Must see: Lana Del Rey - Tropico

Wauw, wauw, wauw.. This women is amazing and such an inspiration! Finally I can introduce you ''Tropico'' - the short movie created by Lana Del Rey. The last days I was dying, I wanted to show you all this piece of work so bad. For the last few weeks Lana was posting pictures, trailers and moments out of the video, what made me so curious! I felt so lucky when the video was finally released! It's unbelievable how someone can make or even think of making something like this.. You can really see and feel that she put her whole soul in the video! The short video was filmed in late June 2013 and was directed by Anthony Mandler, who also directed previous videos as; ''National Anthem'' and ''Ride''.
''Dear John, forgive us our sins, dear John, forgive us our sins, Dear John, forgive us our sins.. '' It's the beginning of the movie, Lana is dressed up like as Maria - the mother of Jesus. A promising start.. A start where we can see different inspirations of Lana; Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne and Jesus itself. The movie consists of three beautiful songs: ''Body Electric'', ''Gods and Monsters'' and ''Bel Air''. There are four totally different scenes, with of course Lana and Albino model Shaun Ross. The first scene is showing the love story between Adam and Eve in a dreamy Garden of Eden, with of course fig leaves, the snake and the forbidden apple and the music of ''Body Electric''. ''Gods and Monsters'' is playing while showing a dream vision of a L.A. gang world with a stripping Lana Del Rey and Shaun carrying out a raid. The ''Bel Air'' scene is just wonderful, Lana and Shaun are just dancing together in a wide 'golden' field.. In between Lana is telling her own story, telling monologues - something that I really like in all of her songs, it's so peaceful.. And of course every scene has their own ''Lana Del Rey filter'', beautiful.

Well I hope I made you curious enough to watch this short movie of my personal inspiration; Lana Del Rey. Unfortunately the video is only available at VEVO so I need you to click on this link to watch it! Oh and at the Hollywood premiere of the movie, Lana announced that her next album will be called ''Ultraviolence'' and will come soon - I'm excited!!!!

Btw: I'm sorry for not posting anything the last weeks! The last weeks before the Christmas vacation are always really hectic. Deadlines for school, organize my trip home, of course doing a lot of things here in Herning, my parents who where visiting me etc. Well actually I can't make any excuses, so I'm sorry! But feel free to follow my Facebook where I'm a bit more active at the moment 'cause it takes less time. Hopefully I'll see you there!! Kisses and enjoy ''Tropico''..
