![Pianist First time [REACTION] to REN - MONEY GAME 3! @itsandiroo](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0Bzc8KRi1OE/mqdefault.jpg)
Upon editing this video, I had the chance to revisit Ren’s ‘economics lesson set to a nursery rhyme.’ It’s an intriguing take, using a specific example to critique corporate practices.
However, it's important to remember that not all successful companies operate solely on greed. Many have genuinely innovated and created indispensable products that enhance our daily lives-from smartphones to vehicles to efficient healthcare systems. While profit can sometimes fuel greed, it also drives innovation and allows for continuous improvement of the products and services we rely on.
Thanks for watching, and let’s keep the conversation going!
Hi again!
I loved what you said about local business support! I'm in Chicago burbs, and they're slowly taking the once quaintness of the downtown area and making it cookie cutter high rises. My favorite sandwich shop is yet ANOTHER Chase bank 🙄 & my buddy Freddy's coffee shop is now Starbucks. I'm not implying he was chased out if there in ANY way!😬
Some businesses weren't willing to sell on one strip, and there was a mysterious fire. I laugh that maybe I'm just old now? "I DON'T LIKE CHANGE!!" 🤣😂 That's not it at all, change is great, but this is SAME change, money grabbing scumbags change! It's such a damn shame!😉
A Chicago hot dog place opened RIGHT before Covid hit, I became fast friends with the owners & was "essential" at the time, so I'd throw $100 at them every time I went in, just hoping they stayed afloat! They not only made it thru the storm, they're rockin' it now! The owner started buying my cookies & cakepops to sell there, and now I work PT there as they need me. Lol we are QUITE the love story 😆
Sorry to be so long winded lol, just thought you'd like to know your words matter, on that support of your community! ❤️✌️
Greed has metastasized and has infected every level of our society. Capitalism is broken, it is no longer working efficiently, too much is getting to the top and not enough to the bottom. The solutions are not going to be easy or painless. We have to start realizing we all cannot have the same things in a world of finite resources, but we all should and can have a stable food supply, stable and affordable housing, affordable educational choices, and equal opportunity, maybe not equal results.
@@debbiedebster5806 Love supporting local businesses! What Chicago burb are you in? I'm originally from Zion.
True but the initially iphones were built in Chinese factories with "questionable" ethics to reduce cost, which was not the decision of the innovator(s). I would suggest profit drives all decisions at the top of corporations, but not the individual creators within those companies and Ren's not talking about the innovators but those that made their money off the back of them. My two cents and yes I've worked in corporate culture my entire career so I'm 100% biased.
@@HiTekCowboy Fair point. But we also type these comments on those exact iPhones.
I laugh a little bit when every American/Canadian comments 'His gun safety is terrible' but that is exactly the point, a reckless finger on the trigger of a money game. Also a deactivated real gun and a very clever bullet switch out where the camera couldn't catch it. Watch the behind the scenes on your own time, super interesting.
very good the behind the scenes a must watch for every fan of Ren
Watch Samuel being interviewed by KonxHill! Day after video release. Shows all cinametography, choreography. Speaks about rain set up, Rens suit, the gun story and getting a 45 into the UK. They only had one shot for everything to go completely right! Notice the progression from #1 with practically no budget to almost a year later and 8 or so videos in between to #3 with the largest budget he’s ever had! Paying extras, better mics lighting, rigs for the rain, the space, the suit, the piano, all technicians and travel. He made a masterpiece quality of a video like a high end movie!!! Imagine what Ren could do with a real budget for a movie, documentary, Netflix special etc!?? With his mind and directing skills! He blows my mind. FYI I feel like he’s definitely talking about crony capitalism but how society today influences young minds to believe more is always better and how cutting corners just becomes part of the game. Means justify the ends. Also I feel the the bags in the heads are like actual money bags that are usually tied up with rope.
All wearing them, all wrapped in the game or being used. ❤
Yeah by now it should be apparent that almost if not entirely every single thing you see and hear with Ren videos is planned. Every little bit is part of the message.
It really adds to the tension? Because he's being so careless with it. It's brilliant
Ren's solution:
1) The people accepting they're part of the problem.
