@@SEDS23 Ya I hate it when that happens. U just tryin' to find a video about a guy named Steve but you actually get a video about a guy who is not Steve. Reminds me of this one time my friend told me he went to the shops and wanted to by oranges, and he did. But he got home and found out it was actually a tactical tomahawk in disguise.
Mom: "why are you wasting your time on stupid videos like this?" Me: "because that's the way I like to live my life and I know everything's gonna be just fine"
"That’s the way I like to live my life, and I know that everything’s gonna be fine" has subconsciously replaced "I'm only human after all, don't put the blame on me" for me.
is anyone gonna talk about how the duck climbed the mountain to give steve his letter that said( ducks can't write letters): Dear Steve, (that's not his name) how did you climb this mountain?
Analysis: Part 1: play by play The video opens up with our protagonist "Steve" introducing himself. The very next thing he tells us is that he drives a car thats stuck in a tree. He then goes on to admit he was lying and that his real name isn't steve. he then says that he's filing for an extension on his taxes because he didn't pay them but in the same sentence says doesn't plan to do them. Why? Because "thats the way he likes to live his life and he feels like everything's gonna be fine". The day ends. The next day he tells the viewer that hes skipping work again, implying he does it frequently, but clarifies that its because hes unemployed. The mailman delivers mail but he adds the details that he was late and was actually a woman. She then breaks into the same jingle steve did earlier saying "thats the way i like to live my life..." . All of a sudden theres a change of scenery and he starts talking about mountains that we can see are right behind his house yet he says "I don't remember why i first saw the mountains". He then says that they've ALWAYS been there. He wonders why they're there but whether he knows or not he has to accept that they're there. He says that he can't claim them. Then he does a complete 180 and states that he can and does so very quickly. He then starts the jingle from before. "Thats the way i like to live my life.." but he gets cut off right as he starts, its another mail delivery. This time the person delivering it is a bird but he doesn't mention anything about it nor does he mention anything about the mail being delivered straight to him rather then to his house. The mailman doesn't break into a jingle this time, only saying "heres the mail." The letter is adressed to steve despite that not being his name, which he points out, and it asks how he climbed the mountain. Steve says he glad the person asked and gives a simple answer saying that its a simple two step process, first find the mountain, then climb it. After this steve breaks into the last jingle of the video but this time he says "Thats the way we can get things done and thats how I do it, its easy and simple cause you know what to do." Steve stands there smiling when a downpour starts but steve doesn't react at all simply standing there and smiling. A 5 day weather forecast pops up on screen showing nothing but rain for each day and it moves rapidly showing rain for many more days then 5. Steve then says "bye i'm steve" despite saying it wasn't his name earlier and the screen cuts to black. Part 2: Breakdown of Steve This is obviously a very confusing story. The main character "steve" makes many contradictory and strange statements and bizarre things happen with no explanation. To fully understand this we need to look at the story part by part then look at the big picture. First of all why does steve introduce himself as steve and then say thats not actually his name? The character steve seems to represent many things throughout the story, at times he operates the same as any normal person, or character in a story might but at other times he does very strange things. He changes his identity and says things that are impossible such as him driving a car in a tree, theres also a point where a talking bird delivers him mail. Steve doesn't pay taxes and doesn't have a job, He's also secluded from others in the mountains. These traits are indicative of multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia. The viewer isn't a character in the story but he talks to the viewer, rather then just narrating whats happening I think steve is talking to himself and the viewer is seeing whats happening through his eyes, this is why we saw the bird talking. The first real thing does in the story is file for an extension on his tax returns and then say he wont ever be paying them. Although this statement may seem like he doesn't plan to pay what he owes, I think whats actually happening is steve doesn't owe anything at all. Steve doesn't appear to live in a city but rather a rural area with mountains so it may be either he is excused from paying taxes because of his mental ailments or the government of his country doesn't require its citizens to pay taxes. Part 3: breakdown of events First, Either way the point of him filing for an extension is pointless, he also says he doesn't have a job. steve appears to live a life without a goal. He's secluded in the mountains and his mental afflictions may prevent him from growing or working towards something meaningful. His random bursts into jingles show how childlike his mental state is and the flashing colors show his warped views of reality. Despite this he thinks everything is going to be ok and his more or less happy with himself. One day the mailman delivers the mail and this is when he starts to say something rational although pointless and unneeded. He says the mailman was actually a woman and was late, despite this statement being unneeded it makes sense and theres no