Dimash The Story of One Sky First time reaction

Sorry for the odd camera angle but I'm using new soft ware, and didn't want to re-record and ruin a true first time reaction. Also for the mistake in the title sequence. This is how the clip was introduced to me.
Loved this! Blown away by Dimash's scope as not just singer, but actor and director. Is there anything he can't do?

Original video: • Dimash - The Story of...

[@blueorchidfeather]

It took him 3 yrs to complete. He Wrote the Story, the screenplay, composed the music, sang and acted in the video, and partly produced it. He did not Direct this! Dimash will have a one-year internship at the leading university of the USA - New York Film Academy, specializing in “Directing” at the Los Angeles campus... This is his call for Peace ! Thanks for your reaction to this masterpiece I’m enclosing a deep and knowledgeable analysis by Heiderose Kober that you might enjoy: « This is subtitled "Requiem” but it is also a vision and a call to action. Dimash is steeped in sacred music and has a deep understanding of the mystic teachings and symbolism of the major world religions as well as Kazakh shamanism. It is not by coincidence that the first performance of this work took place on September 14, 2022, at the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions in Kazakhstan. The written statement at the end of the video is directly from the “Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together” signed jointly on February 4, 2019, by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmad el-Tayeb. Dimash met and spoke with both men at the September meeting. Everything Dimash does is intentional, and this piece has layers that would take a dissertation to unravel. I only touch on some of what struck me in the symbolism. The music is a dissertation all by itself. The pendant is an interesting element. It is a gnomon from a maritime compass sundial. This triangular blade is attached to the sundial, casting a shadow on the sundial while the perforated pinhole projects the image of the sun onto the dial. It was used for both timekeeping and navigation, with the gnomon oriented to True North. (Thank you, Snarky Tart for that information). In the MV, the child who later becomes the military commander never puts on the necklace. After Dimash, the boy, gives his friend the pendant, the camera focuses on his hand and shows that his friend has bent the gnomon in anger over being rejected by the girl. Thus bent, it can never be oriented to True North, and he has lost his moral compass. Later, we see a version of the gnomon as the military insignia on the uniforms of the commander and his soldiers, but distorted and without the hole that allows light to shine through rendering it useless as a compass. When we lose the original intent of a symbol by twisting it into something it is not or by just paying lip service, it no longer has any spiritual meaning. At best it becomes a useless prop, at worst it is used to mislead and manipulate people. Contemporary music is also present: With the phrase "We have passed the moment of Imagine," Dimash reminds us that we are past the sentiments evoked by the song "Imagine" by John Lennon. It is time to stop dreaming about a world of peace and harmony. If we choose life, if we wish for peace, if we want a world without war for our children and grandchildren, we must act and take up the long hard path up the mountain towards the light. It is the only way. The storyline is a very human one: we start as innocents until our hearts are broken, we fail, or our dreams are not realized. If in our pain and disappointment, we turn to anger and blame instead of acceptance, power instead of love, greed and envy instead of generosity, hatred instead of forgiveness, and revenge instead of justice, we sow the seeds for conflicts that can turn into war. The Piper's call is seductive as it promises redress for our grievances, control over our circumstances, and power over those who thwarted us, and this appeals to our wounded ego. However, let's remember that the Piper is a symbolic figure of Death from the Middle Ages, often used as a metaphor for trusting and following charismatic but dangerous and malevolent leaders to certain death. Even if we resist, as the adult Dimash character does, we often employ the same methods and weaponry as the Piper, and thus those who fight back betray peace as well because peace cannot be won through violence. That is the dilemma of those of us who did not start the war, who do not support the war, but are forced to respond in order to defend ourselves and those we love. How can we rid the world of evil without becoming what we fight against? The burning sign "Waldenberg" is a reference to the end of WWII when the US Army destroyed the last of the resistance by the German Wehrmacht close to the end of the war in April 1945 in the part of Germany where I grew up. I have seen the aftermath of war as I was born a few years later when much of Germany was still in rubble. Waldenburg is only 28 miles from my hometown and was completely destroyed as you can see from the picture. Many of the dead in those bombed-out buildings were women and children. The good guys defeated evil but at what price? War is not the answer. We must find better ways to keep evil in check. iowaculture.gov/history/education/educator-resources/primary-source-sets/world-war-ii/american-troops-move-through The last movement is powerful: The cries over the loss of a beloved child and the cries of giving birth to new life are presented as a call-and-response grounded by a powerful Om chant that creates a sacred space, reminding us that death and birth are both sacraments and are interwoven in the tapestry of life. Dimash's vocalization and the pilgrims representing world religions and religious leaders, past and present, walking together shift the narrative toward the final conflict and finally redemption. When Dimash’s character decides to avenge the murder of his daughter, his state of consciousness is reflected in the darkening sky with lightning bolts of anger accompanying the storm of his emotions that buffets the pilgrims and hinder progress. The fog of war obscures the light. When he is killed after exacting retribution, he is dropped back into the "sacred womb" of Earth, the ocean of love and mercy, and is cleansed of the old hatreds and grievances that only bring more death and suffering. He breaks the wheel of endless war and suffering by choosing life. Dimash's scream of “we’re choosing life” is that of giving birth: the old earthly consciousness of an eye for an eye has to die to make way for a new spiritual consciousness that embraces all life. Soul is breaking free to return to its natural state of love and purity as exemplified by the images of the children and the newborn baby. The blowing of the shofar signals God's mercy for humankind when it turns from wrong to right: in the Zohar, the book of Jewish mysticism, it says: “When human beings repent of their sins, they blow the shofar on earth. Its sound ascends On High and awakens the heavenly shofar, and so mercy is aroused and judgment is removed.” Reborn as a leader for peace and love, Dimash's character in the form of his son becomes a spiritual guide for all of mankind on our shared journey up the mountain towards the light of God, however we may interpret or name the divine. We are all on the same path, even if our personal narratives, cultural heritage, race, and spiritual orientations are very different from one another. By focusing on our common destination rather than on our differences, we can walk together in peace and love and mutual respect. Carl Jung wrote: “Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” This is what Dimash has done with this work; he has made the darkness conscious. We can only raise our individual and collective consciousness by bringing to light what needs to be healed in our lives and our world, and then we need to work together to restore wholeness to what is broken and bring about peace and unity, one step at a time. We don’t have to wait. We can start right now. As the hymn tells us: "Let there peace in the world, and let it begin with me." Baraka Bashad. »