2) Better parenting, not teaching children everything is about money or not to care for others.
3) From Eden, the people should work together and put their energy into something more valuable and important; a utopia.
This song shows the people how they're part of the problem. Jimmy represents pieces of all of us.
I can agree with that.
Only issue is a utopia is literally impossible until we have the technology to replicate matter into any form like in Star Trek. As long as there are haves and have nots, Utopia is a fantasy. Who will willingly do the grueling manual labor while others do cushier tasks? It's would be great if every human on earth could somehow come together and split all tasks evenly but we have free will and with free will means there will always be people who will refuse to contribute evenly. Maybe if we get to the point of AI and robotics doing EVERYTHING for us, then we could have a Utopia. But without greed and a money game we would most likely never advance to that level.
@@Hoop_23 I'm not sure utopia is an ideal aim.
"We could build utopias, if individuals were taught to use their brains
But if we teach kids in school to always be sheep
And put themselves before the herd if there's more money for me
Then there's no future I see, where the humans survive
We're parasites in the Petri dish with cannibal mind
Mold will grow upon a surface, then consumes till it dies
And our fate could be the same without this story to the wise"
(This atom correct is bucking ship)
It's funny because after Hi Ren many thought ... how do you top that? Personally, I think this did. Not because he had a bigger budget or better equipment but because Hi Ren was his story, MG3 is our story. It's just a compelling reminder that while money matters it can't be the goal. If you chase money just for money you will never have enough. If you chase money to provide for your family, money is a tool. If you chase a career and you make a lot of money, the career is the goal, money is, again a byproduct. It also reminds us to be careful of the message we give to children. What we say vs. what they hear can change the course of their life. I've seen this video dozens of times now and it still works.
Ren never preach on how we should do or be, he exposes the way he see the world , ''pointing mirroir at ourself'' he doesn't complain either, he speaks facs and ask us ''what are we gonna do with it? I love for that, he doesn't juge ppl, he simply ask us to do better.
I have always thought the final scene in MG3 is a real-life representation of the chorus from MG 1 and MG 2.
Oh, rain, rain, rain, rain...A storm, it comes our way
“Jimmy comes home out of the rain”
And those who rise through distorted lies...Poison in the veins
“soaking wet upon a wheelchair...Drinking again” ( alcohol is the poison in the veins)
But we like to point the blame, blame, blame, blame...It's easier to blame
“Here's the words of his father, it's such a damn shame”
But point the mirror at ourselves...We're all part of this old money game
“Then he presses on the trigger of a money game”
That's interesting.
And just before "cut the music" the strings are playing the hummed vocalization from MG 1 and MG 2.
Yep, thats not by chance, thats exactly what he was doing, it's mentioned in several BTS's / interviews. its why we love him 🙂
Exactly that!
And 'a saint into a sinner, a child into a killer who presses on the trigger...' sounds like a description of Jimmy to me
Eden was the culminating summation piece to the money game treaure hunt which was a week of puzzles designed to encourage the participants (anyone who wanted to join in) to work together as a community and as a hive mind to solve the puzzles and claim a monetary prize. This happened in the week running up to the release of Money Game 3. I feel it was intended to demonstrate the power of community and working together to find solutions and fulfil our potential as a human society. The message I take from all of this is that we need to re evaluate how we value things and each other, and money is not a good wau of doing this and keeping score. Good deeds and care for others would be a much better measure, plenty of examples in human history of the endurance and reverence of such a legacy
I agree with your comment. I've always looked at money as a tool. It's neither good nor evil, but in the hands of the right or wrong people, it can be a blessing or incredibly destructive.
The solution is in the mirror.
There's none so blind that cannot see, remove the money bag from your head.
Yup, and by changing oneself, our children will change with you.
But if you fight your own children's change using greed and politics, then, well...we truly know the core of the problem.
I'm UK, I'm 60, hey we live by our means, the man is a genius
Magnum Opus 😲 🤯 Wolf Johnson has a great BTS (another Ren story behind that). Extended version, (over two hours!) that you may just watch for your own interest. Perhaps something on the lighter side next ? Ren and The Big Push "I Shot The Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" (Red suspenders version, or face fan displeasure), or the other fan fav, "Bongo Bong".
