This Painful Masterpiece is Dimash’s soul pleading to the World. I have no words, as my heart, body and soul are aching for Dimash. I believe Dimash Qudaibergen Has thousands of souls in him. How can one young man be so in tune in everything he does. His passion for The world, his country, his parents, his siblings, his friends, and especially his music is extraordinary !!! We are all so blessed to be a part of his outstanding journey!!I am so proud to be a Dear!! 💐💐❤️❤️ Thanks for your genuine reaction to this phenomenal artist, Dimash and MV!!! Thank you Dimash, for staying true to yourself!! We’re Choosing Life!!!
The 3 kids are Dimash the woman (his wife) and the dictator. Dimash and his wife had the little girl that died and his wife gave birth to the new boy (wearing the symbol). The wife died during childbirth and the Dimash at the end wearing the symbol is the baby grown up. Yes, every voice (other than the woman screaming) is Dimash’s.
Hi! Dimash wrote the music of this masterpiece for 3 years, except for the script, the idea, the development of the role, vocals, orchestration, arrangement, and cast selection. The financial cost of the clip is $ 7 million. Dimash paid for his own creation. At that time, He completed his bachelor's degree, master's degree at the university, and began writing his doctoral dissertation. He was engaged in conducting solo concerts in different countries. He composed other works. The film was shot in 20 days, for the first time he performed this work at a concert in Almaty on 09.23.2022. It was a shock that was impossible to recover from. It is on his channel in YT. Just don't watch the funk, but the recording from the concert. This is a great civic and musical treasure! Dimash leaves life on stage!
You can see him (react to him) doing this live at the Almaty concert. You got it mostly right. Just those three had the tokens. The child born at the end is the couple's second child (first child dies), who will carry on the peace that his parents could not achieve. The woman dies at childbirth.
This is a masterpiece from DIMASH. He definitely is the best male vocalist in the world. He is an ambassador for peace ! Thank you for the great reaction. Greetings from Vietnam 🇻🇳.
The Almaty performance was not live: what we heard was identical to the track of this video. So there is no point watching the Almaty performance. I keep wondering why people expect Dimash to sing an arduous monster song like this live at the end of a 4h concert. He would kill his voice! However, in some concerts he sings the first half live, while the second part is playback.
@@mmsminimalmusic3110 Даже если выступление не было полностью "живым" - бесценны эмоции, с которыми он исполняет эту композицию на концерте. Этим эмоциям веришь полностью!
Creo que después de algunos años del estreno,eres el primero que con dudas pero entiende su vídeo,la razón simplemente de hacerlo es ver y y hacer ver qué con la guerra nadie gana,todos perdemos,y su principal inquietud son los niños por eso los representa como la niña que era su hija en el vídeo,para demostrar que no solo los mayores" pierden y sufren sino los niños que nada tienen que ver en estás guerras ideadas solo por alguien que quiere poder y dinero,Dimash es embajador de paz,además de un impresionante cantante y actor💯👏😍❤️
Hola te escribo desde Venezuela, el vídeo es impactante, pero como una Dears te recomiendo ver a Dimash cantándola en vivo en uno de sus conciertos... Es más impactante... Te la recomiendo. El concierto de Almaty.
This story is so beautiful, tragic, and everything in between. The older boy chose to save the young Dimash, only to let anger & jealousy dictate the outcome of all 3 children when the girl chose Dimash to love as an adult. He, Dimash, Dimash’s wife, and their daughter paid the price with blood & life. The baby that was born right as Dimash & his wife died, is the man in the desert at the end. 10:58 when the baby girl was picking up her bear, the dictator’s soldier cocked his gúñ & took her lìfę.. 🤬💔😭 11:59 The range of voices in speaking and singing octaves alone is mind boggling!! Every single male AND female sound other than the wife’s cries in childbirth and the light background choir are all Dimash. 🤯🤯🤯 There is legit, NO ONE ELSE LIKE HIM!! We ALL get stunned over & over in these instances when he has us enthralled in his storytelling. Also, he leans very heavily into his Asian & Middle East roots in many of his songs and has mastered how to make his voice almost sound like musical instruments of their own. He is making the guttural sound in his throat by rapid control of his vocal cords. Spectacular, huh?!? 🤯👏👏👏 11:59 bingo!!! The baby is their son and the only one who lived of all the main characters. Older boy - Dictator, girl - Dimash’s wife, younger boy - Dimash, you girl with the bear - Dimash & his wife’s daughter, baby at the end - their son, who looks like Dimash, with the symbol of his parents- after he has grown up.
