Culture Buzz: All of the wonderful elements here combine to create the most beautiful and eloquent music video I've ever seen.

I can't even count the amount of WTFs here... is it the Grandma with the sunglasses on the side? is it the Obviously friendless brother that can wield a butterfly knife? is it the choreography?! It's amazing and WTF at the same time.
bravo for the find!

My brain just can't parse this video - all these incongruous elements: Non-chalante entry of little brother; but then obviously choreographed sequence. Painting hung on the outside of their back door. Obvious planning of video and angle, but then they include grandma, dog, garbage, and mop in shot. Mix of stereotypical martial sequences and just kind of "high school dance bobbing". Lack of facial expressions. Mix of well-practiced and fairly inept moves with swords. Whole video.

Anyways, awesome find. But I have to stop watching or my brain is going to start leaking smoke.

This is an independent nerdy film in the vein of Napoleon Dynamite waiting to happen. I already have back stories and a few scenes for every character in my head...it's amazing!

From Dangerous Minds:

This [clip, called "one minute and 23 seconds of some kind of weird bliss"] makes me ecstatic - the music, the sword moves and all the odd little details within the frame. I love the old lady sitting placidly like a Buddha, the plump little dog who couldn’t care less, the giant boom box, the way the boy casually hands off his beer to Buddha granny and gracefully slips into the girl’s vortex immediately getting into the groove, the thrift store art hanging on the door, the mop, bucket etc. It’s extraordinarily ordinary like some kind of super-realist painting set in motion. I don’t know, it’s just fucking inspired.The Tao flows through suburbia on Jian swords of bliss. Who are these people and how do I become one with them? I did not want this to end.
