Remix Inspiration

I love all the remixes we watched in class, some of them are hilarious and others have powerful messages. One of my favorites was the "It's Raining Men" remix with 300 the movie. It makes perfect sense because that movie is literally all about fighting, shirtless, raging men. I found a similar video that remixes the same song with the Avengers. It takes clips from the Avengers the movie and other individual superhero movies, and mixes them. Similarly to the video we watched in class, it exploits the stereotype that superheros have to be muscular, attractive men. It shows how most superhero movies consist of a male lead with a female lover who just swoons helplessly over the sight of them.

Another remix I've liked for a while is one called Bill O'Rielly Freakout Dubstep Remix. It basically takes a video of Bill O'Rielly freaking out and put it to dubstep music. The original video is already absurd and hilarious since Bill O'Rielly gets so mad and makes a big deal out of nothing, and the remixed version just makes fun of him even more. This video doesn't so much send a message as it is just funny and entertaining.

The Usual Suspects remix we watched in class of the "black male in a black hoodie" is a remix that send more of a political/social message than the Bill O-Rielly freakout. It isn't necessarily saying they news reporters are racist, but that people tend to stereotype black men as criminals, more so if they are wearing a scary black hoodie. Whoever made this remix spent a respectable amount of time finding and cutting clips to emphasize something they think is a real problem in society today, and I think that is amazing.

I'm not positive if this next video is necessarily a remix video because it was created for Conan O'Brien's show, but I think it has the same qualities that a remix has. It has a similar structure to the "black male/black hoodie" video because it takes clips from a variety of different newscasts and shows how they are corrupted. I think this video is actually shocking because the newscasts aren't just saying a similar thing, they are using the exact same phrase with the same wording. The purpose of this remix is to show how the media is scripted and more of a performance than an actual display of information.

The last remix that I think is awesome is one called "Why Is The Rum Gone". It takes different parts of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean and creates a catchy song. At the beginning, the artist actually used sounds that a character makes in the movie to create music, which takes a lot of talent and attention to detail. This one doesn't have a message, it is much just for entertainment. But nonetheless, I love it.
