Ever is overall Pipiloti

[@dabdabthethird2410]

I think that this may have something to do with female rage. Some,thing about the overly polite smiles, feminine clothing and flowery weapon makes me think of how women’s rage is still shown as something non threatening, inconsequential, and attractive in some way and that women as a whole are forced into being polite sweet and cheerful no matter what(this is obviously changing in some places now). The overall vibe makes me think of the 50/70’s which would add onto this theory

[@athousandcandles]

everyone who doubts that Beyonce has stolen the creative work from the visuals of this needs to go and look up international copyright law in relation to creative works/intellectual property. It's not just that there's a woman walking around smashing cars, but the copying includes the slow motion, the flowing dress, the look of glee on the woman's face, the people walking around very obviously seeing but not intervening in the situation. It makes all the same implications with the same visual and emotive tools. The only way Beyonce might get away with it is because she is wearing a different coloured dress, looks different herself, and has different audio to go with it.

[@athousandcandles]

+CClaessens and the reason it isn't fair in this situation is that Beyonce is a BIG TIME artist who can make MILLIONS from this scene- without acknowledging the actual creator of the idea. It's not as if she changed it significantly- only minutely. Taking not just the idea, but the whole execution of the idea. That's stealing.

Beautiful, dreamy video. As distracting as these thoughts are... I can't help but think about the logistics of this.

​@@mlh209 How does she expose their work to the world? Did she tell the world about her influences? I realized this reference only from a vague memory of watching the original in art school. It was difficult to find when you don't know the name of it and there are only a few articles about it (from people who saw the connection themselves - not because they were informed by someone connected to Beyoncé). If she wanted to reference and pay homage to these artists she should be talking about them also.

[@mlh209]

People are so obsessed that they do the research and get it on the internet within an hour of the album hitting. Besides whenever she rightfully uses someone’s work no one cares to look more into that person, but when there’s controversy she and the artist get an endless stream of publicity. These artists are fine, they’re being paid and receiving recognition they wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.

Imitation is not the highest form of flattery, its annoying.

[@pepecrunch]

anthill927 there are soooooooo many books I could list that are similar to each other. plot, climax, characters, etc. many writers come up with ideas by using or being inspired by other writers. it's a crime when they copy and paste word for word like they did with Blurred Lines, but Beyonce took the idea of smashing cars and completely changed it. She didn't wear the same outfit or was in the same city or etc. she just took the idea of smashing cars and connected with her own ideas/interpretation. There are many videos similar to this and I'm pretty sure the person behind this video got inspired by another.
