02:16

02:19

the entire room we realized well gravity

02:21

isn't working too well here and we have

02:23

a bathtub on the ceiling I actually

02:26

02:30

black I guess you could feed the

02:32

delusional rep TV clouds there but the

02:34

door opens and we have this man walked

02:36

in all dressed in full medical attire

02:39

handing her some pills now this is a

02:41

direct reference to the lyrics of the

02:46

song with the miracle move on drug but I

02:49

want people to notice the numbers on

02:51

this

02:53

bottle yep 12389 that's Taylor's

02:57

03:10

supposed to make her forget him and she

03:12

takes the pill and goes to the mirror

03:14

revealing her

03:19

tattoos or actually as we would find out

03:21

post Malone's tattoos and I mean the

03:23

03:25

if she had hidden the post Malone reveal

03:27

and shocked us all with that I want to

03:30

kill her she then walks over to her work

03:33

and I guess that's why she took the

03:35

forgetting pill so she could work and

03:37

this outfit was one kind of hunger

03:40

gamesy but also very 1830s and kind of

03:43

like my tears or CET aist T

03:46

[Music]

03:49

dress remember there was a song called I

03:51

hated here from the Anthology that

03:54

references the

03:55

1830s i' the

03:57

1830s love this aesthetic though and Tor

04:01

gets to work on the typewriter and I

04:03

04:06

in the word

04:08

[Music]

04:11

ruining like why is there a blank space

04:13

well she does have a song called blank

04:15

space I guess but it's an interesting

04:16

typo right here I will say throughout

04:19

the scene they are facing each other and

04:22

emitting this weird Airy stuff from

04:24

their typewriters and well they are

04:26

contrasting colors I'm not exactly sure

04:28

what is going on here but I think it's

04:30

to symbolize The Duality of roles they

04:32

have within this

04:36

song also love these people dressed in

04:39

black incognito mode showing you how the

04:42

torture post department is indeed a

04:44

dystopian

04:49

place we then head to this very Eternal

04:52

Sunshine of a Spotless Mind

04:57

scene and I actually haven't seen that

04:59

movie but kind of gave that Vibe and we

05:01

can see Taylor is reading The Story of

05:06

Us silence L love speak now references

05:12

making their way into torture poet speak

05:14

now is the best album by the way and we

05:16

zoom out to see the sheets of paper make

05:18

her face which is related to the side

05:21

face she has in

05:26

style we then have some exceptional

05:29

onscreen in chemistry from post and

05:31

Taylor uh postl I

05:33

[Music]

05:40

guess and the paper begins to swirl

05:43

around before we go to this tortured

05:46

scene for the torture poets

05:50

department now when we get to this scene

05:52

I can't help but look at these buttons

05:53

behind her and go back to the I can see

05:55

music video buttons however I don't

05:58

think there is a specific meaning to

06:00

them there is however a very easy to

06:02

spot black dog that I think everyone

06:05

knows is a reference to the track in

06:08

this album The Black

06:12

Dog Ethan Hawk then gets into the scene

06:15

and is one of the scientists and that's

06:16

a great knot to the Dead Poet Society

06:18

which I think definitely gave some

06:21

inspiration for this

06:25

album and there's also Josh Charles who

06:28

is from the Dead Poet Society as well

06:30

now they do something to tailor that

06:32

gives me stranger things types of Vibes

06:34

but post Malone comes to her rescue here

06:37

and we go to the telephone scene which I

06:40

think is very

06:43

odd poost is in the booth calling and

06:46

she is sitting on top well just in the

06:48

rain kind of Cardigan likee Vibes with

06:50

how she soaked in that

06:52

[Music]

06:54

06:57

files and stuff and flash back to the

06:59

scene where now post comes out of the

07:01

telephone booth grabs her hand and ends

07:04

with a

07:06

[Music]

07:08

touch but wait there's one more Easter