There were only three pendants, and they are there to guide you thru the story arch. Everything in the video is in chronological order. Dimash's character married the little girl (from the beach scene) when they grew up. The little girl who was killed was Dimash's daughter and the little boy that was born was to be Dimash's second child. The little boy grew up to lead people on a path to peace (which is why he looks exactly like Dimash). Dimash's wife did not survive childbirth. If you pay close attention to the beach scene when all three kids were laughing and happy, there was a shift in mood with the older boy. He had feelings for the girl but was rejected because she liked the other boy (Dimash as a kid) which is why he separated himself from the other two and was reluctant to take the friendship pendant that was offered to him. I believe it is to imply that jealousy played a part in the path the older boy eventually took (as the dictator in an armed conflict).
In the canyon we see not the son of the hero Dimash, but the reborn soul of this hero, which will be born again and again, including in the body of his son. All travelers of this canyon are souls who have chosen the path to Light and Good. Dying, Dimash’s hero accepted the primacy of human life, repented of taking lives himself, and only after that his soul was able to join the procession in the canyon. It is important to understand that Dimash’s hero is not reborn into the Messiah or another leader, because throughout the entire clip Dimash says: do not trust ANY leaders, you cannot know their true intentions, you cannot recognize the Pied Piper by hearing his pipe. Choosing the direction towards the Light is all that is needed. We see how travelers begin to overtake the follower who has joined them again. He does not lead them, he is simply the last one at this moment in time. But this is not for long, and they all go in the same direction - towards the Light, towards the Good. We are the next ones who must replenish this flow of souls.
@@michaelbradley7529 I don't know what drama we're talking about. I'm describing the plot of this video, and it's full of drama, if that's what you meant. And I don't understand why I can't feel the need to make some clarifications if they relate to the topic you raised. You found it necessary to make your comment, and I have no question why you needed it.
@@ju1ietta Thanks! - THIS was the comment I was looking for - perfectly said - ignore the animosity because you summed it up PERFECTLY for me. ('melodrama'? @michealbradley7529 - I took the same from this story - I agreed with MOST of what you said (including the jealousy / rejection manifesting itself as bitterness and warmongering, murder, etc), but not all - you really shouldn't be antagonistic / combative simply because @ju1ietta said (and beautifully, I might add) what a lot of us were thinking the visuals depicted - I happen to believe this was Dimash's meaning too... ...That his newly-passed on soul / consciousness is now walking the path towards the light / possible rebirth...
Ты обязательно должен послушать концертную запись жтой песни,есть на Ютуб фанатская запись.👍👍Совершенно другое впечатление,еще более мощное,как Димаш выкладывается на концерте,это потрясающе!!!👍👍👏👏🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️🕊️🌍🌿🇧🇾🇧🇾☮️
Como ya han explicado, el DIMASH que lleva el símbolo al final es su hijo. La esperanza de un mundo mejor, las religiones unidas por un solo camino, el camino de la luz. Por favor reacciona a The story Of one sky en vivo, en el concierto de Almaty. Es sencillamente magistral. Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱❤️🇰🇿
Cedric Gegel made two videos about this, and he analysed the symbolism pretty well. On the website Dimash News the filmmaker also explains some of it. And a lot of it is each person's interpretation. But nothing is random. Even if you simply Google the sign lying on the ground. "Brandenburg". You can write an essay on only the symbol that looks like a 4. It is part of an instrument used by seafarers that uses the sun to tell time and direction. The one given to the boy who was rejected by the girl (Piper) was spinning when he handed it over, alluding to him not knowing where his life is heading. And he bends it. The girl's on is steady - she knows her purpose and direction. And so one could go on about only the symbol in the first 2 minutes.
