There is no point in doing this here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because to me this video talks about gun violence, which to me is different than discussing gun control. Everyone is anti-gun violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I'm trying to skirt the lines of what I can and cannot discuss on the video. Basically, I think that the video tried to suggest that the media tries to sweep certain things under the rug. I disagree, and I think the video is proof in and of itself that media does the exact opposite of sweep this stuff under the rug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I didn't pick that up but maybe I'm missing something. I haven't read any analysis on the video though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the song stuck in my head too, and found myself going back and watching it a few more times. So then I went to spotify and checked out some of his other songs, which I didn't like at all lol.

Its also a social commentary on how these shootings occur and then as a public its at the forefront for a brief time before going back to the background again. So I guess, less lack of media coverage and more as a whole people just move onto the next thing and become easily distracted while the issues persist behind the scenes.

I think its a satire of the entirety of it all. The beauty here is that it just SHOWS you. It doesn’t do much to TELL you. Very much is simply saying THIS IS AMERICA and it lets you determine what America is. It’s less social commentary and more of a social mirror IMO. You can see what you want to see.

MKnight82 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I think the point of the video is just to get people talking about these issues, in which case they have succeeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been talking about these issues ad infinitum, mostly into their own echo chambers or amongst peers who already agree with them. What there hasn't been is actual civil dialogue between people, or groups of people, who disagree yet are both seeking positive change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Let me just say I thought the Direction and visuals of the video we're done very well. it's the message behind the video that annoys me. And before someone goes off the deep end, I'm not saying that none of the messages were relevant... but it ignores very real facts and paints a false narrative in the name of social justice. For instance, without getting into much detail, it calls out how one certain group supposedly treats another, while completely ignoring facts and a much bigger issue. But that's what the mainstream media does... just bend everything to fit their agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
