Fall Out Boy-Part 10 of 11-Miss Missing You

This video was certainty action packed, it didn't really resolve anything in the story. (but don't worry everything gets resolved in the finale.) This was a nice part none the less.





The video is shot entirely in the black and white, seeing as the previous videos were shot in colour making this video stand out from the others in the series.
In photography Black and white is often used to convey emotion, black and white is often used in wedding photo's and black and white was used in the film Schindler's List because black and white makes the viewer concentrate on the images opposed to the colours making it the emotion's clearer.

The video doesn't quite start off where the last video ended, there is meant to be an extended version that hasn't been released yet, maybe it will fill in the gap.

The video starts in what looks like a desert with a monologue spoken in a women's voice over images of blood dripping on plants, Pete walking with the case and Patrick following him.
it reads:

They just sat back, laughing at the wounded city. each breath sucking in ashes and fumes. Oh it bled all right, dryer than moore county. All expatriate flames hurrying to found new nations of blinding dust. But the two of them, they just squinted at that pipe-cleaner skyline. And it burned hotter than their oil slick pupils. One elbowed the other and said “I’ve seen better.” Knowing that they were paid to remember the past - he blew out a hot breath and said “Burn it all.”

The title is shows over an establishing shot of the desert, the text is written in black. (it's usually written in white.) This could be a way of differentiating this video further from the other or because the videos in black and white black text is easier to read on the grey sky.

The pair are also seen to be pursued by two people on motor bikes, the motor bikes pass them.
Patrick and Pete both appear to be injured.

We are shown shots of what is best described as a car graveyard with cars and shells of car lined up in rows, Pete makes his way through the cars to hide from/escape from Patrick.
The shots are shown to let the audience know that we are now in a new location.

A one eyed doll is seen peeking out of a window then followed by the face of a young girl.

Because dolls are toys they represent innocence (and even more so because this dolls looks like a baby) the dolls is missing an eye which makes it looks a little sinister, this could represent broken innocence.

Pete then hides in a car, a shot of Patrick is seen in a cars wing mirror.Looking at someone in the wing mirror of a car is discreet because the mirror is small and not necessarily easy to spot, someone could see where someone is going or doing without being spotted.

This is probably Pete's point of view but the fact they just show the audience the shot and not Pete looking in the wing mirror makes the audience feel like they are also hiding, this makes the audience feel fear towards Patrick.

If the shot had featured Pete looking for Patrick through the mirror the audience would've felt sympathy towards Pete and not Fear towards Patrick, this just makes it feel more scary.

Patrick walks through the car graveyard and searches for Pete, the young woman climbs out of the car to show Patrick where Pete is hiding.

Pete then throws the case out the car window, jumps out the window after it, retrieves the case, jumps up onto a car bonnet and runs along the cars to get away from Patrick. I think this just looks more interesting from a cinematic point of view than it would've been if he just opened the door and ran away.

Pete is then seen running into an area fenced off with a picket fence, there is a close up of a statue of Jesus  holding the end of a chain.

There is a muscular man holding the chain in the middle and tugging it and a thinner man with the end of the chain around his neck.

The next shot is a lot clearer.
There is a skinny man painting the picket fence, the picket fence has a cross on it and the man has a chain around his neck.
There is a muscular man on the other side of the fence, he pulls at the end of the chain which is attached to to the other man.
He hold the chain in the middle and he showers the statue with water from a watering can.
The statue holds the end of the chain.

This is a metaphor for religion, the man painting is putting effort into making the church/religious place look better whilst someone with power within the church it's self is making him do it. The man painting is like a church goer and the man on the inside of the fence is like a vicar or a priest.

The priest is literally the middle man between the church goer and the religious figure, he is physically stronger symbolising the power he has over the smaller man.
The fact he's inside the fence would indicate he is receiving the reward from the church goers effort.

The middle man is pulling the chain, the statue is holding the chain but the statue can't pull it.
This could be a metaphor of how priests and vicars can make people believe and do things with the justification that it is to please god when in actual fact god doesn't make people do or believe anything.

It's a strange relationship  between slave, chain puller and statue.
The statue can't move so clearly the slave isn't painting the fence for the statue but for the chain puller but at the same time the chain puller is showering the statue which indicates that the statue is of importance to him.

So whilst the smaller man is doing the hard job of painting the fence the bigger man is also doing the albeit easier job of washing the statue.