Muchas, muchas gracias por tu explicación. Estoy muy de acuerdo contigo. Parece un vídeo largo, pero en realidad debió ser un tormento para Dimash condensar todo lo que quiere compartir en tan poco tiempo.

Dimash does want peace on earth, so he has songs such as this. But I don't think he(small h) would want a one world government.

[@davidricks7128]

These are my views on this amazing masterpiece Story of One Sky - I have watched this many times and still find things out that i never thought of amazing video and i have said it before if anyone could bring peace i strongly believe Dimash could make it possible. This needs to be shared worldwide to show people there is another way. War is never the answer because the only ones to suffer are the innocent. Rewatched the song of Dimash today one line stood out to me One of the most profound lines in The Story of One Sky is the line "Learn to share the love, Not shares" Not shares meaning stop making money out of war rich people have many shares in companies that profit from weapon manufacturing making them richer while the innocent suffer sadly this is why war exists. MONEY, GREED and POWER. The boy who was drowning was (Dimash's character as a child) made the necklaces that were given to the girl who grew up to be (Dimash's pregnant wife) and the boy who saved him who (grew up to be the military leader), possibly out of jealousy. The military leader waged his war The part in the video with the little girl and the people in the hallway were Dimash's family who had been wiped out the little girl whose body he picked up was his daughter, the baby that was born was his son who grew up to be Dimash grown up at the end!!! The Dimash at the end can also be seen as Dimash in the afterlife leading others to the light in peace. The This video needs to be shown worldwide. Something else i noticed is in his dying breath he sang (We're Choosing Life) as he finally passed away now that is powerful

Продолжайте и дальше наблюдать и делать реакции на этого невероятно- талантливого артиста и Человека , посмотрите не менее эмоциональное выступление Димаша вживую на концерте в Алматы с этой композицией, там в финале Он также умирает и разрывает себя на части , что у всех сердце заболело из-за Него - это было на разрыв аорты и на пределе сил человеческих !

Glad to see you back. I hope you and yours are doing well. It has been way too long; I always enjoy and appreciate you genuine reactions and value you insightful analyses and comments. FYI, the song is called "The Story of One Sky." Dimash wrote the music and directed the video, someone else wrote the lyrics of the song. Listening to him performaning this live is absolutely stunning and an emotional rollercoaster. Here is the link to one fan cam recording. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5vPmXulnMqlapo Btw, you can avoid the commercial interruption by installing an ad blocker for free. When Dimash premiered this song at his concert, he gave a speech prior to singing the song. I think that speech is important and gives context to the song and story: "Many thanks, dear friends; before I perform the next song, let me say a few words. Thank you very much. We, the people sitting in this stadium, each of us is different, not totally alike one another, but we are all God's children, each of us with different talents. And, as I mentioned just now, right now is a bad time. In fact, I am not satisfied with the present situation. I have not seen how such situations evolved in the past, therefore I don't know what will happen next. But many people are suffering today because of a few individuals, it's really true. We, we the adults, consider ourselves to be "smarter" than the small children and innocents, but while we do our best to teach and educate our children, we forget that we also have some things to learn from those children. They are pure-hearted, kind, friendly, untainted and without egos and their love for people is pure. Young children have such qualities. I started writing this song I'm about to perform, three years ago. Generally speaking, my main purpose in writing this work is to call for peace in the world. It's a small composition that has burst out from deep within my heart. To tell you truth, many thanks to God and with your wishes, I traveled to many parts of the world and met many different people during my tours. One thing I understood is that if you look at ordinary people, there is no such thing as a bad nationality, there is no bad nationality! I don't need to tell you what you already know about the reason for mentioning the topic of nationality here… Let there be peace in the world, Let there be peace. Let there be no war. Let no people, let no nationality, let no country suffer! Because after all, ordinary individuals, ordinary people are not at fault. The truth of the matter is, no ordinary person is guilty of starting a war! That's why the next song I'll be performing in your honor is about our common fate under one sky, it's called "The Story of One Sky.” Hope you like it."

