If you have watched eufororia or seeing videos about it
You might have noticed that there res a lot of references to popular culture in series
And when i say a lot
I mean a lot with drake and film studio eight twenty four being co producers
You would expect a few drake songs here and there combined with some nice fish walls
But eufororia was like lets take it to a whole new level or example into your choice of music by mixing song from contemporary hip hop artists with other johnnies
And on top of that in the use of fishal references to movies
Music videos and popular series
Thats why i wanted to have a closer look to see how euphoria is referring to these forms of popular culture
And to find out what exactly they are meaning it
So now lets get into it
Often times i hear people talking about how euphoria is just copying all these movies and leading of their success
But is euphoria actually copying all these elements in short
Maybe yes
But heres the thing
There is a distinct difference between copying and stealing
Let me explain
You might know a famous quote by painor public picasso
Who said lesser artist
Barrow and great artist
Still al what memeant by this is a bad artist
Just take something without changing it at all and pretend like its theirs a great artist
However take something thing ggeous things here in there and perhaps put it in a different context and tries to make something better and above all something unique
So how is you for are actually doing this
Thats have a look at a couple things
That are pretty cool
My
My pin first off the soundtrack which is kind of fire
The soundtrack
Feature songs and samples from so many different artists
Like billy iolish drake
The megos
Jid dojiccat you name it and its probably on there these modern songs are than mix with classical music or even some frank and attra
This is very similar to have a movie waves used music by frank ocean and tamin pola to combine sounds from different generous the camera man of waves also worked on eufororia and a movie is staring alexandomme in some taxic relationship
The artist that created the iconic sound of euphoria
However is called labyrth his voice is running like a threat through the entire series
Some of these songs are even becoming character specific like the nake growing up sound
Every time you hear that sound
It symbolizes that natest about a shows as up to the party
The titles of the songs
Often times also matched the feelings and thoughts of these characters at a certain moment
Like the songs still know my name rereerring to both unrequited love and these characters searching for the true versions of themselves
In this way
The music is sort of becoming part of the characters
Which is pretty relatiable
I think on a visual level euoriia is doing this in a similar way
Because the most ingenious aspect of the show besides the music
Because the finitely the cinemaography
You could take a single shot out of the show
And almost immediately recognize its euphoria
Because of the colors to camera movement
The setting and clothing or no clothing at all
And its those recognizable elements that euphoria loves to play with there are so many movies
Series tv shows and music videos out there on the internet
That are available to everybody
Euphoria takes those memorable elements of our popular culture
Because they know that it is something
That the audience will recognize and have associations with and because of that
They are not only copying those elements
But also altering them in a way that fits the story
Take the famous mirror shot from a french movie
Am for example the scene where nay jacobs is growing up we see a young boy
Being fuelled by hatred turning into an absolute beast
Which not only relates tes to the movie
Laane visually
But also authematically
Because laanliterally means the hate
And one of the most powerful takeaways of the movie is that hate attracts hate
Which is exactly
What the character of nate is portrayying right from the beginning of the first episode
The tone as cinematic rules of the story are being lined out
In order to familiarized the viewer with the dreamy world were steabbing into we are seeing the elements
That we can expect to encounter more of in later episodes
Like the slow motion sequences or flashbacks in a free flow ing camera movements
In some cases
It is almost as if the camera becomes a person of its own in this interview director sam
M
Levson explaplawhy why wanted to kind of bring in little bit of this this other world
When rue gets really high
Shes able to kind of enter this place
You know sort of between life and death
Or she can reununite her father
Ther way way of using a cameras
Some sort of a host st was also explored by director gas burn away in a movie
Enerre avoid where he goes into theme
Such as drug use life
Death and the after life
对对对
Another remarkable thing is the use of color
Lighting and color are used as a way of portraying emotional states of characters
Sam
Levinson and cameron man muscle rev established a color system
Quite early on so that is not all just sunshine and ramos literally
They mostly use primary colors
Blue
Yellow and red as their basis
But the most notable color of the show is purple
Red is often used in situations of danger
But also when feeling
Passion
Warmth or other strstrm feelings
While blue is representing anxious feelings or more so the stillness and lack of feeling
This constant fluctuation of color and emotion is especially symbolized by the opening shot of rule and the various use of red blue and purple on our face
This use of color also seems to be inspired by the neon demon
Which is a horror movie about an aspiring models
Journey in the dark corners of the fashion industry
Ephoria takes this concept and applies it to teenagers in high school
Because when youre young emotions are fleeting and can change on a diame
Especially when under the info of drugs
The third aspect
I wanted to talk about are the storyline at themms
Because the way the story is told
Euphoria is often times like a so called stream of consciousness
Where the audience is reading the minds of these characters
But jumping from one event to the other
Every episode dives deeper in the lives and relationships of these characters
Which are starting to inner trin with each other as the story progresses especially in a storyline of rule
We get to experience the complexity of the mind
Because she is addicted to drugs
Her memories
We can to blend with each other
Creating this allusionatory form of storytelling where you see all these memyies flash by while she is talking about them in a voice over the scene at the party in episode one
Where shes walinto the hallway
While being high is a reference to a movie inception a movie about exploring alternate realities in a dream
Within a dream
Within yyet another dream
Besides to compare some between the character of neate and the story of laan mentioned earlier
There are two references
Which i think are very interesting
Thethematically the first one is a comparison between casthe and perhaps
The main character of danny in midsummer
While she is having a panic attack
And also the character of auphilia in shakepipierce mmlet play
Where she ends up in a state of madness
Due to hamlets actions
What a fuck is wrong with you
Okay
This also coinsides with the meaning of the flowers because in middsummer flowers
Symbolize life and death in the scenes
Gasi and danny
No longer sacrifice themselves for the love of others
But instead embrace a new fond love and finally start to flourish by accepting themselves a portrait
Like this was also inspired by the aesthetic of mexicum eurals
Like this one
Another reference seems to be the relationship between ruw and jewels that so far kind of resembles
The story of romeo and jeel
Yet but lets not get too far ahead ourselves ves these references are being used to show the character ter situand relarelationships in a metaphorical away or to lockey make fun of them like the game of phone reference to catch relationship
Fantasies euphoria is not the only one that is doing this because another great series that is king at referencing pop culture is of course
Yeyeboa
Sponge bob much like in the sympsoms in southbar
You must be talking to me
Sponge bob knows how to reference bop culture
Look at this reference to terarty nose movie kill bill bill example or day did had hasele hot from bawatch in the sponge bob movie
Go go you moboh this process of paying home mage or referring to elements of other works is called by the fancy word intertexuality in season two of euphoria
They even referenced ariarious pieces of art
So after all some might still argue that euphoria is an unrealistic and glorifying portrayal of teenage lives
Well if youve watch to show youre over certain its not glorifying drug abuse
Because some scenes are messed up and pretty heart breaking
You did this to me
The creator of euphoria was a recovering adult
Himself too so its clear
His goal isnt glorification
But yes i agree in some aspects
The show is unrealistic
Its certainly not like my high school times
The lighting is definitely not like this in high school dorms or guys sitting around with
With other
But
But sometimes instead of trying to mimic reality
Imagination and fiction are better at conveying certain emotions and the feeling of the real than realiism
Itself isnt that why we love fiction and movies at the end of the day
With reality you can only go so far
But as soon as you tap into fiction
You can explore ore way more than reality could ever do
I coulcover ver the references in euphoria
Because there are so many of them
