War Child
i have always thought that this video was one of THE best music videos, or any piece of video art for that matter, of all-time.
i remember when i first saw it back in 1993, and thinking... 'fucking christ, man... this band really has that magic to morph into anything.. and yet not lose themselves or their depth in the process, and its part of their genius...', and also being a little shocked at the MacPhisto character, but quickly having it grow on me as one of my absolute favorites of all-time.
this video is just too great for words. but many people i know, even U2 fans, don't like it much. WHY????? its.. perfect. weird and perfect. weirdly perfect.
and as for bono wishing it was in color... hell, its better in black and white. it would lose that atmosphere that it has if it were in color. and i am SO glad they decided to use it.. after some doubt.
some of the best work i have ever seen. beautiful, too.
