Ren's musical genius on this is amazing. First, by introducing that first vocal bit from Violet's Tale he sets the stage for another storytelling song about generational abuse/damage. And then, even more brilliantly, when the quartet comes in they are playing strains of "For Joe", introducing the notion of su*c*de and foreshadowing what is shortly to come. And then the strings blend that with the Money Game refrain. In that musical moment Ren encapsulates all three parts of the Money Game. The money game is suicide. What a ride this has been. Blessings.
As a mom to a little boy, this broke me. I felt sad and hollow after. I never stopped seeing jimmy as a boy (admittedly the video didn’t want me to, calling him a boy of 40) we do a lot of work with little girls these days. Telling them how valuable they are, and that they can be anything. And I think jimmy’s life would have been very different if a single time, his dad had told him he had done enough, or that he was proud of him. Or had anyone take time to tell him he mattered no matter how much he made. Little jimmy was fast tracked because of his intelligence, so he didn’t even have the same peer experiences that could have helped shape his morality outside the one perspective that, not only led to his downfall, but robbed him of his childhood and meaningful relationships as well. I have to think the gun didn’t go off because I want to see that little glimmer of hope. Is it hopeful? I’ve asked this a bunch, and no one has answered me yet. I personally am not sure, but what do you think… is Jimmy redeemable?
"Turns a saint into a sinner, a child into a killer, his finger on the trigger of a money game." Money Game 1 I had to catch my breath after watching this one. I don't think there are words yet invented to describe Rens talent and passion to foster a better world. ❤😊❤
As amazing as this was, I'm even more impressed by the whole "Money Game 3" promotion he did in the week leading up to this video release. I didn't really have the time to get deeply involved in the puzzles, but the whole idea of Ren getting his fans involved in a collaborative problem-solving process and then that wild "livestream" finale was astounding. When Ren talks about wanting to change the world, he doesn't just talk the talk he walks the walk. And utterly briliant promotion for this video and his album; the mainstream music industry will never catch up to this.
Oh god, what can he not do. Genius, tragic& true 😓We need to change people 🙏 There is a saying” Don’t worry about anything because nothing belongs to you” 😌
A brilliant reaction befitting a brilliant song. Please check out his Seven Sins song. He sings in welsh at the start and its fuckin beautiful!! Ill say this here so others can find it.
Thank you for mentioning the intro! 😂 i got a lot of "Its too dark and satanic" lmao so i wanted to go for a more friendly feel with a good message haha. So i appreciate you! Sam was AMAZING for this video and it really shows what he can do! Amazing song and outcome all in all
The crazy thing is this part is created from a single verse in money game pt1. He took the lyrics and built an example from it and turned that into this masterpiece
This is a masterpiece and, quite possibly Ren's best work yet! So many emotions stirring inside me, so much to think about, so many conversations to be had! Ren always makes us think about uncomfortable things and he has my utmost praise for speaking out! Thanks for reacting ❤
I love how this is the story of Jimmy, and he has another famous story about 'James' (aka Screech). Both Jimmy and James played the money game, but Jimmy just had more opportunity to make it farther along.
I was just in shock after the premiere yesterday. Still haven’t recovered enough to have anything clever to say 😅 It’s not really a song I can imagine putting on to just listen to, but as a full visual performance it is an absolute masterpiece beyond anything I have ever seen. If Netflix doesn’t give Ren (along with Sam of course) a show, then they’re just idiots 😂 This would be a masterpiece in storytelling even if it wasn’t a one shot. It’s utterly mind blowing that they’ve accomplished this.
we need a balance for all people/That balance would get rid of the hoods, housing developments, and Free housing for the poor! Murder and robberies would go down 80% Prisons would not be even close to full. government would be cut in half. We all want small government but the balance is the only way to get it!!!
Great reaction! Ren still pointed the mirror back at us all not just the super rich. He never just accused but forces us to look at ourselves deeply within. Genius ❤
So glad to see you react to this, been looking forward to it for so long. I have watched this probably 40 times since it was released with reactions etc. so fucking good! He really is incredible! His voice and piano playing, the cinematography is insane! The album is amazing. Sickboi and TMBTE are joint album of the year! To think this was nearly a one shot with only one cut when they pan past the wheelchair before the rain scene. I can’t get over how good it is! 🖤
This was beyond art, entertainment and music a masterpiece in all the seemingly one take video by Sam the lyrical genius of Ren down to as Ren said the improto string orchestra behind him in the last segment. The Nilist spoken word. And the album dropping in in under 7 hours life is good. Amazing react Ben you too are great 👍
Sorry I didn't make the premier, I was watching Ren on Twitch, here for your reaction now though. This whole piece of art was creatively unique, skilful and beautifully profound. I can see why Ren said this was his favourite and I'd go as far as to say it's mine too now.🖤
Needs, wants and greed has been the decline of humanity. I get closer and closer to my "end of days" and I think I am glad that I will no longer be around when everything has collapsed completely. I kept wondering what will I be missing when people finally "get it"? I don't think I have to wonder anymore. There are still way too many humans that are just greedy. Just like Jimmy's father in this case. Where is the pride in Jimmy by his father with all he accomplished. After the good stuff Jimmy went off the rails and daddy dismisses him and I believe thinks him a loser. I think I know someone like that, selling lies seems more profitable for greedy and green hungry individuals.
It’s a precautionary tale, not always the end, like he said in hi ren......cause this life’s been tough so it gives me a purpose I can rest in ......Jimmy had no purpose for his wealth, if you do , wealth can be ok, but do it with a purpose besides just the money game
Lone Rager!! Always appreciate how expressive and enthusiastic you are when you watch a your facial expressions and body language speak louder than words. 😊Thank you for continuing to support this incredibly talented and visionary artist! Agreed 💯EPIC MASTERPIECE! 💔❤️🩹❤️
It wasn’t ’mostly’ one-shot takes… it was one continuous take. The set up and did this in 3 days. They only had one shot to get it right with the water dropping.
The only music video that comes close (and it’s not a one take) is Dimash’s The Story Of One Sky, which is epic and, at its bones, has a similar message.
Ecclesiastes 3 New International Version A Time for Everything 3 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
First time here, great reaction! Thank you for not pausing, in a reaction (at least for me) I like to let the pace of a song build before commenting. It adds so much more to the experience!
At the end.. the gun didn't fire. .It's the ultimate symbol of a money game (arms) and it failed. (my interpretation but I'd love to know if anyone heard different from Ren - I think he's playing chess and I'm playing checkers most of the time).
On a very much needed long term hiatus. Doing all of these as much as I did for so long crept up on me and burnt me out bad. That, and because honestly, RUclips is kind of garbage to their creators now. Its almost not fun doing it anymore. Which is sad, cause i was passionate. Im trying to search deep inside myself to come back and either keep doing these, or do something different. Either or, at some point in '24, things will be picking back up 🤙 thank you for checking in ☺️ always looked forward to your comments.
@@xRAGECXRCUSx I’m glad you pay attention to your mental health. I hope you find clarity. I have heard RUclips is really coming down on reactors. It’s a shame because it brings them a lot of traffic. You are one of my favorite reactors…and you introduced me to Sleep Token (my favorite new band of 2023). Selfishly, I hope your choice is to continue creating videos, but if it’s not, I wish you all the best in whatever you do.
Ummmm......... Jesus is the solution!........ ♥ Love ya! “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” ~ Romans 15:13
You're* If you're going to make an ass out of yourself by being another "know it all" that clearly has no idea how reactions work, then do yourself a favor and back up your bullshit and KNOW how to spell. I await your cyber warrior response. 🤘🙌
You should consider making your own content, exactly the way you like it done then and stop watching other people's reactions. Who are you to tell him how to react to his own experiences. Jog on troll!!!
Rain rain rain rain at the end, without actually singing it. Genius! :)

