  • Introduction to Video Content
  • Childish Gambino's music video for 'This Is America' is a thought-provoking and visually stunning piece of art. In this article, we will explore the top five things that you may have missed while watching the video.Starting with number five, the video ends with a powerful image of Glover running away from a mob of angry white people. The dark and haunting background could be a nod to the movie 'Get Out,' which features a concept called the 'sunken place.' This could symbolize the feeling of helplessness experienced by marginalized communities in the face of violence.Moving on to number four, the video is full of biblical references. One striking image is that of a white horse next to a cop car. These juxtapositions hint at the contrasting forces of good and evil, law and order, and the harsh reality of racial inequality in America.Number three, symbolism through dance. Glover's energetic and captivating dance moves serve as a commentary on the distractions and entertainment that often overshadow social issues and injustices. The dancers in the background represent society's obsession with pop culture and how it can divert attention from pressing matters.Next, at number two, the gun violence epidemic. Throughout the video, there are shocking scenes of guns being used to commit acts of violence. This not only highlights the alarming rate of gun-related incidents in America, but also raises questions about the glorification of firearms in popular culture.Finally, at number one, the role of social media. The video touches upon the influence and power of social media, as Glover is seen recording moments on his phone amidst the chaos. This suggests that while social media can be a platform for spreading awareness, it can also distract individuals from taking real action and effecting change.In conclusion, 'This Is America' is a multi-layered music video that tackles various social issues and challenges viewers to reflect upon the state of the nation. Through powerful symbolism, choreography, and imagery, Childish Gambino sends a powerful message that demands attention and discussion. So, if you haven't already, watch the video again and see if you can unravel even more hidden meanings.

  • Welcome to watchmojo.com, and today we're counting down our picks for the Top 5 Things You Missed in Childish Gambino's This is America video.
  • Before we Begin, we publish new content every day, So be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos.
  • For this list, we're ranking the most noteworthy, intriguing, and controversial content, and there's a lot of it, in the latest music video from Childish Gambino, also known as artistic polymath Donald Glover.
  • Number 5, The Sunken Place We're actually starting our list at the end of the video.
  • Here, our final image is full of fear and terror, as Glover is running away from what appears to be an angry mob of white people.
  • The background is dark, almost pitch black, and could very well be interpreted as an homage to director Jordan Peele's Academy Award winning horror comedy, Get Out.
  • Gambino's song, Redbone, was featured on the soundtrack, so this seems like a safe bet.
  • The Harrowing imagery could be referencing the film's concept of the sunken place, the antithesis of being woke, where a marginalized population feels helpless against a surrounding atmosphere of violence.
  • Number 4, Bible References This is America is a music video that demands to be viewed multiple times, as there are many images that appear briefly, and in the background behind Glover and his dancers.
  • One such image is that of a white horse, juxtaposed with a cop car.
  • This could be referencing the famous Bible verse from the book of Revelations, that describes, in part, quote, This combination of apocalyptic imagery, with the growing news coverage of police brutality against the black community,
  • Could certainly be seen as very intentional social commentary.
  • I got the plug on Oaxaca, whoa, they gonna find you like baka, blah!
  • Number 3, Jim Crow Put into place after the Civil War, Jim Crow was a system of racist local and state laws, whose existence was designed to enforce segregation and oppression in the southern United States.
  • Some of Childish Gambino's movements and poses in the This is America video, seem to deliberately mimic those seen in vintage Jim Crow posters.
  • This can be seen specifically during the video's opening scene, when Gambino shoots a man, execution style, in the back of the head.
  • Glover slash Gambino's dance moves in the video, could also be seen as referencing the era of repugnant blackface minstrelsy entertainment, popular during the long reign of Jim Crow.
  • Number 2, the anti-gun message You certainly aren't gonna miss seeing guns in this video.
  • We've mentioned the opening execution, but later on in the clip, Glover also mows down a choir of gospel singers.
  • But this is far from a typical violent gangsta fantasy.
  • In each of these sequences, guns are treated in a much more reverent fashion than the bodies of those slain.
  • This seems to clearly be referencing the growing desperate unrest in America, with regards to gun control, gun violence and the state of mental health care.
  • The image of Glover using a high-powered rifle, could be a direct reference to the Charleston church shooting of 2015, and could also be referencing how terror threats seem to be the new normal.
  • Number 1, the significance of dancing There's a lot of dancing in this video.
  • With a shirtless and muscled Gambino and kids, busting African-inspired moves and viral dance crazes alike.
  • But why?
  • Well, the previously mentioned blackface vaudeville acts, involved exaggerated styles of dance, which childish Gambino appears to reference with mimicking moves.
  • His facial expressions switch between a smiling entertainer's visage, and an expressive look of outrage.
  • Glover seems to be contrasting the financial and cultural primacy of black entertainment in white America, to the indifference of the same society, to the gun-driven violence that disproportionately plagues black citizens.
  • It's simultaneously highly entertaining and deeply disturbing to watch.
  • And that seems to be the point.