Имидж Димаша нисколько не пострадает от того, что в клипе его герой убивает тирана, солдаты которого убили его ребенка. "Мы выбираем жизнь..." А жизнь своих близких надо защищать. И мир защищать тоже надо. Иначе все слова так и останутся красивыми словами.

[@violetab5514]

Не только его ребенка убил. Убил тысячи, принес горе и слезы. Неостановленое зло умножается. Хорошо, если тиран перед смертью понял что натворил, но ето не отменяет суда.

[@sofiaarzumanova9402]

Он остановил зло, которое уничтожало целый народ или народы. Это не убийство, это самооборона, то есть оборона целого народа от одного кровавого злодея.

[@user-po7ej1ks8r]

Ну в американских фильмах герои, супергерои в схватках могут убить, но чаще ловят и садят в тюрьму, а дальше их судят судьи и тд. У них цель поймать, а не убить. Видать, про это Лукас говорил. Чтоб пересудов не было героев показывают у них типо гуманнными что-ли.

[@user-zy3hj3lu3y]

@@user-po7ej1ks8r Ну, да, в фильмах у них все благородно и без крови. А на деле - вспомните Каддафи, которого убили вроде бы свои же, но подстрекали их, как и вообще всех арабов, американцы. Убивали жестоко, кроваво, без всякого суда. И как этому радовалась безумная старуха Клинтон. Где была их демократия в это время. А ведь Каддафи не был тираном, что бы о нем ни говорили. При нем страна процветала. И он только один из многих примеров реальных дел американцев. А в кино показывать убийство ни-ни, имидж себе испортишь. Лицемеры. И хотя мне нравится этот блогер, я была неприятно удивлена этой заботой об имидже Димаша, сыгравшего в этой сцене. Как глубоко у них укоренилось это фарисейство.

Hi Lukas Hassel. Я наконец-то дождалась вашей реакции на клип Димаша. Вы же специалист... Это не первая режиссёрская работа Димаша. Во время пандемии он снял клип Кайран элим. И вообще он так или иначе осматривает всё, включая концертные номера, постановки.... Димаш сам себе режиссер! Известно и объявлено, что он получил грант на стажировку в Лос- анджелес для учёбы на 1 год именно на режиссёрской отделении. Спасибо вам за анализ клипа. Он как всегда точный, полный, понятный. Димаш работал над этой песней 3 года и вложил в клип 7 миллионов долларов... Это на коммерческая вещь, на мой взгляд. Это месседж, ПОСЛАНИЕ МИРУ, философское рассуждение о судьбах Мира, о пути развития, о человечестве, людях в целом. Мы все едины. Мы дети одного неба. Если лидеры сбились с пути и ведут народы через войны, болезни и голод к пропасти, люди, народы должны объединиться и пойти другим путём!... Мы за Единение в Любви, дружбе, мире. Мы выбираем жизнь!

