I got my xbox hooked up in the mx-3 and i started looking for some music videos to download onto it...and I came across this one by Unkle, featureing the vocals from the lead singer of Radiohead.

I think it's a very powerfull video, but I have yet to come up with a satisfying explanation for what it's truely about or what it symbolizes.

Let me know what you think, and what you think it means.

Wow.. crazy vid... well lets see.... all through the vid he is upset while wearing the coat, weak and crazy... then when he rips the coat off he slow come sane... and stronger.. I would say .. this is just from what my take is of the vid.. I'm sure there is alot more other opinions on this..

I think vid is about being tide down to something... maybe drungs, alcohol, somebody.. something... that is holding you back.. then when you shed or let go of the thing holding you back you become strong... can see things for what they are.. nothing will stop you now...

Thanks just my $0.02

I would love to hear someones else take on it...

very powerfull vid!

You may or may not be interested in movies such as Donnie Darko, I <3 Huckabees, and American Beauty.

Movies that just make you wonder.

Theres some more to this list, once you get interested in them they're addicting.

I like what Kirk said! I didn't even think of that..And as soon as the car runs over the jacket, he opens his arms and smiles....very interesting!

The first thing I thought of was how each hit was progressively harder, yet he got up faster each time. The first hit he was on the ground, I thought he was dead. Then he gets up. The next hit is much harder, but he keeps talking, and gets up. The next one he gets up much quicker, and the one after that he gets up without a probelm, almost right away....by the end, he can withstand a hit without falling over....

I think it partly symbolizes the whole "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

Also, another thing was the reactions from the drivers. This man clearly is having a problem, and nobody stops to help him, accept one man in his car who ran out of patience, but stopped long enough to give him a false feeling that he did something good....It symbolizes how people with issues are being ignored in the world, and not being helped if they have a problem. If somebody trys to help them, they don't have any patience.

Another few movies that make you think include Kpax, Momento, and I found fightclub to make me think alot as well...
