Black Swan is a masterpiece. You made me fall in love with the song even more. Thank you.
Of course!
Saaame 💜
@@LoveTheBasics thank you for your reactions!!! I love your analysis!
Amen!
If Black Swan was by any Western artist it could have easily got a Grammy
The music video was dropped out of the blue ...it was a total surprise to fans, and it is a huge fan favorite. It really is an artistic masterpiece. I think most of us would agree we wish Black Swan was the song that had been nominated for a Grammy rather than Dynamite. I'm not sure the Grammy's will ever nominate a non-English song by them, though. =\
Facts
couldn't agree more. we wish Black Swan gets more attentions it deserves
Black Swan deserves more recognition, not only by the lyrics, or the melody, but the music video itself is a masterpiece... I really don't know what Gramshit is thinking overlooking this as it were nothing. Western music videos really lack of all the things Black Swan has.
It's a sad fact.
@@seec4856 an absolutely devastating fact because Black Swan in it’s entirety is such a masterpiece
"You can tell he loves to dance"
Yoongi: "He asked me to join the group and promised I didn't have to dance. He lied..."
but i think he overcame that, even though his biggest passion is music and his 2nd biggest passion is lying down lol
"BANG PD-NIM!" 😂
His second biggest passion is lying down. You're not wrong. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Blame the fan account for this.
“I’m a sucker for back lighting” me: “I’m a sucker for jimin...”
Just wanna precise something though: they are talking about the 'fear of losing passion' for what they are doing but when they were asked the question in interviews, they all said that it was not the case right now, they are still loving what they are doing. They just wanted to express those recurrent thoughts that all performers must have: what if I don't like it anymore, what if it all just becomes a job?
Ohhhh
Yeah and Tae actually having a hard time because of that… then it came blue & grey
@@isaviveros1194 yoongi says something about it too on the vlive about d-2, it's something I think every artist goes or fears going through
@@isaviveros1194 I think it had more to do with the actual situation with covid19 than with their love for music. It was mostly a burnout: being exhausted by their work or the way they had to do it (online concerts without crowed, not being able to see Army etc.) doesn't mean they didn't like it anymore...
@@jessicaelle0988 Nono, Tae said that he was having a hard time because he doubted he enjoyed being an artist and that sometimes he felt like it was just a job. He also said that it was normal for an artist to think about that sometimes. Blue & gray was written before covid and during covid, and it was only about him in his darkest moments, but he fixed it to be about all of them.
Blackswan solo dancer is jimin. He is beautiful god of dance.
Dont care
@@Me-tp6ll then why are you here? lol
Solo dancer?? Wdym by that??
@@seokjinshiddenabs2194 cuz in the MV he has a solo, he is the shadow through all the video. Al ser un bailarín contemporáneo, le dieron ese rol a él, dar todo de sí en el baile para trasmitir elegantemente el dolor por la posibilidad de algún día perder su pasión o no ser capaz seguir manifestándola.
@@B__SadiaSiddiquaShaheen oh ok
I guess... Spring Day MV is coming
The queen of all MVs of BTS ~
I cried with this song a LOT. They're talking about the fear of falling out of love with one of your passions. There's a phrase at the beginning of the black swan art film that says: "a dancer dies twice, once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful."
I got so much out of what you had to say and everything you pointed out. It gave me an even greater appreciation for this MV, stopping at so many interesting points. It all goes by so fast when you watch it without stopping. Every frame is a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing yourself! In their speech at the UN, RM encouraged us all to "Speak Yourself", and you're doing just that making these videos.
You can tell every filmmaker like this video a lot😂 from this reaction..they even pause and mention the same things..lol💜
Well you know what
This was the third sing of theirs I discovered in my own race journey into their catalog and it cemented me as hugely impressed and a fan. Thank you for the reaction and viewpoint it’s really insightful from the artistic cinematographic angle (yes a deliberate bad pun).
"shadow" "success without happiness" ...
everything you explained was in their song titled SHADOW ... I hope you see it
Thank you so much. I have seen this MV lots of times, but because of what you shared I saw so many things that were new to me. That was so exciting - I love that you pause and explain what you are seeing. You really seem to like the story so some of the MV explained videos might be helpful - especially for Blood Sweat and Tears (although that one packs so much in from different perspectives a single video can only capture some of the references in the various details). I think you would really like to see Daechwita by Augst D (aka Suga of BTS).