🎆~••~🎆 Thanks very much for your very thoughtful reaction, Dear! 🕊 Please consider reacting to the LIVE performance of this masterpiece that I've shared in a separate comment that includes the speech he gave to the audience prior to singing it. 👼 You'll be blown away! 😇Happy Healthy New Year🎉 to you and yours, Dear! My response focuses on a heartbroken, frustrated & downright angry young man's urgent 🆘 message, not the phenomenal vocals he ordinarily is lauded for as this is what Dimash has instructed us to do, as well as, to promote it by sharing it far & wide & no one will not be allowed to react and/or share this one! My understanding is that there will be no blocking by him or his team! If you are blocked please let me know. DQ wants it shared and a global dialogue to ensue on how to establish & keep a "World Without War!" There's a lot to unpack & dependent upon a person's frame of reference, their interpretation of the video & DQ's message will undoubtedly be colored by their own preconceptions & life experiences, etc. My interpretation of his message this far is as follows: DQ's phenomenal 9-23-22 Almaty live performance of this composition and this MV are prophetic masterpieces of transcendental pro-planet/antiwar art activism & downright spiritual experiences wherein Dimash issues a sincere, passionate yet, heartbreaking call to action to "learn to love" one another again as we were taught as children & to stop --- all conflicts, all aggression, all wars --- for the real fight before us requires us to unite globally & engage in the fight to save our Mother Earth, "the sacred womb" from which all life sprung! Let us shun our "failing [self-serving Pied] Piper leaders" whose lunacy continues to lead us all to our mutual ruin & destruction by ignoring our species' fate as the "tightening noose" of climate change, hunger, poverty perpetually worsens whilst our "crazy leaders" instead waste precious time, limited resources & countless lives by choosing to "lead us to the slaughter" of these senseless, endless wars! Billions of lives STOLEN Billions of cells UNBORN Billions of souls FALLEN Billions of dreams UNREALIZED The verse that states we must "learn to share again the love, not shares" I believe means we must re-learn how to share our love in real time, person-to-person via one-on-one human connection in meaningful ways thru in-person acts of kindness such as compassionately, caring for the actual basic human needs of others or those that are emotional or physical in nature; all of which builds strong friendships, communities, nations and even friendships between nations unlike the superficial virtual "shares" that may be important only to one person's social media status & very well imaginary. DQ asks us to "learn to live again" as "we have passed the moment of "Imagine" (which is clearly a reference to Lennon's iconic song written of the utopia he dreamed of) & the "world as the feast" I believe means we as a species have caused so much irreparable damage to the planet resulting in droughts & famine that we are long passed former times of plenty & now must work very hard together to overcome our limited, finite resources or "Do we have to starve?" I feel as if DQ is asking us "what's it going to take" for us to "WAKE UP?" Children are (and have long been) dying of famine NOW. Further, DQ proclaims THIS is OUR LAST CHANCE, and that we must immediately act as there's "not a moment to lose" before either the Earth implodes or some crazed "Pied Piper" releases nuclear Armageddon upon the world! #TimesUp #ItsTimeToSaveTheEarth All I can say for certain is DQ's awesome LIVE and MV performances of this incredible composition of his has created the global dialogue seeking to understand it, each other and ourselves and has done more to promote a culture of tolerance he speaks of in his message at the end of the video than any other artistry I've witnessed in my 64 years of walking the planet! 🌏💚 He's successfully started the convo and it is up to us to keep it going by spreading this video & respectfully engaging with any & all so that we might unite in our common desire for peace under our shared one sky, Dears! You must watch this MV with an open mind & heart coming from a mindset of love & solidarity. I don't share the majority's view that Dimash survives nor is that his grownup baby born as he died at the end of the video. The video's progression follows the song's & builds in intensity as the pilgrims of all faiths continue their march upwards on a parallel spiritual plane & climaxes as the pilgrims experience a physical struggle with nature in the form of intense storm similar to the spiritual storm DQ experiences with the murder of his beloved daughter that is more than he can bear & his choice to seek revenge against his former friend who had long ago saved his life but who had chosen a dark & evil path. It is only after he has purged his spirit of the desire for revenge & killed his enemy (who had indeed become the enemy of humanity) & then DQ himself was subsequently killed by enemy soldiers did DQ's character's soul scream out from his watery grave that humanity has only one choice and #WeReChoosingLife !! In death his spirit joins the other spiritual pilgrims in their ascension to the One God we've all worshipped in our own ways through our own religions guided by our own prophets ever since the beginning of Creation. The journey for DQ & his fellow seekers continues on as what appears to be the morning of a hopeful new day is dawning. His infant child remains in the material world left only with his mother's talisman yet grows into a prophet who leads the people to peace, according to the music video's director; a theme that is not in conflict with my understanding of DQ's character's spiritual journey. Listen as Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian voices intertwine into the One Voice that sings our shared Prayer to the One God. DQs virtuosity is spiritual in nature; he touches souls and changes hearts with his divine vocals. We must awaken spiritually. We must raise our collective human consciousness, unite, be as ONE --- live and let live --- & understand our shared fate under our shared sky. "Can we balance on the edge of a fiery grave" with all these competing self-interests & is it even possible to save our future on this planet? To avert our own extinction & achieve that utopian peace we all desperately need to survive as a species so that we might enjoy peaceful, prosperous lifetimes for ourselves & future generations, DQ begs us to #ChooseLife UNITE! Dimash is a empathetic, lyrical genius whose virtuosity serves as a conduit for the pure & wondrous light of Heaven as well as the pain & suffering of our human Hells-on-Earth (many of our own making); he is the most excellent ambassador for a peaceful planet & our survival we could ever envision in his childlike altruistic nature & unconditional love. #WeAreChoosingLife ☸✡☪✝🕉☯☮ #SaveTheEarth 🌏🌍🌎#SaveAllChildren

