Before I let others comments into my brain, I wanted to add my flailing about the video! I have been watching it all morning and I LOVE IT. Here are my thoughts. Sorry if a lot of it has already been said!
- We start out with Dark Adam. I confess I had a few moments of doubt as Dark Adam fusses with his hair and throws himself down on the couch. He didn't seem all that menacing. I was a tiny bit worried about whether it was all going to come off.
- Then I began to see how truly tortured Dark Adam was. We see the Dark Adam guzzling alcohol. The light Adam appears. "You thought I was so soft and sweet." He putters around his area drinking tea. Only the need to be on life-giving oxygen gives away that all is not right in the world of Light Adam.
- They are both aware of the existence of the other. Light Adam sees Dark Adam in the mirror, and they can see what the other is doing.
- About 1:27 is when the video sent my heart starting to pound and it hasn't stopped since. This is the chilling scene where Dark Adam pours out the liquor and mocks Light Adam viciously. Light Adam just shakes his head as if to say "What are you doing? That isn't me." Then as Light Adam seeks knowledge in books, Dark Adam destroys them as if to say, "What you are seeking isn't there! It's here!"
- Dark Adam becomes ever more desperate to be acknowledged. When Light Adam is trying to clean up, Dark Adam waves his liquor bottle and pretends to masterbate! Light Adam looks disgusted. He seems to decide to try to reach out, but also seems to think he can keep Dark Adam on a leash, like a dog. It's his turn to mock.
- THEN OMG THE HEART SCENE. I really didn't expect this? It gives a whole new meaning to "try and see my heart." Whose heart is it (both of theirs)? Dark Adam is screaming, he will destroy them both. Truly "I can go too far" is the message here.
Remember when Adam said this video was the twin to Whataya? I also saw a message to the fans here ... maybe this is just me. But I saw "I HAVE GIVEN YOU MY HEART NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?"
- Light Adam steps up his efforts to reach out with the chess board. But this is no game between them. Dark Adam exults over the flame of destruction he begins. He's going to kill them both if Light Adam does not try to understand him. Then he smears away his makeup. Again a dual message in the video story and to the public:
CAN YOU SEE ME NOW?
Interestingly it is Dark Adam who makes the final recognition. He is the one who saves Light Adam from the destruction he has wrought on both of their lives. He seems to realize that Light Adam is too weak to live without him. They merge and together they walk into the real world to begin their new life without the trappings that kept them apart.
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT I LOVE IT SFM OFF TO READ WHAT EVERYONE ELSE THOUGHT
Beautiful !