I wish he can react to the wings films tho
I will
I love how to dissected almost each and every frame of this video. I am so obssessed with Black Swan not only because of Jimin's elegance and poise when he dances but because this video in particular is almost like a masterpiece. Everything ties in together, the camera angles, the dance.. it's a whole vibe. One of my favorites from BTS. Thanks for reacting!! I'm enjoying the rest of your videos too. 💜
I like your interpretation “success without happiness” is exactly right, unhappiness to the point of losing the passion for their art. This song has very deep connotations especially because it can apply to anyone’s passion for something in general being lost and how one reminiscent of what one used to love is now lost.
Btw, interlude Shadow is another masterpiece. Is Suga’s solo song from this album.
i love when an intelligent man understands an intelligent's work. I think a lot of armys also should watch you.
You were spot on with the meaning. This song is about an artist's fear of losing passion for their art. Martha Graham, a famous choreographer, said, “a dancer dies twice, once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.” This quote is used in Yoongi's rap at 2:36 and then later mentioned again in Namjoon's rap at 3:35
The line that kills me the most is the repeated “film it now.” They’re scared of losing their passion, of performing with no intent, and regardless all of it is captured and frozen. It’s so simple but such a vulnerable admission that so much of their lives are preserved whether they want it or not, even if they’re faking it.
here from the tiktok you posted about quitting starbucks. this video is so fitting to your situation because ur chasing ur passion and taking a huge leap and i want u to know how inspiring and amazing that is. i wish u the best and i’ll be watching all your videos to support your journey :)
Thank you so much!!
One of the things i really love about BTS music videos is that you can feel their passion through the screen just by looking at them dance or hearing them sing. It captures so many beautiful emotions
Its refreshing when you mainly aim to look at the cinematography bt start resonating with the lyrics as well ...
When watching the behind the scenes you should watch both the whole group and jimins individual scenes
Black swan and blood sweat and tears are next level in cinematography. 2 of my fav MVS. They're art in songwriting and cinematography.
I know this was done a while ago and people probably commented on this but Yoongi doesn't love dancing lol. And that's def not Namjoons original look. Their look was what they perceived as hip hop in the beginning. They've evolved a lot throughout the years.
The song is about the loss of excitement and love that popularity and constant work causes.
I'm going to watch all your videos because your breakdowns are fantastic.
black swan was literally what got me into bts. I'm still mesmerized by every aspect and jimin's ethereal dancing and presence. it's sad how little love it got though.
At 6:03 when you talk about the aisle shot, I think it’s also referencing the fact that even when they aren’t performing, they are being watched. So even when they are off-stage they are under the spotlight. And they are also alone. Because of their fame, they haven’t had many opportunities to meet people and to just go out. So I feel that it symbolizes the result of their success and the reason why it’s difficult to find the “light” in their ocean
Black swan is a masterpiece. The song, the lyrics and the mv
I am so happy to see someone who reacts to their music and truly understanding the depth in every lyric.... not a lot of people understand this from BTS.
The greatest and coolest thing.. and what makes BTS special is that they write their songs themselves... they're just great at everything.… .🖤
Blackswan is an art…any one who is into art: be at visual arts(architecture included), literary, or performance arts, will know what the core of this song is about--passion. And this music video showed every form of art--from the setting ,music(lyrics), dance ,cinematography,story.
The way you use cinematography to understand the whole story is so amazing. Thank you for making me love this song even more.
this song is everyone's special song in the whole fandom, and this mv too its just hits where no one else did
I can say that Black Swan has the best cinematography out of all their MVs
Black Swan really is a masterpiece. It's BTS's artistic triumph.
I really love hearing your insights as a filmmaker some of which I'm hearing for the first time. I've been constantly amazed by their lyrics, choreography, and the total aesthetics of their MVs, and I know they're really rich on details but now it makes me appreciate the whole work behind these MVs on a whole different level cause most of what you're saying makes perfect sense. Even with that 360 camera angle, I didn't think there could be more than just the beauty of the angle. I'm learning a lot from your reactions actually so thanks! 💜
This was the song that brought me into bts.
I watched the performance on James Corden on a whim and was just floored by it. 💜
Blackswan is not only about dancing cause not all of them have passion for that but it’s more about making music and doing what they’re doing
I wanted it to never end! The lyrics,the music,the cinematography
They honestly know how to grip your heart at the VERY end.
Just when I thought I've loved black swan enough, your analysis just made me open my heart more on the details I wasn't able to see. And it made me love the song ten thousand times more.
My most favorite BTS song and MV. Such a masterpiece. I feel that BTS showed their vulnerability thru this song, but the production, mv everything is so strong.
I would say they are in love with Performing and the various forms that can take for the individual members.
I hope you can meet them or they can see your MV cinematography reactions because it makes us ARMY understand their handwork into a deeper level. Gives me chills actually as well. GREAT JOB!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Your analysis just made me fall in love with black swan all over again! You're amazing!
I just want to thank you for really taking your time with these videos and providing really thoughtful, insightful and poignant perspectives. It’s really beautiful to see someone who was previously mostly unfamiliar with BTS be moved and show such appreciation for their work in all of its facets. The moments where you’re at a loss for words, I very much felt the same way each and every time and so it’s great to see someone else feel things deeply in this way. Thank you!
“Film out,” I would love to see you react to it. Funny you said about earlier…sneers and heavy eyeliner, but with the dancing and music..the potential is unmatched.
With everything BTS does, they put their heart on it, for the LOVE OF THEIR CRAFTS (the reason why they do what they're doing) and for THEIR LOVE FOR ARMYs ( they're showing how grateful and happy they are). BTS also always have the say in everything of their projects and they always work hard to meet their goal. They're so goofy and chaotic bunch of clowns but in their work they're like another person💜on their MVs and performances they put their hearts and souls on it, it's why ARMY like myself just get drawn to it... I can say it's so special when a certain thing is performed with sincerity... 💜For me Sincerity is synonymous of BTS. Thank you for giving time in discovering BTS works, I really appreciate that and thank you for sharing your thoughts about this video, I sees and understand more of it now just by watching and listening to you. Thank you🙏💜
They should give credits to those people who make the mv look like this. They should just show the names of camera person, director and everyone. Just like how the names come after the movie is finished. I get pissed off when no one really appreciates their efforts to make the mv look this beautiful.
They should have movie credits
They put credits on the description tho, they always do.
@@hobiflower. oh come on who opens description box in a mv? I mean they should include their names in the video at the very end.
@@asskjih Who? Maybe not everyone but we do, on twitter we talk about it, and it's not like they haven't already put credits to their MV in the past, Run, the Prologue, they've already done it. Unfortunately, it's sad but for the stream, a longer video is less effective. Some artists don't even bother to put all the details they put under the videos so it's still great. ^^
@@lyna2559 I respect them to put their names but it would be great if they just extend the video for a 1 or 2 second to show their names. But at the end of the day, if it works, it works.
This song is the very reason I became an ARMY,,,,, THIS IS JUST SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING 🤧💜,, Thank you so much for reacting to Black Swan ❤️
I can not stop listen and watch Black Swan - it is a masterpiece
I really like how you interpret things, it's interesting and I just love how you research for its meaning. Spring day next, please? 🥺💜
I love your break down of their songs. Their songs have deeper meaning and hit hard for some. 💜
I love love love this MV. This is a masterpiece.
Black Swan is about the fear of losing the passion or ability to perform...A performers "first death"
I LOVE THE WAY YOU TALK OMG !!!! I'm Brazilian, not fluent in English but I can understand every single word you say without subs 😊 love your voice, the passion you have about your job and I'm an ARMY sooooo in conclusion: PERFECTION ❤️
Yes! Their lyrics are really deep!
Whatever you said is all correct. Like this song is about their fear of one day losing their passion for dancing, hence the line "what if the moment is right now"
But thank you for this video! It's amazing how you could just do the interpretations just by only watching the mv and lyrics, with the fact that you're new to BTS.
And yes! They produce (with some in-house prod.) and write their own lyrics. All of them do but the main ones are RM (leader), J-Hope and Suga.
This song also makes me feel some type of way... feeling sad is one of the emotions I feel when watching but I love this song so much💜💜
The wings scene they had you'll like the reference of the movie Black Swan being connected with this.
I'm amazed how fast you catch things from a scene!
it was filmed at the Los Angeles Theater which was built 1n 1930/31 in the French Baroque style.
They also filmed both versions of "ON" in Los Angeles area at the same time.
I become an ARMY because of "Black Swan". It's already touching, which made me burst into tears for the first times watching it, and now I've got to know how the cinematography tells the story, it hits totally different. Now I can enjoy this masterpiece like the very first time. Thank you Alex I'll subscribe to this channel, your videos are really educational, you make me fall in love with cinematography. Keep going :3
i have liked bts from 2018 foward but with ur videos I can understand and feel the message of their songs so much more
I am binge watching your videos, you make me fall in love with BTS’s cinematography more and more plus your analysis is so good
i think this is the best reaction i've ever watched
like everyone is reacting to BTS to get views, but u truly went too far in the details ily
The difference in colors and styles I believe represents their persona on stage and that in fact they also have darkness
I really love your reaction, your interpretation of this mv was very good
I watched a reaction to black swan (only the music not the video) where the guy, who is part part of the army, cried. Literally he read the lyrics and fell the fells you know? Like when you started to talk about how you feel the feels but can't explain the feeling ... it's BTS working on you basically 😂 Namjoon (RM) is the main composer on the group and Yoongi (Suga) produce their music with the big hit's team... I mean, I am part of some fandoms through the year, and now at 23 I do believe that BTS are the epiphany of music. I'm talking about goin at every detail and not stopping to make something out of love.
Ok you have got to watch the performance of black swan when they was on late night tv ..trust me it’s one of my many favorites performances
Thank you for giving such a deep and beautiful reaction to a song that holds such a deep meaning to me 💜
I am a new subscriber and i love your reactions, insights and the additional knowledge that you share coming from a creative background. I really love the cinematic approach BTS and their team have with their MVs. As well as the meaning behind every creative output and the references they keep through out their songs and MVs that tie all of their output into such a historical landscape of the BTS universe.
Black swan is so underrated 💜.
BTW. I love your reactions, keep up the good work
You have to watch the art film mv version of black swan! So beautiful
Oooh I was waiting for this! Knew you'd like the video, it's so gorgeous
I really love how you've been so keen to react to their past music videos! I've always found that their past music videos are always filled with so much meanings through their lyrics, dance, cinematography etc!!! Sort of like what Bong joonho said for the Parasite movie's acceptance speech, "if we're able to overcome the one inch barrier of subtitles, it opens you up to a whole new world". I love how you've been so open to find out more about their music videos and music and finding out their artistry!!!
Thanks to your reaction I love this song even more.
Youve won a new subscriber here.. i love how you reacts genuinely with their videos..
First of all thank you for taking time and giving us this awesome in depth reaction on this and all other BTS MV that you have been doing so far. Watch all of them and love every single of them. Looking forward to see next one and hopefully we will get this Black Swan MV behind the scene reaction as well! I also think that Spring Day would be great choice.
Secondly, BTS really do have a passion for dance but in this situation they said that this quote from Martha Graham- ''A dancer dies twice -once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful'' is more indication to their music. Actually it is aimed to all artist in any artform and I am sure that is the reason why you felt moved by this songs message and visual aspects, being artist yourself!
Actually they have another Black Swan MV that came out before this one. Its Black Swan Art Film performed by MN Dance Company which is more orchestra driven and has beautiful contemporary dancers from Slovenia. If you interested the link is here: ua-cam.com/video/vGbuUFRdYqU/v-deo.html Its also cinematic with a beautiful location but because I know that you are not that into choreography I am not sure how much you would like it. If you want to you can check it out, if not that's fine too.
Thank you again for all those very knowledgeable reactions and truly cannot wait another one.
