"Anyone else seen this video for the song by Childish Gambino? I don't pretend to get all the references that are supposedly in it, but thought bits were quite powerful. Torn between it being brilliant and pretentious though. Is there a middle ground? " some of it is really obvious i.e the shooting of the charleston 9 who were in a church and gunned down..... some of it is a lot more subtle, the way the gun in the very first scene is treated better than humans, the dancing, the kkk stuff in the background, the kids recording everything with their mobile phones... the more you watch it, the more you notice things you didn't before.... i am sure a fan of donald glover at the moment... i think "atlanta" is one of the best shows on TV! he is doing stuff that kanye could only wish of.... | |||

But there's a hell of a lot going on in it. | |||

But there's a hell of a lot going on in it. " a lot of the "poses" come from jim crow and the minstrel era the last scene is basically an homage to "get out".... if you haven't seen it then do!!!!! but yeah... there is so so much going on i still watch it now and notice new stuff... i think is still screams "don't get distracted by the shiny stuff and look at the stuff in the background".... the white horse with the klannsman on it is a perfect example... | |||

"It's still difficult to catch all that's going on in the background. " That's the point America focuses on the singing and dancing and ignores the violence going on all around them.Notice thosr that dance with him never come to harm. | |||
