1. Childish Gambino This Is America

Childish Gambino's 'This is America' music video depicts the myth of a carefree America, in which life is easy and stable, even though violence claims too many black lives, writes Issac Bailey.

The music video for 'This is America' capped an important weekend for Donald Glover.

Glover released the 4-minute opus under his musical alter-ego Childish Gambino, after performing the song on NBC's 'Saturday Night Live.' It launched a storm of conversation on social media and quickly became one of the most trending videos on YouTube.

Like much of Glover's work, 'This is America' is cryptic and loaded with shocking imagery and metaphor. The track's tone swerves from happy-go-lucky psalmic readings to more alarming verses. In typical Glover fashion, he dismissed close readings of his work in an interview at the Met Gala Monday night.

'I just wanted to make a good song,' Glover told E!. 'Like something that people could play on Fourth of Julys.'

Directed by his frequent 'Atlanta' collaborator Hiro Murai and choreographed by Sherrie Silver, the music video touches on gun violence, the precarious state of black bodies in the US, and how we've historically used entertainment to distract us from pervasive cultural and political problems. But the music video's iconoclastic images and many layers deserve close examination to fully parse.

Here are 24 things you may have missed.

Less than a minute in, Gambino strikes a pose and kills a guitarist with a bag over his head.

It happens just as the video drastically shifts from a cheerful to aggressive tone.

Some initially believed the guitarist was Tracy Martin, the father of slain teen Trayvon Martin. But he's actually played by Calvin Winbush, a Los Angeles-based musician and actor.

The pose resembles Jim Crow.

As noted by several people on Twitter, including 'Dear White People' creator Justin Simien, the pose resembles a classic illustration of Jim Crow, the fictional racist character that characterized African-Americans as 'lazy, stupid, and inherently less human.' The character was created and performed by Thomas D. Rice in the early 1800s at early minstrel shows.

Later, the term 'Jim Crow' referred to a series of racist segregation laws that emerged during the Reconstruction Era.

The evocation may be a reflection on what just transpired: Glover dances around while a black man played guitar, entertaining the viewer, but the threat of violence against African-Americans is inextricable from that entertainment.

Or it could be a reference to Michael Jackson.

Others feel the pose evokes Michael Jackson in his 1991 music video for 'Black or White.'

Another part of 'This is America' also resembles 'Black or White.'

Near the end of the video, Glover is dancing on top of a car, and it's similar to Jackson's moves in the 'Black and White' video, as well.

Michael Jackson also dances on top of a car.

Glover has riffed on Michael Jackson before, most notably in the 'Teddy Perkins' episode of his FX show 'Atlanta.' He seems to see Jackson as a black man aggressively groomed for show business, that may have also had a violent underside.

Gambino hands his gun to someone who takes it away in a cloth, while the body he shot is dragged away.

It's representative of guns being treated with care and priority while black bodies don't get the same dignity.

That it's red is also significant.

Glover could have picked any color for the fabric. He chose red, INSIDER's Alana Yzola theorizes, because it's representative of Republican-dominated states, which she says often value guns over black lives.

He's shirtless for a reason.

Glover's exposed torso is there to remind us that he is black and vulnerable, according to Yahoo's Ken Tucker.

'Glover wants to remind us that violence is committed against black bodies like his with some regularity and with no heed to whether the body in question is that of a celebrity or an ordinary citizen,' Tucker writes.

Notice the buttons on his pants?

Glover's clothing choices are also loaded with meaning. As one Twitter user suggested, Glover's pants seem inspired by a particular pair of trousers worn by Confederate soldiers . And his yellow shoes may also be a reference to canvas shoes worn by Confederate soldiers.

Glover's garments are a reminder of the historical violence inflicted upon African-Americans, and his dancing serves to highlight the ways we're continually distracted from that history.

At around the minute mark, action begins to take off in the background.

Childish Gambino This Is America

The video shifts in tone as Glover dances past the guitarist he shot. Black men run across the warehouse-like room as people drive by in a car. The background becomes increasingly busy and frenetic as the video continues.

Someone dancing on top of a car shoots what looks like dollar bills out of a toy gun.

It could be a commentary on Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old African-American boy who was shot by Cleveland police in 2014. Glover could also be drawing a connection between violence, entertainment, and profit in capitalism.

Gambino kills a black church choir, evoking the Dylann Roof shooting.

In another shocking turn, Glover mows down a church choir with an assault rifle. It's an image that seems to reference the killing of nine people at a predominantly African-American church by white supremacist Dylann Roof in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015.

The gun is an AK-47.