This is probably a very good description of religion, you have people working hard by putting in time, effort and money for the sake of their religion.
You have a priest who is ultimately reaping the rewards of power and then the deity who whilst not being physically present has control over the other two.

Patrick and Pete run into a trailer, the presumed owner is standing outside carving something manically, she doesn't acknowledge the people who just went into her house, there are an assortment of car related item outside her trailer.

It's not clear what she's doing. It looks like a wooden mask of some sort, in some shots she looks like she's drumming the knives on the table and other times it looks like she's playing the violin with the knife being the fiddle and the mask being the violin. Sometimes she looks angry and sometimes she looks excited.

I'm not really sure what this scene is about, I think it has something to do with music.
Maybe because there is a theme of death within music in these videos, maybe this is a way of showing how music is born or lives on through seemingly unrelated interests.

If this woman can make carving a mask looking musical and rhythmic maybe music can't truly die?

That doesn't really explain the the hub caps, car fuel and tires though.

 Pete loses Patrick and this scene is separated from the next with a shot of a spiny plant dripping with blood.
I'm not sure if the plants have some kind of meaning, the plants could represent life and the blood could represent pain and death or something. This could be a metaphor, perhaps it's meant to symbolise death or how someone else's pain or death can effect others.
The blood could literally be the blood of Pete and Patrick because they are injured and they just happen to leave trails of blood as they move.


In the next scene a little girl is seen playing in an abandoned broadcasting van pressing buttons and flicking switches, she wears a colander on her head.

Patrick approaches her,he might have attacked her if Pete hadn't intervened and distracted him. The little girl is oblivious.

In the video foe Rat A Tat Patrick Stump was brain washed into wanting to destroy anything music related (as opposed to going into fits of blind rage) so by going after this little girl indicates she is doing something Music related.
The colander on her head would imply that she is playing a role play based game and that the colander is a substitute for a hat that she would need for the role she's playing.
It looks like to me she is pretending to be a music producer or DJ, usually children role play as people they admire or who they want to be so in effect she might want to work in music when she's older.

Patrick trying to attack her is maybe a way of preventing her from becoming a DJ/producer/whatever although it could have a deeper meaning, maybe Patrick represents the people who try to discourage children from chasing their dreams because either someone said it was impossible, somebody thought she should  do something else because they don't believe in her or share her dreams.

That theory could hold some weight because the little girl is wearing white and white usually symbolises innocence and purity. (although white could be used because it shows up better in black and white film.)
She is at the stage where she is exploring something secretly and enjoying her self and she hasn't got to the point where someone has tried to discourage her yet, Pete could be trying to stop Patrick to keep her from being discouraged (also to protect her from harm.).
The point of the Young Blood Chronicles is to keep music alive so keeping this girl alive is like saving music.



In the next scene Pete and Patrick are seen running past a pool with a man wrestling an inflatable alligator oblivious to the two bloodied men running past him.

I don't really understand what this is about either but I'm going with the presumption that because its a music video and because music video's are short they wouldn't waste time with filling the video with irrelevant things.

He seems to be taking his alligator wrestling seriously. alligator wrestling is an extreme sport, alligators are strong animals so someone who takes part in alligator wrestling must be strong and it is seen as a tough man sport.

This man is wrestling an inflatable alligator which is light and easy to move.

This could be a metaphor of how people make things seem a lot more dramatic/impressive than they really are, maybe it's a metaphor of how people think that what they are doing is more dramatic/impressive than it really is or maybe it's a metaphor of how people are so absorbed in their own problems and fail to see how small they are in comparison to other peoples problems.

I think I'll leave this one to your interpretation.

 The pair fight a little and the scene changes again.

This shot looks ominous.

 I personally think the tricycle looks like a pokemon.
There is a swing set with a deflated tire swing and a swing that's made out of a stick attached to a chain at both ends, there is also a vent which looks like it's dripping with blood.
Sweet.

I'm not sure if this has a deeper meaning, because of the swing and tricycle it's clear that children live/lived in the house, I think it might represent lost of innocence because of  the run down look of the house and possible blood stains.

This shot is used to change the scene again because in the next shot the boys are seen running through a trailer where an old woman is watching a blank TV wearing a gas mask.

The room looks a little smokey, puffs of smoke waft around Patrick and Pete but it's not clear where the smoke is coming from.

I presume the smoke is coming from the TV, it looks to me like the woman is purposely filling her house with gas by pressing the button on the remote. She is protecting herself from the poison by putting the gas mask on in advance.

