Marry The Night: It's Not that I've been Dishonest, It's Just that I Loathe Reality.

Three Albums, 13 VMAS and 5 Grammys later, Lady Gaga reminds us again that she's the top pop star in the world with her new video for "Marry The Night." In the 14 minute autobiographical mini-film, she managed to fit complex, mind-twisting, inspirational and disturbing all into one; the result is nothing but beautiful. Perfect comes in the form of BeDazzlers, exploding cars, foot-tall pointe shoes and nurses with great asses in Calvin Klein. Enough said.

The video starts with Gaga being rolled into a psychiatric ward, which we've seen in the Prelude Pathétique a few weeks ago. She's brown-hair and looks miserable, despite wearing next season's Calvin Klein and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. There, she spoke of the infamous line: "It's not that I've been dishonest, it's just that I loathe reality." Gaga constantly refer to her struggle between reality and fantasy in an artistic way, so the whole "Marry The Night" mini-film is basically dedicated to her struggles and the decision to dedicate her life to her career. Although many people say the nurse who snatches the cigarette out of her hand is the now-Gaga, the last time I checked Gaga doesn't look like a 50 year-old. 

And then we came to the ballerina scene where she's... um... dancing like a ballerina. It's exactly like Nina Sawyers in Black Swan minus the psychology struggle, more of the "I want to be perfect" thing. In reality, this was when Gaga was signed onto Def Jam, her first recording label and she didn't want to mess up her musical career. The camera then fades away, and Gaga was brought back to her apartment. So she was, you know, just chilling on her bed naked and got the call that she's dropped. French subtitles appear on the screen as Gaga, her eyes full of tears, tried to convince them that she's an artist. Then she did all these thing people do when they are depressed, like covering her tits with a tampon and spilling honey cereals all over herself. I don't think the scene happened after the clinic scene, since it makes more sense if she's admit into the clinic after she was dropped from the label.

With her newly-dyed blonde hair and looking a lot like Madonna, Gaga went inside a school that looks like Convent of Sacred Hearts as her back-up dancers look down at her with disgust. The overall effect is that you can really feel how people don't give her a chance and label her as an outsider. It's actually one of my favourite parts cause, you know, it never hurts to have some BeDazzlers. Somehow, she managed to be in a field full of burning cars(is there such thing as a car dumpster?), hanging upside down with her Louboutins sticking out. Gaga put in the cassette tape, and Marry The Night start playing. Just when you thought Alejandro and Telephone took long enough start, but I think the slow beginning builds up the suspense around the video.

Then shit finally got real when she starts dancing. This dance scene is like the one in Born This Way, except she's in a super-tight denim bustier and dancing in a studio of some sort. I would say this is literally the best scene in the video, but then again, very scene in the video is my favourite scene so I should just shut up right now. When the ballet dancer Dina fall down and Gaga helps her back up, it's the message of Marry The Night - "I won't give up on my life." Alternating between this dancing scene and the car-burning scene, it is Gaga's struggle to stay on top of her game. The Michael Jackson-esque scene(hello? Thriller?) was filmed at the 42nd Street subway station with Gaga in a leather bodysuit and blue lipstick. The scene is out of place and at an odd position nevertheless, but you can tell how important it means to Gaga because she was taken on by Interscopes and, here she is today. In between this street dancing scene and the ending, there's snaps of Gaga moving to Broadway with her piano, throwing up her chicken salad in the toilet and all the other details.  At the end, Gaga is floating in midair and surrounded by flames wearing Paco Rabanne, which was the same designer she wore to the EMAs.

What do you think of the "Marry The Night" video? Yay or nay? What's your favourite scene?
