So has anybody noticed the severe flaw in the new Coldplay video?

You know the one that's all backwards. It doesn't make any sense. By the end of the video, you realize that he and his girlfriend were in a serious car accident when their BMW rolls down a hill. But because it's backwards she flies back through the windshield, they roll up the hill and drive down the street. But while they're driving and after they've crashed, the car is in perfect condition. Yet it's all smashed as it's tumbling over and over.

???

Were they not paying attention to details or is there something I'm missing?

And another thing, if this is supposed to read like a backwards narrative, why would he leave the site where his girlfriend died and go skipping around town like nothing's wrong. Disturbing. confuse

I haven't seen this...is it supposed to be the same sort of thing as Memento?

I just went to mtv.com and watched the video..you're right, after the car accident, the car is in perfect condition except for the windshield..I guess they thought no one would notice??

As for him wandering around town after the accident, maybe he was in shock. confuse

I think the song is called "The Scientist" or something.

Im pretty sure it was done on purpose, the whole scene doesnt exactly make sence.

There might be a flaw in that video, but there sure as heck isnt any in their music.. I LOVE THAT ALBUM

It's only a music video. Coldplay are shit. Get over.
There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently

I'm not saying I like them even. I'm just saying that technical errors like this won't go unnoticed!
