Taylor Swift - Style
Unlike the last Taylor Swift video that I posted, "Style" is full of figurative scenes as the story unfolds of a roller-coaster-like love story, where the two fall madly in love, hurt each other, and eventually get back together and begin the whole process again, even though they know it's wrong. Around the :43 mark, you begin to see flashbacks, during which they build the story of the original relationship before the breakup that you can tell has also already happened based on the morbid facial expressions and atmospheres. She describes the long time that he's been gone and appears partially naked in the video, figuratively showing the way she feels without him. She goes on to talk about him coming to pick her up and explains that they'll never go out of style, so they can keep doing whatever they'r doing. However, two aspects that I really liked were the broken glass showing them both. Even though they are both there, it will never be fully fixed after the original breaks. Also, they each hold a mirror up, in which you can see facial features of the other, which tells the audience that they'll always hold a piece of each other, no matter how skewed or broken.
