DREAMCATCHER ODD EYE + DYSTOPIA Trilogy Explained - For more Dreamcatcher Theories, Explanations and Analyses, check out the Dreamcatcher Playlist: • DREAMCATCHER Theories,... Follow me on Twitter! :D / bookisht_s
Has anyone also noticed that Scream is set in the past, BOCA in the present, and Odd Eye in the future? Just look at their clothes and setting and you'd see that they are centuries apart from each other.
Yes! YEEES! Someone finally addressed this! I thought I was the only one! Scream looked like it was set back on ancient times with the cloaks, the pillars and ehem SuA's sword. Boca is modern: the dance ver set itself looks like an alley you would see near a busy street. While odd eye is future: look at gahyeon's monitor. With this, it also makes more sense how their music evolve with the setting. Odd eye sounds more futuristic, More electronic than the other two.
Umm. The whole thing is really a souped-up, 3-part, short history about the issue of internet bullying. It is supposed to be in chronological order. How social media has begun creating/enabling online bullies, then the fight against it finally to succumb to the evils of social media, anonymity, and the ease it allows people to be who they really are - assholes - and there is no "cure" for it. The internet has enabled people to act in any manner they desire. For some, it is the key to unlocking their inner ugliness.
SAME THOUGHTS! It just really show no matter what era you are there, the hates will also be there too (basically to show how we never have the utopia since beginning..)
It's kinda sad that the story didn't have a happy ending, but I think it's realistic. Dreamcatcher's 'utopia' is the world without any hate, but it's impossible because human will find their way to spread any hate, even after given an understanding why hating on something/someone is not healthy. In the end, they realized that even they couldn't find their utopia, Dreamcatcher would still spreading positive message, hoping they could change someone's perspective on hate even just one person.
@@dreamywhales Utopia is basically lasting happiness and peace right? I agree with Jiu. It is within. And I suspect that Jiu has found it within herself already to some extent. ( :
True, but some things are a fairytale with a happy ending. It would be nice for some of Dreamcatcher's title track stories to end happily while sending a good message. Not everything ends badly in life. So a bit of variety would be nice for a change.
@@brianlittrell797 First of all I never said everything has a bad ending. Second, the nightmare series did have a happy ending. Third, the dystopia series doesn’t have a bad ending it has a realistic one because it’s about real life. If you listened to what the members said, utopia is not a real place, everyone should try to find their own utopia in their heart.
@@micpie9480 I know you didn't say that. I said what I said as a lead up progression to my main point which is that I'd like to see them express a brighter, happier, more uplifting story for a change while still keeping the same rock sound that they always do. I'm talking about the title tracks. Actually a lot of people say that nightmare series had an unhappy ending. There are different interpretations. In other words it wasn't clear. Dystopia series definitely has an unhappy ending. Most people agree with this. And realistic endings can be happy. Yes, I agree with what you said at the end Utopia is inside of us. Utopia being lasting peace, happiness and fulfillment.
It's amazing how much effort was invested to get this powerful message across!! The ending is sad yes but the truth is, there is no utopia because this matter specifically is getting out of hand and it doesn't look like it'll be over anytime soon. Still, it's a hopeful ending because at least it illustrated the ugliness of the consequences so the audience will see it and be able to open their eyes.
Except the songs didn't convey their message clearly enough. Explicitly enough. The lyrics of the songs was not clear enough and only people like you who invest some time to research the meaning of the lyrics and the message behind the songs will actually know what the message is.
I appreciate all your hard work; breaking down and explaining Dreamcatcher's MV's. I'm so proud of you and them, for how far they're coming from and all the hard work
I absolutely loved this explanation. The girls themselves and through their videos did an amazing job telling their story, as well as spreading their messages on their own. But, hearing your analysis definitely wrapped up everything into a nice lesson I would gladly take anything, especially if Dreamcatcher were the teachers lol. This video made me love their music so much more, they truly are artists creating works of art in all aspects. Even with how hopeless reality might seem, Dreamcatcher has been that beacon of hope for a better tomorrow ever since I discovered them. They've gotten me through so many dark times and I owe them so much. I feel Insomnia can relate and I'm so grateful for the community they've created.
I also thought that they included many references of classic dystopian stories, like clockwork orange, ready player one, etc., which is so freaking cool if it's true.
