Like watching a bunch of Youtube videos


Like the videos on youtube,

the scenes in this movie,

have no purpose or sense.

More fair to say that a bunch of YouTube videos are like watching episodes of the Monkees. They came first, after all.

reply

Yes, when "Head" was made, as well as the Monkees TV show of course, there were no music videos per se. I think the Beatles and the Monkees were the forerunners of MTV, etc.

The Monkees were literally the forerunners of MTV, as Mike Nesmith created it.

got it?

I cant stand when people dont like something and say "it has no purpose"

reply

They have both purpose and sense, you just can't see either. There are a lot of layers of meaning in the film - it just uses a broken narrative form rather than standard plotting, which fools people into thinking it's meaningless.

It was more like early MTV videos.
