Analysis of Lady Gaga - Telephone Music Video:
- Intertextual reference to the film 'Kill Bill' because of the car being similar and called 'Pussy Wagon', which is also considered a postmodern film.
- Lady Gaga is very conscious in how she looks, so each outfit she wears has to be different and more unique than the last; so for her appearance is everything.
- Narrative based and containing hybrid themes.
- There is reference to her genitalia, because it was rumoured that she was a hermaphrodite, however this music video but that story to rest: "I told you she didn't have a d**k." ~ "Too bad.".
- There is also slight advertising, because the hair-rollers she was wearing, whilst in prison, are coca-cola cans
- It also covers issues of sexuality and makes predictable stereotypes that women in jail are lesbians, and it used dark humour with modern technology of the prison officer on a lesbian dating website, and her login is "Miss Officer".
- Lady Gaga and Beyonce break the forth wall and look directly at the viewer, especially with important lines (that are spoken and are not lyrics to the song) : "You know what they say, once you killed a cow you gotta make a burger.". Also she looked directly at the viewer when making important hand gestures.
- In the video, the “telephone” is a metaphor for Gaga’s brain and the fact that she is not answering that phone (her brain) means that she has “dissociated” from reality. Dissociation is the ultimate goal of Monarch mind control. It is induced by traumatizing events, such as electroshock therapy or torture, to force the victim to dissociate from reality. This enables the handlers to create in the victim an alter personality that can be programmed to perform various tasks, such as carrying out an assassination.
- So in the context of the video, the telephone is Gaga’s mind and the dance club is representative of her dissociative state, the “magical place” mind-controlled slaves are trained to escape to during traumatic events.
- Gaga is then bailed out by Beyoncé and leaves prison. Inside the car, Gaga and Beyoncé engage into a highly dissociative conversation. It basically sounds like dialogue between two mind-controlled slaves. The phrase “Trust is like a mirror. You can fix it if it’s broke but you can still see the crack in the motherfucker’s reflection” can refer to a cheating boyfriend and can also refer to the permanent damage caused by the fragmenting of one’s personality in mind control.
- I dissected the Akerlund-directed video Paparazzi and its references to mind-control programming. Telephone acts as a sequel to Paparazzi, where Gaga still plays the role of a mind-controlled drone who kills people. ~ While the customers are agonizing and dying, Beyoncé puts on the Mickey Mouse sunglasses, the same glasses worn by Gaga in Paparazzi while killing her boyfriend.
- Illuminati signs - As stated in previous articles, the hiding of one eye (referring to the 'all seeing eye')and the “a-ok” sign are flashed by all Illuminati artists, apparently to show their allegiance. There are a lot of them in this video.
