Please watch the video titled Sia-Elastic Heart, or else you'd be wasting your precious time reading this review.
Now I am no critic and I know that this video has got a lot
of negative bashing over the internet. But just hear my out my opinion. In my
views, the adult and the child of being of opposite genders are symbolical with
the fact that we become completely different individuals when we grow old. The
cage represents the modern shackles that keep us bounded in these prisons of
success, money and fame. Whereas the girl(Maddie’s character) is playing the
role of past, being wild, happy, and somehow free from this cage. She can move
in and out of the cage as she is never ever in one. But the man(Shia Labeouf’s
character) is reserved, is fearful, he wants to break free but just cannot, he shows
that he has the requisite amount of strength by hanging from the roof of the cage.
The man wants to break free, be as carefree as he was in the past once. But he simply
cannot and he also cannot let the child go, as the past is his strength. But
the cage is too strong to break free.
And so the adult is never able to break free, all he has is
a tough skin and an elastic heart. But what am I to know my mind is full of
thoughts and I am not a free bird either.