I think that this is the best summation of these three pieces that I have watched. I've never watched them straight one after another before. Much more inpactful that way. I know I'm going to be thinking about this all the rest of the day.
It's so good.
An absolute masterpiece. Ren is amazing. Good reaction
Thanks!
This was Ren at his peak, what a story, what a presentation.
Agreed
There's nobody quite like him for selling a song with a performance. His big videos have such a theatrical approach.
Fun fact: @4:52 when Ren picks up the Rubik cube it reveals a small effigy of Sack Man which Ren used to sell in his merch store.
If you watch the "making of" video, you'll learn that the camera assistant has a fake clip. Ren grabs the gun off the table, ejects the clip and swaps it with the assistant for a real one. The real one is loaded with more bullets, then the camera moves away during which time, Ren and the assistant swap the real for the fake clip. Yes, his finger is on the trigger but the real clip is never in the gun.
One of the best reactions I've seen. Loved that you already knew Eden, so the story is complete imo.
Thanks!
And there is only one cut scene in here when he is in the wheelchair
Terrific reaction. 😊 I see Jimmy as a product of nature and nurture. (to me most people are). The famous quote "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" sums up a lot of what goes on in this story as well as what goes on today imo. Ren composed all the music in this piece. (except for the very beginning of the piano piece which is from Grieg). There are 2 Behind the scene videos on this. A short version on Ren's channel and an extended version on The Wolf Johnson's channel who used to react to Ren's music a lot. Ren saw his reaction and saw his talent is photography as well as the kind of person he was. So Ren brought to the UK to film the BTS. This also won an award for Best Music Video (Ren) and Best Director (Ren and Sam). He had a vision and a budget.
It certainly is a showcase...
This part of the trilogy is basically focusing on GREED and the rise and fall of the love of money and power. How we are brought up always trying to get more. Wanting to be better than others. Then the way greed takes us to places that are not always nice or good for us. That's my take on it.
Definitely worth watching Wolf Johnson's behind the scenes documentary of the making of Money Game 3 (there are short and extended cut versions).
So glad I got to watch it with ya brother. 😊. Appreciate ya. Go Steelers.
Glad you enjoyed it. Let's go!
Thank you! Can't wait for next Ren.
You and me both!
My friend, your insightful and emotional reaction and analysis to the Money Game trilogy was second to none, and I have seen them all (in their dozens and hundreds), having sought them out, painful day after painful day (with many pleasant surprises) but now, I am replete, complete.
Perfect Reaction! Head of the class and gold star! Revel n the moment...
Wow. Thank you!
"Jimmy's life was interesting for a while, then it just Best reaction comment I heard! :) brilliant reaction.
Glad you enjoyed!
I think the money bag hoods in all of these just takes away specific identity. It's everyone just playing a role in society and life.
Also, Ren refers to them as hostage hoods I think was the phrase in the BTS - definitely hostage something. So that suggests what he is thinking of them as being.
(A hostage hood is to keep hostages blind to what’s happening and compliant)
Loved your reaction, your captivated face as the story went on is how I imagine myself and others looking too the first time we saw this. It’s truly a masterpiece in every way, and I’m happy they received the recognition for the music video at least, with 3 awards.
I wrote the following while watching your reaction so I’m aware of you tying everything together (MG 1,2 & 3 + Eden) but I’ll let my thoughts stay the way they were at the time of typing them out, also since as I mention below - commenting from the phone is a pain in the ass 😅
Ren said in his live stream following the MG3 premiere “I don’t have the solution, WE have the solution” which was the point of the money game treasure hunt and summarized in Eden.
You don’t have to have a solution to be able to critique something.
I do agree that it is irritating when someone whines about something without offering a solution but the ones whining often remove themselves from being part of what they whine about so it usually comes off with the air of ‘everyone but me are wrong’ type attitude, however the way ren does it in the money game trilogy is he’s pointing it out to those blinded by the money sack without actually placing judgement on them for being blinded to begin with as he both visually (by starting out with the money sack on and showing his own eyes opening to the problem) and verbally (his example is exaggerated versions of *me* and it’s a…) beginning with himself.
