I'm hoping this is the appropriate area to open this discussion. I just watched Childish Gambino's "This is America" music video for about the 100th time. Also reading articles that talk about the different meanings and the symbolism. If you haven't seen it yet, it's accessible for free on Youtube.
I have 3 questions I'd like to field, to start.
1.) Does anyone on Jow Forums live in Oaxaca? Are his claims true? What is the mexican/latin american response to this video?
2.) Other than the obvious background activities masterfully concealed in this video(the horseman, the suicide, etc), has anyone noticed anything going on in the backround?
3.) what do you think the car scene is trying to convey? I noticed most of them had their hazards on, the way it draws away makes me think like, as you focus on the media, you lose perspective on everything around you.
Any other input feedback from people outside of america, I'm very interested to hear how it was received.
If you hated the video, I'd like to read about that too if you just explain why. Thanks for your time.