Yes, this is a master piece. We are fortunate to have coincide with a huge artist like Dimash. I don't know how many times I've watched this MV so far and also his live performance at concert. I'll never get tired of listening to him. Dimash changed my life, musically speaking. Each new song or performance is really different, any word is too small to define his work. Thanks, take care 👋
Hello friend! Thank you for your sincere reaction! Yes, you are pretty on point with the plot, and yes it was Dimash who made all those sounds with his voice naturally! When I first watched this MV, it broke me, I became very emotional, it was heart wrenching, to say the least! Have you noticed that Dimash is the main solder right from the very beginning of the war scene, when he was walking under the overpass, also when he was shot in the arm, many people miss that? Dimash has worked very hard for 3 years composing the music for this song, and around 20 days to make this MV. It turned out to be his most valuable MV, in the ideological sense, ever made, a real Masterpiece! I believe that Dimash deserves THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE for his selfless hard work and tireless efforts, not only for this MV, but for trying to bring the world together in love, peace, and harmony and through his many charities. He is a Legend in the making and will go down in History. This is my breakdown of the story, as I see it: This mini movie is full of symbolisms, it's the story of 3 youths, and the necklace which was created by the young Dimash and shared with his friends symbolizing lifelong friendship and unity. The boys both loved the same girl, but she loved Dimash, so the other boy grew resentful over time, started a war, using the symbol of the necklace given to him by his friend Dimash, as the crest on his army uniform. 1) Dimash, was the boy drowning at the beginning and at the end. 2) The Piper, is the one who saved Dimash, became the leader, and was killed by Dimash at the end. 3) The young girl, who died in childbirth, became Dimash’s future wife, had two children together; a daughter who was killed by the Piper's army; and the birth of a son who inherited the necklace from his mother…, they were all affected by the war. “People are the caravan…. Life is the way”: Dimash spoke these words in Kazakh, when he found his daughter dead. For the symbolic aspects, Dimash is showing the different cultures and religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hindi, etc.), through throat singing, which is called the REQUIEM (mass for the souls of the dead), from different religions. The Pilgrim or (Shepard or a Wise Man) at the end of the video was Dimash’s baby boy, born in his image and grows up to guide the Representatives of different religions and race from different Nations to the light, for a new beginning living together in peace, tolerance, love, and harmony. I’M CHOSING LIFE!! 🙏🙏 See you in your next reaction. Diane with love from Canada 🥰
Thanks for all of that ❤. I think the Kazakh lament is beautiful. I’ve written it down. But do you think Dimash wrote it? Because I want to attribute it. Would be lovely if you know 🙏🏼
@@YasToob You're welcome!! 🥰 I know that Dimash spoke those words in Kazakh when he found his daughter dead, I confirmed the translation. However, I am not sure if he wrote those words or if he was quoting them. If you happen to find out, could you please let me know? I would very much appreciate it. 💖🙏
@@DL2010000 Thank you for the response. Since he actually said those words, for the time being I’ll attribute them to him until I find out otherwise. I’m not sure we can know for sure, unless someone asks him.