In this case I actually prefer him not offering a specific solution as that would most likely have made the thought provoking message of the trilogy less striking if the listener wouldn’t agree it to be the best choice. Nor would it have started as many discussions and idea sharing as it did and continues to do.
I also believe that the job of an artist in general is to critique and question the status quo, the problems within the systems we have put in place, the structures in society that we’ve been conditioned to think are just the way life is and there’s nothing we can do to change them. Their jobs aren’t necessarily to come up with *the* solution but to bring awareness so that the listener might feel inspired to do what they can to change things. I can still criticise the way we are destroying our planet even though I’m not an educated scientist with the understanding of how it could be possible to not further destroy it, I can only offer the solution to not litter and to live as clean as possible but that won’t stop corporations in china, the us and my own country from furthering the destruction. That shouldn’t mean I should just shut up and accept it.
Also when it comes to artists with huge followings (that generally speaking about fandoms could be quite impressionable and putting their idols on a pedestal and blindly agreeing with their every word) I think it could be quite irresponsible to claim to have the answer to something as there is the risk of people agreeing just because they look up to you, there is a power issue there. Right now and when these came out, Ren’s still ‘just one of us’ even if his following is quite large, but the more he grows sadly the risk of people idolising him the same way a lot of other ‘celebrities’ are by their fans I love the fact that by removing his own opinion he makes sure the listener still engages their own critical thinking.
This is a long comment written on the mobile app which sucks and also thoughts written and translated right as they come to mind so I’m hoping this all makes any sense and won’t be too choppy and all over the place to read 😂
Again, loved your reaction and your thoughts during/after. And again “crucify your culture” would make a great follow up even though I feel like it’s more of a prequel to the money games.
As always I’m looking forward to your next ren reaction!
All the best till then! :)
That’s fair. I’m not a fan of popular people often disconnected from reality offering prescriptions for the society in which they do not reside.
But I think it’s OK to encourage folks to move away from endless complaining, making noise and living as a victim.
You said it clearly, almost the same words I'd have used. ( I'd have had to write it elsewhere first, though).
Fyi...the clip he filled was changed out for an empty clip under camera view, the gun had no firing pin, and the barrel was blocked so actually no real danger just perceived danger for the viewer
It will be interesting to see your take on his Seven Sins. Ren places greed as the worst one, and this is the underlying message of the Money Games as well.
Or you just do something lighthearted, like the Love Music part 1-4 or some other more playful rap song. Just be aware that he is very fond of dirty jokes :)
Great reaction. Many people mention the trigger or trigger discipline. The gun is a replica 45 and cannot fire. Even still, one of the cartridges kept popping out the handle. Ren actually swaps it out mid-video with the helper behind the cameraman; he reaches underneath his arm twice. So the fake bullets loaded in that cartridge are swapped out.
Its interesting. I feel like plenty of people aren't able to come up with solutions to everyday problems they might be having. They simply haven't come from a background that encouraged problem solving.
They should still be able to raise legitimate issues that they're experiencing in their life, and have their voice heard.
A grounded example of the above. Many of us go to the doctor with an ailment. We don't know what it is or how to resolve it, but we should very much be entitled to raise the problem and have our voice heard. Doctors are trained individuals who have greater expertise in that area, and are able to apply it to their patients in a beneficial manner.
Transferring that notion to other areas of life seems valid. We shouldn't discourage people from raising issues that they've observed imo, and ideally we should have compassion toward them even if they cannot see a solution.
You asked what the bag/sack over their heads signifies. Here's my take on the Money Game trilogy along with factual statements made by Ren & others, on the messaging & performative aspects of Money Games Part 1,2 & 3.✌❤
Part 1: & 3 are in a similar format to Ren's Tale of Jenny & Screen & Hi Ren, which can be considered live performance pieces that are shot in 1 take.🤯 Ren has commented that this was his first attempt at this style of one take video production & it took them nearly 180 takes to get this shot right, especially with all the choreography & music involved. In essence, Ren is introducing everyone to all the hypocrisy in the west & the seeds that have been sown around the world that created this money game & how we all live blind to it daily, with a metaphorical money bag tied around our heads. 💰🤑💰In part 1 Ren portrays the character of Judge, jury & executioner for those who are blinded by the money game & the corruption that steams from the greed of everyone involved in it. He even draws eyes on the bagman to help him see his own errors & that of society's. When Ren attempts to carry out the final death sentence, the bagman's eyes reflect back to Ren, revealing his own complacency in the MG. The lyrics of his hook echo's in his head (Hold the mirror to ourselves, we're all part of this old money game). The ending carries a double meaning, 1) like a Buddhist Monk Ren burns himself in effigy as a protest of the MG & 2) This act of burning represents how we are all as a society, just dooming ourselves in the end. Like Ren's lyrics conveyed earlier (As the world turns, the whole world burns).
