The magpie represents lustful yearnings for freedom, and the owl represents what remains after one hits the hard reality of life, the owl failed in its own adolescent pursuit of coital bliss, and settled down. It now has a burning hatred of all who attempt in the endeavour it has failed. If he cant have it, no one can.
It made me cry, because I feel trapped like that bird, because I have bad anxiety disorders and cannot escape, though I want to. The owl seems to have given up escape, and seeing the other bird try seems unreal or does not phase it. The make up seems like a metaphor for covering up.. or hiding.. like the owl seems to be doing.. and the crow/magpie has to accept it now.
@WinterCritter the thing is, the magpie doesn't seem like it will ever accept that. after i read the comment saying it's a bird which is attracted by shiny things, the video made me think that it's act is not conscious. it simply doesn't know why it wants it, and doesn't know why it can't have it. and it gave me the feeling that it doesn't have the ability to give up, because the urge will never give him a rest.
@WinterCritter even it drops down to the floor exhausted, the one thing on its mind will be that shiny thing. it seems like in a hopeless fight, trapped in a vicious circle that will go on and on forever. man, this is depressing :( yet also sounds like the metaphor of the most stubborn freedom fighter.
stop being insensitive and post constructively. i just hope you'll take this into consideration, even though this is only a youtube comment stream.
that being said, thoroughly enjoyable animation and song. the simplistic style really works. also, the string/guitar sync-up at 0:17 is a great way to start a video.
Two mortal enemies one tied by a string while the other observes from his perch...I think the owl tied the crow and is sadistically enjoying the crow struggle...having some fun with his dinner :)) yet again the owl could be someones pet and likes to feed it in a sadistic manner...who knows, it's a pretty cool animation at that...
@murderousbastard83 Yeah, mellodramatic is pretty spot on. Though even if most of the gay folks you know are mellodramatic, I disagree if you think that all/most gay people are :)
Just one interpretation, but - the raven/crow/magipie is a person striving for freedom and fulfillment in a culture that keeps these out of reach and instead throws scraps and garbage in its face (ie, any modern western culture);
The owl sees the trap but knows it would not be able to communicate this to the crow/whatever even if it wanted to - it is the person who sees the system for what it is (and is therefore already 'free' in some way).
No one knows what's behind the light. It's the owl that wants to live in ignorance as it is just watching. It's better to try reach at something that is unlikely to happen than keep passive and just to wait for your end. Maybe the raven is taking the wrong approach, but it's still trying.
Its about escape - even if the effort is foolish vain dangerous the raven never stops but the owl is wiser and knows he too is tethered and can never leave...
You guys are all wrong! This is just a parody of saw (you know, that weird psycho movie) The owl is jicksaw and he is torturing the raven for in 5 minutes he will explode, that's why he's so desperate. xD
@playedescapade holy crap as soon as you said that i could totally see that to like an ending scene like how they do the muted endings with a song after somethin crazy happend (while jesse was sitting on the couch about ready to explode) haha
At first I didn't really understand it until I read some of the comments that were posted.
But I can now see that the raven was representing us and our "need" of materialistic belongings,while the owl seemed a bit more relaxed as he could see what the raven was too blind to see, that being that we don't need material possessions to make us happy, when all we have to do is look around and see what we've already got, friends, family... Each other. The art was great, who ever put this video togeth
All that represent the BAVARIAN ILLUMINATI.. the owl is wisdom ,, the raven the human without it.. the cutter is GOD(religion) .. all the under the eye.. the EYE OF HORUS..the humans will never reach the light..ever
Ravens are usually considered as one of nature’s most clever creatures. Yet here, You can clearly see its desperation. Tied down at the ankle, it tries its best to reach for freedom as the entire clutter is flying past. Even the choice of colors has its own meaning here. Black to white, an extreme distance to extreme close-up. An illusion, that gives us a false hope of reaching something we will never be able to obtain.
the owl represents wisdom,the light is in his eyes, he doesnt need the clutter and junk to be happy, the raven never actually looks at anything, he is just blinded by the light, he just want to get at the light because it looks nicer than the dark, he doesnt care about what is better for himself, he represents human nature.
open your minds! the raven represents the human race trying to see passed all the materialistic garbage thats destroying our planet and keeping us from evolving.
the owl is a hunter who can see in darkness, works under darkness.
it should make everyone angry that we may all never see the true light, what its like to live in peace with no worries. Unless we open our eyes and minds.
i don't get it. owls supposed to eat smaller birds, like this one. am i wrong? however, it's a stunning piece of art even if i can't see what's the point. with all the representing stuffs, the owl should eat the other bird. really.
Would you get out of your personal comfort zone and help yourself and the people around you? So many people are watching horrible things happen and they never say anything, they never stand up and say: hey, this is wrong, lets try to make it right.
Instead they sit in the dark and are too self-centered, small-minded or scared to speak their mind and change things. Why bother, I'm quite alright, I might get in trouble. Go on, owl, a little light won't hurt you, fly to help.
I see the raven as humanity trapped by their consumerism, the owl represents corporate greed / big business... staring, as we can not escape the clutches of what we are TOLD we "NEED" in our lives... The owl has us trapped, and makes it difficult (if not impossible to escape it), and exit though the light (or enlightenment) and the owl fiendishly knows this.

