PoC video - Page 54

Jack DC 93 · 03-06-2012, 12:56 AM

Looks like EMI were pressured into releasing it early.

Smart move.

I think it's fucking cool! As I know what's coming, lower your standards people, it's just a video!

Prospector · 03-06-2012, 01:13 AM

I'll start with the good things: there are some really beautiful visuals on the video, like the Rihanna with lots of arms and Chris walking on the desert.

Now the rest: I was waiting for a plot the whole video, but nothing showed up! And some shots are quite cheassy (that blue moon scene is horrible). The boys should be there, it's not Chris Martin and Rihanna, it's COLDPLAY! And the most important is, it doesn't fit the song and the album, it's just completely out of place. I'm one of the few here that like the CB video, because it fits with it just right, POC just throws a lot of asian themes into pointless shoots of Chris and Rihanna "interacting".

Chris and Rihanna should bang.

Lack of Chinese imagery was disturbing, and I had no idea what was going on in that video.

you cant compare PoC to their previous work because it has the name of a COUNTRY in the bloody title. its like naming a bond movie 007: Romania and then creating something about Poland!! raised eyebrows are inevitable. plus they've "tried" to go for an asian look anyway but got everything mixed up. so it does matter you see

This made me laugh so hard... Thanks !

I totally agree with all you said.

It's quiet a striking video. But it could be much more... Coldplay, you did it well...

Haruka · 03-06-2012, 01:46 AM

did anyone notice the influence of Kung Fu Panda 2 on this video?

Rihanna

Shen (the villain)

and all those scenarios are very similar too

Sorta like the visuals in Plastic Beach by Gorillaz. Sky-pirates, giant plastic island, masked demon thing, etc. and no story. It's part of the wacky, colourful aspect of the era. How effective that is is another matter, but I don't think they were aiming for a cohesive story like they were in, for example, Strawberry Swing...

this makes total sense to me. I had wondered why it started with the trailer shot

Destrokk · 03-06-2012, 01:51 AM

oh god

that was awesome