💥35K people from 68 countries💥came together in love, in solidarity, in peace in an Almaty, KZ stadium on 9-23-22 for the 4 hour concert (now available on DQ's official YT channel in 3 Parts of the televised version originally broadcast on 12-31-22 on KZ TV) given by the young Kazakh musician whose divine voice touches souls & changes hearts. Below please read the brief speech that DQ gave to the audience before singing his newest composition, "The Story of One Sky" which will give you a better understanding of the song and Dimash's intentions. Sending this to you & yours, Dear, with Much Love & In Solidarity while Praying for Peace. "Many thanks dear friends, before I perform the next song, let me say a few words. Thank you very much. We, the people sitting in this stadium, each of us is different, not totally alike one another, but we are all God's children, each of us with different talents. And, as I mentioned just now, right now is a bad time. In fact, I am not satisfied with the present situation. I have not seen how such situations evolved in the past, therefore I don't know what will happen next. But many people are suffering today because of a few individuals, it's really true. We, we the adults, consider ourselves to be "smarter" than the small children and innocents, but while we do our best to teach and educate our children, we forget that we also have some things to learn from those children. They are pure-hearted, kind, friendly, untainted and without egos and their love for people are pure. Young children have such qualities. I started writing this song I'm about to perform, three years ago. Generally speaking, my main purpose in writing this work is to call for peace in the world. It's a small composition that has burst out from deep within my heart. To tell you truth, many thanks to god and with your wishes I traveled to many parts of the world and met many different people during my tours. One thing I understood is that if you look at ordinary people, there is no such thing as a bad nationality, there is no bad nationality! I don't need to tell you what you already know about the reason for mentioning the topic of nationality here... Let there be peace in the world, Let there be peace. Let there be no war. Let no people, let no nationality, let no country suffer! Because after all, ordinary individuals, ordinary people are not at fault. The truth of the matter is, no ordinary person is guilty of starting a war! That's why the next song I'll be performing in your honor is about our common fate under one sky, it's called "The Story of One Sky". Hope you like it." kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3mamZuJrJt2nLc

Мы очень ждали вашу реакцию, Лукас, хотели услышать ваше профессиональное мнение. Спасибо вам за эту великолепную реакцию! Мы были на концерте в Алматы в сентябре. Это было потрясающие, чувствовалось что-то великое и божественное в выступлении Димаша. И возникла в тот момент мысль, если мы вот так предстанем перед Всевышним, что же мы будем отвечать. Это очень хорошо можно было почувствовать именно в тот момент на концерте Димаша. Мы должны стараться сделать этот мир лучше. Это великий посыл людям, переданный посредством искусства. Всем желаю мира и добра! Салем из Казахстана!

The way I found to celebrate the majesty of Dimash's talent was to have written the following about him: If I were to rule the world, I would immediately add, to the universal declaration of human rights, another article (they would become 31) whose wording would next "All human beings have the right, at least once in their lives, to hear Dimash sing". I am a Professor and I believe that I have a special profession that allows me to transform the human heart and consequently the human society. I work with young people and young people need to have good references. I had been looking for someone for a long time, of whom I could speak to the young people I work with, as a good reference. That person should be young, a super talent, a super mega star in the art world and above all, because he is the most important, a good human person. I searched and never found anyone with these characteristics. Until, finally, I found this person and that person is Dimash. I had the opportunity to say this to Dimash, personally, when I was with him in Latvia where I went, coming from Portugal (there are 8000 km round trip), on the 7th of March 2020.

Dimash composed the music, wrote the script, is acting in it, and the sang it from his heart as an advocate for peace. Is not the director. A masterpiece.

[@michelegagne5169]

Dimash is one of this year's 178 recipients of the Bolashak program which provides scholarships and internships to young Kazakhs in order for them to pursue their studies, masters or doctoral degrees in leading universities across the world. From what we know of Dimash, his sense of responsibility and respect for his roots, he isn't going into this just for the heck of it. For sure there will be future cinematography work in Dimash's artistic journey and at only 28 years of age, he's already dared showing the world his values in a most direct, harsh and yet beautiful way. You said it and I completely agree, Dimash is an artist to be reckoned with. As they say in French, "il n'a pas froid aux yeux" and more commonly, "he ain't just a pretty face"!

You must see him sing this live at Almaty. Incredible piece music and his 9 minute performance is just amazing. Dimash is one for the legends himself. No one like him. Its the whole pkg that separates Dimash from mere mortals. Divinely gifted. Really enjoy your reactions. Great comments.

[@FluffysMum]

Waldenberg is a town in Germany, the very last town to be absolutely obliterated with bombing in 1945. That the girl grown up who became Dimash's characters wife giving birth while her husband finds their little girl, the one from earlier, dead. His voice matches his despair and grief. The people were religious pilgrims searching for peace. Remember its not Dimash just a character. The storm matches the rage inside the soldier who has to kill his old friend to stop this slaughter. Then Dimash's characters son leads the pilgrims. Don't worry his vocals were all healthy. Yes every vocalisation was Dimash. Watch his other music videos, his acting is really good 👍

