So, the music doesn’t really get going until about the eight-minute mark, with Gaga filling the first chunk of the epic 13:48 minute “Marry the Night” vid with spoken word dialogue and Girl, Interrupted-esque exposition. Even so, this video is packed with a ridiculous amount of scene changes — a little ballet (Black Swan homage?), a little psych ward, some nudity, cheerios and fashion from the Future, obvs.
She told E! that the video was inspired by the “worst day of my life” when she thought her dreams were slipping away from her when her first record label Island Def Jam dropped her.
“That’s probably the most honest moment in that video of everything I’ve ever done. My directorial decision was for them to just f*cking roll the cameras, because I couldn’t go in and out of the moment.”

Thoughts/feelings?
but where is the uncensored version?
couldn’t get past minute one. YAWN.
So…I enjoyed it until the last scene thing…then I felt like aliens were trying to steal my brain. O_o
This is the first time in my life I’ve been jealous of cereal.
The nurse ass and bedazzler comments made me actually lol.
Gaga bedazzling with cheerios, bathing, nurses..I approve.
Lady Gaga videos always make my life, even if I generally don’t understand them. These are things that make me happy, though:
Lady Gaga enchanting me with her sexy speaking voice? Check.
Lady Gaga displaying her sense of humor? Check.
Breathtaking dance choreography (if nothing else, you have to admit that shit wonderful-crazy)? Check.
Lady Gaga looking FINE in that short, blonde hair while cars burn behind her? Check.
Excellent song? Check.
Unfortunately, the whole first eight minutes only confirmed my bizarre adoration for/infatuation with damaged young women. Sigh.
Never mess with a girl’s bedazzler.
Moral of the story? “Suck it Def Jam.”
Because her videos needed more talking and explosions. And speaking of trauma, that flaming car scene gave me Canuck riot flashbacks…. Vancouverites, amirite?
I didn’t watch the video yet, but I think that the scene in the 2nd picture of this post is an homage to Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box” video? Or maybe the “grey curtains and black cross” thing is just actually common in Christian hospitals in the US, idk the similarity just jumped to my eyes. #my2cents
The choreography was amazing, as usual. A lot of the pre-music was fucked up, but the prelude monologue was great. Her line “It’s not that I’be been dishonest; I just loathe reality” is now my favourite quotation.
WAT IS HAPPENING
this comment combined with your avatar just wins all the things
I love the video. Especially the comment about the nurse’s ass.
And the nakedness, obviously.
Is Gaga making becheerioing a thing?
Is becheerioing the wholegrain alternative to the meat dress?
Will Gaga have constructed a wardrobe covering the entire food pyramid by the end of her next album?
What I love about Gaga is that she really makes me think.
specifically, about food.
This is one of her better vids… the exposition actually makes sense, the emotions felt real, and lord, the things she does on/ in/ to that bathtub!
A very nice F- you to Def Jam indeed.
Also, I can kind of relate to her feelings here because I have several painful rejection letters in my inbox right now. I guess, according to the gospel of Gaga, I’ll have to marry the night, not give up on my life, etc.
I loved this. It wasn’t all good/coherent, but the good parts were great and I love the song.
I feel like Gaga’s cheerioing is her way of saying that she wants to get it way the fuck on with every lesbian’s #1 Cheerio.
Santana ftw.
I can totally relate to the cheerios thing…. except i wasn’t naked
BAM
Every time I see/hear something Lady G. does, I love her a little more. And… her ontop of that trans am? HOT
The bedazzler comment was the best. Bedazzle everything!
glad i took french! c’est chouette!
I felt like she was channeling Amanda Palmer for a couple moments there. I’m not sure how I feel about that.
So, I can usually appreciate some Gaga creativity as much as the next person, but really, I’m beginning to think someone should really say something to her.
anybody think the car scene references warhol’s saturday disaster? i totally see it, especially her body positioning
i think lady gaga and i took the exact same amount of high school french
This is kind of like a postmodern Honey I Shrunk the Kids. I’m just saying.
Sooo…apparently that’s Jenna Ushkowitz around the 5:00 mark. I can only recognize her hair, but can anyone verify this? Because that’s kinda fucking crazy.
Jenna Ushkowitz is actually at the end. She’s the one with the Chanel bag that helps Gaga into the limo at 13:57. She confirmed this on her twitter. :)
Ahh, okay. Well, that girl has the same hair at 5:00 so it’s probably her too. That’s awesome! I love Jenna :D
The BEST part:
“Check out this nurse on the right, she’s got a great ass.”
Apparently one of the nurses is her mum?
The one she talks to when she’s in bed, I think.
I don’t really need to say anything other than I loved it and love her. I always do, mind.
i couldn’t watch the entire thing straight. the song is pretty catchy but the entire 14 minute video?…NO.
Maybe I should stop watching these videos while sober
Am I crazy? I’m kind of really in to this.
It wasn’t as bad as Ann-Margret covered in baked beans.
Were those Honeynut, or plain, Lady G?
She’s on fire. Where I can find the uncensored version?
