ColdplayingfromKansas Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 ^ That's exactly my problem. It doesn't seem like it's a Coldplay video. Pick any bum up off the street and tell them to direct a music video and you (mostly likely) will get a video like Charlie Brown's. It's not original (except for perhaps the neon paint and Xylobands) and there's nothing really special about it. /rant over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberry Swinger Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 It's not that they made a bad video or wrote a bad song, it's the direction they're taking. They're doing what they think will get them the most publicity. Which is fine if that's what they want. But it's not I want from my favorite band. If it continues then they will not be my favorite band anymore. this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeddingDom Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 ETIAW and Paradise videos are amazing, but this one is a disappointment to me .... I guess I was expecting something less colorful. Still love Charlie Brown :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CupitorVeritatis Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Not gonna lie...worst Coldplay video ever. Even the Yellow video was better. I do not think of people makking out when I listen to CB. Paradise and ETIAW were amazing. This was crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider-Man Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 it's all personal opinion. I respect that. But people have to accept that artists change their musical style. Playing the same kind of music is rather, frankly boring. Pushing your musical boundaries can be hard but rewarding. Just had to get this off. No disrespect towards anyone.

I do not think of people makking out when I listen to CB. Paradise and ETIAW were amazing. This was crap. If I keep seeing the video for Charlie Brown I am gonna start hating the song. Just like I learned to ... tolerate Paradise , the song , after seeing that awesome video. it's all personal opinion. I respect that.

Mrk Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Seriously, what's wrong with the studio version video? I really liked it and I think it's way better than the Paradise one (I have the weird feeling that they're trolling us during that video :\ ) and there's only one scene in it that I didn't like but it's ok. This video is not as great as ETIAW or Strawberry Swing but it's very good, IMO P.S. No Coldplay video will ever reach (I hope) the ugliness of The Hardest Part :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention Coldplay's videos have evolved plenty. But this has not really been a positive one. Paradise was lighthearted fun done in a really cool way, ETIAW was aesthetically very tight......Charlie Brown is just...bland for what it is. Maybe we're supposed to take it as a sensory overload thing? (think U2 during Zooropa). But that's not what the song means to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coeurli Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 ^Madonna's only 53, and, you have to admit she had some weakness in her legs at some moments during the performance. The woman from THP video was like 84 or something, so 30 years older, and could do that acrobatic dance/I don't know what it's called. More impressive, imo :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawr Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 This video annoys me. I think its because of the glorification of youth and rebellion, or maybe it's because half of it was a generic "nightclub" video. I think the whole issue of youth, rebellion and freedom could have come across a little better. Coldplay said they were inspired by the White Rose Movement which would have been a good premise. A truly oppressive environment where young people got together and fought against it in creative ways. But instead we were left with a group of teenagers who steal someone's car and trash it and then dance in a club. Don't see how that should be an appealing theme and I don't see the connection between cartoon rhetoric with theft and vandalism. It seemed like the wrong type of thing to glorify. what i really dislike about the charlie brown video, is the 2 homosexuality fairly quick scenes toward the end of the video. You're just the worst type of person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
