Being connoisseurs of cool old stuff, we noticed that even her most outlandish imagery in the head-spinning video for “Born This Way” owes a great debt not only to Madonna’s “Express Yourself,” but also to works of science fiction, movie history, famous artworks, television, camp culture, and religious artifacts throughout the 20th century and beyond. Picking up where The Atlantic and Flavorpill left off, I enlisted my science-fiction nerd and film buff friends to help me do an even deeper dive of the inspirations for the video, most of which are crammed into the first two minutes.
