This weekend is gonna be a fucking awesome time, I just know it! I just have one of those sneaking suspicions that I’m going to relax, kick back, and enjoy every second. That’s why I want to showcase a video that’s just as fun and exciting for this edition of Twisted Music Video Of The Week, although it’s far more violent and insane than I hope to experience.
This week, we’re watching Is Tropical‘s “The Greeks”, which comes from their 2011 album Native To. The video, which was directed by Megaforce, shows a bunch of kids playing with toy guns around their neighborhood. However, their active imagination leads these battles to become fucking massive action sequences with ungodly amounts of blood and carnage. Luckily, the difference between the “real world” and their imagination is as easy as identifying what’s real and what’s drawn.
I love this video because you could never get away with something like this in the States. Having kids murder each other in super brutal ways? Showing kids in a “lab” and “making drugs”? Holy shit, our society would descend into the most insane levels of righteous indignation. But what’s great about this video is that kids imagination’s ARE that active and that crazy! All this video is doing is showing that off in a way we can actually see and I find that to be so damn cool.
Alright, enough of me gushing about this video. Go down and watch it!
