The GazettE - 'The Invisible Wall' Inter-Textual Reference

In The GazettE’s music video for ‘The Invisible Wall’ (left screen-shot), they include an inter-textual reference to ‘Kill Bill’ (right screen-shot). This is executed through their use of a traditional Japanese sliding door, blue “colour correction”, and a silhouette created by the lighting and the door. The GazettE’s music video is heavily influenced by traditional Japanese culture - they are also a Japanese band - whilst ‘Kill Bill’ is also influenced by this and even focuses on Japanese fighting styles and techniques. So, the inter-textual reference is relevant and makes sense.

The GazettE - 'The Invisible Wall' Highlight

I find the use of silhouettes in the music video for ‘The Invisible Wall’, by The GazettE, to be rather interesting. In this case, they had the guitarist standing on the other side of some traditional Japanese sliding doors, and added red lighting. They most likely did this to make reference to their nationalities culture, as The GazettE is a Japanese ‘Rock’ band. However, this is an interesting concept, and I could use silhouettes in my music video, but use something other than Japanese sliding doors.
