When I saw the trailer for Poor Things I immediately was reminded of Emma Stone in this video.

[@weiw7451]

This totally reminds me of Emma Stone's performance in "Poor Things." Just finished the movie and had to come back to rewatch this. So much fun!!

[@enriquedelayeurrea3451]

Yorgos Lanthimos watched this video and said “I like it, let’s play this in reverse and make this into a two hour and a half feature film” and so Poor Things was created

[@hugopsousa]

Anna as Emma, winner of the 2024 Best Actress Oscar. Fantastic as Anna, fantastic as Bella, and fantastic as Emma.

[@skoddowl4341]

fantastic as Mia as well

[@alissa379]

I was watching poor things and the scene where she's wandering around the cruise ship made me think of this music video again, so glad I found it!

[@bestekaraca2450]

that piano scene is incredable she looks like possesed so talented actor

[@bennyton2560]

Freaking love it

[@kmaz8329]

Beste Karaca no care about anybody die go.away little nemo on HBO.a show about how I'm.alone

[@frankinsaneandmyrrh1202]

I never realized how uniquely awesome Emma's facial expressions are until now.

[@joannaking8087]

she a gem.

[@aimeebeardsley]

I worked aboard the ship when they filmed this. It was amazing to see it in live in action. Emma is so talented!!!

[@linhdo4393]

watching the Poor Things scene where she danced reminded me to come back to this music video

[@Snagabott]

I just can't see her with sunglasses without thinking "ooh burn".

[@safhirarovida8850]

[@Misosoup99]

[@MonetStargazer]

I came here for Emma Stone, but left with smile on my face and a better taste in music.

[@mokhira7561]

Exactly ❤️

[@girldetective18]

Feeling like this video was partly how Stone got into La La Land.

[@brianiboy7769]

this video's costume can be easily used to the movie

[@aryll9610]

I haven't seen this anywhere in the comments, but my first thought was that "Anna" was supposed to be a prostitute - especially when she was walking down the hallway and men were handing her money from their rooms. Only their bare limbs are sticking out of their rooms, implying they are naked. There are no other women on this boat, either. At the beginning, Anna looks sad as she stands in her room alone, then puts on a big smile as she exits into the hall, putting on her "work face." You also notice her getting crazier as the video progresses. Could the song be about the dark path that Anna takes to achieve wealth, slowly driving her to insanity? The lyrics point to this too: "Hey, little Anna, what's the move? I can't believe the things you do. What's gonna be the price we pay for the money?" I feel like the song asks the question: Where is the line between wealth-seeking, and insanity? How far down the rabbit hole will we venture to achieve riches? Does anyone agree?

[@velvet1965]

+Aryll9 i agree you're adept at pointing out incredibly obvious metaphors in essay form on a youtube comment section. that said, killer video.

[@aryll9610]

+velvet1965 If you're having a bad day, please deal with it in a way more productive than making anonymous rude comments on the internet.

[@sabrinaartois-davis2820]

+Aryll9 she's supposed to be a Ghost on the ship. BTW Emma is one of my good friends :)

[@xquavius]

Can you take DE: American Literature 2 class with me? lol

[@sabrinaartois-davis2820]

You can google it. Or I can show you the article I saw this from. Emma is playing a ghost

[@conorwade2535]

There should be a sequel song called "Emma" and the music video stars Anna Kendrick.

[@METALHEADCHIVA]

Haha, epic dude!

[@ikouzolele]

...or Anna Faris! :D

[@rheabruen]

OH MY GOD

[@johnjavier36866]

haha

[@Sulbalicious]

Conor Wade what a perfect comment

[@JohnSmith-zf1lq]

I absolutely loved this. The dancing was perfect for the song.

[@JohnSmith-zf1lq]

I should be doing a MATLAB project, but this is just too good.

[@paul8926]

So, this was deleted from La La Land?

[@TheGirlyBomb]

Emma shows more emotion in 4:05 minutes than I have in my entire life wtf

[@owl3170]

i mean how can someone be so beautiful its unreal

[@anilanair4255]

I just can't get this song out of my head; esp the 'money' part

[@hannahkendzel873]

Nothing more properly feels like Emma's personality than in this video

[@davidinhartford]

That looked like a fun video to make! How can you not want to visit the Queen Mary in Long Beach after seeing this?

[@justineboissier6315]

Beautiful, classy, talented, funny, inspiring, AND she keeps her clothes on. The world needed her.

[@domoti5628]

[@vabylla]

thank you!!

[@lindanicolausson6148]

yes the direction is amazing but the way that this was shot is amazing and so smooth!

[@rumham7947]

wasn't a fan at first, but I always found myself coming back here and I'm kind of loving it

[@nick2131]

Finally found it! The bum bu bum bum bu bu bum bum bum song. Also, can we clone Emma stone? Because I would buy a few.

[@ResaJoan]

Charles Lin - I'm not sure there is a legal precedent for the buying of white people in America, even for women, what with all those radical feminists. But if the right to own another human is something you're willing to fight for, now seems like a good time to bring it up. You might even find backing on the national political stage.

[@TheVampB]

You wish. Emma Stone is definitely going to be one of the luxury models. Supply and demand buddy. They can't clone her fast enough.

[@jojochaynel9202]

god

[@yodnass]

It's like the love child of Michel Gondry( Let forever be video) and Wes Andeson's (Life Aquatic) films with Emma Stone and an Arcade Fire soundtrack. #awsome

[@alikarita]

+sandoy manalastas i don't really the Michel Gondry but definitely Wes Anderson's style

Emma Stone. Is there an actress in Hollywood who can act this crazy, (sometimes) be this spooky, and stay this lovely at the same time ? The video is awesome. There should be a 10 minutes version.

[@stxfdt1240]

I don't want to offend you in any way but she is kinda annoying.

[@SCharlesDennicon]

This is simultaneously the creepiest and best thing I’ve ever seen. I’m mesmerised. Emma can do no wrong
