REMIXXX =]

Remix- 
This is based on the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet- So that would be the "original."

A remix in music is usually something new added to the original song, it can be examples such as a new underlying beat, a faster tempo or a added new verse by a different artist. In this case, the "remix" or twist of the video is that it takes a very tragic situation, makes it humorous and ironically, accurate, even though the humor is really stupidity at it's finest. This remix can be a way of connecting with humans in that it is somewhat enticing to us. Not only is it entertaining and funny, it uncovers a new view of the situation, not necessarily a good view, but a different view none the less. In a sense, it kind of provides an escape or a relief from the actual drama and sadness of it all. These may be the reasons why this remix provides a connection with people and why they would watch it. I don't often come in contact with remixes in my daily life.

  1. Riana, I agree with a lot of you conclusions about what a remix is. But what do you think about the lyrics of the remix? You've got to have an opinion of the lyrics, right? I'd love to hear what you have to say!

  2. well besides being extremely profane, the lyrics are so true. They are so accurate based on the movie. And honestly they probably reflect how someone now a days would react if put into that situation, maybe just without the song. Lol.
