I love how images of a nearly naked woman's body parts and a tied up man in a trunk getting murdered are okay, but dear god, we better obscure the image of that liquor bottle. Because that's what's really gonna mess the kids minds up. |

It seems a bit unfinished, but I think it's great. Atmospheric, cool, sexy, the best video Ive seen in ages. Maybe the best Hip Hop video ever. Ive had the idea of putting the artist in the trunk before. |

The song is absolutely "house" music personafied. The individuals like myself who have dabbled once or twice with ecstacy in a foreign country will no doubt appreciate the bondage going on here. The place I'm speaking of is Amsterdam where anything is possible. Aside from the murder I felt that the director could have gone a bit longer, I didn't get enough on this one, but the whole aspect of a beautiful woman getting that upset at her lover and killing him is kind of hot I have to admit. But maybe I've just watched too many James Bond films. |

I envisioned a waaaaay better video for this song. It doesn't do the song any justice at all. The lyrics of the song don't coincide with what's going on in the vid WHATsoever...deeply disappointed. Maybe Kanyeezie's mom's passing took a toll on his abstract creativity. Definitely understandable. |

the women is kanyes ex she found out he was cheating on her by the paparazi (flashing lights) so she wants to get him back (i never thought that you would take it this far) she kills him with the shovel because she doesnt believe in SHOOTING STARS but she believes in shoes and cars...thats why she takes her clothes off and is left with her shoes and her car....i didnt get the video in the beginning either but it does make sense |

this video seems pointless. if you like nice black tail, then this video is a nine. but it's a 3, otherwise. to agree with pete, it did seem unfinished. something much, much better could have been done. this video, like his entire album, left me wanting more. 7 for the song. |

yeah... if u like kanye west, there is a compilation series you should check out called "Euro Club Hits" -- it's pretty clear that dance music is coming back around the world -- just check the recent big American hip-hop and R&B hits which are clear rip-offs of the european dance style..... here's the direct iTunes link to the "Euro Club Hits" series..... http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearchResults?albumTerm=Euro+Club+Hits+Vol+ |

The best hip-hop video for this year,with a very imaginative representation of the song(if you have been listening to his words,instead of his rhyming and beats) and atmospheric nature,which has alot for meaning.not for linear in thought,for the more finicky.Impressive. |

ok i saw another video on you tube. its the same song and has a girl. the song is shot in picture frames and is really amazing to trip on. but the only problem is that i cant find it anymore. i have been hunting for a very long time and if someone has seen it recently pls let m know. it was titled flashing lights official video. |
Beautiful girl, nice car, good song. Not the greatest video I've seen of all time, but cool to watch.
