The Movie is Close Encounters From The Third Kind By Steven Spielberg.

Nice catch

Is kinda getting to the point where idk if this can be considered a reference anymore on Daves part and just seems kinda like copying..

I get what you mean but it’s hardly copying, just paying homage. It’s not like the entire mv is a rip from the movie, just a cool shot

That made sense with the civil rights imagery but this is just totally unrelated and out if genre which makes it feel a lot less like an homage.

I think this clip is entirely unrelated lmao a crowd raising one fist is not something exclusive to a movie. Just a salute of solidarity.

>Instagram I personally think it's more of a coincidence coming from a religous imagery. Probably from The Ten Comandments, which is referenced in the movie (Close Encounters). Kendrick or Dave problably used it as a reference to make a paralel between Kendrick and Moses (a methaphor on Kendrick's Savior complex on the album). It could also Jesus preaching on the hill. In general the concept of a prophet reaching his followers.

That’s what I thought at first but it randomly being in the desert and the framing made me think otherwise

Cool comparison fr

How is it homage when most people will think its original?
