All – Star Blog

“(1:23-1:30)- This scene is contradictory to it’s meaning. BTS is in this celebratory state, such as Jhope throwing the cake at RM, when in actuality this scene represents the attacks one receives from seeking justice similar to how society/government reacts when one is trying to confront injustice. (One example in American society: police brutality)

(1:32- 1:40) – All the other members, besides Jin, are going up the stairs. Jin represents the ones who have died due to the accident. He is at the bottom of the stairs watching the others climbing up and growing up unable to live life with them.

(1:43-1:47) – This scene shows Jungkook in front of a worn down Merry-Go-Round which symbolizes a loss of childhood. The lyrics keep saying “I miss you, I miss you.”

(2:00-2:12) – These collective scenes shows the daily lives of the survivors. The lyrics captures the empty feelings of the survivors, “how many sleepless nights do I have to spend to see you” as well as counting the days they can see their loved ones “until the days of the spring”.”

This excerpt is from the blog where we were supposed to dissect a music video that speaks to us and look for meaning and purpose of the art. This blog stood out to me because I remember spending a lot of time  watching the music video and writing down everything I saw and then researching a little bit. I was not disappointed. I found about a beautiful and tragic meaning that was conveyed through the music video and was struck by the visual metaphors incorporated in the video.

But I also love all my other blogs as well. I feel like every blog made me think about the society we live in and enlightened me about my surroundings for the better or worse. Reading my peers blogs was also interesting because they have different perspectives as you. Overall, these blogs really educated me and I feel more enlightened than before.