@MrJonnielights The video isn't stolen, it was created by Emmanuel Ho for this song. Check out his website, he uses this song specifically. I haven't checked out Apparat's song, but I think this song fits the video perfectly. It's ominous music for one really bad ass looking owl. LOL
this video is a representation of suffering and non suffering. THe raven wants light, the raven wants freedom. The owl sits and accepts, the owl is not suffering. This reminds me of the teachings of buddha and how life involved suffering. It reminds me of that saying that life is imperfect.
@MentallyUnsanitized Not if it's artistically done. Just as a generic black silhouette. Either way, I don't think it's supposed to be a single TYPE of bird.
I feel like stirring, nigga please the owl is moloch yo and dah ravens is all of us beings and the nwo gon kill us. Ok but seriously, this affected me.
Light= answers to basic questions of humanity existence,sense of life(impossible to reach(the rope), even if we trying to, the raven flyes hoping desperatly)
The Objects= our society
The Owl=two possibilities for me : the symbol of wisdom, knowing that it is useless to fly desperatly (those who decides to stay in the darkness) OR the death, we don't know when it's coming, but we cannot avoid it.
So, is there a possibility to cut this F******* rope!!!
. the objects getting on the crows face represent obstacles: addiction, material desire, and insecurities. The rope attached to the bird symbolizes the will to liberate ones self and accept the absurdness of life; a mechanical life. The owl since is a larger being represents a dominant force that can either be A. God looking with scorn at what society has become. or B. The government looking at their social creation (us), which is going according to plan since the rope never rips.
Ravens are known to collect shiny objects, which makes me believe it symbolizes greed, or consumerism, as it is flies through materialistic things trying to reach something it can never. the fact that the garbage is coming out of the window, indicates that the other side is not a greater place to be. but the raven wishes to go there, because contrary to the owl, it can't see in the dark. the owl and the raven are perfect counterparts, representing two entirely different kinds of people.
i totally see this completely different. I think this can be connected to a kind of conspiracy theory. or just an addiction over a powerless being. the white light has always signified "another side" or "pure freedom." The raven endlessly tries to fly towards it, never resting. yet, he is blindsided by many objects. yet, he keeps flying, unaware he can never make it there. while an owl- mind you- one without soul, because he has no eyes, dark and still watches one of his own, a bird, not fly.
You always want to believe that you have chosen the darkness. What if the society push you into the darkness? Everyday, in your daily life, just because you are this or that or something. Push, push, push for years. You find yourself in darkness then...
You love society but you have chosen the darkness? Individualism and the instruments of capitalism push you into the darkness.
I see the underlying theme here as hopeless struggle vs. calm acceptance. The crow is frantically flapping, desperate to reach the light. The items tumbling past form a metaphor, with the crow being an individual in modern society, influenced by various wants in life (lipstick being women, can tab being alcohol, etc.), mindlessly pushing to have more. Be "better." The owl represents those that have given up on these things. Those that accept themselves for who they are. They belong in the dark.
not looking into meaning deep or anything, but literally...
it looks like a crow that's tied to a string for the owl to hunt ((If there are bird hunting owls existing)). the owl is watching and waiting for the crow to tire out before catching and killing it.
the crow is doesn't want to die so it struggles for its life.
it looks like someone is throwing trash at the crow too... animal cruelty, not nice.
well either way one can never know what goes on in another persons mind. if you truly wish to know what the director "Emmanuel Ho" was thinking when he made this art then there is no better way but to ask. you can guess and make statements and assumptions all you like but its all coming from your mind. in another word a person only see's or perceives what he wants to at the time. as for the art, very well done. the director wanted to convey something through it. hence so many people talking.
And I love what the 2 highest rated comments wrote... but you guys are aware the owl is a predator, and in this situation would kill the raven, right?!
I think the Owl represents me having cunningly laid a trap for some unsuspecting woman to fall into and the raven is flapping so hard because well. . .. . . she doesn't wanna get raped!
hey yall what do you think that chapstick means? is it like vanity in the face of adversity? is it like how meaningless the raven';s dumabsas shit is ;ilah oh man this video is good and dep but the song kinda sux right yall i dont know im not a thinker or a philoshper but it see ms like this has something ddeep happening for it. im not sure though peace!
it seems like the owl is representing a teacher (dare i say it, god), the raven being the student (mankind?). no matter how much the raven struggles, the owl knows that the raven will have to accomplish the task at hand on his/her own to get a pure lesson .the raven is inching closer to light, rather than food, etc. The owl watches, seemingly imperceptibly quivering for the want it has to help the raven, but cannot. though it has the possibility of multiple meanings. very good video and song.