[@hellotomka]

the film is based on a story written by Dimash with his own screenplay. (I worked on this piece for 3 years). Director Alina Veripya spoke about creating the music video for the new song: the clip is divided into several parts. The first is about childhood. The main character, two friends linked by childhood stories and symbols of eternal friendship. One day the friend saves the protagonist when he drowns. However, there is already competition in these children's story, where the boys love one girl and she chooses one. The second goes through a kind of psychological The disintegration and transformation of children's problems into an adult world of totalitarianism and struggle. When he becomes a commander, the opponent carries the idea of saving the war: the young boy who presents the tokens of friendship he made will marry the girl (Dimash). She will give birth. A baby girl (murdered) and a mother waiting for another baby. Friends were scattered, and the third friend became an enemy, friends are enemies, because of the war, It is shocking how the cry of true helplessness of a father embracing his murdered daughter is practically coupled with the cries of a woman in labor who brings a child into the traumatized world of soldier (Dimash). That he was searching for his family and that he had found the dead body of his daughter and I think believing that his pregnant wife had also died, and felt the death of life, he decides, as the only way out in that moment of uncontrollable pain is revenge. He killed the evil embodied in his opponent, and then was killed by soldiers' bullets. ,and when Dimash died, his son was born, and the mother died during childbirth. But the boy is saved by his society of different religions and races, he wears his mother's talisman. He will surely grow up and become a messenger of peace on earth, like a worthy son of his father.A symbol of a future without evil, without wars, a world moving towards peaceful coexistence. The light of hope and peace on earth,In a world without walls, without unfair constraints, without differences or contempt for different ethnic groups or nations because the supreme value above all is: love and peace We are all human beings, we share the same planet Earth, and we owe each other as "brothers" the respect for life. In the end, he joined with people of different races and religions from another era that touches the present and the future In a world without walls, without unfair constraints, without differences or contempt for different ethnic groups or nations because the supreme value above all is: love and peace We are all human beings, we share the same planet Earth, and we owe each other as "brothers" the respect for life. ,Piper represents the force Totalitarian, oppressor who is not alien to us and who understands that war is the way to make people free (real nonsense).Piper (is the name of a soldier's opponent, a soldier who only hates, annihilates and destroys. What a paradox for a friend who, in his childhood, saves soldier Dimash from drowning. But life is like this, full of changes, good and bad, Evil, war and contempt happen when we lose love for one another, and our way to God and making peace and love in the world is not difficult but possible if we work together for love and peace and stop wars, hate and contempt. It is about calling for cooperation, to save lives, love, friendship and the land of our children. “Art is a sacred message in life, and these are the true artists.. And the earth needs these reformers in their precious, true and immortal work for the sake of love and peace on earth..Thank God for his gifts

La mejor canción de Dimash 💯💯🇨🇷

[@DL2010000]

Hello Lukas! Thank you for your sincere reaction! 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 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, through his music, MVs and many charities he dedicates his time to. He is a Legend and will go down in History. The mini movie is full of symbolisms, it's the story of 3 youths, and the necklace which was made by the young Dimash and shared with his friends symbolizing lifelong friendship and unity. The Piper grew up and started a war, using the symbol of the necklace as the crest on his army uniform. This is my breakdown of the story, as I see it: 1) Dimash, who was drowning at the beginning and at the end. 2) The Piper, the one who saved Dimash, and who became the leader, and who 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 at the end, who inherited the necklace from his mother…, they were all torn by the war. 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, Shepard or Wise Man at the end of the video was Dimash’s newborn son, 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. Love from Canada 💖

I started watching this when it came out and stopped very early. Just couldn't handle - wasn't willing to endure - the emotions and the horror of it all. Finally got all of the way through a couple of months later. It's enigmatic, horrible, hopeful and devastating. I admire his courage in tackling this, and his unsparing eye.

[@rose-maries7131]

Dimash the soldier didn't kill his old friend who was in charge of this war only to revenge the murder of his daughter. He sacrificed himself to help ending the war, by taking the leader out. Dimash as a child and the girl at the boat in the beginning, becomes a couple. So the woman sitting on the floor holding the pendant in her hand (when they cut back to Dimash holding his pendant simultaneously) is his wife, and the girl she is holding her arm around is their first born child. And she is very much pregnant. So she is also the woman giving birth in the basement (still the pendant around her neck) after their house is raided and her and Dimashes daughter is killed.. It's hard to see all the details going on in the MV, and listen to Dimash singing at some freaking sci-fi and total un-humanlike level... 💔😭💔😭💔😭💔

The boy who saved Dimash from drowning tried to kiss the girl and she rejected him, that's why he had that look on his face and wasn't so happy to except the gnomon ( triangle from a sundial) from Dimash. This is the most expensive MV ever made. Great observations Lukas, with figuring out who was who at the different times from childhood to adult. The lyrics say a lot and so does the video that accompanies it. The other message, the one of the unity of the various religions going together as a group is exciting and daring to do too, as is the entire video. Dimash shows he's not afraid, even at this early stage in his career to put his values forward, and he has most of us Dears united behind him too. He first showed this to a Religious convention in Kazakhstan and the Pope awarded Dimash with a medal for it. They too seem to like the message. Hope to see you do more Dimash reactions, it's nice to hear your thoughts. Love from a Disciple of Dimash, Los Angeles Chapter

He wrote it, produced it, it took him 3 years to make it and he pays for the entire thing, there’s numbers going around, but not fro DIMASH. He had around three hundred extras, it is an incredible production. He has done good with this incredible work of art. You are the 4th person out of hundreds of reactions i have watch, to the point i learn the song the first week. I love this work, he is showing how serious his taking his point of view, remember his country was part of the soviet union, he speaks and sings fluently and he works with best song writer, producer, Mr. Krotoy ( russian) you fallow the straight massage to you knos who!