Yes that's Ren playing piano at the beginning! :)
In the Piano its an professional pianist name Michael if i not mistake
@Pedrorasti I think you're right. He mentioned it in the Twitch stream, right?
@@Pedrorasti Hetalked about it in his stream. It was mostly a professional pianist but that section at the beginning was Ren
@@MissRobinHansen The opening section was all Ren, the rest was the professional pianist
Considering this was all done live… it was Ren in the opening and then Charlie took over when he made Ren stop playing.
This song was over 9 minutes long. How did it feel like 3?
"Turns a saint into a sinner, a child into a killer, his finger on the trigger of a money game." Money Game 1
I had to catch my breath after watching this one. I don't think there are words yet invented to describe Rens talent and passion to foster a better world. ❤😊❤
Ren said it’s the last one. He loves the trilogy which is ironic because he also loves even numbers😂
It's live and almost 1 take. They had to do an edit just before the water for obvious reasons. :)
As amazing as this was, I'm even more impressed by the whole "Money Game 3" promotion he did in the week leading up to this video release.

The collaborative is what pumped him to #1 which he has earned and deserves. I am so looking forward to following his career!
Lol, I watched the premiere and at the end I said "that's it?!" 😅 I was just so sucked in
Oh god, what can he not do. Genius, tragic& true 😓We need to change people 🙏
There is a saying” Don’t worry about anything because nothing belongs to you” 😌
I'm still speechless 😂 this is beautiful madness of truth.. Hope you well ❤
A brilliant reaction befitting a brilliant song.
Please check out his Seven Sins song. He sings in welsh at the start and its fuckin beautiful!!
Ill say this here so others can find it.
Love the new intro! Great reaction. I think we can all see why Ren was so proud of this and excited for everyone to see it. Ren and Sam - what a team.
Thank you for mentioning the intro! 😂 i got a lot of "Its too dark and satanic" lmao so i wanted to go for a more friendly feel with a good message haha. So i appreciate you!

I love how this is the story of Jimmy, and he has another famous story about 'James' (aka Screech). Both Jimmy and James played the money game, but Jimmy just had more opportunity to make it farther along.
I think this video won a movie short award. But don't quote me.. it was a comment I saw from a renegade on another reaction video.
This song is truly a masterpiece of art by the most amazing artist of our time. Really enjoyed your reaction ❤
He’s a master ❤
