      TBH I think Big Hit created this video, this masterpiece, for people like you guys who understand music in the way that you guys play instruments and study and learn from it everyday and maybe base your careers based on music. I think, I mean when I listened to it, I would have never ever thought about how the music itself was trying to trick the listener like the movie "Black Swan" was aiming for. I don't think that Big Hit said "oh let's transform the instruments as the dancers, I bet everyone will understand it", I think they knew that most people wouldn't be able to point it out like you guys did, and I am so thankful for your guys input and knowledge because it just shows how music can be more than what we see, what we can't see in music is the most meaningful

    • @fruehlingsbotin
      @fruehlingsbotin 4 года назад +310

      Actually i believe the shadow is accepted a lot later in the album. I might be wrong... but the album obviously goes through various phases and black swan is still in the shadow phase... The first phase was persona (the songs from "map of the soul: persona"), the second phase is shadow, when the shadow takes over and they are all in a very dark depressing place (suga's interlude named shadow, black swan, probably everything up until "ON"!?). And the end is j-hope's Ego, the perfect happy ending. They have overcome their persona, accepted their shadows, and found their true self. But maybe the dancers didn't know about the concept in detail. They choreographed it on their own with little input from big hit.

    • @pamelacontreras9055
      @pamelacontreras9055 4 года назад +79

      But still in the end it feels inconclusive, it feels like there’s a big question mark in the end of the album with Ego.

      @prisharai7225 4 года назад +75

      naylonlove that’s true but I think although black swan is mostly about the dark side before accepting your shadow as part of u, they still addressed the whole message of the album in the mv, which might also be one of the reasons why they released it first

      That's basically what BTS want to convey within their musicality and discography as an artist aswell. They have accepted the dark shadow they are fighting with in conlusion their past, the resentments to people who looked down on them, that's their shadow and at the end, they want to embraced it as ONE of themselves.

    • @nnnnnn496
      @nnnnnn496 3 года назад +37

      I think the art film is just presenting the first death and not inline with BTS concept as a whole. Remember the dance company interpreted it any way they wanted.
      Notice how the shadows are lifting him up and the camera doesn't stop there. It pans upward as he slowly sinks trying to fly. Even RM interpreted it that. Watch their reaction video.

    I loved what Owen said
    "the main character was held by the shadow characters. To the middle one it was much more dramatic and passionate - it was like a fight scene almost choreographed and that was like You are fighting with the shadows within yourself. And at the end when it went to more of a resolutional perspective of the beginning but it felt like we had gone through past that. We had gone through that eternity so it felt different. At the end it felt like the Swan had accepted the shadow and the shadow had risen the Swan up"
    I myself couldn't have had said it better!

    Omg finally! The girl at 6:05 was spot on if she was talking about what I think she was. Some people mostly non armys were saying the autotune was overdone but it wasnt supposed to serve as autotune with no purpose. That very odd autotune was the shadow and a combination of all 7...it was like representing the shadow taking over. I explain it kind of weird but some people explain it better. So cool to see someome hear it and immediatley understand the tone of that the song carries

      @belle208 4 года назад +7

      Shannon Rochon there are some other songs that I’ve noticed they used it (maybe it’s not auto tune but a different type of filter) but I wonder if it was used creatively then because though I’m aware Black Swan and some other songs use it for the effect the emotion the art which is amazing, some other songs use it and I kind of can’t hear bts’s voice if that makes sense. It’s like I don’t hear the roughness and rawness of their voice and I’m not sure if I’m describing this right😫. Their voices are now fluid which is cool and satisfying but idk I don’t really like it because it makes a weird sound idk! Maybe if I know the meaning for it, if there is one I could understand why it sounds like that. Their songs still slap👏🏼

    Pretty sure that is the quietest I have ever seen this group during the actual music. Def appreciators of the actual sounds. I let my 14 year old listen to this on the way to her violin lessons and she was mesmerized. She went into lessons and played it to her teacher who is from another country and the teacher fell in love and wants to try and play it. I only mention the foreign piece because it shows how music can transcend race and language.

