Divisive Princess 3,754 Posted August 13, 2015 I thought the video was cute. I wasn't expecting Ride or Born to Die. I was pretty satisfied. It's def better than Ultraviolence. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunder Revenant 20,943 Posted August 13, 2015 I like the video. The visuals are good and i love how it obviously doesn't try to be anything it isn't. Unlike Ultraviolence, which is so super tryhard-indie-simple-deep and Tropico, where i wasn't sure if she wanted it to be partly humorous or if she actually intended it to be taken as serious as some stans here do, HBTB is awesome in all it's strangeness and intended to be that way. The only thing I dislike is when the rebounds a few second. I see it's supposed to be a stylistic device but the way it's used is not really interesting. 4 Quote Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!

COLACNT 5,178 Posted August 13, 2015 first half was kinda boring, but i loved when she started running. the best part was when her robe got caught on the rail lmao followed by the part where she pulled the gun from the guitar case. overall, the weave on my pussy has been 75% snatched 15 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GangstaBoy 3,930 Posted August 13, 2015 it wasnt terrible - i dont know what people were expecting or what people continue to expect from her?? Well try comparing this video to BTD or even SOC and you'll figure it out. And it's not like I'm super critical, I like most of what she puts out but I think this could've been done differently, show her struggle adding more paparazzi harassing her on the beach for example. For most of the video it looks as if she didn't care about the helicopter and next thing I know she's running down to grab a gun to take it down 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C0neyIslandKing 2,206 Posted August 13, 2015 The part where she's running back in to the house with the guitar case and her gown gets caught and she turns to pull herself free is so cute! Overall I LOVED the video! Really lovely to look at too 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don 199 Posted August 13, 2015 I would most definitely consider it one of her best. Iconic even. To each their own though. 2 Quote Yo soy él, cegado por tu inocencia, y esperando el día en el que me veas, aunque parece tardar más que la promesa de felicidad.

Hellish 488 Posted August 13, 2015 Honestly that was awesome.When I first heard the song I actually had thought that could have been about "just wanting to be left alone, let me get high by the beach and stop bothering me damnit." But I wasn't sure. Just the idea that this was filmed at her house is so awesome, and did everyone else notice there was something about her in the magazine? I think one of my favorite scenes is when the helicopter is really close to her by the window.HOWEVER, LANA BE LIKE: 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VegasBaby 895 Posted August 13, 2015 i like it better then the 'big production' vids like BTD or Ride because seems more personal to me and authentic idk doesnt always have to have big tigers lying next to her sitting on a gold throne to make statements and the views are already mountin' up 3 Quote Sweeping scents and blue hydrangea.

She's hiding in her room and trying to ignore it (which is how she generally handles press) then she snapped for whatever reason, tired of seeing herself be misinterpreted and slandered and decided that it was time to shoot the shit talkers down. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

technicolor 243 Posted August 13, 2015 Fuck, even the video is bad. It's like amateur hour. The half assed lip synching in the bedroom. The flop down on the bed. The running around a house, like what is this, a video or a house tour. I know people will totally disagree but I'm in disbelief at how atrocious this is. I'm literally just staring at the screen and my face is full of wat. And that fucking outro, Jesus fuck. And it looks like she's either pregnant or got a boob job. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazybooklet 575 Posted August 13, 2015 Maybe there isn't meant to have a concrete meaning for HBTB. Maybe the song is about a man but the video is about the media, or the song is both a man and the media. The ambiguity actually makes the song better. Maybe Lana thought something like a helicopter and a gun would be ~aesthetic~ but not meant to be anything deep. But we can all agree that the video is beautiful ~artistically~, unlike generic MVs nowadays 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