Hola, Dimash tardo 3 años en escribir está obra maestra. La música por supuesto es su compositor y el vídeo costo 7 millones de dólares. Sería muy importante que leyeras el mensaje de paz de DIMASH.

Amamos la sensibilidad de DIMASH. Es un Embajador de la Paz

[@ankwm]

This MV is the quintessence of Dimash's genius, but more important, this is his message to the world. We all know how peaceful he is, and he said how painful was the creation of this masterpiece. His voice is his instrument to transcend borders, religions and cultures, reason why he insists on the importance of the journey he proposes instead of his vocal skills. You should react to his live performance (the premiere of this song took place in his latest concert in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Sept 2022), it was an incredible moment (there is a very good fancam by Dimash Vietnamese fanclub and he also released the full concert on his YT channel - this performance is in the part 3). Thank you for your analysis and for sharing your thoughts about this exceptional piece. I hope you will continue to react to Dimash, not only because of his immense talent but also because the world needs personalities like him, praying for love and calling for peace.

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.

He composed the music and wrote the script in addition to acting and singing. However, the director was the same woman that directed his MV Okey. You must react to his first song in Spanish El Amor en Ti. A real masterpiece that he also composed. Dimash will start his studies for film directing at the NY film school in LA this year. Take care.❤️🙏🕊

Oh, no te imaginas cuánto espere tu reacción . Cariños desde Chile 🇨🇱😁 para ti, se te extraña. 🥰

[@marynachauvet2631]

Wow !!! Salut, Lukas 🤗 Merci pour l'apparition & réaction 👌

[@FluffysMum]

Dimash composed this music for The Story of One Sky, he also had his words put into English lyrics. He came up with the idea for this short film, wrote the screenplay and script, and was with the director checking it was going to his vision as well as acting as the main character. Between all his work commitments, solo concerts and his PhD, this work took him 3 years to complete. The meaning, peace and love to all, and no to war, is very, very important to Dimash. He has been promoting all his life that we should first be decent human beings, treat each other with love and respect and his anti war stance means so much to him. This film is not a music video but a masterpiece of great importance in these troubled times ❤ Later this year Dimash will be taking up his place at the New York Film Academy LA branch to do a University course in Film making and Directing and I am certain that he will come away with a new qualification and a lot of Knowledge in the subject. Being an extremely intelligent young man who listens, watches and learns very quickly Spielberg will need to watch his back 😄🥰 the children on the beach, not older its the same day, very important as this start sets up the whole story. Over the last few years most of Dimash's songs have been in English. Dimash was the soldier at the start under the boardwalk who shot two soldiers and got shot and bombed himself. Iits how his arm came to be bandaged in the film.

Tak for det Lukas ♥️ Som mange andre har fortalt, har han skrevet musikken over tre år, og har haft historikken på plads til historien. Du burde se Dimash live optræden i Almaty med denne sang. Han giver alt! 🫠 Den fan base han har bygget op over alt i verdenen, giver en masse kærlighed og forståelse. Og det har givet ham en tro på at vi kan forenes igennem musik, tolerance, forståelse og kærlighed og fred. Han gentager igen og igen til sine koncerter, at vi har brug for fred og ingen religiøs bog, eller få præsidenter skal skabe ufred i verdenen. Så tak igen for dine tanker 🥰 Hej fra 🇩🇰

[@docdurdin]

Dimash, wrote, composed, and arranged this entire saga as well as paid for the entire project as a gift to the world. He spent 3 years doing the project.

[@sandrak.robbins6305]

Yay! Good to see you again reacting to Dimash's masterpiece. He worked for 3 yrs on this and 3 countries with about 3 -400 people. His vocals are stunning and meld so perfectly with the scenes that it is difficult to concentrate on only one. The necklace is the gnomon, the main part of a sundial. The drowning boy grows up to be the soldier. The taller boy who saved him becomes the commander. The girl rejects the taller boy and ends up marrying the soldier. They have a daughter together. She is pregnant when their apt. is raided by the commander's army. The daughter gets separated from the mother and is killed by the soldiers. She is spirited to an underground place to give birth to a baby boy. The soldier is conflicted about war and runs home to find his daughter killed and he doesn't know what has happened to his pregnant wife. The soldier kills his childhood friend and is then killed in turn. When the taller boy was given the necklace, he squeezes it and bends it = he looses his way. As commander he has a warped idea of war and peace. The soldier dies and goes back to when he was drowning as a child and his life passes through him in memories. As he is dying he screams 'we choose life'. He dies at the moment his son is born. The mother also dies in childbirth. The baby becomes the leader in the robe, but also the soldier is reincarnated at that moment too. Plus, it is Dimash (note how he gives a little smile at the camera as he is putting on the hood?) leading all of us along with the leaders of ALL religions towards the light, life, and peace. The pilgrims struggle to get to that place at the top of the mountain and seemingly wait for him to lead them. The words at the end are from the conference on religions that Dimash performed 'The Story of One Sky'. The Pope was there and presented him with a medal of gold for his work towards peace. Dimash recently won a scholarship to the New York Film Academy, specializing in “Directing” at the Los Angeles campus, and plans on being in the US attending it for 1 yr. Thank you for all of your observations and your reaction to this meaningful and powerful work of art by Dimash.