You must see the live performance from the Almaty concert. (Don't do the cam version) You'll be blown away. Dimash is the best vocalist & performer on the planet!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction! You were almost correct in your assessment of the storyline. As others have stated, we see the three children later in life, Dimash’s daughter was killed, his wife died giving birth to his son, and the one with the staff and necklace is Dimash’s son, grown up. This MV (mini-movie) helped Dimash get his masters degree. More importantly, it allowed him to express how strongly he feels about the need for peace in this world. Most will say that’s never going to happen, but I feel at least Dimash is trying to get people together through music. That’s better than not trying at all. Thanks again for viewing this masterpiece! Please also watch his live performance of this song (I believe the Almaty concert had a great version). His vocal talent is off the charts!!! ❤️
You should react to the live performance of this song. It’s in Part 3 of his Almaty concert. It’s absolutely incredible and you will see he sings every note you heard in the video! This performance was the night before the music video was released. This movie cost 7 million USD for Dimash to make (he used his own money). It apparently is the most expensive music video ever made.
The Almaty performance was not live: what we heard was identical to the track of this video. So there is no point watching the Almaty performance. I keep wondering why people expect Dimash to sing an arduous monster song like this live at the end of a 4h concert. He would kill his voice! However, in some concerts he sings the first half live, while the second part is playback.
@mmsminimalmusic3110 He sings the full song live in many of his concerts with tens of thousands people watching him closely in person. Given that he spent 3 years fine tuning this song and spending countless hours getting it exactly the way he wanted, it shouldn't surprise anyone when his live performance sounds similar.
Gracias por reaccionar a ésta obra maestra de nuestro querido Dimash!!!Un video con muchos simbolismos y un gran mensaje,él hizo la música,el guión y la producción.Te recomiendo que veas la versión en vivo de su concierto en Almaty ésta en la 3 parte,es impresionante.Saludos desde Argentina!!!🤗🇦🇷Paz 🙏🙌
Bravo!!! Your interpretation is perfect!!! The last Dimash is the grown child who is born while the first Dimash (who had “married” the third child) dies avenging the killing of his daughter. I believe that the arduous journey that the Sages of all religions make represents “The story of one Sky” : We are all born under the same sky and we are all children of Mother Earth. Congratulations on the reaction! Love Teresa from Genoa-ITALY
Heres my take. When they are all on the beach by the boat the tall (bad) guy and the girl seem to interact in a way where she shuns him. He turns away and throws up his arms while she runs back to the boat to little Dimash. Bummed out by rejection becomes the moment where the tall guy decides to take over the planet. There are two other hidden items. One is the burning sign near the building where he is standing and looking up. Google it. The second is the part where he refers to “Imagine.” I believe it is a reference to John Lennon and the meaning of his song by the same title. Theres more.
Great reaction ❤ I think cinematically you will also love his recent MV: When I’ve Got You. Naturally, it’s on his channel. Looking forward to it and you 😊
Exactly right, their son was born right when Dimash dies. The mother (the little girl at the beginning of the video) died giving birth to Dimash’s son, who is the one that appears at the end of the video. You got the rest correct, including the message of the stupidity of war
You were right. The woman was the little girl in the beach. She married Dimash and had a daughter who was killed. The wife went into labor and had the little baby, but she didn’t survive and that’s why he had the necklace. He represent the future generations . The Story of One Sky, means exactly what you said and Dimash mentions many times in his concerts that we all live under the same sky regardless of race and religion. You can see the live version in Part 3 of his Almaty Concert. Every voice you hear singing in this video is his voice. Another excellent MV is OKEY, it was directed by the same person as The Story of One Sky. Thank you for your reaction. ❤️☮️
Yes, the choice of English words used here are not the kind of stuff that the modern world use. Dimash is a lover of literature since he was a kid until now. He also love reading the works of great poets. In an interview that he gave when he was around ten years old, he mentioned the names of poets and writers whose works he admire. Taking into consideration the kind of books he read while growing up, I can say that the wordings of the song was greatly influenced by literature, etc. A glaring example of which is the sentence "share the love, not shares."