Part 2: is a studio recording with Ren & his videographer Samuel Perry-Falvey creating an artistic LYRIC VIDEO to assist in the messaging/storytelling. Pt.2 shows the money game through the narrower lens of corporate greed & government corruption & its effects on our present day society.🔥🔥I won't get to descriptive here, but it's much less abstract in its presentation & easier to absorb & decipher.
Part 3: Is Ren's magnum opus, once again returning to his one shot live performance format with Samuel Perry-Falvey behind the lens, but this time on a grander scale then anything they've attempted to date. Ren has even stated that this video in scale & technicality was his most ambitious project yet. Ren wraps up this trilogy telling us the life story of a single fictional character named "Jimmy" who was raised from birth in the money game mentality & therefore tightening the focus even more on the MG. Instead of just singing the hook "Point the mirror at ourselves, we're all part of this old money game" he chooses to bring the mirror to life & show us through the life of Jimmy's & everyone around him who have their own money bags tied around there heads, exactly where the pursuit of the MG leads. 🤯🤯
Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber shared Money Game 3 on his Instagram and said Ren is one of the best storytellers he has seen in a very long time. Film maker Jonathan Hiller was blown away by the story, as well as the cinematography & choreography that Ren & Sam created. By the end of the video Jonathan say's "This is the genius of Ren, by the end of the video his art transcends into a spiritual realm. Ren's use of negative space is captivating making MG3 utterly transformative".
Cheers my friend.🍻
Wow
I always assumed the switch out at the very beginning signified how he stepped away from his record deal, and they just set another body in the slot. It's either obvious, or I'm really projecting 😂
I always enjoy reactions to this masterpiece, but yours was excellent! ❤✌️
And we can all take a moment to recognize he even answers the phone with such style, he's ridiculous 😂🤩😍
That's a cool interpretation!
Could be
My initial reaction was “nah, it’s not that”…but…maybe…even if it wasn’t conscious, I think you could be onto something.
Let me expand a little on your idea as this is what it led me to think.
Getting the deal, Ren was on a path to success and riches, playing a part in the ol’ money game. When he got “substituted out” it left him with time to reflect (he looks in the mirror/point the mirror at ourselves…) and he realised he had been blinded by the money game, and he choose to reject it - he took off the hood that was blinding him…(sick boi: “Don’t you wanna be a rich boy? F’ck no!”).
Now I’m almost certainly projecting too - but I do like this idea that the swap out at the piano may go back to his own experience with the music industry - how dispensable and interchangeable we are in the money game.
Food for thought.
@@sputukgmail love it! That details it so much more!
After seeing this maybe 100 times I think the terrible trigger discipline on the gun is intentional, that it represents the money game being used recklessly. And the dry fire at the end is maybe that Jimmy was spared because he learned from his mistakes, but I'm definitely unsure of the latter, more confident of the former
So glad you are so opened minded ..we all have our favourites..mine is How to be me but yes this is up there.
Loved your analysis of this video. This popped up before I remembered that I haven't seen your MG1 or MG2 reactions, so I'll have to go back and check those out.
I do disagree somewhat with one thing you said early on (I think before the reaction started), about people not complaining if they aren't also proposing a solution. I think that complaining is (frequently) valuable. Often, particularly when we are talking about issues on the scale of society, the person who is experiencing the worst effects of a problem is often not empowered to make necessary changes or even in a position to understand the full scope of the issue. Their thoughts on a remedy can be valuable, but it is very easy to get too focused on the first solution that you come up with, implement it, and then find out that it doesn't actually work.
