Elastic Heart, literary essay

Elastic Heart.

In my opinion the video is about a boy and a girl that are bipolar, at times they are like Friends but at times they heat each other. In addition to the thesis we get to know that the girl wants to go out of the cage but the boy do not want, or he simulates that he can go out, but for me he can.
To begin with the description of the video, the first impression that we can see is that they are looking each other in a scary way, they cross their looks in a rude and admirable way.  So by this we can recognize that they cannot stop looking each other in that rarely way that it seems to be.
As a second point we can see that there are dancing in a rarely way because they want to attract each other with the different movements that the two of them do.  At times we see that they want to take distance of each other, but then they cannot resist and then it seems that they are reconciled, and now they are not separated, they begin to approach slowly by jumping and doing acrobatics movements.
As a third thing we can see the type of clothes they have. It may seem that they are semi-naked and that both of them have dirty clothes, that apparent to be precarious with could catch the public´s attention.
The last thing to analyse is the cage, the cage had a great impact on the video, firs of all because they are inside, and at first they don’t have any option of been separated. Then at the last part of the video we get to know that the girl goes out of the cage, but then when he waits outsides for the man to go out, he is able but he did not want to. The girls still think that he can´t go out, but he can. So the man takes the girl´s hand and try to bring her into the cage again, but she didn’t want to because she didn’t wanto to be with him anymore.
As a conclusion we can see that is named elastic heart because they cannot survive without each other, and that when she gets out of the cage, it seems that like the life finish for him, because he cannot touch anymore the girl, and they are separated by a big cage. In my interpretation  it makes me feels that when you love too much a person you cannot live without him or her. That you need it for all your life.  I would recommend the video “Big girls cry” of Sia, the same author, because the video is an interesting one, that have many thing to analyse and it makes you keep on thinking when you finish seeing it.

  1. Great work, Mateo. This is a very good first essay. It is complete and well developed, it also shows your personal interpretation of the video.
    The use of the translator seems to have helped you a lot and with good results. Just remember you won´t be able to use this tool in examinations, so try to start learning some of these new words you have used.
