Milla Jovovich - The Gentleman Who Fell (Lisa Bonet's rejected version)

[@38tales]

I always thought this was a better video than the other version.

[@NightRavvvven]

I love the other version, it really gives me the 1990s gothic vibe

[@selinaogorman8380]

Such a great song by Milla holds up well classic!

[@TheNaughtyBarberess]

She wrote this song @15. Wish she had done more music. Always loved this.

[@kntrlr]

I always preferred this version. Just feels more in tune with the song. But let's be honest, anything with MJ in it is going to be beautiful at the least. One of the great beauties of my lifetime.

[@robinhood1016]

She wrote this herself when she was like 15!

[@joseph8365]

Before its time here. Her music would of made a big impact today. The passion in this wee band brilliant xo

[@yup3398]

Thanks for uploading. I haven't seen this original since they swapped it and I much preferred this one!

[@saraliza3137]

I don't know that I've ever gotten to see this one! I wish they had the full introduction from the beginning of the song because it's beautiful and and it's such a beautiful lead-in. It's still lovely here but the full intro is gorgeous! It makes me think of walking through beautiful primavera, spring in full bloom with butterflies and flowers everywhere.....

[@MissRadi0active]

I love her voice and how talented she is in everything she does. One of my favorite songs she does is with Maynard James Keenan in Puscifer. The song is called "The Mission" and I love the attitude she brings to it. Highly recommend to check it out. 🖤

I saw Milla in Sacramento at a radio festival at SacState. Beck and the Church were there too. Pretty fun that I got to talk to her and Marty Willson Piper.

[@LavenderScented]

She should've went with this version... Lisa Bonet knew what she was doing with the visuals and concepts.

[@drliz6783]

Milla didn't like it though. The other video is more artistic and sticks with you. I hadn't seen it in 20 years but I still remembered it. If she went with this one I wouldn't have.

[@MooseCall]

This is the one we saw in Canada, and although I prefer the other version, I never would have forgotten this song, BECAUSE of the song. It's the song I remember, much more than the video.

Ha! This is a song about butterflies alright but not the kind you mention! It's about the Monarch butterfly in MK Ultra (mind control program brought to USA back in late 40's by Germans post WW2) plus much more...see my full analysis below to Stefon Karras if you're really interested...it is a beautiful song but when you realize what it's really about, you get turned off to it - at least I did.

[@stefonkarras2872]

What is this song talks about??? I dont get it... 🤔🤔🤔

[@kaitlynkarol4600]