the rope will make it so he can never get what he wants
the objects represent the useless clutter that comes with wanting things
the owl represents knowledge knowing that just because somethings there it doesn't mean it's for the better
he sees through all the clutter where the raven just gets caught up in it all trying to reach something he never can
the owl can see without it

Ravens=humanity
Light= answers to basic questions of humanity existence,sense of life(impossible to reach(the rope), even if we trying to, the raven flyes hoping desperatly)
The Objects= our society
The Owl=two possibilities for me : the symbol of wisdom, knowing that it is useless to fly desperatly (those who decides to stay in the darkness) OR the death, we don't know when it's coming, but we cannot avoid it.
So, is there a possibility to cut this F******* rope!!!

. the objects getting on the crows face represent obstacles: addiction, material desire, and insecurities. The rope attached to the bird symbolizes the will to liberate ones self and accept the absurdness of life; a mechanical life. The owl since is a larger being represents a dominant force that can either be A. God looking with scorn at what society has become. or B. The government looking at their social creation (us), which is going according to plan since the rope never rips.

Ravens are known to collect shiny objects, which makes me believe it symbolizes greed, or consumerism, as it is flies through materialistic things trying to reach something it can never. the fact that the garbage is coming out of the window, indicates that the other side is not a greater place to be. but the raven wishes to go there, because contrary to the owl, it can't see in the dark. the owl and the raven are perfect counterparts, representing two entirely different kinds of people.

i totally see this completely different. I think this can be connected to a kind of conspiracy theory. or just an addiction over a powerless being. the white light has always signified "another side" or "pure freedom." The raven endlessly tries to fly towards it, never resting. yet, he is blindsided by many objects. yet, he keeps flying, unaware he can never make it there. while an owl- mind you- one without soul, because he has no eyes, dark and still watches one of his own, a bird, not fly.

You always want to believe that you have chosen the darkness. What if the society push you into the darkness? Everyday, in your daily life, just because you are this or that or something. Push, push, push for years. You find yourself in darkness then...
You love society but you have chosen the darkness? Individualism and the instruments of capitalism push you into the darkness.

I see the underlying theme here as hopeless struggle vs. calm acceptance. The crow is frantically flapping, desperate to reach the light. The items tumbling past form a metaphor, with the crow being an individual in modern society, influenced by various wants in life (lipstick being women, can tab being alcohol, etc.), mindlessly pushing to have more. Be "better." The owl represents those that have given up on these things. Those that accept themselves for who they are. They belong in the dark.

Well we see the first two parameters and trapped bird represents freedom
male being private, and the owl (Fig. oppressive of women) and very simple to
interpretation just watch it and you fully understood the message does "NOT MARRY"

I see a relationship. Where the owl is possessive, cruel, definitely a hunter. The raven is the victim by choice.... Just my vision.
vdvloversister 11 months ago
not looking into meaning deep or anything, but literally...
it looks like a crow that's tied to a string for the owl to hunt ((If there are bird hunting owls existing)). the owl is watching and waiting for the crow to tire out before catching and killing it.
the crow is doesn't want to die so it struggles for its life.
it looks like someone is throwing trash at the crow too... animal cruelty, not nice.

well either way one can never know what goes on in another persons mind. if you truly wish to know what the director "Emmanuel Ho" was thinking when he made this art then there is no better way but to ask. you can guess and make statements and assumptions all you like but its all coming from your mind. in another word a person only see's or perceives what he wants to at the time. as for the art, very well done. the director wanted to convey something through it. hence so many people talking.

I think the Owl represents me having cunningly laid a trap for some unsuspecting woman to fall into and the raven is flapping so hard because well. . .. . . she doesn't wanna get raped!

it seems like the owl is representing a teacher (dare i say it, god), the raven being the student (mankind?). no matter how much the raven struggles, the owl knows that the raven will have to accomplish the task at hand on his/her own to get a pure lesson .the raven is inching closer to light, rather than food, etc. The owl watches, seemingly imperceptibly quivering for the want it has to help the raven, but cannot. though it has the possibility of multiple meanings. very good video and song.
