Marc Webb needs a billion pats on the back for creating this masterpiece.

This.

[Emjay]

I wouldn't call it the best GD video ever

but i really loved it! i had to search a lot because

the mtv website didn't work, but it was really worth

it. I already liked the song but the video's even

better!

does somebody know who the man who throws that

baby is? or isn't he even supposed to be anybody?

Lol@the mental image I got because of that

[Sarahnade.]

^ Perhaps also a hooker?

That's Richard Nixon, the former president.

He's mentioned in the song; "Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell."

[Mari91]

^yep, that

I thought it was in LA, but I'm not sure.....

no idea what building

yup definitely LA

some what similar to thins picture. i think i may be sunset boulevard, but im REALLY not sure.

ive only gone to LA once and it was 3 years ago...

[Sarahnade.]

I want one of those trees.

[Katarina.]

At least we know they were in LA

Now we need to figure out what building it was.

A tall one.

But, I don't know. Maybe ask Marc Webb, whoever wants to know? He has a Facebook. I'm sure he's a busy guy and might not have the time, but it's worth a try.

[mistress]

Can someone tell me why the 2 politicians make out?

Just curious.

there's a phrase, something like "when politicians crawl into bed with each other"

it means they're working together toward something on the side, plotting... or something similiar to that..

i think that's what it's supposed to represent

*snort*

maybe MusicDeviant (sorry I forgot what your username exactly was and your real name too ) knows it, he said something about that he was only 2 blocks away from it.

Yeah, harass him for the answer. I wish I lived 2 blocks away from it; that'd be awesome. Such an epic view. I'm still unsure about the ending, but the setting was really beautiful - especially with the sunset. Instead of the calm before the storm, it was the calm after the storm, I think. Everything was so quick and chaotic, and at the end, it's all normal again.

[Storer]

I absolutely LOVE when it skips to seeing Green Day on that rooftop. There's just something about the sun on the horizon in that bit that makes my jaw drop every time

[Ila Reto]

that video is amazing. it also opened up some new points of view on the album's storyline.

oh and his one little hand gesture (the praying hands) totally made me realize that "the freedom to obey" is

refering to religious toleration. thats right, paying attention in AP American History FTW.

[Sarahnade.]

I loved it since it came out, but I've officially fallen in complete love with it.

It has to be one of the best things they've ever made in their career. There just aren't enough bad things I can say about; I can barely find one flaw. It's just brilliant.

[gabbag]

So I think I have started a new bedtime ritual I keep watching it on my Ipod right before I go to sleep, it is fantastic

thats one great sight before you sleep!

this video makes me appreciate the song so much more.

is it sad that when i hear the song i can picture the video in my head?

You are so right. I watch it at least once a day.

It's good therapy.

[Modern Zero.]

I thought that the video was fantastic! =D

I loved the part where everyone is screaming, "HEY!" and I also thought that the part where the little boy gets pulled into the TV was pretty cool.

And Billie's head randomly spinning around seriously made my day.

But does anyone know where I can watch this video online without downloading it...?

Because I tried to go to GD.com to find out where to watch it, but all it showed was MTV from other countries. There wasn't one for the US, and then obviously I'm not going to find it on youtube....and I can't watch it on TV because for one: Seriously, how often are they even going to show the video on MTV..? and for two: I don't even have MTV, Fuse, VH1, or any of those music channels.... :/

Haha no but it is sad that while I was sitting in class and half asleep I started to picture the video and I wasn't even listening to the song

Yupp we were discussing before that it was like, "Who needs anti depressants when you have the 21st century breakdown music video!"

There's not really any other way to watch it then. :/ I don't think it will air on MTV anyway since it's not a US single, but I don't really know how it works. And it's off YouTube officially? Because I saw two videos on YouTube yesterday. It is probably off though, and if it's not, it will be soon.

Does anyone else know the answer to this question? Because I'm not exactly sure I'm right.

The 21st Century Breakdown video is seriously visual Prozac.

[amy_runs]

I get excited as the video is ending; the box Billie is standing on makes me LOL every time.

[Heather!]

Amy, your ava is so fucking epic.

This is probably my favorite part... Billie's lips <3

[Sarahnade.]

Same here! I know it's coming, and I try to prepare myself to not laugh, but it doesn't work. I just end up choking or snorting from trying to suppress major LOLness. But I just can't help but stare at the freakin' box.

Yea I don't think you can watch it online, you would have to illegally download it or buy it off of youtube

And it is! We should prescribe it to sad people

Warning: Side effects may include obsessive viewing, seeing the video when it is not actually there, hysterical laughter whenever you see boxes. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded while viewing, do not contact your doctor because this is a mild reaction to Billie Joe.