Wow! Vídeo espetacular, Intenso e profundo! Uma obra prima completa! Música simplesmente extraordinária do nosso Príncipe Dimash! Letra emocionante e incrível com uma grande mensagem para humanidade! Orquestra e instrumentos tradicionais incríveis! Dimash simplesmente extraordinário e repleto de emoção! Transcendental! Incrível! Dimash é um cantor magnífico, um roterista espetacular e um ator fantástico! We choose Live! PEACE! 🕊🕊 👏👏🏿👏🏿👏🏼👏🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏻🎶🎶♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷
Hi from Mexico 🇲🇽 Yes, you get the story at the end. The three kids were them after. Dimash is the one who almost drowned. The girl rejects the friend who saves him because she likes Dimash. Dimash and the girl are a couple and the little girl is their daughter, their other child is about to be born. She dies in childbirth, as does Dimash and his former friend the dictator. We assume that the one at the end is the grown-up baby.
El símbolo sólo te dice que estos personajes adultos son los mismos niños con que comenzó la historia, ahora enfrentados por la vida. El niño que se estaba ahogando es Dimash y su esposa la niña, con quién tiene una hija y está embarazada de nuevo. El amigo que lo salvó ahora es el militar bajo cuya dirección es asesinada. En el final, luego de la muerte de ambos, es el hijo de Dimash quien guía está vez a los hombres y mujeres de todas razas y religiones, hacia un futuro mejor
It is important to understand that Dimash’s hero is not reborn into the Messiah or another leader, because throughout the entire clip Dimash says: do not trust ANY leaders, you cannot know their true intentions, you cannot recognize the Pied Piper by hearing his pipe. Choosing the direction towards the Light is all that is needed. We see how travelers begin to overtake the follower who has joined them again. He does not lead them, he is simply the last one at this moment in time. But this is not for long, and they all go in the same direction - towards the Light, towards the Good. We are the next ones who must replenish this flow of souls.
Спасибо за реакцию,это произведение уникально,здесь Димаш превзошел сам себя,даже если бы не было видеоряда исполнение Димаша передало все эмоции...я плакала слушая Димаша, кроме огромного таланта,а я считаю его лучшим голосом планеты, он замечательный, очаровательный человек,с добрым сердцем и щедрой душой
In the beginning you saw Dimash (the soldier) and the girl (the mother or the little girl, later giving birth to the boy). The bad leader is the boy who saved Dimash. In the war, Dimash who married the girl has a daughter and the mother is expecting birth. The daughter is killed by the Dictator 's soldiers. Dimash discovers this shoots him and in return is killed by the soldiers. In the meantime the his wife is viving birth to son. The mother passes the friendship necklace with the symbol to her son. In parallel, you see see the people of the religions.of the world marching away from war. First the Muslims, then the Buddhists, th3n the Christians and Jews. The is reflected in the holy books and the notea that Dimash is singing. The blowing of the horns are the Jewish symbols. At the end, the son, looking like Dimash leads the people away from war
Dimash is excellent I have watched this video a thousand times and still have a lump in my throat especially with everything that's going on in the world ❤🏴
He composed this music could be a translation issue I have no problem with it. Usually people that can only speak one language seem to have issues lol All voice sounds are his he does it live in his cocert
Los símbolos se los dió el amigo q salvaron de ahogarse en el mar, cuando crecen uno es el militar, otro es el soldado q se casa con la amiga de la infancia, la niña q matan es hija de ellos y el bebé q nació también, al cual le ponen el símbolo de uno de los padres, supongo q el del padre q muere porque mató al militar q era su amigo de infancia, y el muchacho q sale al final dirigiendo a todos, es el bebé, por eso trae el símbolo también, heredado de uno de sus padres. Dimash es genial para todo lo q hace, simplemente Dios lo dotó generosamente de talentos que él ha sabido aprovechar muy bien, ha multiplicado con creces sus talentos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Dimash
Your interpretation was pretty spot on. And yes, the man in the last shots was Dimash character's son, born during the war, who grew up to be like him. Thank you for this reaction and have a great day ❤
See the live of this song on the Almaty 2023 concert - it is very powerful. This man is really blessed with the ability to interpret what is in his heart. Ats all him - composition, concept, singing, acting.