Stefon Karras - Are you ready for this answer? Sorry for this essay (follow it in 3 parts & I don't have a blog to send you to but no one likes to risk following links on YT like that anyway) but you're asking a loaded Q and so the reply is really loaded too and that's not me, it's just the truth of how a lot is going on here/ as there is much to this song and it's layered in many ways but you really seem curious, so here goes but don't call me a conspr. theorist later b/c I have studied/ researched many topics on this and also grew up around Luciferians & Satanists, & have had family and friends who came out of the Masons to reveal certain secrets. Plus, one must know about MK Ultra to understand this song....The mind control program that goes under name Project Monarch and was brought to USA from Germany post WW2 - called 'Project Paperclip' used on many Americans by the CIA was literally used on many of our people - all the most vulnerable in our society - college kids, mentally ill folks, military personnel, prisoners, etc - basically, all SLAVES. There is a deeper darker kind of slavery than just what they keep telling us over and over about the black slaves in the 1800's - they use that story as way of distracting us from the OTHER SLAVERY that goes on w/ many other ppl - not just one demographic or target group... Also, there is another video Mila J did to this song (the remastered version) and that link has many other symbols that when you add them to this one, you can see how all the dots connect to tell the full story. Here is that link so watch that one too so you can follow my notes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGPFfmaQhMqmha8 First, I'll unpack this video here I'm replying to you on (& then will unpack the other vid below) - 1 - the hallway where she's bound and gagged - this shows how they take our voice away. This is a form of censorship and other means of controlling you. This can also signal to keep secrets. It can also imply S&M - she is being seduced into darkness...so whether it means that literally or not, the implication is there - esp when you connect that to all the other symbolism of all both videos... 2 - the mummy wrap w/ the white cloth: a) they are 'covering up' the truth and the secret about what they're doing to her; b) It also shows how white is color of purity and they want to show a pure innocence to the outside world so we all are easily deceived by the 'appearance' of goodness when that is just a veneer that hides the pain of this dark secret. There's more to this image: c) it also shows how this signifies the protective casing of the caterpillar's cocoon b4 it becomes a butterfly b/c she gets fully wrapped up from head to toe, and then lays on floor. This is her birthing into her new life/ her 'initiation rite'. B4 she can fly and become one of them, she must go through the proper stages, etc. 3- The color white in contrast to the black is also a sign of duality that the Freemasons use in their belief that their sins/ mistakes can be cleansed away by charity and white-washing the truth too - covering it all up by playing innocent games. In the lyircs, she sings, 'feeling sugared skin' - a denotion to the sweetness of exchanging her old life for a sweeter one where she gets to be taken care of (regressing to her childhood - going back into her baby skin - altered identity, etc) where we see her w/ the little girl later in the bed....she is birthing her infantile self back to life to be dependent on them. They want control and if we are infantized and regress into a childhood mentality, of course, they can have control of anyone like that b/c a mature responsible, 'awake' adult cannot be controlled. 4 - the many shots of her in bed also shows how she goes back to sleep - regression into the subconscious state/ dream state, etc and also shows the place where we have sex and here she is being distracted her by this man who is holding her in a way that the lyrics say she doesn't like/ she is confused - "I don't know how to love you/ I don't know how to trust you', etc.... this implies many things but there is an over-sexualizing of her & in mind control, this is another trick b/c our vices and sexual self can be very distracting and if placed in the wrong arms, can be very darkly seductive pulling us away from the truth and from balance b/c when they 'turn' you into one of them, you morph into a radical - so kiss balance and moderation/ centrism goodbye! 5 - the shots of leaves - she is covered by autumn leaves but that is another pun on 'fall' b/c she is falling into danger and Lucifer fell once from heaven/ man's fall after that/ also it means that this is a season b4 winter which prefaces that she is dying - her soul is dying b/c winter is cold and the death of all nature happens at that time. So her 'natural' alive, awake self is dying and she is being reborn into a new life where she will have an altered identity and will become a Monarch slave. Now for the other video you must watch to get the full story - here is that analysis: The all-seeing eyes, the black-hooded guy in cape w/ mirrored face standing over her bed is referencing MK Ultra as the bed shows where she will sleep later - going down the black hole into her subconscious mind where she will be re-programmed to believe in different things so she can be easier controlled, and the mirror on his face represents the new reflections of herself she will see later w/ her new altar ego they build for you in these mind control programs... Her jerking/twitching around in her bed in the other shot would illustrate her conflict w/ the trauma-based mind control b/c it splits your mind/ creates dissociation/ makes you disoriented/ discombobulated/ etc; also can denote confusion b/c it seems like a dream/ very surreal....this also shows how she is about to cross the threshold to be initiated to the other world - the shot where she stands in the doorway on threshold looking confused at the black-caped man over her bed would demonstrate that point. The lyrics say 'life for life' and that would be saying, 'making a trade - exchanging my old life for my new one' or 'sacrificing my soul to live the life of the rich/ famous', etc - the old Greek story of the Faustian bargain. She is dressed in white and that implies her wedding dress to marry Lucifer - in other words - to join forces w/ the evil handlers of her career or at least the fictional character she plays in the video. There is so much here as far as rich symbolism that is paying homage to Lucifer and the Masons are Luciferians - the top of the ladder is for sure. Her climbing the stairs (the 'ladder' to success') in that shot can represent this. Also, the biggest sign of all is the black bird that falls from sky - is reference to Lucifer's fall from heaven. The little birds also can denote his demons b/c when he took his fall, he was thrown out w/ 33 and 1/3 of his angels - the fallen angels or demons, etc...this is part of why Masons have to reach 33rd degree to be the Masterful ones, so she is about to join the cult (at least in this story of the song). The other lyrics that say 'I touch your finger, Know your darkness, Your passion takes its' toll' refers to the initiation rights of blood-letting (the finger gets pricked for blood in an oath/ ritual) and of course, the rest of that is pretty clear: she knows his DARKNESS, and his passion takes its toll.

[@kaitlynkarol4600]

