Music Videos Inspired by Iconic Films, There's a New Song from Sabrina Carpenter

Iconic works of art often serve as references for other artworks, including films that are routinely used as inspiration for creating music videos.

Of course, this inspiration is not applied directly. Each music video usually undergoes careful modifications and adjustments to avoid the impression of plagiarism.

If you’re curious, let’s take a look at the following eight music videos and compare whether they are as iconic as the films that inspired them!

The music video Fetish - Selena Gomez is inspired by the horror film POSSESSION (1981). Selena Gomez as the main star in the video does strange and odd things that signify female rage and emotional instability.

The music video Express Yourself - Madonna is inspired by the film METROPOLIS (1927). From the lighting, costumes, and the background, it is quite clear that this video uses the old German film, METROPOLIS as a reference.

The song thank u, next - Ariana Grande uses the films MEAN GIRLS, 13 GOING 30, LEGALLY BLONDE, and BRING IT ON as inspiration.

The music video we can’t be friends (wait for your love) - Ariana Grande uses references from the film ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2005) starring Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey.  

<nil>

The music video The Ghost of You - My Chemical Romance takes references from the movie SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. They seem to use the Hollywood war film formula that stirs emotions and adds a touch of romance.

The song Taste - Sabrina Carpenter is one of the songs in her latest album titled Short n Sweet. This song is inspired by the movie DEATH BECOMES HER (1992) starring Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn.

The music video Lost in Japan - Shawn Mendes uses references from the movie LOST IN TRANSLATION. Just like what Mendes did in the music video, the film also follows two people who are on vacation in Tokyo and accidentally meet.

The song 1999 - Charli XCX ft. Troye Sivan takes many references from 90s pop culture. From the introduction of tube computers, the glory of vocal groups, the release of movies TITANIC, THE MATRIX, AMERICAN BEAUTY, to the game The Sims that shook the world.
