With flashing lights, tantalizing clothes, guns, and money we are swept in with the amazing visuals followed by an amazing song. Being stuck in the madness of it all, the two cast out of the garden of Eden, are now stuck in a hard place. Talking about the struggles and realizations for a second of fame, the journey is being separate from the belief in God and realizing that the struggle is the only thing that is going to keep you sane and allow for you to feel comfort in drugs and sex. The song Gods & Monsters plays as the basis for the second part of the short film. Looking at Lana, we see her as a stripper by night followed additionally by Adam as a gang member as well. Symbolism for Paradise on the corner store window, we are seeing the depiction of Adam working as a cashier at a corner store. The true casting down of Adam and Eve after they committed a sin and is forced to live amongst the Gods & Monsters of LA and try to survive. Once the apple was bitten, this was the switch from Body Electric to Gods & Monsters. When Adam joins in, we also see the scenes switch back and forth as well. However, during this we also see the scenes switch between the garden of Eden and true reality on earth. However, like the story goes in the bible, they are tempted to eat the apple of the tree of knowledge of good and bad. Dancing through the garden of Eden, we see the purest form of the two stars depicting themselves as Adam and Eve. While this is happening, the short film starts with Lana Del Rey and her co-star is playing an adaption of Adam and Eve. From Elvis to Marilyn Monroe, we are given visuals to the song all the while allowing the viewers to engage with the music a step further. Stuck in the reality of old Hollywood and the upper-echelon lifestyle, Body Electric pays homage to the celebrities that inspire her. For the first time ever, outside of music videos, we finally get to see the brain of Lana and others combined to finally put a story behind the music of Lana Del Rey.įollowing the story of Tropico, we are graced with the sense of Lana Del Rey getting back to her roots.
