The Manics have always had this intellectual and romantic spirit about them.
I personally think this video is the band's mission statement/thesis.
Like they're saying.. "This is what we're about."
The video succeeds in that high-brow intellectuals will like it, but so will the lovestruck sentimentalists.
Let the other bands do flashy, "I'm on top of the f***ing world" cool as hell videos like Stereophonics "Dakota." The Manics have been there.
"It's Not War" video came across to me as timeless and beautiful.
