I was going over the Smeraldo blog posts and the 'Black Swan' music video the other day and I noticed some similarities between the BU and the +U involving time and people traveling through it. One of the things I wanted to point out was that each universe has one person that represents each period of time--past, present, and future. Seokjin is the past.
Seokjin is constantly going backwards. He wants to fix everything by going back to the root of the issue. He's even the one that agrees to do all this in the first place--when the OEC asks him if he could go back if he would fix everything, he says "yes." I get the sense that something happened that Seokjin has forgotten, likely relating to Jungkook's accident, which is probably why everything keeps going wrong in the plotline.

Thank you, Big Hit ;-; why does this video have to be 19:31 minutes long- We have finally completed the analysis portion of the series. Now, it's time to get to the fun part: the theories. FINAL THEORIES AND NOTES :

Thank you, Big Hit ;-; SECTION SEVEN - Beginning of the End last one you guys we're almost there c'mon- I'm going to kill that stupid fire alarm. The amount of times I've listened to it while writing this analysis is an amount a human being should never have to go through. If I ever hear a fire alarm in my life again, it will be too soon. With that out of the way, we come out in the practice room. Again. With the fire alarm. The boys are just glancing around the room, startled. Nobody seems to be...doing anything though. They're all just staring. (Well, Beomgyu is filming.) The water bottle falls off of the table and the lights go dark. (We also hear that big crash again, meaning it must be connected somehow to the lights going out.) Not even one second later, the lights come back on. Beomgyu is still filming. Taehyun is looking at the window in the back, which is lit up red. Yeonjun and Kai just look confused. And Soobin...is nowhere to be found. (Fig. 7.1) Fig. 7.1 - Where did Soobin go?

Thank you, Big Hit ;-; SECTION FIVE - Moratorium of Rest - Taehyun We start out, slightly differently from the others, with Taehyun sitting and playing with his phone. The audio that's playing is a very slowed-down version of Sweat. He's messing with the headphones, as if he's trying to hear something, maybe? Doesn't matter, as there's this crashing/banging noise and he rips the headphones off, standing up as the lights begin to flash and the fire alarm blares. Interestingly enough, this same crashing noise plays again a few minutes later, while he's looking around the room. Unlike the other three boys (not counting Soobin), he doesn't seem scared of what's happening, he simply seems as if he's trying to analyze where the noises are coming from. This horrible glitching noise plays. The exact same noise that Soobin heard before he found the warp tunnel-thingy in the hallway. I really, really wish I knew what this connection meant or could be implying, but I genuinely have no idea. Why can Taehyun hear that noise? What does it mean? The video cuts to a similar room as Beomgyu and Yeonjun's dreams, except that Taehyun has flowers everywhere. They're mainly purple and white, and look quite similar to Magic Island, leading me to believe that that's where he is. The most interesting thing to me about this cut, however, is that there is no audio. Nothing. Not even white noise. Just...dead silence. None of the others did this. Soobin obviously had the sound of the warp-tunnel-thingy. Yeonjun's dream faded out the fire alarm before putting in some white noise and a small "boop" noise when the light kicked on. Beomgyu's dream had this sort of ethereal-sounding chimes/choir playing in the background. Kai's (which we'll get to shortly) had wind blowing in the background. But Taehyun? Nothing. It's silent except for the sounds of him shifting on the grass. A few minutes later, a gentle wind starts to blow, but even then, it's very quiet. While Taehyun might not have been freaked out by whatever happened in the practice room, this dream-scape-thing is quite obviously putting him on edge--he keeps turning around, looking for something. (Fig. 5.1) Fig. 5.1 - What is he looking for? I would guess just anything. Something, so that he didn't feel so alone. TW: I'm sure if you're reading this, you've probably seen the MV.

Thank you, Big Hit ;-; SECTION FOUR - Room Number 17 - Beomgyu We're thrown straight back into the action, with the practice room again. Beomgyu is looking around, filming everything with his phone. He only puts it down when he ends up in a dark room, with nothing around him. (Similar to Yeonjun, actually.) Suddenly, a line of mirrors crashes towards him. When it reaches him, rather than stopping, it goes directly through him, to create a straight line as far as the eye can see. Beomgyu now seems to be in the mirror, as if it's his reflection or something. (Fig. 4.1) He reaches out as if to touch it, but stops himself. (Or maybe something stops him? It's hard to tell.) He doesn't seem scared, just startled. Just as abruptly as they appeared, the mirrors vanish, replacing themselves with one single wooden door directly behind him. There is a single number on the door--17--and a golden knob. That's it. Fig. 4.1 - That doesn't usually bode well... TW: I'm sure if you're reading this, you've probably seen the MV.

Thank you, Big Hit ;-; SECTION TWO - Song of a Star - Soobin We start out right where we left off--Soobin is traveling down a warp tunnel/train thing. As he walks down the tunnel a little bit, the lights around him start to blur and distort until he is transported into what appears to be a memory. He starts to walk forward, although you can't make any of it out. One of the things that floats past him looks a little bit like one of the kids' masks from NOAS MV. (Fig. 2.1) Another looks like a scary face. (Fig. 2.2) Fig. 2.1 - Could this be the blue mask from NOAS? TW: I'm sure if you're reading this, you've probably seen the MV.

Thank you, Big Hit ;-; SECTION ONE - The Night of the Last Day "On the night of the last day, the world lay in shattered ruins. Darkness descended on the boys and the night. Memories of a destined future draped slowly over them. The boys asked as they wandered [through] the [maze of nightmares], 'are there no other choices for us?' The boys were thrown into confusion." As are we all, boys. As are we all. With these words, the nineteen minute thirty-one second-long movi--sorry, music video--begins. |