Dimash put his heart and soul into this video, composing the music and writing the screenplay for it. He’s interested in film directing and was awarded a grant to study in LA at the New York Film School, but eventually decided to let someone else benefit from the grant, as he was so busy with music, he couldn’t devote the time needed to study …
Thank you for your attentive reaction & analysis. There's an additional info in the description of the song. It seems you got the message right if not all the details (and that's what matters). This is absolutely a masterpiece. Dimash indeed isn't just a singer! He is a true artist and involved in every step of his work. Dimash sings anything in any style but plays instruments also if needed. He produces and arranges all the songs he sings. He already arranged everything in his teens and composed some songs, too. Lately Dimash has started to compose most of his music himself. He also co-scripts and directs his music videos now. They are more like mini-movies and of course, he plays the main roles in them - and does it well. So many talents... But above all, Dimash is a good humane person - kind, generous, intelligent, a profound thinker, spiritual, wiser than his years - and this shows in his works. I love his art and his personality. He is such an inspiration!
The lyrics for this song were written by Russian poetess Liliya Vinogradova. Yes, she is not a native English speaker, although she writes poetry in several languages. Therefore, I believe there may be errors or inaccuracies in this text.
Dimash composed the music and wrote the screenplay. Dimash has a strong philosophical foundation. The symbolism in every action and word is intentional. Every part of his music is him. To see him live in the Almaty concert shows that he is for real - every note and every emotion. Worth watching to fully understand what is in Dimash's heart and soul.
A Dimash Masterpiece with a message to us all - We need Peace. Choose Life !!! Now you need to react to the "live" version of The Story of One Sky. In this you see Dimash and watch the emotion he puts into this performance - mesmerising !! Thank you for your reaction.
It is just those 3 guys (friends) having the special pendant. At the end it passes from Dimash to his son. The woman giving birth is Dimash's wife in the clip (the little girl in the beginning). The little girl killed is Dimash's daughter.
The Almaty performance was not live: what we heard was identical to the track of this video. So there is no point watching the Almaty performance. I keep wondering why people expect Dimash to sing an arduous monster song like this live at the end of a 4h concert. He would kill his voice! However, in some concerts he sings the first half live, while the second part is playback.
@mmsminimalmusic3110 you seem to be his sound engineer. Yes, he doesn't sing every song live. No, not even his teacher can always tell for certain which is which. And I say that because he's my friend. Ruin his voice? Unless you're Dimash, Marat Aitimov, or someone of similar calibre, I think it's best not to have such a definitive opinion on that.
So if you're going to watch the live version which is phenomenal, go to Dimash's Channel and there are 3 parts to the Stranger Almaty concert it's in the 3rd part halfway in. You will be floored from his live performance. It makes me cry every single time.
This is all Dimash's work. He came up with the idea and wrote the storyboard and script. He composed the music, had his words put into English lyrics, and sang it every sound you hear. Ge worked really closely with the director on every aspect of this amazing short film of his to make sure his visionwasdeliveredperfectly. His acting, from his first scene under the boardwalk, is also excellent. Dimash is very anti-war, and this was his way of showing the reality of it. His videos are always amazing, especially the ones he comes up with for his own compositions. The baby is Dimashs characters son. He grows up to lead the pilgrims lost in the desert, to the light. His sister died in the war, the mother raised her son to follow in his father's footsteps. She didn't die in childbirth despite what some think. The Director in the news conference made no mention of her death. Dimash spreads tolerance, love and peace constantly and he lives his life as an example to us all. He has amazing morals and is full of love. Yes he means we all live under the same sky, we are all the same, want the same thing to live in peace.
