This is heavy rock band, Metallica's "One". The song is based on the anti-war book "Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo. The video is simply footage of the band playing in a warehouse featuring typical rockband close-ups and low angle shots interspersed and layered with clips, including audio, from the movie.
This forms strong links between the audio and visuals and is very iconic of a heavy metal band. There are also a lot of close-ups of their hands playing their instruments which is usual for this type of music video. It follows a lot of the forms and conventions of a video of its type with the added movie clips included to give the song its full meaning.
The movie clips are sometimes colour and sometimes in black and white when focusing on the man in the hospital bed. To compliment this the band playing are also filmed in black and white to tie it all nicely together.