Stefon Karras - Part 2 (final part of my analysis - and only 2 parts - sorry I said 3 )! (b/c YT won't post this all in one piece): There are images of her eyes too that tell you more: in several shots, we see her eyes' whites only and other shots where she looks possessed - this shows the initiation was complete b/c the demonic energy is inside now; it's the light that is from the 'illuminated ones' - aka, 'the shining'. She looks evil but she has been corrupted. In MK Ultra, they actually do psycho surgery in some of their methods where they alter your brain by operating on your frontal cortex lobe & this weakens your orbital nerves on the one eye they go in to. This matches the all-seeing eyes we see all over the place in pop culture - aka, 'the eye of Set' (go research Greek story to see what I mean here)....They want you in a hypnagogic state - half-asleep, half-awake, - basically off balance. So - in several shots, we see her one eye being blinded - the one image of her face dissolving into the sunflower (time stamp at 57-58 secs) shows how she is dissolving into the Luciferian world b/c the SUNflower is a universal symbol of Lucifer as it represents the 'King of the Sun' - Lucifer is often called this name (one of his many names). This flower is in so many videos and movies - esp horror movies and music vids. My Q is - why can't these directors & producers use other flowers when there are tons of flowers to choose from? I think It's b/c they want to upstage/ hijack the art/ the narrative to push their own agendas. We'd have to be fully retarded not to see this at this point in history. This is 2020 now, so let's get real here. And no, none of this is conspiracy theory at this juncture b/c it's been revealed in so many ways in the last year that higher powers in the establishment are admitting much of this insanity and trying to encourage us to embrace it now as in-your-face propaganda whereas before, it was subtle and used in subtext as it was here in this old video from the 90's. Before the 57 secs mark, at around 55 secs in, she sings 'A voice is speaking/ He's the prophet/ Blinded by the light' where she enters a field of sunflowers - so in essence, a field of evil and she is blinded by the illumination of the illuminated ones/ Lucifer's sun and light is that bright/ glaringly bright and hot as the temp of hell is! Did this voice of this prophet tell her to join them in their séance? I know about initiations/ seances where they also have sunflowers all around them in their 'perfect circles' & ceremonies. Not everyone practices witchcraft and Luciferianism the same way b/c there are so many sub-divisions & denominations of these beliefs but the overall message is the same about control and communism/ and there are many branches that connect back to the same tree that leads to the destruction of a person's independence. The other reference to hell is the fireworks in the sky. This is a pun-play on words. It seems to be saying, ''fire works' as in the word 'works' acting as a verb here too as well as a noun. Many double entendres here. In the breakdown of that, you could say 'hell works for us' as the devil works for you too and brings you all the $$ and fame you could ever want if you just cross over onto his side or run naked in his sunflower-filled fields. Like Marilyn Monroe said, "Hollywood is the place that'll pay you Lucifer's image as sugar-coated here/ white-washed by calling him a 'gentleman' - that is their clever cover-up to hide the real meaning or at least its parallel meaning b/c this song def can also be interpreted to have two meanings - an actual human man she is trying to have a relationship w/ but the spirit of Lucifer is in every frame and lyrics are so obvious too. "The gentleman who fell before the court' can also be interpreted to be how Lucifer falls before us to plead his case of innocence as well as his great 'enLIGHTenment' but he is a very coy, clever serpent - Kundalini/ snake who helped to bring about the other fall - of mankind. (side note: I am not religious either - just spiritually tuned in you could say). How many more music vids do we have to see of the dark bird falling from the sky to not realize this is the record co's way of pledging their allegiance to their Lord & 'savior'? (Billie Ellish recent video 'All the good goods go to hell' shows this exact imagery). No wonder she won so many awards at the Grammys! ha! It's so UNORIGINAL and CLICHE-RIDDEN too w/ all the same images being used and cloned over & over and that is what also proves how ludicrous all this crap is - but how is that shocking when Lucifer was the ultimate plagiarist who tried to steal God's kingdom and run it his way and why he was thrown out of heaven in the first place. This story always goes back to that -' Paradise Lost' is the name of this evil game... SO old of a story and every generation pushes itself against the cog. diss. grain to deny this is even going on. Anything to 'fit in' or to be famous or/and rich. Desperate people w/ no core identity of their own. My heart breaks for these next generations coming up who will have no history as all the algorithms get rewritten and the beastly A.I. creeps in more over time. As the song says, "A heart is breaking/ I can hear it/ Dropped when gone beyond my sight"....yes, that is exactly my sentiment I have about this song now that I really see what it's saying. Except w/ one edit: "hearts" PLURAL will be breaking one day when they realize how they've allowed themselves to be socially engineered & their tacit consent leads them astray... There's more I could cover but it's too much info to write here & I just hit quickie highlights as it is. Research this if you already haven't and you will see what I mean. Hope that answers your Q - let me know if you have anymore Qs or insights of your own. If you look at many other music videos (& movies) , you will see OBVIOUS patterns emerge. And if you know about all these other topics, you can spot this evil BS right off the jump! It's a shame b/c I love the sonic part of the music but when you see how the lyrics play out to tell the deeper truth of the real story, it's very disappointing,so it's not just 'video killed the radio star' - it's more like, 'Lucifer kills the beauty of music'! And many of the artists LET the record labels turn them into slaves!