If she didn't mean for the room to fill with gas she wouldn't have worn the mask or she would've left the room.
I think this could be a metaphor of how people do things despite knowing they aren't good for you like drinking and smoking.
The TV would suggest that she is being poisoned by media willingly,I think people know that media can be biased and that reality TV isn't always very real but people still choose to watch it.

Pete and Patrick bust through the back door of the smokey house and 2 people are seen out side.

The old man is seen drinking from a bottle in a paper bag before putting goggles on and lying in a tanning bed, a young woman is seen wearing a bikini pouring what looks like petrol over herself.

The man looks a lot older than the women so I would presume the woman is the daughter of the man on the sun bed and the woman with the gas mask.
Tanned skin is seen as more attractive so these people are trying to become more attractive, tanning is also seen dangerous as it can cause skin cancer.
The theme of danger is exaggerated by the woman pouring petrol over herself.
Oil is used in tanning to improve the colour of a tan, petrol is also an oil but it's highly flammable and putting petrol on your skin is an awful idea.

This is clearly a beauty metaphor, I guess what this is saying is that people will go to extreme lengths to make themselves look a certain way when honestly things like a tan, a thinner body, longer hair, bigger boobs ect don't really make you any prettier.

Also following the theory that the girl is meant to be the man's daughter then that would imply that people get their insecurities from their parents.
If you grow up with a dad who's always concerned with topping up his tan he will most likely have children who feel the same.

After another cut away of bloodied plants Patrick and Pete are seen brawling in a clearing and all the people from earlier points in the video crowd around to to watch.
Pete see's flash backs of events from previous videos as he fights Patrick, the crowd cheer as Pete stabs Patrick with a machete.
(They're friends, I swear.)

Patrick then starts stabbing Pete with the hook as the sunsets.
Patrick starts having flash backs as he breaks out of this trance and he finally stops attacking Pete who is unfortunately already dead.

As Patrick takes in the scene he realises he is wounded, coughs up blood and dies.
I thought Patrick would be the last to die, I had this theory for a while now that the band members where dying in the order they reformed the band which would  leave Patrick last as he was the first to make contact by writing a letter to Pete asking if they could write songs together.

Both Joe and Pete were killed by Patrick, Andy was killed by Courtney's henchwomen and Patrick was killed by Pete from beyond the grave.

Joe was killed first because he was the last to be contacted, according to wikipedia Joe was contacted last by Patrick via 3 hour phone call because he needed more convincing to regroup.


I don't know how Andy was contacted, maybe Andy wasn't killed by Patrick because maybe he wasn't approached by Patrick or another band member but maybe he was approached by an agent or something instead.
Pete killed Patrick because Pete was the person who Phoned Patrick to invite him to write songs after Pete received a letter from Patrick.

Basically Patrick was the first to contact a band member so he was the the last to die but he was invited to write songs by Pete so he had to be killed by Pete after he had already killed him, does that makes sense?

The video ends with the music fading out eerily as Patrick loses conciousness, two women then retrieve the briefcase and leave.

This video didn't really explain anything as such in the way of the on going story, to be honest they could've missed this video out and have them either die at the end of Rat a Tat or the beginning of Save Rock and Roll, I don't think that would've done the story any justice.

I think the final fight between brainwashed Patrick and Pete needed time and they managed to throw some cool metaphors in there too. (or at least I think they did.) Putting the final fight at the beginning or end of a different video would've been too unceremonious and I feel they filled the video well.

The finale wraps things up properly so stay tuned for the final Young Blood Chronicles Post. 
What did you think of the video? Let me know what you think in the comments.

Over Sexualised Music Videos: Maroon 5 - If I Never See Your Face Again ft. Rihanna

 The music video If I Never See Your Face Again is pretty sexual, it's the combination of a regularly sexualised women, a regularly sexualised man, chemistry and a song about casual sex. What could be better.
I love this music video.

The definition of sexualisation is kind of broad?
If someone is being desired by another then I guess it's technically a sexual scenario, I'm not really talking about sexual music videos but rather the music videos that are a little too sexual.
The kind of music video that makes you feel a little uncomfortable to watch in front of other people. That kind of sexual.

Most music videos can be split into different types's of sexual scenario's:

• The artist is represented sexually, more common if the artist is female.
• The artist isn't represented sexually but the people in the background are. (usually dancers male and female or female featuring artists.)
• Everybody is represented sexually. Sort of.
• Nobody is represented sexually.(These are usually the abstract music videos.)

In this video everyone is sexually represented, sort of.



