If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power

I love Halsey career. I love her music. The production of this film it's amazing. The costumes , cinematography and casting outstanding. The concept it's there. But that's not enough. It's not enough combine beautiful images. And that's a shame because it could be such a great music film.

Everything in the album is gold, from rhythm to lyrics. The way halsey talks about the wrong things that are normalize in or society is way to disturbingly amazing. Indeed, a work of art.

When compared to other "album-accompanying-films", this one is one of, if not, the best.

"There's not much story", many tout in their reviews. This is incorrect. The story is very clear, concise, and to the point, hence the 53 minute runtime.

Anyone who didn't understand this was a period drama of a queen accused simply wasn't paying enough attention. The story is very laid out even in the "vague" moments.

"Too much up for interpretation" For the album itself? Eh I could see that. Lyrical content is always up for interpretation. The film itself? Again, not much up for interpretation when it's very clear and concise (if one is actually paying attention). I don't understand people who say things like this.

Hell, I'm autistic, many things are confusing to me/bother me when up to too much interpretation. But the story here is very clear, even when it waivers in its "point", so everyone saying "it's confusing" are confusing, in turn, to me.

Also, as the title suggests, when this opens, it's clearly labeled a "FILM EXPERIENCE", so yet again everyone here saying "not much of a film", it isn't supposed to be a direct film. It s a film EXPERIENCE set with Halsey's music. It's that simple.

If you're not a fan of Halsey, Nine Inch Nails, or album-movie tie in's, this isn't really for you anyway. *shrug*.

To the people complaining they are "disappointed", you have no one to blame but yourselves. Hype is made from one's mind. Go into something with the wrong expectations you're obviously not going to like it.

And to circle back to the "interpretation" thing from early, why is "too up for interpretation" necessarily a bad thing? Do we REALLY need everything spelled out for us left and right? No. No we do not. Things are often more powerful when left up to one's own interpretation.

Recommended 100% for Halsey fans since that is truly who this is for anyway.

Hopefully this gets her some new fans as the album and film are phenomenal and deserving of praise.

For a few moment I just flash back to the ancient Glory and blossoming era .Thank you sir 4 making this wonderful movie.

I'm from India. True to say I really like the climax of this wonderful movie .

Heart touching song of Harsley, truly adorable Sir all the best for your next extra ordinary movie To me,the king 🤴 got what he deserved as well as all except queen 👸 .

Sir, the story of this movie is unique and fresh All the characters are doing hilarious performances looking like a real character, sometime I think myself like one among them but no nono nono means to say Like an witness of the whole History.

I will pray to God 🙏 for you to give you strength, mental power and good health Love ❤ you ❤ 💓 💗 💕 Sir I will be waiting for your next marvelous work.

This video featured great vocals, beautiful imagery; both hallmarks of a great music video. But it missed the mark for me on a couple of levels. First, if you are going to tell a story, make it something fresh (at least a fresh twist). We don't need retellings of history and all the trappings pf misogyny without hope. Women have felt this tale, lived this tale, throughout time. When you create a nee story within this theme, present some element of empowerment. This give the illusion of that, but it is just delusion.

Maybe they wanted a dark tale. But they could have spun it away from the cliche.
