Music videos are important in the development of a song. They bring it to life. They expose every aspect of it and make it real. Most of the songs out have highly technical videos, full of movement and graphics. They allow the singers to fly and jump over crowds of people, morph into aliens, and so much more.
Katy Perry's "E.T"
Then there are some artists that bring a new meaning to music videos. Instead of heightening graphics and multiplying green screens, they introduce miniature movies. Mini works of art that tell stories.
The band 30 Seconds to Mars created one of these works of art.
The music video for "Hurricane" went under extensive editing once it was released. The religious, political and overall sexual factors in the film made it so controversial that many stations in America wouldn’t show it in full. The idea that society would be so against the idea of bondage, and other graphic images shown in the movie, seems to baffle the director, lead singer Jared Leto.
He tells Entertainment Weekly,
"I just think it’s interesting that when you turn on the news or whatever else catches your interest, how much violence and negativity is available out there. As soon as it comes time for sexuality, it’s a big shock that people are sexual beings. It’s an interesting double standard to me."
The movie is really a work of art. Divided into three chapters: "Birth," "Life" and "Death," it follows the band members journey through New York City at night.