Adam Levine is represented sexually , Rihanna is also being represented sexually but the rest of the band isn't really doing anything sexual at all, we only really see brief shots of them playing instruments.
It's arguable whether Adam Levine is being represented sexually in the video or not, I would say he is more seductive than Pitbull in last weeks post: Pitbull- Wild Wild Love ft. G.R.L

Pitbull looked nervous and despite the fact the women were all posed seductively Pitbull didn't really do anything seductive.
Adam Levine however looks confident around seductive women.

This is a very interesting point, but what do women find attractive in men?
Films, music video's, adverts, magazines etc have proved that men seemed to be more concerned with appearance, anything that improves or emphasises a women's appearance is  usually a good place to start so high heels, revealing tight clothes, make up etc.


Women are slightly different, women look for physical attributes that imply something deeper than the actual appearance.

The purpose of attraction is to get the healthiest mate to make the healthiest offspring that will make it to adulthood.
Primitively speaking men want a healthy looking woman who won't die during pregnancy and women want a man who won't let them or their children die.

One thing that women look for is clothes, I know that sounds weird talking about clothes and how that ties in with primitive attraction but bear with me.

 If a man can dress and look after himself to a standard a women likes she will be more attracted to him.
If we go back and looks at our ancient ancestors good clothes could  imply a healthier active man.
 Maybe cave-woman liked a man who could skin a healthy animal because it proves he is stronger than a cave-man who can't kill and skin a healthy animal.

Also lots of women like brooding men, there are countless articles on the internet that suggest this is the case and not to mention all the grumpy male leads in books and films.
Not overly sure why, maybe cave-women wanted a grumpy, brooding man because he was better at standing up to rial cave-men and their families or something, I don't know.

Adam is well dressed and grumpy looking in this video so according to what behaviour and apparel the internet says women find attractive, then he is indeed dressed and behaving in a way that's appealing to women, in that case I would say that he is being represented sexually.

Here are is an example of Adam Levine being sexy in If I Never See Your face. (to prove my point, clearly.) :

Adam is dressed in shirt, tie and waist coat.

Also take a note of his expression, he is maintain eye contact with the camera.

Eye contact implies confidence and my looking at the camera it's like he's looking at  the audience, also his body language is open so he seems relaxed and confident.

The out stretched arm is inviting.

 Oddly enough according to the internet men like women who are smiley and Rihanna isn't doing a lot of that, but she's moving pretty seductively and dressed pretty scantily so I guess that cancels out the not smiling thing.

Here is a screen shots of Rihanna being sexy too.:

Rihanna is wearing a tight, red, low cut dress.

Tight clothing shows off a persons figure, red is often seen as a sultry colour and the fact it's low cut reveals her cleavage.
Her body language is completely different to Adam's, her arms are close to her body and like in the women Pitbull video she is touching her body (in this case her neck.)
she also makes eye contact with the camera but less directly, this would imply confidence because she is making the effort to look into the camera but it also seems submissive as her body is closed off and she keeps shifting position.

Oddly enough Neither of them crack a smile the entire video.

I would also like to try and explain some other shots from the video:

Adam is seen fixing his tie, this relates to the theory of men's clothing appealing to women, it's clean, smart and probably expensive.

Again he looks sullen.

The blue and black colours could imply either coldness or coolness, depending how you look at it he is either relaxed or angry.

There is lots of sexual tension in this video, At this point Rihanna is the dominate but unlike Pitbull in the previous post Adam is convincingly ignoring her advances whilst maintaining an air of confidence and composure.

If you take a close look at Rihanna's outfit you can see it almost looks like a maid outfit.

Maid's have a submissive job role. (because they are given jobs by their masters.) Her dress is also revealing.

The way she is sitting also seems submissive. Her knees are drawn together and her body is arched forward, compare her body language with Adam's. All that can be seen of Adam in this shot is the back of his thighs and you can see his legs are spread apart implying he is confident and more domineering.  

I think the reason that Adam's legs are shown in the shot if to remind the audience that the pair are reacting to each other, this builds sexual tension.

This shot shows Rihanna with open body language, she is touching his shoulder. He isn't touching her back and he hasn't reached out to her either so it would imply that she is being dominant and he is being submissive.

There is nothing in this shot to indicate that Adam put her head on his lap and he isn't reacting to her but there is nothing to indicate that Rihanna put her head on this lap either.

I'm not sure who the dominant person is, her eye contact with the camera is indirect and she is physically lower than Adam which would point to her being submissive but Adam isn't reacting to her.

