I don't understand the concept of the video, he gets picked up by a girl, goes to a diner, looks through her phone, goes to a motel room, thinks she's going to kill him, starts choking her, looks down and she's not there, so he kills himself, then it rewinds and she picks him up again. Perhaps I'm missing the concept and I think it's a good video I just am having trouble understanding the meaning.
CALLED IT!

id get it either
Take away my gun, I'm gonna tuck some other shit
Can't tell me shit about the tricks of this trade

He's already dead, he just keeps replaying that situation over and over again. She cheated on him, and he killed her and killed himself. He keeps reliving it. Only, the second Eminem is basically the one who keeps wanting to change everything, but it keeps ending up that way because in the end, no matter what, Em kills her then kills himself. The second Eminem is basically a spectator, him looking back I guess and wanting to change shit but can't. That's why the second Eminem is always the one who is rapping.

At least, that's what I think.

How could she have cheated on him when they just met? In the beginning of the video she picks him up on the road to give him a ride. They're talking like they just met. There's nothing personal about the way they interact. Also the second Em who's observing everything looks really angry when he gets in the back of the car not like someone who is remorseful and wants to change things.

What I got from the video is that he's a paranoid, psycho killer who thinks the woman is going to kill him (hence the shots of him looking suspect at the gun she has and anonymous messages she's receiving.) The second Em is his multiple personality telling him not to trust this bitch because she's going to kill him (hence the evil look in the back of the car.) When they get to the hotel room he figures he has to kill her before she kills him but it turns out she was just a figment of his imagination. He realizes she's not there and that he's lost his mind so he kills himself. I assume when he was walking down the road in the beginning he probably just escaped a mental hospital. That's my theory :D

No matter which way to arrive at the conclusion that you shouldn't fuck with anybody...
I'm out of the matrix and I improved my music taste here, I opened my eyes and discovered so different ways to see the world, thanks to you all!

They didn't just meet. She picked him up, I think I recall it being confirmed that Em and Sasha's characters were in a relationship before the video released. I originally thought what you said too, but I don't think it makes a whole lot of sense that way, because then why would he follow her after he saw the text?

Who was the relationship confirmed by? Unless it was the director, Sasha or Em I'd say that was speculation. There was nothing to suggest they were in a relationship. If so, why was she picking him up like a hitch hiker and why in the car was he making small talk like he was talking to a stranger? But using my theory if your a paranoid and losing your mind (hallucinating about wolves in the beginning of the video) why not follow her to the hotel room? He followed her in the restaurant after seeing her with the gun.

the video has a couple of mistakes that I've mentioned before in another thread....anyway..

-when he falls out the window,He was sitting far from the window and when he begins to fall he is still very far from the window... :unsure:

-he wears the watch in his right hand all the video ,except when he is opening the door and there is a close up of the watch,you can see suddenly is on his left hand.

apart from this there is a thing that I don't understand,when they are in the hotel room and he opens the door and then turns out angry but there is nothing outside...

For all this reasons the video is just ok for me ,but not a great video...
In the land of the killers, a sinner's mind is a sanctum.