Only those 3 - the three kids - have the symbol. The boy, who was drowning at the beginning, grew up to fight against the tyrant, and this fighter is Dimash. The tyrant was the boy who rescued his friend at the beginning. The girl at the beginning became the wife of Dimash, and they had the little girl who was killed by the tyrant's soldiers. That prompted Dimash to shoot his once friend, the tyrant. At the time of the fighting, the wife was delivering their second child, a boy. The wife died during the delivery, and the baby - the son of Dimash and the girl - inherited the symbol necklace. In the end, all three of the kids from the beginning were dead, but the son of Dimash and the girl (the newborn baby, shown as an adult at the end of the video) carried on the message - he was leading all the representatives of all different religions towards the Light. I hope this clears up the confusion.
that's exactly right, very well succinctly explained. while most people don't like the "confusion" the first-time viewing can cause, for everyone, i think it's actually totally intentional, requiring multiple viewings, causing the viewer to notice all the other subtle messaging going on, it is dense. absolutely no different than the process of interpreting a poem: it is multi-layered on purpose, requires multiple passes to identify all the subtext, to appreciate the art for What it is meant to be: beautiful, deep, meaningful and important not to mention: people appreciate figuring things out for themselves as opposed to having it all spelled out, removing any mystery and reflection, which is, frankly, boring suffice it to say, dimash is on a higher level than all of us, We are beyond lucky he has the means and ability to transmit his message to the world now if we could get just one person at the UN to watch it and appreciate the message he is putting forth here, alas...
The woman died giving birth to their son. Son grew up to become a spiritual leader. Lyrics were written for Dimash in English. Of course artistic liberties were taken in the lyrics. His English is still improving. You should watch his live version of this. His energy in it is phenomenal.
Scott , you are one of few reactors who got the story line pretty darn straight on the very first viewing! Good job! 👍👍 It will take a couple more viewings before you get all the details. Like in the view you stopped on of the crouching soldier walking to the left, that was Dimash. Check out his profile, unmistakably Dimash. Such amazing vocals!!! Thanks for an excellent review! 🤗
I don’t know if it’s only me, but I got the story at the very beginning, this is so beautiful ❤❤❤ the three adult were the kids in the beginning. You need to watch it again so you can understand it. 👍🏼
Any good work always allows the viewer to become a co-author, allows us to create interpretations ourselves, but within the limits of the main author's message. A complex work often requires repeated careful viewing. This film is full of symbolism. From the very first seconds, we are shown frames of the cyclical nature of the story, but we will be able to understand this only after a second viewing. An obscure figure, a drowning man... Is this a young man dying on the threshold of his big life, or is this a warrior who completed his life path both for himself and for many other people? We are at the beginning of the life cycle, and the lace in the foreground unequivocally reminds us of the umbilical cord. A boy who has just drowned is ready for his second birth... Dimash's first message: we are born equal, pure, potentially good people. Children are an unwritten book in which life can fit any plot. We see three friends who, as children, are full of nobility and courage (an older boy selflessly saves his friend), a thirst for knowledge of the world and a thirst to share these discoveries. However, already at these stages, the first signs of disagreement appear: a brave boy, pumping out a friend, looks for approval from a girl with his eyes. He wants to look like a hero in her eyes. But the girl does not notice this, her heart has already been given to another, and only his fate cares about her. That's the first disappointment of life - a feat will not make you a hero. You can't expect a fair reward from people. A friend may not meet your expectations. What other disappointments will this boy know, who eventually transforms from a selfless young man into a ruthless and cynical dictator? The amulet (the arrow of the solar clock showing both time and direction) has become a symbol of different ideas in the hands of our heroes. For a couple in love, it is a symbol of unity, indicating their common path (they have become a married couple, they have a daughter and a son will be born in the final). Another boy never accepted this amulet as a symbol of friendship (he does not wear it on his chest near his heart), he bent it in a fit of rage (thus the arrow stopped pointing the right way) and used this amulet upside down as a symbol of his false inverted