Soft Cell- What! (official video)/About Soft Cell's What?! music video through my observations


Soft Cell's music video What? or What! was a mix of Andy Warhol's and Roy Lichtenstein's Pop and Op art series. It begins with a Andy Warhol type four Marilyn Monroes in one scene shot and then went down to one and then she winked at you. Then having Roy Lichtenstein typed Letters and some of the photos of Marc Almond behind a Lichtenstein piece called "Deconstructing" as well as the primary colours of his outfit matched the same style as the background photo. I love that mix of pure art over their twisted styles of art. The actors was almost like the art pieces were coming to life! the checkerboard floor is like the optical illusion, made that whole dizzy feeling. The song itself is a wonderful masterpiece, again another organic piece of art! I would love to see more pieces using originality. I was even impressed Marc and Dave even gotten a photo with Andy Warhol, a dynamic wonder that is!(will add a photo of that soon!)