Not reacting to her could mean he is playing hard to get and teasing her by not giving in or it could mean he isn't interested in her no matter what she does to him.

This shot show's Rihanna teasing Adam, it would imply that she is sexually dominant as she is in control of the situation.

He however is reacting to it confidently. (He neither resists her advances or takes control of the situation but keeps a stern expression, the stern face implies confidence in the situation.) 

The pair pass the mic to one another forcefully, whilst one of the pair sings the other watches non-nonchalantly.

 The lyrics are quite angry so the actions fit the mood of the song.

The song feature Adam Levine and Rihanna taking it turns to sing verses and the video features Rihanna trying to gain Adam's attention and Adam trying to ignore it. 

It's almost like a fight, will Rihanna give up or will Adam give in?

The microphone could be a metaphor of them taking it in turns resist or seduce the other.

Touching is a good indication of sexual power. Rihanna touching Adam implies that not only does she have the confidence to do so but it also indicates that she is interested in him beacuse she is physically seeking him.

Again Adam is reacting by touching her back or moving toward her but he is looking at her which would mean that he is also interested. Only not as direct.

This could be an indication that he could give in.

Rihanna is posed provocatively on a bed, she is arching her back forward and head back to emphasise her chest. One leg is bent so both legs are visible, poses are used to draw attention to something so this pose draws attention to her chest and legs.

Notice the distance between the two, neither are imposing towards the other.

I would say Rihanna is being submissive in this shot as she is posing on a bed seductively and Adam is posing by the bed sullenly.

I would like to go back to what I said before about attraction. Men like women to dress and act in a way that highlight physical traits such as healthy and fitness.(such as long/healthy hair, healthy weight etc.)

Women usually like men dressed or to act in a way that highlights other traits that imply things like confidence, wealth and strength. Like when women are being sexualised men can also be sexualised by having them not wear an awful of of clothes.

A man could imply confidence by standing his ground or standing up for others, he could prove he is wealthy (or at least able to manage his money to some point) by maintaining his appearance so on and so fourth.

Adam standing by the bed in a suit looking serious would indicate he is behaving in a way that would be sexually appealing to women, you could use this shot to compare how both men and women are used to sell sex.

This is Adam levine's reaction shot to the Rihanna in the previous shot.

His body language is closed off, crossed arms are associated with irritation or displeasure so it would appear he has either rejected Rihanna or is playing hard to get, I would presume it's the latter because he doesn't look disgusted. Just indifferent.   

This completely turns the table from the shot of him glancing at her because now it looks like he is determined to not be seduced.

The body langue is interesting in this shot, Adam stands in the centre of the room, his feet are wide apart and his shoulders are low and relaxed. (although his could be because he's playing the guitar.)

Rihanna is circling him whilst touching his shoulder, there are other men in the video but she never acknowledges them.

Her body is closed off, her knee's her together as she walks and this gives the impression that she is less imposing (because he takes up less space when she stands) she is also standing very close to Adam as she walks.

This could imply that she is being the dominant person as she is initiating the interaction and acting seductively.

this could also imply that she is being sexually submissive as she occupies less space and is trying to attract his attention.

In this shot we go back to a previous scene where Rihanna is resting her head on Adam's lap whilst he just sits there playing hard to get. On first impression it could have seemed like Adam was dominant in this situation, seeing as she is in a physically lower and laying on your back is seen as a more vulnerable position than sitting up right.

But Rihanna is feeling his knee whilst he doesn't react, wouldn't this imply that she is in control? But does this make her dominant in this situation? 

Well. does this remind you of anything?

If you look at their bodies (what you can see of their bodies.)

Rihanna's legs are parted, also he is touching his guitar which implies that she leading the interaction.

Adam's arm hangs by his side, his hand looks relaxed but he isn't doing anything to try to take control of the situation or reject her actions.

In this case Rihanna is Dominant and Adam is submissive.

In this scene Adam walks over to Rihanna on the other side of a huge dining table, he pulls the hair at the nape of her neck. This is the first time he has done something of a sexual nature to her.

The nape of the neck is sensitive so pulling that of the hair should have some kind of reaction.

Now you can see Rihanna reacting to the hair pulling. This bit is a little bit weird because this is where the video ends.

Throughout the video regardless of who ever was dominant (because it was questionable most the time) Adam avoided reacting to Rihanna's sexual advances in a sexual way, in this shot Adam is the person to initiate the interaction.

