Reject-All-American Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I'm sure Green Day are mature enough not to be counting the exact number of seconds each of them are in the video or care who's in it most. Billie's face is featured most because his face is singing the song! True that!!
Netsirk Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 i dont know what to think of the video to be honest... i love the ending when they go from cartoon to real life... but the rest of it i was just like "ehhh...." so far out of the three videos from this CD i think 21 guns was the absolute best.
Sarahnade. Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 OK, so I've watched the video about a billion times in a row, so now I feel comfortable picking my favorite parts/highlights for me. (Which is like...all of it.)-The dude sliding down the market decline. That's my favorite thing for some reason.-The little boy climbing into the TV.-The kiss, of course.-Billie shooting himself in the head and the blood splatter.-Christian and Gloria in Tre's drum.-The boy, C & G, and the politician doing the 'heys!'-Gloria being pregnant!-The baby being tossed into the fire. (Way to kick off the video!)-The fact that it's all cartoon-y.-Billie on the floor, camera circling towards him.-The bouqet of flowers! It looks just like the roses my friend and I gave to Billie at our show, so it has personal significance.-How fast-pased it is. So much is happening at once, that it's not boring at all.-At about 3:34, theres a random twitch in the screen, which is cool.-The crowd and text on the walls.-Billie in the TV, with politicians in other TV's surrounding him. (Also how at this part, his facial expressions are so funny. He's screaming, and then he looks calm, but pissed, and then looks desperate/sad. I don't know, but I find it funny.)-Billie's chest-gesture when he sings "Debt to the status quo"-Politician coming out of the grave.-Mike's nodding at the end. I just found it funny.-Evil Billie face!-Ink becoming Billie's eyeliner...Yeah, I named like everything. I'm only unsure about two parts, and that's the ending and the Gloria and Christian car scene. That's just sorta random. I don't know. And I like how the ending is all normal, but the sun is kind of annoying, and it's just..awkward?But all in all, it's hands down my favorite Green Day video EVER. It just blows my mind. I cannot stop watching it. So fucking brilliant. Kudos to Marc Webb; I was seriously doubting him. He pulled through, though.
Haydée Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I'm sure Green Day are mature enough not to be counting the exact number of seconds each of them are in the video or care who's in it most. Billie's face is featured most because his face is singing the song!I'm talking about the part where his head is circling, that's what I think it's creepy.and when I said there's way too much Billie, I'm not talking about the lack of Tre and Mike, I'm sure they don't give a crap about that..I'm just saying Billie is an attentionwhore.. that GD cares? I don't know, or care
forget_me_nots Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 i dont know what to think of the video to be honest... i love the ending when they go from cartoon to real life... but the rest of it i was just like "ehhh...." so far out of the three videos from this CD i think 21 guns was the absolute best.Agreed.
Sunshine2385 Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 lol at the girl fixing the car. I too love the end!

dolce Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 -Billie in the TV, with politicians in other TV's surrounding him. (Also how at this part, his facial expressions are so funny. He's screaming, and then he looks calm, but pissed, and then looks desperate/sad. I don't know, but I find it funny.)I never actually realized how just how expressive he is until watching this (which is odd because I think I've spent more than half my life looking at him ). His eyes can say a million words. That scene in particular you mentioned he really does go through all those emotions in like, two seconds, lol. Pretty cool. I especially liked the face he made at "left me for dead or alive", because he just looks SO sad, it's so believable. I don't remember at the second when it was, but I also loved him praying and looking up. So cool.
Andrick Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 well that was different but still somewhat cool
Netsirk Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 another comment; did anyone else think of Juno when they pictured Gloria with a pregnant belly, or was it just me??? lol
-AreWeTheWaiting- Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Am I the only one that thinks , at the very end, when Mike and Tré kinda just slide in, then slide out, is kinda tacky ?I mean, the rest of the vid is amazing , but it's just that one part that i'm not so sure bout' :/

Rae'n'shine Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I actually really loved when Billie's head was spinning around and then his eyes opened wide, like he was hypnotizing everybody into saying, "Listen to Green Day, love Green Day, buy Green Day concert tickets!" I've said it once, and I'll say it again: BEST GREEN DAY VIDEO EVER!

I don't remember at the second when it was, but I also loved him praying and looking up. So cool.Exactly! He looked pissed, calm, and sad in about 5 seconds. It's so awesome. And, yeah, later his teeth were clenched, and it looked like he was screaming/was so angry. His emotion in the video projected the song so well, I think.

Jaymee!! Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I am so in love with this video, I cannot stop watching it on MM.com.SO. IN. LOVE.

I felt like it should've just been Billie but the director then thought "Well, I guess I shouldn't leave Mike and Tre out...". And, I mean, I'm glad he did include them, to me it just appeared like, IDK - forced?
greenday801440 Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I totally agree with all of the favorite parts Sarahnade said..I love Billie's facial expression when he sings "It's a song that strangles me" He sings it through like clenched teeth!And yeah at the end they zoom back and I'm like.. "Oh heyy Mike and Tre" then they zoom in and I'm like "Oh..bye then...." kind of odd..I showed it to my dad and he's trying to figure who the politicans are (besides Nixon)..lol
Netsirk Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 YES!!! Lolhaha cool! i didnt wanna be the only one lmao