indication of it being false. Yet when the mailman comes she also bursts into the same jingle steve was doing. The mailman may have similar mental issues to steve and the two of them are just role-playing, She isn't dressed like a mailman and its never said that she delivers anything to steve, simply dances and leaves. She also doesn't identify herself as a mailman but steve does, maybe its because she did deliver something to steve without him realizing. Steve might have just imagined the mailman doing the jingle as well. I think the two most important things here are that first of all the mailman was late, in the way that steve is late to life. As a fully grown adult he still acts like a kid but the mailman "delivered" something to him, a doctor delivering medicine. Steve gains newfound clarity and sees the mountains behind him. The mountains are his mental problems, the things he can't do becase of his mental condition. He doesn't know why he first saw them, he wasn't aware that he was being medicated but they've always been there, just like his mental issues. He feels like he'll never be able to climb them but after the delivery he is able to right away. The medicine is working. As soon as he reaches the top he tries to do his jingle but he can't, he's no longer happy. Theres another delivery but the person delivering it is a bird. This could be steves issues presenting themselves once again, but he doesn't say anything. The medication didn't solve the underlying problems but merely allowed him to hide them, this is why he sees a bird but makes no comment. To someone not seeing it through steves eyes he would seem normal. This is shown again when hes called steve and despite him not thinking that its his name he just says "whatever" and goes along with it, he doesn't know he's steve but he just hides the fact he thinks he isn't. He starts being interviewed about how he solved his mental issues, maybe by a doctor or family member. He gives a very simple answer that isn't very helpful at all because he doesn't know how he climbed the mountain and his issues are still there, they just went up the mountain with him but he keeps up the image of being a normal person. he does a jingle but its different this time, theres no mention of him being alright or happy he just says that he solved his problems. His issues are never solved until the end. The rain starts and steve just keeps standing there and smiling despite the heavy downpour and he doesn't go into a jingle or say anything and the weather forecast shows never ending rain. Steve is depressed. The medication is making him a depressed mess keeping his schizophrenia and mpd inside but he's no longer happy. Everntually steve accepts that this wont change. He says "Bye i'm steve" showing that he's lost who he truly is, he doesn't make an effort to find the happy person he was before by saying hes not actually steve and kills himself. This is a dark commentary on how the mentally ill live in todays society and the overmedication not being an answer. Steve was fine before anyone decided his pointless life wasn't ok and after they decided they fixed him steve lost the person he was when he was happy and can no longer bear his own life.

Bill has a level of comedy and self expression that is amazing and everyone needs to experience
Analysis:
Part 1: play by play
The video opens up with our protagonist "Steve" introducing himself. The very next thing he tells us is that he drives a car thats stuck in a tree. He then goes on to admit he was lying and that his real name isn't steve. he then says that he's filing for an extension on his taxes because he didn't pay them but in the same sentence says doesn't plan to do them. Why? Because "thats the way he likes to live his life and he feels like everything's gonna be fine". The day ends. The next day he tells the viewer that hes skipping work again, implying he does it frequently, but clarifies that its because hes unemployed. The mailman delivers mail but he adds the details that he was late and was actually a woman. She then breaks into the same jingle steve did earlier saying "thats the way i like to live my life..." . All of a sudden theres a change of scenery and he starts talking about mountains that we can see are right behind his house yet he says "I don't remember why i first saw the mountains". He then says that they've ALWAYS been there. He wonders why they're there but whether he knows or not he has to accept that they're there. He says that he can't claim them. Then he does a complete 180 and states that he can and does so very quickly. He then starts the jingle from before. "Thats the way i like to live my life.." but he gets cut off right as he starts, its another mail delivery. This time the person delivering it is a bird but he doesn't mention anything about it nor does he mention anything about the mail being delivered straight to him rather then to his house. The mailman doesn't break into a jingle this time, only saying "heres the mail." The letter is adressed to steve despite that not being his name, which he points out, and it asks how he climbed the mountain. Steve says he glad the person asked and gives a simple answer saying that its a simple two step process, first find the mountain, then climb it. After this steve breaks into the last jingle of the video but this time he says "Thats the way we can get things done and thats how I do it, its easy and simple cause you know what to do." Steve stands there smiling when a downpour starts but steve doesn't react at all simply standing there and smiling. A 5 day weather forecast pops up on screen showing nothing but rain for each day and it moves rapidly showing rain for many more days then 5. Steve then says "bye i'm steve" despite saying it wasn't his name earlier and the screen cuts to black.
