I've occasionally watched this video for years, but never before now noticed that the brick that was pushed out is suddenly pushed in again when the video goes into the multiple screens.
Which doesn't impact me loving this video by any stretch of the imagination. Eh... forget I mentioned it.
Video about past. About yesterday, the day before it, the day before it... You can run away, but, slowly, it will follow you to the end, making your day same as itself.
Dont change you future, change your past, the future is the past, just like a mirror.
my band teacher was telling us that ravel made this song by a bet the bet was that he could make a 10 min. song only using one melodic verse and chorus
i gotta listen to this thing for my music hour :( i relly dont get what u people like at it anyways i dont listen to this thing but im forced to X( stupid teacher
I just CANNOT realize why SO FEW PEOPLE listen to such music. Dudes, face it, THAT`S THE REAL MUSIC. Not Justin Bieber, not Green Day, not Lady Gaga, not all these modern, dick-sucking COMMERCIAL MOTHERFUCKERS!
I do! I love GaGa and all that too, but this has to be one of my favorite songs ever! (Do not love the Bieb, but he's a Canuk so rock on!) Bolero is such a playful song! I love how beautifully slow it gets to its climax. Like good sex. Anyways, I can appreciate both.
@Bewegungmaffel The only reason I know of this song is because my band director is crazy and thinks that high schools kids (who don't practice) can play this.....
oh and if youve got to smoke weed in order to understand to appreciate this you're just like the animal in the cartoon... anyone who's high can find things "deep" and interesting, the real challenge is to see it like that while you're sober and healthy. stoners are all losers anyway, all weed is treated with chemicals and makes you stupid and weak
its meaning is that we're all chasing our own tail in the end. read the book of ecclesiastes, look up existentialism. or it could just be random shit. idk. it's one of those artsy things lol... i like when he eats and the food goes through his whole tail, and then shits and flushes. the end is supposed to show that we're all being watched and assured we keep chasing our tail not noticing the world around us.
it is the tedium of everyday life my friend... as it seems like the same all the time but it really builds into a beautiful crescendo until the very end...
Its a weird looking creature following his own tail. YOU are making up all the moral and deep lessons the animation "has". It's funny how a simple situation can make some people come up with the most deep understandings of live, death, society, bla bla bla. just because they THINK that such an animation SHOULD have something to teach us.
Maybe it's not about thinking that an animation should have something to teach us, maybe it is about people who have creative minds and look at animations and art with their own eyes, wether it was supposed to be meaningful to begin with or not.
Cartoons of the former USSR have been officially approved by Vatican for educational purpose because of their deep sense and high moral. I am proud we grew up on these cartoons and I hope, Russia will take over this old good tradition.
The video show we're slaves of the modern society. We individuals are only radars in the big machine. We do the same every day, we go to work. Let the economy grow because we keep it alive while working. We go on vacation, we are planning everything!
Try to see it from upstairs in stead of being a part of it ;-)
I'm a part of it all, but I can see it.. Do you?
Is my comment studid? because I've smoked weed 10 minutes ago XD
@Bullsseye I see the video as what we do our whole life. We all basically do same things all over again. Have you noticed how little ball in the corner appears near the end of the video? It's the same scene which video has started with. It's all one endless loop. In short it says: you born, go to school, get a job, make new babies, grow old and die and that babies do the same thing all over again. Though everything doesn't have to happen at all except dieing.
The figure is going constantly the same way, walks behind himself, goes in circles, constantly, without stopping, it goes on and on, as the music does, constantly the same melody, the same sentence..... :)Only in this film it stops now and then to eat something, go to the bathroom, and go on, again... :) I performed this music once in an orchestra, and that was not easy, because it was all the time the same, almost the same. But also exciting. That is the power of this dance.
I think that the message is to learn from your mistakes, otherwise you will just go around and around in circles - reminds me of history: you reap what ya sow, and far too often we sow the wrong seeds (read *war*, *dictatorship*, *famine* and all the rest of it....). Worse still, having sowed them once and not observed the bad harvest, we then sow them again.
this version of "Bolero" is like a grunge version. the original bolera is goin from zero sound to final loudest volume. there are no ups and downs only up ;>)
It is fantastic. It pictures our inability to see beyond daily life, to realize what we are really after, to notice and repair our own mistakes; it represents the dificulty we find in breaking inertia. The continuity of Ravel's masterpiece sets the pace wonderfully. The end wraps it up, multiplicating the image as to show us everybody is acting the same way. Absolutely fantastic.
over analysis. makes giants of grasshoppers. or maybe just personal perception. how much could we read into a blank piece of 8 1/2x11 paper? nothing unless someone calls it art or we are told we are supposed to get a deeper meaning out of it. interesting thing to ponder.
Some people just like to fantasize, think in metaphore, think about life. It can be entertaining and a good way to "kill time". I love metaphoric creative thinking, and that comes up in so many cases when I think, this is just one of many and it doesnt always just happen with animation or other art. I like to explain in metaphore very often too, or wonder about my life in metaphore. Yes I am artistic lol
It feels like the beast is a systeme that goes around in a vicious circle and the others like the mouse and the spider are profiting to do what they want. I expect that the ending is the sudden death of the beast (Killed mostly by the victims of the mouse and the spider), in the end I can say that the music is good for a purpos, it's like if it was good just to keep the beast turning arround .... very nice video indeed :)
