Part 2 of my long Daft Punk tribute post or whatever it should be called.
Earl de Darkwood decides that Stella is the perfect sacrifice and it creepy about it. He puts her into the cut out and it seems to hurt. But doesn't kill her instantly. The other band members want to help but they're blocked by the bodyguards who have guns. But that doesn't matter cuz they start swinging. Baryl takes out the two main guards with the crystal they got from Shep and Arpegius tackles Earl de Darkwood while the others fight the rest of his cult. Earl de Darkwood drops the last album he needs and decides to jump after it. And then all hell breaks loose; his followers all run in after him, into the depths that holds a lava bit and which starts to rise. And all his magic lava starts to explode.
We move onto Short Circuit. Another favorite but for very different reasons. The crew escapes and starts heading back to the city. They learn about what Earl de Darkwood has done to their memories and now they need to get those back.
They get to the production building in the city, where the cute guy is at. But what they need is in storage. Octave is the one who takes on this mission, sneaking into the building, ties up a janitor and disguises himself.
He does find their memories but is luck runs out. The security guard's soccer game, that had him distracted just ended and the janitor has wiggled his way to the front desk. He runs into the security guards as he tries to escape. He tries to show them what he was looking for but since he reached into his jacket, the guard tased him. Octave falls to the ground and starts twitching. And his natural color comes back just as the cute guy comes down. And it like, wtf. Also an evil essence stirs beneath Darkwood Manor
The big thing I love about this song is how it just descends into lower, longer tones. It truly gives a sinking, sickening feel of wrong. Especially as all this hidden alien kidnapping stuff is found. There has been so many lives taken and mutilated. I am actually really hopeful to animate my own characters to this song cuz it gives off the right sinking vibes.
Next we have Face to Face. It's long. First, we get a clip of Shep's crashed ship being pulled from the waters. Then another shot of Octave being rushed to an ambulance. There's a lot of quick bits about the news covering this mystery and the band being taken away and the manor being explored by authorities. I highly recommend watching the video yourself to get all the details.
There's just so much stuff. All of these boxed away memories and parts of people's lives that are long gone and were never truly known.
Either way, humans decide not to be horrid in this and help the band get back to their planet, mainly fueled by the cute guy. I told you not to blame him :) And people still love them. They're still a star band on Earth but now they get to show who they truly are.
Next up is Too Long. Good song but it is SOOOO long and repetitive. I don't listen to it often but it is needed to finish out the movie. So the band is send back out on a human spaceship to get home. Remember that evil essence I mentioned? Yeah, it comes back as Earl de Darkwood's soul, who tries to haunt the ship. But Shep's soul comes to save them again! And they make it home! They get back to their stage and start performing again. And guess what? Earth has signal to their planet now, so they get to broadcast all the way across the universe! Lastly, a statue of Shep is put up to immortalize his efforts.
The last scene we get is this little kid sleeping on the end of the record plays. So was it all a game? A dream? Who knows, it's a weird Daft Punk music video movie! And I love it!!
To conclude; I don't have much to say on the final videos and my take with it seeming similar to the Hunger Games lies with the whole being used as stars. Overall I love the movie and wanted to make this to find others who do to and to just share. Thank you all for reading :)
TLDR; Interstella 5555 is awesome and its representation of an abducted and used band reminds me of the victors in the Hunger Games.
