BLOG QUESTION: TONIGHT, TONIGHT

What is this music video about? Why did the band and the filmmakers choose these images? Why are they significant? What do you think they are paying homage or emulating?

I think the music video pays a homage to the silent film 'A Trip to the Moon" and other silent films. It's about a couple who journey to the moon and encounter aliens. They are captured, and manage to escape them. The music video uses effects such as superimposition to make characters look smaller/bigger on screen, and there's no dialogue at all. They also have unique makeup and costumes that fit the silent film theme. The set design/background effects create the "stage play" look that many silent films had.
