Interesting to see Francis Ford Coppala's daughter pretending to be a gymnast along to the superb Chemical Brothers track. The ending in particular sticks in my mind, the story behind the anonymous black and white photo in a dusty window. Love it.

The Iron Will can make you do anything.
Kyashan7429 June 2023
This is one of my favorite music clips of all times.
The 2 main antagonists depict the ancient war between the good athlete filled of good feelings and the evil one who would do anything just to win a competition.
This shows how the determination and the iron will can make you overcome all the possible difficulties life can put in front of us.
The music is very good and suits very well to the scenes of the video, specially the part where she she gets injured is awesome and fill me with an energy and motivation that grants me to do anything.
To be noticed is the little easter egg at the end where among the many trophies you can see a photo of the Chemical Brothers, i loved that.

Not bad, not great either

Warning: Spoilers
There are so many prominent acts that Spike Jonze directed music videos for and the Chemical Brothers is just one of them. This 5.5-minute video here has (Jonze's later wife) Sofia Coppola playing an athlete as we watch her acrobatics presentation.. And her teammates, competitors and parents are watching as well. This is not a great video as there were some pretty weak moments, like when the main character looks around for ages after allegedly having injured herself and of course that's the very moment that her parents enter the gym. The music wasn't great either, but Chemical Brothers are probably just not my preferred choice in general, even if they have songs I like. Still, an interesting idea here as, in real life, a song by this band would be something that nobody like Coppola in this video would choose to present their talent. Why not? Certainly the most interesting question/aspect to remember from this little film. The rest is not too memorable and as a whole, I cannot recommend it.