Unlike Adam Rihanna Reacts to the interaction.

I think the empty space in the shot is to show how Adam has travelled physically across the room, it could be a metaphor of how his mind has changed from appearing uninterested to appearing interested.

The song its's self is about causal sex.

You say I'm not your type but I can make you sway

These lyrics seems to describe a one-sided attraction, Although these are Adams lines and he seemed to be the one who is uninterested but there is definitely a  theme of one-sided attractions.

It would seem that the point of the video was for Rihanna to seduce Adam, I don't think the message was "keep harassing someone until they like you." because I believe he was interested in her all a long and was playing hard to get.

I'm not really sure as to what the message was...

But I think I learnt something pretty cool.

The difference between submissive behaviour and dominating behaviour isn't as black and white as I thought it was.

I thought you had to be one or the other and that the person initiating the interaction was the dominant person  they were the person who was in control of the situation because they had created it.

 I've learnt from the video that both people can be dominant at the same time and that you can be submissively dominant.

allow me to explain:

(I've returned to this shot.)

Just because Rihanna is the one doing the touching does not mean that Adam has to submit.

He is maintaining dominance by resisting and she is maintaining dominance by touching him.

By denying her a reaction he demonstrates he has more power over her by not letting her get what she wants, by touching him she demonstrates power because she has the confidence to do so and that she is persistent.

At the same time they are both submissive because Adam is letting Rihanna touch him and she is struggling to get a reaction so has to keep trying.

So both are submissive and both are dominant.

I think this is important when looking at sexualisation as a whole because people could think that women acting and dressing sexually automatically means that they are being represented as sexual objects and that then makes them weaker because they are submissive to more powerful men when really sexualisation is a lot more complicated than that.

Over sexualised music videos : Wild Wild Love- Pitbull ft G.R.L

Music videos are becoming increasingly sexual, it's a topic that get brought up a lot and it's also a subject that lots of people argue about. A lot.
I've decided to dedicate a series of posts about music videos that are over sexualised and I've started with a Wild Wild Love.

I was sitting at home with a friend watching music video channels when our eyes were exposed to Wild Wild Love by Pitbull ft G.R.L, until that point I haven't actually seen this video properly and having seen it properly it made me cringe a little.
My friend was pretty horrified, maybe I've been desensitised to this kind of thing so I wasn't quite as horrified. (I'm not going to lie I was a slightly horrified.)

I'm sorry, I'm going to be honest but I'm not a Pitbull fan.
I just feel that the songs he features on would be a lot better without him, sorry.
I have to admit he is a pretty good producer however.





Catch the video here:

The video for Wild Wild Love was basically just Pitbull going to the Play Boy mansion to do some business-esque things amongst the bunnies who all posed provocatively the whole video.
This couldn't have been very comfortable or practical for the women because no what they were doing, whether it be walking, sitting or even loitering in the background they all posed.
Most of them just kind of arched their backs and felt their hips, legs, hair, faces whatever. Like so:

Not that it's a problem, they can arch their backs and feel themselves as much as they like and it doesn't effect me.
Besides I like to think that the audience can appreciate what they are doing that to emphasise their assets for the sake of the video, not because that is how the normally stand/sit/walk.

But Pitbill however didn't do anything to try to (er...) emphasise his assets as it were, not that I want him to emphasise anything but I just feel this is a double standard.
he just kind of stood or sat there whilst these women walked around him or sat beside him arching their backs, touching their legs and just generally loitering in the background seductively.

He looked awkward. 

If he was posing with a girl he would keep the same straight face, if he was about to get a little closer to one of the girls he would grin.
He looked more relaxed when he was rapping/singing/talking/whatever.

I think he was intimidated by the bunnies, I guess that's understandable seeing as their job is to make men weak at the knee's. I don't think Pitbull knew quite what to do with himself so he did his best to not get too over excited thus resulting in an awkward I'm-just-going-to-stand-here-and-not-react-to-beautiful-women-or-my-brain-will-explode kind of performance.


I guess you could interpret this differently, you could argue that the women are being treated as sexual objects, the PlayBoy brand is pretty much built on the objectification of women and whether you see it as women using their bodies to impress men and make money or as men using these women's appearance to earn money these women are still used as sexual objects.

This video could strengthen the idea that women only exist to please men, I however stand by the belief that Pitbull, Pitbull's manager or the video's director was a feeling little perverted and just wanted to go to The PlayBoy Mansion and that was probably no deeper meaning to the video.