      I didn't even THINK of that!! When you end on scale degree 7 in both major and minor, it sounds "unfinished" because your ear wants to get to tonic (one note up). I thought it was their way of musically saying "keep going, this isn't the end for you." (And like- the shadow will probably come back, because this sort of thing isn't a one-and-done fight). God I love BTS so much; this is genuis

    Watching people who ACTUALLY KNOW about music praising BTS's work makes me feel so proud of them. Just like Yoongi said 'You'll like BTS music if you listen without prejudice.' and if you don't like this one, you'll find other one that will suit your taste cause like they said 'The genre is BTS'.
    Not just the music, the message that they try to deliver from their lyrics are relatable to every gender, race, social background and any age group which will make you realize how diverse ARMY (BTS's fanbase) are. The way many has been helped by their works always baffled me. They really are a hardworking and humble artists, I'm so happy to ever find them.

    😭 the reaction that BLACK SWAN art film deserves. The first time I watched pretty much as soon as the strings started up I was thinking “yes! This. Is. It. Yes!!!”. I was immediately completely on board with it. I felt so sad when so many fans were saying to reactors who were reacting to this art film “there’s the album version which is way different, like trap, and cool” seemingly without appreciating the beauty of this piece as a whole.
    Yes! To the point about it all being a perfect marriage. And Yes! To the comparison to Bolero. And also to the point about their voices being melded kind of matches the quality of strings.

    I'm watching this again bcs as someone who analyses everything in their music, it really confirms my thoughts, so here's timestamps of my favorite reactions adn thoughts that resonates with the band
    4:43 BTS were just walking through the industry without a plan in their debut days other than making genuine music and express their talents, so you can count it as "improvising". Especially when the fame is already hitting them(Fame has consequences)
    i love how everyone was listening attentively,😭
    6:16 black swan was released even before the pandemic, hell I think black swan was already in the making in 2017 during their wings era. I think the change comes from the pressure on them on being the biggest boy band in our generation and how bcs they're constantly making new content with talents. Even if it comes naturally, it's still be out burning

    To write the lyrics, to create this song, Namjoon watched "Black Swan" movie for a couple times, alone in his room, tho he already watched it before. And...he cried a lot. He said he didn't understand why he cried, maybe because he's getting older or so. He cried as well when writing "We are Bulletproof: the Eternal" since it's about their past, how they had to face the hardships. But, the album itself is about revealing their past, pain and shadow for being BTS members. I was amazed by this Black Swan MV version and love the song so much. Thank you for making a reaction video about this song.

  • @ScarletCoatedCherry
    @ScarletCoatedCherry 4 года назад +1

    The way Owen just sat down and digested the video so beautifully and accurately made me cry??? When he described his theory/interpretation i couldn’t hold back the tears with how impressed i was. It’s just beautiful to see how the arts can speak such volumes and work in such a harmony while also sometimes purposefully not trying to be harmonic to get a point across. It’s something anyone and everyone can feel an impact from, it’s just about whether a person wants to give it a chance and let it speak to them. So glad they reacted to Black Swan, i was anticipating this since it came out.

    I don't think that feeling is limited to performing arts, though. I sing and play the piano, but I'm also an illustrator. And I know that any time I go for long periods of time without doing any of the three creative outlets, I feel off and depressed.
    And people who get writer's block or go through a dry spell with art and never pick it back up always express regret. And sure, you can go back to it......but just like any art...... you'll be rusty and not as good as you used to be and you'll have to work back up to where you were. Which takes a considerable amount of time and effort.
    But ANY time ANY artist loses the love of their art and quits (musician, singer, dancer, painter, videographer, illustrator, writer, etc) it's ALWAYS painful and devastating. Just like being told you can no longer do that art is excruciating and feels like a death/loss (people who get injuries that prevent them).

    I love how when the swan falls or gets hurt the shadows quickly rush to him and cover him, swallow him. And you can't see anything but the shadows. And when he tries to stand independently the shadows grab him fast and pull him back. Back into the dark almost wanting him to be weak for them to take over. And at the end he tries to fly and be free from his insecurities I guess but they prevent him and keep him down from doing what he wants. Maybe I'm just dumb and over thinking

    Elizabeth and Owen's explanation gave me goosebumps. Seriously. I keep replaying their part. They didn't just focus on technicalities but rather more on what they felt and observed in the film. It's really different when you have knowledge about certain things because you understand it in a whole different perspective, and you can elaborate it for other people to understand it the way you do. Or maybe it's the way they explained it that I totally understand what they're talking about and what the video is all about. Because when I first watched it, yeah it kinda gave me an idea and I felt what it wanted me to feel. However, I couldn't pin point that exact word to describe it. I understood but I couldn't explain. And I love how Elizabeth and Owen connect everything in the video. From music to choreography to the movie Black Swan. It all make sense now. Thank you!