Roof used a Glock pistol in his massacre, but the AK-47 — used by Glover in the video and originally created to kill masses of people in war — is a weapon of choice for mass shooters in America.

Once again, the gun is whisked away with care on a red cloth.

Even after the Roof massacre, the United States failed to pass a single law restricting gun ownership.

Glover may be sending a message about how the US prioritizes the protection of guns over the protection of black bodies. Glover moves fluidly from violent act to violent act, just as America does with mass shootings.

Two minutes in, he reveals a new tattoo.

Glover has had a tattoo that reads 'Truth is a power' — a reference to the works of Kierkegaard— for a few years now. In this video, he debuts a new one above it, written in a script font, which appears to say 'Love is a passion.'

Someone commits suicide in the background.

As Glover and the kids are dancing, someone leaps off the railing and apparently commits suicide. The images of smiling, dancing black children nod to the ways that black cultural production is often commodified and appropriated by white audiences.

Throughout the video, Glover's dancing serves as a distraction from the awful things happening around him. He and the kids around him seem to be performing a variation on the Gwara Gwara, a South African dance Rihanna famously performed at the Grammys this year.

Glover seems to be saying that America uses entertainment provided by its black celebrities as a distraction from the death and violence it forces on its black citizens. It also sends a message about the ways that the lives of black Americans are often devalued in our culture. As Vibe writer Bianca Salvant notes, 'It is relevant to ask why their bodies are worth more on a field or court than on the streets of America.'

He raps 'This is a celly/That's a tool.'

As he raps those verses, the camera pans up to show multiple kids holding cell phones.

The line could have multiple meanings.

The next verse, 'On my Kodak,' referring to the film brand, could refer to how the proliferation of cellphones allows people to capture images of police violence.

It could also be a reference to the March 18 police shooting of Stephon Clark, an unarmed black man holding a cell phone.

Or it could refer to prison cells — the warehouse where the music video takes place somewhat resembles a prison — which are used as tools of oppression.

Death gallops by on a white horse.

The image appears to be a reference to verse 6:8 in the Book of Revelation, the last book in the New Testament. In the King James translation, it goes like this:

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

A police car follows death on the horse, perhaps symbolizing the tacit connection between police violence and death for black Americans.

After pretending to open fire, there are 17 seconds of silence, possibly for the victims of the Parkland shooting.

Glover poses as if he's about to kill the children who were dancing around him, but he isn't actually holding a gun.

The song comes to a halt, and Glover strikes up a joint to smoke. There are 17 seconds of silence, which some on Reddit interpret as a moment of respect for the 17 victims of the February shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida.

Did you notice the screen corners?

If you look closely, you'll notice that the edges of the screen have started to curve in — timed perfectly to the point at which Glover shoots the guitarist on screen. It's a visual cue, meant to evoke a sense of claustrophobia and unease.

At this point in the video, the corners push back once again.

This scene represents the apex of that transition. Once Glover pauses, the corners start spreading back out, and the camera begins to pan away.

Hey, it's SZA.

SZA shows up sitting on a car in the next scene wearing a dress by French fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier. She also posted an image from the set on Instagram. It's not really clear why she's there, but it may hint toward a future collaboration between the pair.

Many of the cars have the driver's door open.

It could be representative of how African-Americans are often forced to pull over and step outside of their vehicles by police officers. Black drivers are asked to pull over at higher rates than white drivers, according to research from Stanford University.

All of the cars are old.

As Adrienne Gibbs notes in Forbes, all the cars in the video are models from the '80s and '90s. Not everyone can afford the new, flashy cars in most rap music videos. It may also be a commentary on the American obsession with capitalist consumption.

The ending of the video draws comparisons to 'Get Out.'

The final scene of the video shows Glover running from what seems to be white riot police officers.

Some people understood it as him running from 'The Sunken Place' from 'Get Out,' a metaphysical place that holds the black consciousness while a white mind takes over a black person's body.(When Glover performed the song on 'Saturday Night Live,' 'Get Out' star Daniel Kaluuya introduced him.) It could be read as Glover trying to escape simply being a body to be used by white people for distraction.

Another reading understands it as Glover as a slave running through the woods, which may hold a similar metaphorical meaning.

And some viewers read the scene as being directly connected to the pause in the video where Glover lights a joint. In the end, Glover says, police care more about black men using drugs than gun violence. And it's an especially prescient message when, according to the NAACP, 'African-Americans represent 12.5% of illicit drug users, but 29% of those arrested for drug offenses and 33% of those incarcerated in state facilities for drug offenses.'