ideals. He became a dictator (in the lyrics of the song - a Pied Piper, who draws children to destruction with the sounds of his lying flute). Many years later we see that the Dictator unleashed a bloodbath in the name of his false ideals. Many believe that Dimash portrays the opposing side of Good to Evil. I see something else. A patch on the sleeve of Dimash's character is poked into our eyes several times: a complex interweaving of sharp corners and circles. Dimash's character is not a leader, he is an ordinary soldier who has also taken some ideological side. What do these circles and angles represent? Who stands behind Dimash's character and pushes him into battle? Maybe he's protecting his city from invasion? Apparently not! Everything points to the fact that this is a civil war, because the action takes place in their hometown. All three of them lived in this city, and now they are feuding and destroying their home. Waldenberg in this clip is the personification of the whole planet. We all live under the same sky. And in this sense, ANY WAR is a civil war, fueled by various but ALWAYS false ideas, including territorial claims. I think this is the second message of Dimash, directly following from the title of the clip. Therefore, behind the back of Dimash's character is another exactly the same Pied Piper, with complex, confusing and false ideas pushing his followers into this meat grinder. The plaque with the name of the city in Gothic script Waldenberg is a direct reference to the real German city of Waldenburg, completely destroyed by Allied troops during World War II, when there was no need at all, because by the end of the war there were mostly only women and children in this city. The one who was supposed to bring good brought evil. Dimash's third message is that war has no good sides. All participants in wars are somehow agents of evil. Is it an accident that Waldenburg translates as "The City of Waldemar"? Well, or Vladimir in the Slavic version. Both leaders of the modern confrontation are called Vladimir ... Dimash certainly sympathizes with his character, he understands what exactly drives his hero, but does not justify his actions. When his character, driven by anger, despair and revenge, comes to the Dictator for retribution, then a storm begins in a world where souls of different faiths, cultures, ethnicities, epochs who have chosen the road to light (good) have been walking along a thorny road for thousands of years of human history! Dimash's character, having killed his savior, thanks to whom he lived all these years, immediately receives karma in return and returns to the waters of nothingness, where he should have stayed many years ago. At the moment of death, the thirst for life gives him the last most powerful life lesson: acceptance of the idea of the primordial value of human life. FOR EVERYONE WITHOUT EXCEPTION! Even for a Dictator! Even for his daughter's murderers! This is the fourth very important message of Dimash. In a near-death epiphany, his hero sees in flashbacks the moments of his life, both bright (shots from his childhood) and unrighteous (shots of how he takes the lives of his opponents). Dimash's fifth message is to rethink your values, it's never too late to repent. It is this repentance that allows the soul of Dimash's character to transform and be reborn in the best version of himself. The waters into which our hero fell are also an allegory for amniotic fluid, an allegory of reincarnation in the body of his newborn son, who, having received such a powerful life attitude from his father, will never take up arms again and will not join any side of the conflict. The soul of a warrior sinks to the bottom of Nothingness completely. All three characters die in this story at the same time, allowing a new soul to be born, giving hope for a better future for Humanity. Dimash is a Muslim, and he does not preach the idea of reincarnation. Reincarnation here is just a metaphor necessary to convey his messages. The souls of the righteous, who once accepted the simple truth about the primary value of human life, raising their hands to the dazzling Light that flooded the horizon, meet their new follower, who joined their march towards Light and Goodness. He is an equal among them, who has accepted his mission as a shepherd, among others, each of whom carries his mission on this path: someone blows a horn, calling for unification, someone brings enlightenment to the masses (a book is a symbol of knowledge), someone carries his cross, and someone leaves the race unable to withstand the hardships of the way. The fifth message of Dimash - the simple acceptance of the idea of renouncing weapons and violence will allow each of us to join this stream of righteous souls. Only when WE ALL join this stream, only then will the wars stop. Dimash wrote the music and script for this video based on his own long-standing story. Everything we see and hear is the flesh of the flesh of feelings, thoughts, ideas of Dimash. Dimash is an ancient soul.
