Shakira and Karol G: tweeter analyzed video for new song and said it was inspired by this movie

Shakira and Karol G’s new song fell like a torpedo on the Internet, and in less than 20 hours it has already accumulated more than 31 million views on YouTube and is number one in music trends on the platform. THQwhich is part of the new record work of thea Bichotahas a music video in which visual references are the order of the day, a Twitter user came to this conclusion who, after watching the video several times, warned that it was inspired by a famous movie from the 1960s. 90.

It is The Truman Showstarring Jim Carrey (1998) u tells the story of Truman, a man who lives his whole life, without knowing it, on a television set starring in a reality show — before its explosion in the 2000s. The cult film is the one that inspired the music video for THQ At least that’s what tweeter Erick Gil believes.

Gil posted a thread in which he breaks down the music video and compares it to Carrey’s film, because for him the end of both has the same intention: to free himself from deception after acknowledging it.

“The video is 100% inspired by the 1998 film ‘The Truman Show’, in which Truman believes he lives happily, this is his reality, but he doesn’t know it’s recorded 24×7 and everything What he does is seen on Television aka reality show. The last scene of the video is the one that gives us all the reference”, this is how the tweeter begins his analysis.

Immediately, Gil remembered that thea Bichota, before the release of the song, announced that he had prepared a big surprise in Times Square in New York. A few hours later, the surprise would be revealed and a sentence would increase the expectation of his followers “Your favorite reality TV show”. This sentence, for the tweeter, is one of the first confirmations of his intuitions.

Gil continued his analysis noting that “the video begins with Karol G appearing on any screen (reality show). In fact, in the last photo you can see the “recoding” symbol”. Immediately, the tweeter pointed out that in the scene where a man appears staring at a screen, Shakira and The Bichota, it would be none other than Christof, the producer of the rreality show in which Truman unknowingly lives in the film.

Another hint Gil found is that, during the music video, the Colombians appear amidst the four elements of nature, but “all simulated on the set of their reality, all perfect and all beautiful”. Here the tweeter goes a little higher and says that in the story of the music video: “Everything was beautiful on the set, yet behind them were the two Cristofs living another life, that is to say Pique with Clara and Anuel with Yailin”.

Para volver un poco a las comparison entre el videoclip y la película, Gil reparó en que “otra escena que tomaron de la película es de la última, cuando Truman está por salir del set y es visto por todos, entre ellos, un señor en the bathtub”.

As a culmination of his analysis, Gil pointed out that the biggest reference to the film is at the end of the video, which, like in the film, takes place on stairs painted like the sky and leading to a door through which Truman escapes from the farce in which he has lived all his life. To tweet it, the singers do the same, they recognize the lie of the reality they have lived, but rather than succumb to it, they overcome it and break free from it.

“And the biggest reference is this when Truman realizes it was all a hoax and decides to leave the set and live a real life. Here we see our queens doing the same, leaving their fake relationships to live their new life.
