The semi-hypnotic swimming sequences in Taylor Swift‘s Patient Zero music video and the 44-year-old For Your Eyes Only main-title sequence (starring the silky-voiced Sheena Easton) are fairly similar. The main difference is that Swift’s video is quaking with intense loathing for Colin Farrell‘s wicked husband while Easton’s is about devotional worship for Roger Moore‘s 007 and his phallic, long-barrelled pistol.
A secondary difference is that Easton’s aquatic dream sequence is far more pleasurable to watch (more lulling and otherworldly) than Swift’s.
I like this musical performance piece even more than the Easton:
