I was one of those people excitedly anticipating (and supportively encouraging) your reaction to this MV, and I’m SO happy you’ve seen it now! Great video & interpretations, but even more than that I’m just glad you finally got to experience this work of art, because I knew you’d love it. It’s a film for filmmakers and a work of art for artists 😊 I hope you get to experience Come back to me MV in the future too - while strikingly different than LOST! in many ways, it is similarly thought provoking, artistic, and visually stunning. It’s also good to keep in mind this was the 2nd MV released (Come back to me was 1st) and I’d love to hear your thoughts on how Come back to me sets the stage for LOST! to follow. Always a pleasure to see your reactions & insights!
I appreciate you mentioning that you suspect we're not necessarily meant to get it all. I think there has to be value in him just having a medium to express himself. And really, every person has to come to terms with the frustration of not being completely understood a lot of the time. I like the notion that, maybe, parts of it are kept for himself. Your commentary, as usual, definitely gave me a better appreciation for the video. Thanks!
thanks for this, it was an amazing reaction! made me view the video is a different light which was hard considering i've seen it an insane amount of times at this point!
AAAAAAhhhhhhh so glad to see you reacted to this !! Love your analysis so much thank you for sharing, it's so interesting to see how much we can interpret it and how deep it can be (It's Namjoon I shouldn't be surprised). Thank you !!
Hey friend! I never see moots in the YT comments lol. Cedric is ARMY for awhile now and truly such a good reactor (and a good guy) - check out his other reactions if you have time
@lissah.1925 Hey Melissa! Neither have I, hehe! Good to 'encounter' you here. So sweet of you letting me know. I did watch most of his reactions. I will definitely check out to see if I have missed any. Thank you so much, my dear!
You mentioned how an artist (or someone who deeply appreciates art, like RM) can see things in frames, which immediately sent me thinking back to RM’s “Still Life” off of Indigo. The temptation of giving in to being LOST as opposed to being “still alive” even if the frame remains “untitled”. I *think* you have reacted to Still Life, but it might be interesting to look at it through the context of Lost! (How do you correctly punctuate after a title which is already punctuated???). Thanks for making me think, and congratulations on your work!
I had the same thought! “Still Life” was exactly my frame of reference (pun intended) there, and this, I think, could be considered something of an interesting sequel to it. Thanks for watching!!
Bravo to a great reaction video. I laughed so many times. You expressed the joy, confusion, and contemplation I feel when I watch this MV. I appreciate you and Ceditor's insights. I totally missed the consistent theme of frames (camera, windows, the dark space around the sets...).
Such an insightful analysis! I loved this MV so much and I couldn’t understand exactly why beyond the obvious, but after watching your reaction, I have a better understanding of my own! Also, your commentary humor is top-notch and legitimately reminded me a couple of the characters in The Coroners assistant 😂. Also, when you were talking to yourself and slapping yourself, I wondered if this is how you read script 🤣. Fantastic reaction as always Cedric!
Yeah... I think we KNEW you'd appreciate this mv. Yes, it is complex. Your reaction is probably the best that you or anyone can give. I agree that this is partly personal too for Namjoon, so, understandably , we won't really get all of the meanings behind it, but don't need to anyway. Music/Art is subjective and I think you got what you needed out of his music video. Thank you for reacting to it. I knew I needed to hear what your thoughts and perspectives would be on this video of his to see other ways to understand it.
So glad you enjoyed it and that I was able to add to your experience. I think you’re right - it’s such a personal exploration that we can’t get it all, but I think he’s inviting our own experience to it as well. Thanks for watching!
Congratulations Cedric on all your ongoing projects, happy for you!! RM certainly stands out as a genius creator and you've been given permission to stretch your wings, fly Cedric 🥳🦋
oh Cedric, you're off to a good start 🤣 "there's an exclamation point, i know how to read" 🤣 perfect 👏👏👏 and yeah, you definitely brought up a lot of interesting points! Thank you for working through this 🤗💜
I watched today “While you were sleeping” (Sandra Bullock & Bill Pullman). When she wants to escape the hôpital room, the EXIT sign she stared was red … I think about it watching it
Hey there! Thanks for watching. Very few of my videos can be monetized due to copyright. I do this because I love it and because I love BTS. Also - I am an expert! Check out IMDb. I’m a full-time actor, writer, and director. My videos aren’t for everyone, and I understand if you didn’t like it, but I’d appreciate it if my integrity isn’t questioned. I’m not sure why you felt the need to make such a hostile comment, but I hope you know that I do this with love. There are plenty of the folks you’re describing out there, you’re right - but I’m not one of them. Blessings, Cedric

I love that. I think you're dead on - he understood it, and that was the point. Great comment. Thank you!

Finally, a great reaction to this piece of art. Thank you so much!!! We appreciate it.
No problem 😊 thanks for watching!

Haha happy to provide laughs, obliged to provide the confusion 😂 thanks for watching!
"I'm gonna have to talk about this in therapy."
Lol
"He's just so much smarter than me" Yup, we all feel that!
Man, the way you break concepts down is amazing. Such as, Claymation as a concept that is a person in our brain thats still moldable 🤯
Such an insightful analysis! I loved this MV so much and I couldn’t understand exactly why beyond the obvious, but after watching your reaction, I have a better understanding of my own!

Haha there’s definitely some TCA humor here 😂 thanks so much for watching the show and this video - means the world!
Amazing reaction! You are awesome reactor. Thanks for taking time out of your life to do this.
My pleasure!! Thanks so much for watching :)

if this is just a glimpse of what's inside NamJoon's brain 🤯, then wow. borahae💜
Congratulations Cedric on all your ongoing projects, happy for you!! RM certainly stands out as a genius creator and you've been given permission to stretch your wings, fly Cedric 🥳🦋
oh Cedric, you're off to a good start 🤣 "there's an exclamation point, i know how to read" 🤣

Thank you! 😃
Only forty seconds in and I want to hug you out of sheer appreciation
(it's Bobby btw, not a complete random stranger)
Namjoon showing his personas
Different characters so cool
I really loved your reaction and your insightful thoughts ❤
I'm glad you liked it.
I find this MV interesting like the one of Balming Tiger - Sexy Nukim (RM is featuring)
The odd image vs the meaning they represent
Agreed. Perhaps not surprising as San Yawn co-produced this song with RM
BTS always make us think - they are fantastic and yes - it is art 💜💜💜
That scream feels real :) Borahae Cedric!
Borahae!
I'm excited for the other mvs too!! They are all so different. I really need your take on Domodachi, bc wow!!
and congrats on everything and the three awards
I watched today “While you were sleeping” (Sandra Bullock & Bill Pullman). When she wants to escape the hôpital room, the EXIT sign she stared was red … I think about it watching it
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I can't wait to watch your reaction!!💜🎬
I love your brain.
PLEASE DO JIMIN WHO. You will be mind blown.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜RM
BTS always inspiring fellow artists in different areas!
I'd love to see your take on Lost! imagery.
Gold standard reaction! Any chance that you would consider doing his Come Back to Me video also?
For sure! May be a bit still, but I plan to explore as much of the solo work as I can :)
Great reaction 💜
His real name is Kum Namjoon (last name comes first). It is not pronounced nam like ham, it is pronounced "nom" like Tom. RM is a stage name
Yeah whatever dude. Just another guy making money off BTS by pretending to know something. No thanks
Hey there! Thanks for watching. Very few of my videos can be monetized due to copyright. I do this because I love it and because I love BTS. Also - I am an expert! Check out IMDb.

@@CedricGegel1 We've known you (for years) so please, don't explain yourself for your reaction videos. There are some 'toxic' fans here and there.
@MamaFanBTS That was rude. Have you seen any of his previous reactions? He's a filmmaker and that's what he focuses on.
