[paradisetropico 7,419]

i love that it was written by her. she’s so smart. 

also all of the looks are so freaking iconic… like she ate them all up!!!!! period! so much effort !!! 

 

her big hair is my favorite look on her stylistically..so i am still shook from this… 

 

i also didn’t immediately think she was channeling Priscilla with the big hair? i think the end at the hollywood star was her true self right? idk 🤷‍♂️

I agree, I don't think she was channeling Veronica Lake either, I think those two were her before and after she let go of the necklace.

you're just not getting it babe. It's a dis of the whole idea of nonsense pop video culture.

 

music videos are dying out, people don't care, and the idea of Hollywood glamor and red carpet culture is tired af.

 

because everyone knows right now that behind it is hard work, and pain, and sweat, and blood and couch casting, and tons of money and advertising and unequal pay, etc

 

she explicitly voices this in the video by saying "i can't be a robot."

 

she's over the industry. Like really over it. Tired of playing the game. She dissed it with Arcadia but this is taking it to the next level.

 

So that's why she said "where do we go from here?" It's a full 180 from her BTD videos.

 

honestly, i think it's the best and most important video of the year.

 

 

 

This is the best summary of the video.

 

It’s crazy people keep calling it a cute BTS video, when it IS the official one! I think this is my favorite video of hers in recent years.

This is Veronica Lake doing for promo for “I Married A Witch”, Lana’s white outfit is very similar. So I definitely think it was a hommage or referencing Veronica Lake.

 

Veronica Lake was born Constance Ockelman and changed her name when she came to Hollywood. She was known for blonde wavy hair and her style became very popular in the 40s. She struggled with alcoholism and while she didn’t die, her addiction did have to do with her leaving Hollywood to find recovery.

 

again many similarities to Lana’s story.

can’t get over how amazing this video is!!! this makes me so hungry for more tunnel visuals. i hope so bad that we get more 

[Surf Noir 188,488]

veronica lake was the first person who came to mind when i saw the blonde wig scenes, her long, wavy locks are quite distinct

OMG YES LANA FANS WON. SHE DEVOURED. 

[ivory almond 10,475]

just got back from my 6 hour long ap bio exam to this news
probably failed it but it's okay because CNMV IS HEREEEEEE

 

[PARADIXO 31,566]

This video is the statement on why she is the way she is now. She must have seen so many things.

 

Also I can't believe we just got her best video of the 2020s (so far).

 

I hope we get more great visuals like this for the rest of the decade (and for this album hopefully).

[CoochieSwirlC 2,026]

This music video is top tier imo. I absolutely love the message behind it. Reading those comments asking for the “real” music video made me question if some people have critical thinking skills or not

How is this considered a music video? It's a 10 min bts. Amazing visuals and looks ruined by this mess. My hopes are lost at this point

Because it’s a video with music playing the entire time

I think the end of her with no candy necklace on was her saying that she will always remain true to herself and that she has broken free from the burden of “candy necklaces” that the women that proceeded her unfortunately dealt with.

Definitely this^^^ shes smiling at the end, everything is in color, shes in front of the her star. Its her ideal world, where art is appreciated and shes not seen just as this product of the industry to create an aesthetic. While i love every single look, i think it also represents how people expect her to look and act like a diva all the time. I got that Lana wants to feel glamorous and beautiful on her own terms, not society’s. Shes always referenced glamorous women who have deserved better in her art, but this film really added a layer of contemplation to the glamour and aesthetic of Lana Del Rey.

if she was doing an homage to Veronica Lake she FOR SURE would've mentioned her schizophrenia one way or another.
Marilyn was in a therapy session in the MV.

my brain literally went “WIGG!!!” I was cacklingggg 

No you dont understand. I do drag and when i saw that wig come off i physically screamed i was like YESSSS MOTHAAAAAAA

[details 15,650]

the 10 minute timestamp caught me off guard no wonder they took so long editing it bitch that's a short film! and i live for it!

[Super Movie 50,264]

The stylistic inspirations are definitely Elizabeth Short, Marilyn Monroe, and Veronica Lake. The curls Lana has after she takes the long, blonde wig off are also reminiscent of Elizabeth Short, but could also have some Rita Hayworth or even Clara Bow inspiration to them for sure. The last look with the Walk of Fame star is purely just Lana to me

'Rockefeller' could also just be a synonym for a rich man

The Rockefeller family is an extremely wealthy family with ties to new york and florida so i always thought the references matched the aesthetic perfectly.