@@hualeah985 of course! Disclaimer: i am a casual listener to dreamcatcher, so I don't know the girls's names, nor their lore/plotline. The first thing that stood out to me that could be a reference was the girl that appears in 1:17 in the MV, which has thick fake lashes under her odd eye, which could be an obvious reference to clockwork orange. The book and the movie are extremely graphic, including very violent r*pe scenes, so I don't recommend anyone reading/watching it, but the themes are very relevant to Dreamcatcher's message. It talks about neutrality, how people can turn a blind eye to violence as long as they can be provided with a way to alienate themselves and be safe in their bubble. In the book, the parents of the protagonist do nothing to stop their son of committing awful crimes, never leave their house and don't care about it, since they have a tv show that lulls them to sleep every night. The book is also about the inheritance of evil, if people are born evil or not, and, if they are, if we should intervene in their nature to stop them. In the book, Alex goes through a psychological experiment that leaves him disgusted about even thinking of comitting the crimes he did, but he is also left powerless, and the author's intention was to say that good acts that don't come from free will are meaningless, that being good should be a choice. The Ready Player One references could be me misinterpreting anime/manga references that I simply don't know, because it's less a specific moment and more the entire vibe. Throughout the MV we see the girls touching technology and seemingly entering it, since it starts to bleed and mix with the world they are in. In 1:03 a poster written "reality" appears in the back, and it's a present theme in Ready Player One, since it's about a dystopian Earth in which people can take shelter into a virtual reality called the OASIS. The OASIS, in this case, is the utopia, and the book makes it very clear that, even though it's almost a perfect place, it doesn't actually exist, since it's virtual. The book also touches upon what is reality and what is the importance of people having a place to escape in a terrible world, and how people still cling to this escape, this illusion, even when the virtual reality becomes as aggressive as the real world, which is what the internet became, full of bullies, canceling, on top of the abusers, nazis and other awful people that already existed there. The MV also seems to touch upon the cyperpunk motif of technology having advanced beyond our means to adapt to it, creating a space between it and our quality of life ("high tech, low life"), but this could all be anime and manga and I wouldn't know :( There is a girl with double lines drawn on her cheeks and I am almost positive i've seem it before, but I have no idea where \_o_/ Anyway, hope I helped!
Ahh, I'm so glad you explained it! At first I was sad to see the tragic ending, but with your explanation everything makes a lot more sense. Thanks for your videos, you're literally the best!
If I'm not Mistaken and Remember My Psychology Classes Correctly it was Psychologist Carl Jung who said we go through life putting on a Facade or "Mask" if you will. That we tend to be a different Person depending on circumstances and setting etc.
Thank you so much for the subs, I speak spanish and it's easier for me to understand by reading than listening. I really loved Odd Eye and I was looking for theories, you are awesome 💓💓
You always enlighten us. Well, not me, but everyone else. I'm still stuck on Hillary's emails. Lol. Just kidding. Your analysis is always thoughtful and entertaining. Thanks.
As always, your videos are amazing. We need more BU content, thank you Dreamcatcher to keep us entertained meanwhile. I don’t think it’s such a bad ending. If you see the utopia as being the fake world of the internet, then waking up and realizing it’s not an utopia isn’t such a bad thing. As in Deja Vu, there is a lot of perception play in the dystopia series. What could be the “bad” self could also be interpreted as the “woken” self. The “bad” persona shot the “good” persona or the “woke” persona shot the “sleeping” persona. It’s all a matter of perspective. Also, the similarities to the storyline from King’s Raid are immense and obviously on purpose. The use of a tree for example, although they name the tree differently, it can’t be a coincidence that the world of King’s Raid also has a huge tree in its lore. The way that Kasel spent 9 chapters of the game looking for the dark lord to kill him with his big shiny godly sword, only to realize the dark lord was the previous king who fought the dark lord and was consumed by it and who was his dad and the sword had been corrupted so every time he used it he was falling into corruption himself. He then sacrificed himself, knowingly, to free his father from the burden of being the dark lord, knowing he’d turn into the dark lord himself. His best friend getting swallowed by the darkness with him and his other companions deciding to stay behind with them. Literally resets the game and you start over with new characters because everyone was killed or corrupted. The parallels are undeniable.
I was wondering when you were going to do an analysis on Dreamcatcher "Odd Eye" mv. I still haven't watched the music video yet, I should go catche up on it and then comeback here lol.
What happens is that dystopia, hate, conflict on the outside is caused by pain, suffering, unhappiness that is experienced on the inside. The outside is an expression of the inner state of being/state of mind.