Black Swan, one of their more beautiful MV's. I know some people have had to recommend, Spring Day. That's layers of story telling. Also Mic drop is just fun to watch
Thank you for reviewing the MV for BTS songs from your point of view in a language that is easy for me to understand.. I have gained more knowledge. I've loved watching blackswan ballet performances since I was little. I was amazed by the way BTS presented their version of blackswan...all the members worked hard, even Jimin, he was really good at dancing. This MV presents the art of dance, cinematography, choreography, the theater is also beautiful with their unique vocal mix, the mix becomes their extraordinary version of blackswan...
Been waiting for your reaction to black swan mv, thank you!
Hey.
You should see their first video No more dreams. Then you can see how far they have come, when it comes to music videos
I really adore your videos ,, I mean how easily u can understand the meaning even if u r not an ARMY , like all the small details that u admire (can find) and also u make me fall in love even more with filmmaking, like mostly ppl just see their pretty faces and that’s it, but u with ur videos can show actually even more about all the hard work and passion even just about making videos for music
Omg it's a good thing that experts like you break videos like these down for us so we can appreciate them even more! I loved this song a lot already, think it's a masterpiece, but all the explanations you gave and how it goes with the lyrics just makes it all even more perfect. So thank you for that! I'm definitely subscribing!
The scene where he sits in the aisle - what I personally interpreted it was that there was a spot light on him which means as a famous person he is always watched or is always in the spotlight which can make him feel lonely. Also I saw your other videos where you saw “shadow” as a past self but in actuality shadow is your unconscious state of mind which has a dark personality hence the colour black. This reference is from a book called Map of the soul by Carl Jung. Its very deep in psychology but for this album they have taken the references from this book. Shadow is not past self necessarily but your own hidden self. Hope this helps. Love your perspective though.
Wow I've watched this music video so many times since it is one of my fav song but I never knew about so much cinematic details!! Thank you 😊
"This was probably how he did his hair a couple years ago"
I'm screaming
I literally love the way you talk about and interpret everything in the music videos :((
The center position holds meaning in kpop. Jin is in the center of the mirrors, 3 on his left & 3 on his right, that represent the other band members. I suspect use of the entire theater has meaning as well. From on stage - to back stage - to lobby - to dressing room - to the aisle in front of house - to mezzanine.
I'm a new kpop stan so sorry if I'm wrong.
Thank you for reacting to the Black Swan mv! I live that you're digging deeper into lyrics as well. I knew you'd love that transition ❤
Smiled so wide when you guessed at RMs original hair style 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Please watch ‘We are bulletproof’ from 2013... please...
omg i just love seeing your reactions, im a big fan of bts and had seen their mvs sooooo many times, but its like im seeing it for the first time because of the way you share your thoughts and teach us some of your filmmaking knowledge. i am really happy that i can see this mv again but
through your perspective
I know Jimin studied contemporary dance but I saw a little ballet elegance mixed in. I also saw him brush his hair with his fingers to the beat of the music. (Forget what that was called but is very cool right before he “falls” into the dark.) I love finding videos of Jimin’ dancing. Seems he can do just about any style.
I got a lot of chill when I saw it for the first time even when I did not know what the lyrics ... it is really beautiful video ... you should react to "shadow" by suga one of BTS member ,, it is talking about similar idea also the mv beautiful
I enjoy your enthusiasm about the visuals and cinematography. I like learning from the the things you point out and your explanations. Thank you.
I thought I knew everything about this video (as if that were possible🤔) but you added lots of new things to see and think about. I've subscribed.
You should check out the other official MV called 'Black Swan' Art Film by MN Dance Company. It's the one under HYBE official channel.
Black Oceans also represent when fans turn off their blinking lights at a show to show disrespect while you're performing your best. It also represents turning your back against the people you once supported. So to them, if what they do no longer resonates with their fans and somehow causes them to feel disrespected or disconnected from them, then what is the point of all of their work?
"That's probably how he looked when they first debuted"
So who's gonna tell him about RM's hair in no more dream💀
I think that, like you said at 6:16 is definitely true. The spotlight is shining on Jimin and is carefully avoiding showing the audience, what would be empty chairs. So he can't see how many people there are, he can't see his success from the bottom of a dark ocean.
Your reviews are amazing. The way you can look indepth and all is just amazing. I really enjoyed watching 💜🙏
