The Killers Mr Brightside video is a very strange music video that plays with the emotions of the lead singer, it seems to evolve around him and we see through his eyes what hes seeing, with his brain being tortured due to his feelings for the girl in blonde in the music video.
The music video shows a performance and a story simultaneously mixed together, to make us feel apart of it and for us to have an emotional bond with the artist rather than just watching them perform without any story line being played out.
In my opinion the music video reminds me of the movie Moulin rouge in a way due to the way they are both portrayed also the colours are quite similar, but the setting is definitely similar. shown below
There are scenes in this music video to show sparks of interest between the two main characters, such as when they are standing on the balcony fireworks can be seen this connotes a spark between them and love. The men just sitting around being mesmerized by the women connote that they see the woman purely as a object of beauty rather than dancers or entertainers. The storyline transfers into the future to make us feel a connection between the two characters, but all in all the music video isn't very strong and isn't extremely powerful as the band is already well known and the song on its on already has a strong sense about it so adding them together is a good mixture and lets the audience have both good senses from visual effects and hearing from the song itself.