One example of this is something like car traffic on highways. When traffic gets bad, most peoples' instinct is to ask for adding more lanes to the highway. More room for cars should mean that they can move more easily and quickly. This is intuitive, but it is also wrong the vast majority of the time. No one needs me to go into a diatribe in this comment section, but suffice it to say that adding lanes to highways often makes traffic congestion worse in the long run (and at great expense). In this case, if I were an official or a planner, I would really want to hear about where people are experiencing pain points, but most of their solutions would be a distraction at best.
In Ren's (or any artist's) case, sometimes shining light on a problem *is* a solution. Or the beginning of one. Getting people to think about their lives and their choices may be enough to create lots of small changes that add up over time. Eventually, maybe it's enough to influence people who are in a position to make larger changes.
I don't think there's anything wrong with complaining. I *do* think there's a problem with complaining and then being unwilling to make changes in your own life if a reasonable solution is presented.
I see your point and appreciate your traffic analogy. It's true that individually, there's only so much we can do to change the frustrating conditions on the highway. However, the key lies in how we respond to that traffic. We know it's there, yet we still react with annoyance.
What if we shifted our mindset and approached the highway with a positive attitude? For instance, I could use that time to catch up with a friend, listen to an uplifting podcast, or use that moment for personal growth. We might not be able to control the traffic, but we definitely can control our reaction to it.
On a personal note, my wife and I have taken proactive steps in our lives where many just complain. We've lost 150 lbs together and paid off over $120,000 in debt. It's easy to complain about problems like being overweight or in debt, but taking action to change those circumstances is what truly makes a difference. It’s fine to express frustration initially, but dwelling on it without attempting to find a solution doesn't lead to progress.
We’re blinded by the money bags over our heads. My guess is that is what it means.
The mask is a money bag ..thats what I thought anyway. I could be wrong but since the songs are called money game ..makes sense it would be a money bag 💰 👍😎🔥
You continue to do stellar work young man...looking forward to more of whatever.....
Thanks!
I think the now what is in the Eden (and irl money game that lead to it). And this part is the confirmation of it.
Freeing himself from the world of money
Love your comment. Money only does one thing, If you're not a good person the money will bring out that bad. However, if you're a good person in your soul the money will bring more good.
Ren is an ncredible artist.
Great reaction! Love how u pull it all together ❤️
Glad you enjoyed
I loved Money Game Part 1, when I heard it, but Part 3 is next-level, in terms of story. And the piano, the strings.... absolutely enchanting. Have you listened to Ren's Animal Flow? Might be a nice change of pace for you, while still exploring these thoughts 😃
Did you catch it that the Chorus from Money Game 1 and 2 did in fact make it to Money Game 3. Not musically, be he basically acted out the chorus in the last part when the rain starts.
And the strings are playing the refrain too.
Just came across your channel. Great reaction! Subbed for more Ren. ☮️❤️😎
Welcome aboard! Lots of Ren to watch!
It's supposed to be the old style money bags used by banks & etc.
My take is the headcover and noose repersents being in the money game.
Your thoughts, your ideas are money. So you have a money bag on your head and don't realize it.
You can become aware of a problem without having a clue how to fix it. The problem could effect you personally, and critically. All you can do at that point is complain, whine, or shout in frustration.
Telling people they need a solution or they're going to be ignored is cold, mean, and short sighted.
I think there was a misunderstanding. My point was that while it's acceptable to initially express frustration, if people continue to complain without proposing any solutions, it just turns into meaningless noise. It’s important to move beyond just airing grievances and start looking for ways to resolve them, as simply dwelling on problems without action doesn't contribute to progress.
@@teckreactions I agree. Thanks for clearing that up. Good reaction, btw. He sure can force people to think!
You have some refreshing ideas about your reaction bra. Keep it up!!! 😍
Thanks!
Everyone thinks this trilogy is like Jenny and screech but it is not, they are not really sequels, they are each their own songs about the same subject.👍
They definitely build upon one another.
Great reaction peace out
✌🏻
I have you a like cus It rubbed me the wrong way to see you had 666 likes on this video😂Besides i love your reaction!