Part 2: Breakdown of Steve
This is obviously a very confusing story. The main character "steve" makes many contradictory and strange statements and bizarre things happen with no explanation. To fully understand this we need to look at the story part by part then look at the big picture. First of all why does steve introduce himself as steve and then say thats not actually his name? The character steve seems to represent many things throughout the story, at times he operates the same as any normal person, or character in a story might but at other times he does very strange things. He changes his identity and says things that are impossible such as him driving a car in a tree, theres also a point where a talking bird delivers him mail. Steve doesn't pay taxes and doesn't have a job, He's also secluded from others in the mountains. These traits are indicative of multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia. The viewer isn't a character in the story but he talks to the viewer, rather then just narrating whats happening I think steve is talking to himself and the viewer is seeing whats happening through his eyes, this is why we saw the bird talking. The first real thing does in the story is file for an extension on his tax returns and then say he wont ever be paying them. Although this statement may seem like he doesn't plan to pay what he owes, I think whats actually happening is steve doesn't owe anything at all. Steve doesn't appear to live in a city but rather a rural area with mountains so it may be either he is excused from paying taxes because of his mental ailments or the government of his country doesn't require its citizens to pay taxes.
Part 3: breakdown of events
First, Either way the point of him filing for an extension is pointless, he also says he doesn't have a job. steve appears to live a life without a goal. He's secluded in the mountains and his mental afflictions may prevent him from growing or working towards something meaningful. His random bursts into jingles show how childlike his mental state is and the flashing colors show his warped views of reality. Despite this he thinks everything is going to be ok and his more or less happy with himself. One day the mailman delivers the mail and this is when he starts to say something rational although pointless and unneeded. He says the mailman was actually a woman and was late, despite this statement being unneeded it makes sense and theres no indication of it being false. Yet when the mailman comes she also bursts into the same jingle steve was doing. The mailman may have similar mental issues to steve and the two of them are just role-playing, She isn't dressed like a mailman and its never said that she delivers anything to steve, simply dances and leaves. She also doesn't identify herself as a mailman but steve does, maybe its because she did deliver something to steve without him realizing. Steve might have just imagined the mailman doing the jingle as well. I think the two most important things here are that first of all the mailman was late, in the way that steve is late to life. As a fully grown adult he still acts like a kid but the mailman "delivered" something to him, a doctor delivering medicine. Steve gains newfound clarity and sees the mountains behind him. The mountains are his mental problems, the things he can't do becase of his mental condition. He doesn't know why he first saw them, he wasn't aware that he was being medicated but they've always been there, just like his mental issues. He feels like he'll never be able to climb them but after the delivery he is able to right away. The medicine is working.
As soon as he reaches the top he tries to do his jingle but he can't, he's no longer happy. Theres another delivery but the person delivering it is a bird. This could be steves issues presenting themselves once again, but he doesn't say anything. The medication didn't solve the underlying problems but merely allowed him to hide them, this is why he sees a bird but makes no comment. To someone not seeing it through steves eyes he would seem normal. This is shown again when hes called steve and despite him not thinking that its his name he just says "whatever" and goes along with it, he doesn't know he's steve but he just hides the fact he thinks he isn't. He starts being interviewed about how he solved his mental issues, maybe by a doctor or family member. He gives a very simple answer that isn't very helpful at all because he doesn't know how he climbed the mountain and his issues are still there, they just went up the mountain with him but he keeps up the image of being a normal person. he does a jingle but its different this time, theres no mention of him being alright or happy he just says that he solved his problems. His issues are never solved until the end. The rain starts and steve just keeps standing there and smiling despite the heavy downpour and he doesn't go into a jingle or say anything and the weather forecast shows never ending rain. Steve is depressed. The medication is making him a depressed mess keeping his schizophrenia and mpd inside but he's no longer happy. Everntually steve accepts that this wont change. He says "Bye i'm steve" showing that he's lost who he truly is, he doesn't make an effort to find the happy person he was before by saying hes not actually steve and kills himself. This is a dark commentary on how the mentally ill live in todays society and the overmedication not being an answer. Steve was fine before anyone decided his pointless life wasn't ok and after they decided they fixed him steve lost the person he was when he was happy and can no longer bear his own life.
shredup chopel thanks for the essay
A very good explanation of how the problems that Steve had developed into worse problems and ruined his life. A+
