Smuggler's Blues starts out with a man counting his money. He is one of two guys sitting in a car. The one in the white shirt gets shot but rushes back to the car in time to die in the car. It then shows the other guy, as well as a woman, changing through multiple disguises and exchanging packages. Scenes of him talking with the police are interspersed throughout. At the end, it shows the original dead body in the car with a radio broadcast about an unexplained shooting.
1 point if the music video in question has very good dancing or no dancing.
No dancing! Whoopee!
1 point if the music video has no dancing.
Thank goodness it gets a point.
1 point if the music video has something from the beginning come into play at the end.
Yep. The dead guy from the very beginning is present at the end.
1 point if the music video has a series of related images, a theme, or a plotline.
Smuggler's Blues has a "life as a smuggler" theme to it. It's not quite well-defined enough to have a plotline.
1 point if the music video has a theme or a plotline.
Sadly, it doesn't have anything more than a theme.
1 point if the music video has a plotline.
There are some plot-like elements to it, but if I counted it as a plotline, I would have to count it as 90% fluff and diversions, and that really makes a theme.
1 point if the music video is either depicts extreme coolness or extreme realism.
You'd think it would be able to do one or the other when showing something that, in real life, is generally seen as cool, but the whole thing was pretty meh.
1 point if the music video, if it has a plotline or theme, has no diversions from it.
If it had a plotline, it would, but as a theme, it has no diversions, and thus gets this point.
1 point if the music video does something that makes you think.
No point.
1 point to spare in case I really like it.
I actually don't really have that much of an opinion on it, so no point.
This video gets a 6/10.
I am HIGHLY up for suggestions for music videos to review.