Money Game I, is about the history of the game and how money has been used to divide and enslave people and once those people ae divided how that money then creates power in individual hands that nourishes greed. The greed turns children into killers, it's throws walls up between countries and peoples (this is mine you can't have it mentality, these resources are mine I was here first go back to your own country), keeping people divided keeps all the wealth and power in the minority's hands, and they perpetuate that by getting the masses to hate each other...... everyone of the masses wear's a bag over there heads and plays to the tune of the oligarchs.
Money Game II, This is how the Oligarch's keep the masses inline, they hold the carrot of illusion in front of them, they consolidate their grip by creating a system that turns the masses into consumer driven rats, desperate to have the next new thing, and it doesn't matter to the corporations how many resources they use or what mess they make of the planet, because their greed exceeds their compassion it's all about the idolatry of the almighty $.
Money Game III, Ren is shown from the start wearing a hood and being one of the masses, it's only when he removes the hood that the story of Jimmy starts, Jimmy isn't one of the masses he is intelligent and smart and could succeed in life from virtually any starting point, unfortunately he is pressured from a very early age to think of money and power to be the only things that have any value in this World, Jimmy strives to live up to his fathers expectations and will go to any length to get that approval, it is only when his father dies does Jimmy realise he will never get that approval and from then his life declines, the saddest part of the song for me is that Jimmy's first passionate thing in life is at 38 when he spends the night with a prostitute (I think that was deliberately put there by Ren) Imagine being super rich and powerful, having built a financial empire, stood at the side of the rich and powerful, having power and influence over others, yet the first moment of passion you have in your life, you have to pay someone to give you!.
Jimmy starts as a metaphor for society in general and his father represents the goals set by the Oligarchs and Corporations that control the financial strings that the hooded masses of society are forced to work towards, their is no sharing of wealth in those goals.
Ren is not Anti-Capitalist, he recognises the value in individuality and human needs for self improvement and progression, Ren also recognises that "people" are being forced to give up on their passions simply because they can not afford to pay rent or put food on the table.... How many Mozart's have never been heard, Poems/Novels never been read or Paintings never been seen simply because the people who would have written that music or that book or painted that scene had to give up on that passion because they simply had to eat? That is where the line between what the Oligarchs/Corporations desire for themselves and what Society "needs" to grow and develop has been crossed, we as the human race are stagnating in an enforced consumer driven society and Ren is simply highlighting that fact.
I don't disagree.
More ren please
Coming
Hood& rope = hostage to the game
❤❤❤
The globe stops on south america 😂
.... huh?
I think Ren likes to leave his music open to interpretation (duhh, i know), to me the sack represents the populace. The people are blind, or desensitized, to the workings of the world. Ren represents the system, regardless of whether it is working or not. He is the ideology. There is conflit within the ideology, which is why he wanted to rail against the populace, but realized that it is him, the ideology, that is the problem. He thought he was showing the populace the problem (the drawing of the eyes, opening them but they still dont really see). And his solution was to destroy the idology.
I should have wrote this for part 1 but the sack was again mentioned here and i just started writing
❤❤❤ so good
Don’t think his art is whining and complaining. It’s designed to make people think. And I do a ton first I raised three young men who all contribute to society.
Never said he was whining and complaining. Simply stating that continual complaining without offering a suggestion/solution is just noise.
💜💜💜
Incredible video and trilogy. However, i really hope no one uses this video to learn proper firearm safety....
Ren wouldn't want you to use it for safety. He was becoming unhinged, he was acting like a crazy man. Like movies when they are firing away to kill someone, they are not using trigger discipline either. 😉
This video is art. A piece of art and you pause it that many times like it's I don't know garbage? The hubris of some of you reactors is insane
Go watch the original than. It’s linked in the description. Hubris 🤣
Money bag imoji ?
collectively we can find a better way to change people's hearts for the better. Christ gave us the answer 2000 some odd years ago. love your neighbor as you love yourself, but now ill be accused of preaching. im not i didn't even mention the other half of that formula.
Amen
So frustrating watching North Americans completely lose focus when the gun appears. It's sad tbh...
I didn’t “completely lose focus.” I simply observed his poor technique during those 5 seconds.
