Hallelujah. Trump & Gorillaz...
As you all know, the new Gorillaz single is not receiving much of a positive reaction from the audience. Hallelujah Money covers a topic that everyone has been tired of hearing about. Politics.
The representation in the video is so…immense. Let me show you the few things that I have found.
Animal Farm is a book and animated movie that covers inequality in such a simple form that even children can catch on to. This pig that is seen in the video is Napoleon. He puts all of the farm animals to hard labor, as his fellow pigs bask in the worldly goods. He is a terrible dictator.
“Fantastic Planet” can be seen for a split second in the video. It is a French animated film about these…blue fish people that take humans in as pets, and treats them like animals.
Let’s get this out of the way. Yeah, that spongebob clip scared the shit out of me and it felt out of place didn’t it?
It was suppose to.
When we think of spongebob, we think of a child. Innocent and sweet. (And annoying) The three second clip practically summed up the whole video. Spongebob is the representation of the Americans that do not support Trump.
Regardless, I do have to say this. I. Am. Tried. Of. Politics.
Other things to note is:
A trump puppet shadow that quickly takes the head of 2D.
Benjamin can be seen in one scene, hiding behind the book he is holding after the song mentions ‘power’ in a spine chilling way towards the end. He quickly stops cowering when the rainbow and birds backdrop is used.
One last thing..
This is the Trump tower elevator.
