Jim Carrey’s new music video
The new music video from Jim Carrey is a Techno perfect parody of Mussolini. The video is a mix of Carrey’s comedy and music, and it is simply brilliant. The video pokes fun at Mussolini’s infamous speeches, and it is set to a catchy techno beat. Carrey’s hilarious performance is the perfect way to make light of a serious subject.
The video’s concept and execution
The video, which is technically a short film, stars Carrey as Mussolini and was directed by Lorenzo Mattotti. It was made in collaboration with Massive Attack’s 3D, who also did the music for the video. The result is a dark, surreal, and ultimately haunting look at Mussolini’s rise to power and his eventual downfall.
The video opens with Carrey’s Mussolini walking through a dark and empty cityscape. He is followed by a group of black-clad soldiers, who march in perfect unison behind him. The camera zooms in on Mussolini’s face as he begins to speak, and we see a single tear falling from his eye.
As the music builds, the scene cuts to a series of quick shots showing Mussolini’s soldiers marching through the streets of Italy, as well as some of the atrocities they committed during their reign of terror. We also see footage of Mussolini himself giving speeches to adoring crowds of supporters.
The scene then switches to a surreal dream sequence in which Mussolini is dancing maniacally with a group of half-naked women. This is intercut with footage of him being hanged upside down after his execution, as well as more shots of his troops commit crimes against humanity.
The whole thing is incredibly unsettling, yet also strangely hypnotic thanks to 3D’s excellent music score. It’s a fascinating and unnerving look at one of history’s most notorious dictators, and Carrey gives an exceptionally creepy performance in the lead role.
The video’s use of music
The video is set to the techno song “Mussolini” by the band Death in Vegas. The song is the perfect choice for the video, as it perfectly captures the energy and intensity of Carrey’s performance. The fast-paced beat of the song matches the frenetic pace of Carrey’s acting, and the lyrics are perfectly suited to the video’s darkly comic tone.
The video’s overall impact
The video is a mix of live action and animation, with Carrey in full Il Duce regalia, sitting atop a reviewing stand as a military parade passes below him. The twist is that the soldiers are all break-dancing to a techno remix of Mussolini’s speeches.
It’s a high-energy, fast-paced video that perfectly captures the frantic energy of techno music. Carrey’s over-the-top performance as Mussolini is perfect for the material, and the visual effects are top-notch. The video is an excellent example of how to take an old speech and give it new life with the power of technology.
