@AKA Twiglets good sir, apologize for my ignorance. im not educated with art history and such so i don't really know what makes a painting to be considered as a renaissance art. i just get the vibes man 😌👌 lol. anyways the renaissance art revolves around the catholic religion right?? does it have to be?? im genuinely curious on this one. the lighting and colors of the video just reminds me of the old paintings from europe.

[@hunter5w6]

a lot of people are picking sides on the whole montero “copying” thing but I think it’s really interesting to examine how they use the same imagery (teasing heaven then falling to hell) and similar visuals to portray such different meanings. like this video (along with the song ofc) is sad and intimate. it feels almost voyeuristic to watch, and relies on the audiences understanding of the traditional concepts of heaven and hell to symbolize and portray emotions. montero is about reclaiming the concept of hell, playing with that which is used to punish and control people. it leans into campy and is much more fun and light. I think they’re both really interesting, and their similarities actually help to juxtapose their deeper meanings

[@sapnag8003]

[@crylokrebs9552]

[@00inwiththenew00]

I think it's funny for either of them to pretend like the idea of falling from heaven to hell is anything unique or groundbreaking.

[@jadaalston3280]

@@00inwiththenew00 I don’t think they think that. I think it’s the concept of a broken record. The concept is repeated but nothing is being done to fix it. So people will continue to sing the same sad song every time.

[@hunter5w6]

@@00inwiththenew00 I don’t think either of them were going for groundbreaking though (maybe visually bc music videos don’t always have such high production value) but they both rely on the audience recognizing that symbolism, so it has to be in some way or another pretty obvious, especially when you only have ~3 minutes to tell a story

Twigs was attacked by Kristen Stewart fans, not Rob's fans. His ex has crazy fans who attack any woman he gets near, even his co-stars who he's never dated. There is no beef between Rob and Twigs. Rob says, "I''m on good terms with all my exes," and Twigs did a podcast with Julia Fox this year, 2023, where she said Rob is a sweet person and also Cellophane isn't about him. She said fans jump to a lot of wrong conclusions.

[@djhagrid300]

​@a.madison9625 Cellophane is absolutely about her separation from Rob. It was made right after. The confusion is that the pain comes from Rob. It came from having a public relationship as a celebrity. Hence, the title of the song: "Cellophane." Their relationship is "all wrapped up in cellophane..." A thin, see-through plastic. People can analyze it and scrutinize because a lot of it is public.

[@twilliams5596]

In my opinion, the video is about FKA twigs being in a relationship and her significant other not being able to see that others were trying to tear them apart. Then at the end of the song, if you notice she is so weak from the battle that she can barely utter these very telling words... “They’re waiting, they’re watching us, they’re hating, they’re hoping I’m not enough”. The point is, he allowed outsiders to attack and destroy a relationship between him and an angel. He fed her to the wolves (the haters), allowing them to sully and literally throw dirt on her. I saw this as her expressing her disappointment in her lover allowing her to fight and struggle for their love all on her own. Very sad and too familiar. I feel you Twigs.

[@twigs3410]

It’s like…like…OHMYGOD…NON-MAINSTREAM MUSIC EXIST

[@Banana_brainie]

Ok here's my interpretation. She comes out onto a stage to dance wearing a traditionally sexy/beautiful outfit, perfect curls, and makeup (unusual for Twigs who is usually dressed very much in her own unconventional style). That's because in a way, Twigs is giving the public the image exactly what they wanted from her this entire time: a perfect, feminine beauty that is there to give and entertain, just like the song's lyrics (they want to see us). Her past relationship was a highly publicized and scrutinized, and she's essentially putting on a show for everyone because that's what the media, papparazzi, online expected her to be. hence the pole dancing as a metaphor for putting on a provocative, alluring show for the public eye. Then, as the pole begins to warp, she tries harder and harder to keep up with it... I think the robot that comes up is her true self, odd, offbeat, and not so 'perfect' When she stomps into it to get rid of it, she loses balance and falls downwards. There you can see an arm trying to hold her (presumably her ex-lover) but she keeps falling and falling until she lands into a pit of mud. The word cellophane to me implies a packaged good, like sweets or chocolate, meant to be consumed. Celebrity relationships are a lot like that too - the line between personal and public is so distorted and their actual private life becomes a commodity to be consumed. I think that the pit of mud and the women crawling towards her are wearing masks to represent the vile anonymous online hate Twigs received. Finally, they managed to pull her down to their level, reducing her to the color of her skin aka the brown clay (her being a woman of color was a big reason behind the majority of her online abuse) Note their eye makeup is green too, like the color of envy. I love that she uses the masks to symbolize the deceitful nature of anonymity over the Internet... I feel like Twigs tried really really hard in her relationship despite all the eyes that were on her, but in the end she just could not become the puppet that the public eye wanted her to be for them. Eventually, this tore apart at her relationship and she had to let go and choose herself over her partner. It's a heartbreaking and intensely vulnerable song and video... oh also if you read this far you get a cookie

[@anonnomys7680]

beautiful interpretation, thank u

[@drama_rama_]

i kind of see this as a metaphor for not only love but work, passions, everything one gives their heart and soul for. once you reach the top you can have the fame, the applause, and the love of everyone around you, but once you reach your climax you have to fall somewhere. (you can fight it, but you'll fall anyways). it's inevitable. what twigs is showing us is that you have to accept this fall no matter what. falling is just what one needs - what we all need. you fall right into place and you start over again. you climb and you fall and you climb again. its an acceptance of fault... mistakes... doing your best and still ending up where you started. but its beautiful. its life. and no matter what, you keep going again.
