Broken (1993 Film)
''Broken'' (informally known as ''The Broken Movie'') is a 1993 horror musical short film and long-form music video filmed and directed by Peter Christopherson. It is based on an idea by Trent Reznor, founder of industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, and is a companion piece to the 1992 Nine Inch Nails EP '' Broken''. The film features songs from ''Broken'' and is essentially a compilation of its music videos (the exception being "Last" and the two hidden tracks). The film, just 20 minutes in length, weaves the album's four music videos together via a violent "snuff film" framing sequence, concluding with an otherwise unreleased video for the EP's final song " Gave Up" to set the conclusion of the film's frame story to the song. Due to its extremely graphic content, ''Broken'' was never officially released, but was leaked as a bootleg which became heavily traded on VHS in the 1990s and more recently online. Reznor said that ''Broken'' makes the music video for " Happiness in Sl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wish Music Video
A wish is a hope or desire for something. In fiction, wishes can be used as plot devices. In folklore, opportunities for "making a wish" or for wishes to "come true" or "be granted" are themes that are sometimes used. Sociology Several cultures engage in customs that entail wish-granting, such as blowing out the candles on a birthday cake, praying, seeing a shooting star at night, tossing a coin into a wishing well or fountain, breaking the wishbone of a cooked turkey, blowing a dandelion, or writing wishes on a ribbon or a sky lantern. Many believe such wishes can only come true if they are kept a secret from other people. Others, on the other hand, believe that wishes come true only if they are told to someone else. Religion In Christianity, especially among Roman Catholic, Lutheran and Anglican denominations, believers pray novenas to request a favour they wish to obtain. Within Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, the Kalpavriksha trees were believed to have once held t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
