Okay,  I haven't seen her Odyssey film,  but I've seen some of the videos in it. Is it really worth watching it as a whole?  It's like a damn hour  :toofunny:

 

 

It's fine, but unless you really love the album and visuals strongly affect how you view music, you can probably skip it.

How can I unsee a post? Help? Someone? Anyone?!

I would say it is most definitely worth it. It's truly stunning, heartbreaking and uplifting all at the same time. The cinematography is incredible and her choreography is wonderful. I've watched the full thing about 4-5 times and I constantly go back and watch clips

I would say yes. It's one of my favorite visual albums. I think the director Vincent and Florence worked really well together and I loved how they interpreted some of the songs.

Let's not pretend the videos weren't repetitive. They basically fall into three categories: "standing still while the camera pans dramatically", "frenetic movement through a space" and "group groping". If they've already seen some of them, they've probably got the gist.

New interview with Annie Mac is up. She talks extensively about HAH and what inspired it. Also, for those who don't know, Emile Haynie and Flo co-produced the album together. He's one of my favorite producers so I have high hopes (no pun intended lol)

"The thing with Emile is that he doesn't really wanna mess with demos that much"

 

EMILE WHERE R U WHEN LANA NEEDS U

You should probably look a little deeper into it! They aren't just pop music videos where the choreography is meaningless. A lot of the dance moves have *specific* purpose tied to *specific* meaning. You should watch the hour long interview she did after it premiered, she explains it well :) The videos def. weren't repetitive either, if you actually take the time to look into each one rather than watching it superficially (no shade haha). Plus there are scenes in the film that aren't in the videos individually and some are edited different. Flo isn't some popstar that is dictated by trends and management. Her work is actually a part of her, so I would consider carefully watching it again!

I've read the meanings, looked through the interviews and watched the whole thing in its entirety twice, along with each of the individual videos a handful of times. I understand what she was going for and don't think it was successful. It is really that simple. If someone's strapped for time and doesn't think they can keep their attention on something for an hour, there's no point in suggesting watching it. Your condescending tone is also pretty cringetastic. Don't talk down to people just because they don't like the same things as you.
