10 Great Music Videos That Would Make Even Better Films

3. Pearl Jam - Jeremy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS91knuzoOA The beautiful, yet often unintelligible lyrics of Eddie Vedder weave a chilling tale of a bullied child, the eponymous Jeremy. The video has a very dark, gritty tone as we enter into the troubled mind of young Jeremy, a boy who is taunted and bullied by his classmates at school. Jeremy is a high-budget visceral tour-de-force of a music video, incorporating various techniques such as fast paced editing and graphic and text elements to create a narrative montage effect. It€™s an intense pressure cooker of a video which builds up to the harrowing finale where Jeremy takes his own life in front of his classmates. A gritty film adaptation would not go amiss.
