tvrman Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I have just watched the Billy Talent video (which made no sense to myself). I think the similarity might be the set itself, and Green Day just made better use of it.tvrman
HoneyDo666 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I don't understand the hate being shown to this video!1.) 4 gorgeous guys2.) Billie Joe close ups 3.) 2 beautiful people who don't say anything so we don't have to judge their acting!4.) beautiful cinematographyWhat more can you ask for?

Freeny Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 now that I've watched the video a bunch a times I really like it! I love the shots of the band.. But Billie's lip-thingy makes me crack up xD haha.
steelthorne Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Me too, I thought it was very similar even before I had seen the whole video (21 guns). I had just seen a screenshot from the end and I was thinking: " Hey, it looks like the video for Surrender from Billy Talent".hmmmm....no way they would purposely copy a video that bad. Billy Talent sucks ass and so does his shitty video. They're like just barely slightly similar. Not the same at all.

MusicalDeviant Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Jeez, people are only expressing an opinion, why be such a goon about it?It's probably my least favourite Green Day video; I am so disappointed that, given the meaning behind the song, the director didn't make it forceful or interesting enough. The concept of Christian and Gloria seemed useless to me, because there was no indication of who they even were to someone who might not know what the entire album's about.See? Even she's pissed off. Agreed. Where's the anger and the pain these characters are supposed to have?
GreenDayaremyGods Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I think Billie looks beautiful in it, his eyeliner was doen extra well Overall I like it. I knew right away that the girl was Gloria and whoever picked the actors did a really good job! The vid is pretty intense. But that's no surprise for Green Day
davegrohllover Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I loved the video. I thought Billie looked so Handsome!
Fuzz Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 They don't list a source for that info, so until we have it confirmed from somewhere, never trust Wikipedia for information.

It's annoying as fuck, and for most of you he's old enough to be your dad. You will never ever have a chance at any of these guys, so continue this fantasy of yours'. You can judge acting without words, there used to be silent films and they would get judged on their acting. That is probably the dumbest comment I have personally seen come towards this video. You can get judged on almost anything in acting, and to be quite honest if you've never acted before then I suggest you do. Even if you have no lines, you're still shit nervous about doing it. You can always get judged on your performance.I know some of you aren't going to admit to Green Day's plagiarism, but you know inside that they're stealing someone else's work. Then some of you will say, "oh well, they did a better job." Well, until they give credit to Billy Talent for making at least half of the idea behind the video, then they're stealing. It's a good song, but the video isn't.
blitzkriegdeb Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I'm just dissapointed with the lack of energy this video has, considering how beautiful the song was. But besides that, I haven't heard anything about this video on any of the U.S music video channels, have any of you guys?

It's a good song, but the video isn't.Billie Joe's nearly twice my age, with 17 years on me. Doesn't mean I'm any less attracted to him, but yes, its seems a little inappropriate. I consider facial expressions to be a part of acting. And both actors showed little variation in their expressions throughout the entire video. Like I said before, this video may suck, but at least it doesn't have Transformers robots in it. Considering that many credible bands with songs prominently featured in a film often put characters from said movie into their video, Green Day could have EASILY done that. Just be thankful that they didn't. But as we all predicted, this song is this album's BOBD (although 21 guns is infinitely better). Teenies love it. Notice all the "billie joe is so hot/sexy/handsome/etc" comments? Yeah, they said the same thing for the BOBD video too. The cycle repeats. :down:Actors are Lisa Stelly and Joshua Boswell.Mr. Boswell was in the movie Boy Culture, which is about, and I quote: "A successful male escort describes in a series of confessions his tangled romantic relationships with his two roommates and an older, enigmatic male client." No wonder he's so damn hot. He plays for my team . It all makes sense now.
Fuzz Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 Whoa nice. Looks like i need to add a movie on my netflix queue.Edit: And added.

It's a good song, but the video isn't.I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought the video was similar to Billy Talent's Try Honesty. That's the name of the song right? Anyway, I didn't think the video was that bad, although it could have been better...Way better.
The Disappearing Boy Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 its a good video. not great, and not their best, but its ok.the gunfire during the chorus, and billie's sneering during the first verse were both a bit weird, but apart from that it was ok.
MusicalDeviant Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Whoa nice. Looks like i need to add a movie on my netflix queue.Edit: And added.I'm just streaming it for free right now. And watching it. From what I can tell its about hot people with problems involving sex and such.Take it back. This movie's actually (dare I say it) good. Really good.

They're like just barely slightly similar. Not the same at all.I know that even though they share some similarities, the videos are different. Maybe, I just expressed myself wrong. I didn't want to say they were the same.
John McClane Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I thought it was a little similar but I was expecting much worse based on the comments made here. Video is okay though, I agree it could have been better. But really boys, take off the guyliner.
