Land of confusion music video analysis

This video is about the misuse of power. The two main characters are greed and unity. Unity is

represented by the "good" character who the narrative follows and greed by the large monocle

wearing man shown throughout.

The video begins with military machines, showing that this song and video are pertaining to war

in a big way, and that the machines are in black and have a red and white symbol that looks a semblance

like the swastika tells us that the video is not looking favorably on war.

The flags are then shown on on some black, suited soldiers. This symbolizes how the song is also

aimed at the countries themselves.

In amongst shots of war and carnage there is a shot of "greed" sitting calmly or even happily. This

is stating that the people in power are gaining from this, and this gain feeds their greed.

The video then goes to show how this is affecting the civilians, the average people, and that they

are suffering just to behoove the "Men of steel".

The video then goes on to the character unity, showing that if pushed too far, the people who are

being negatively affected by an injustice can fight back, and stand up, or in this video's representation,

break free. Through the smoke and umbra comes unity, hope, justice.

An "S" lands on Unity because the lyrics state "superman where are you know?", implying that maybe

he is our "superman", he then however throws the "S" away, saying that he is no superman, he

is but any man and every man.

He then stands up to the injustice, and others follow, this is showing that we all have a voice, and

if together, it can be heard.

The video then has a slow rewinding part, this is because within the song he is remembering what

it was like before, before the men in power were overtaken by avarice.

The two main characters then meet, the greed and power fears the voice and the unity.

Sonne music video analysis

• This video begins in the dark in near silence. This fits to the song that also begins nearly silent.
• Then, the music kicks in, heavy and loud. So the video follows suit.
• It goes to a man using heavy threshing machinery.
• There are many quick cuts whilst the instruments are playing.
• Whilst the singer is singing then the cut rate slows as does the action on screen.
• The men in the video are of working class and this relates to the average listener of industrial music.
• Dark and dirty video, showing the hovel of their dwellings, this is a huge contrast to the next location.
• The woman enters and is deified by her dominance, the mens reaction to her etc
• The video then has cuts back to the men working in the mine, and this shows us that they are working for her
• The shots back to the mine also shows the bipolar lifestyle they live, seemingly due to her
• The song itself is a love song, though as what happens with many Rammstein video's the song is similar but not exactly the same topic
• As with all Rammstein videos that require actors (all except Links 2 3 4 and Moskau) the band themselves play the roles.
• The narrative is a key feature in all Rammstein videos.
• As with the narrative in a lot of songs of a similar genre, like metal or heavy metal, the video is about an injustice of sorts.
• At the "funeral" all the characters show unhappiness, even though she was the evil character.
• One person then looks up in joy, relief that they are know free. This is followed by an instrumental.
• Whilst she is dead the lyrics say "she is the brightest star of them all". This relates to the video stating that though she mistreated them,

she was the best thing that they knew

• The chorus then changes to "Nie kommt die sonne - never comes the sun" rather than "hier kommt die sonne - here comes the sun"

This lyric change in the video means that she has now gone, and whatever hope they had before, has gone forever. However

exclusively for the video, the chorus then changes back, this is when she comes to, and is not dead, as previously predicted.

In the normal version of the song, it remains as "nie kommt die sonne" though the change is made specifically for the video. Also

the intro from the normal version is added at the end of this version, and it ends with the word "aus - end" that is usually at the

start of the song after a count from 1-9. This count is a german march, though the march goes from 1-10, at 10 it ends, though

Sonne never reaches 10, this symbolizes that his torment never ends.