Welcome home Lucas! Good to have you back. I missed you and that not very ugly face; the wonderful, intelligent, insightful and sensitive perspectives that you share with us. I think the last scene was of him and the others, who had died, heading towards the light; with him leading them. If I had been writing it, I would have had someone, a best friend, helping the faltering then fallen man - to say no man left behind. Show his friend desperately struggling, even if fruitlessly, to help, to save his stricken friend. If my friend fell like that, rest assured, I would never leave him alone to face whatever fate awaited us - even if it meant that I was to die. And as a man who has made such a sacrifice in this lifetime, I can say that knowing - that I know how to walk that walk, Lucas. But, perhaps, that was the way it was because it made it more poignant? But, it left me with a bad feeling - like an unattended to detail. That is the only criticism I have of the entire production. As The Fairy Voice Mother said, "The term masterpiece is bandied around too often, but this qualifies as a master piece and Dimash is possibly the most creative individual alive in the world." I agree. We are blessed to have him and, be able to witness his brilliance; the love it bespeaks of whom and what kind of man he is and hopes each of us by his example will strive to be.

We choose a life with Dimash. Love 💞 and Peace over the world 😘🌍

Hola Lukkas que agradable verte de nuevo por los caminos de Dimash , gracias por reaccionar de nuevo y que mejor que esta maravillosa obra maestra, saludos

[@analia9306]

Un video con muchos simbolismos y con un gran mensaje!!!Estoy orgullosa de ser Dear!!!Saludos para ti y todos los Dears desde Argentina!!!🤗❤🇦🇷

[@rodrigorra3153]

Explanation of the video: At first 3 children appear, the boy who makes the talismans is Dimash, the 2 boys are in love with the girl, years later Dimash and the girl get married and have a daughter (the girl who dies in the video) the villain of the story is the other guy, who leads everyone to war with his idea that "there's life in war". When Dimash mentions the "Piper" in the song, it is based on the flutist of Hamelin, who with his flute lured and hypnotized the rats to follow him and die, in the song the "Piper" becomes the evil leader, who led all to their deaths with a war in search of a so-called "Union". In the end, the protagonist (Dimash) kills the one who was his childhood friend (the villain) and dies too. Falling into the water and shouting "we choose life" is a desperate cry of "There is no life in war, war is death", declaring that humanity wants to live and begins to remember everything that happened, it is there showing fragments of them as children with talismans and growing up in war. We can see how the one who saved his life one day took away his family and the lives of his people years later. The child who is born at the end is Dimash's son, his mother dies giving birth (the little girl at the beginning of the video) and the Dimash who comes out at the end walking in the desert with everyone behind him, is the already grown-up child, for this reason he carries the talisman, It is a representation of a Liberator in search of peace, and that is why everyone hunts him, all this after the war. The symbol of the pendant is a maritime compass sundial, with the true gnomon facing north. The boy who becomes military never wears the collar, if we look, we realize that the boy bent the gnomon angry when he is rejected by the girl, this way he shows us that he could not reach the true north in the story, because he lost the his moral compass. Dimash in this video talks about how war destroys us, and in his video he makes many references to the koran and also biblical, only that he unites all religions and races in history.

Greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾 Dimash wrote the music and the film script also. A masterpiece indeed! Lots of love!

[@MrKellyDC]

I'm so happy to see you again. And to react to this video. I think Dimash is putting his foot down on world stupidness. He's not caring about offending, no one can wonder about where he stands. Only one resolution for me this year... im choosing life!!!!!!

[@jensstawicki1870]

For me this is one of the best reactions to „ the story of one sky „ Thank you for this

[@vivienmc5983]

So glad to see you back. Please don’t leave Dimash for so long again! ❤😊

[@ceceliakrieg5824]

He said that no one wins in war, wether you are defending your family, and having to take up arms, just as is happing now . No one wins in the end. Everyone is damaged in some way. Loved your insight. It was excellent for us who have never been in that industry. Thanks.

[@shawnkerrick7815]

When Dimash premiered this song at his concert he gave a speech prior to singing the song. I think that speech is important and gives context to the song and story: "Many thanks dear friends, before I perform the next song, let me say a few words. Thank you very much. We, the people sitting in this stadium, each of us is different, not totally alike one another, but we are all God's children, each of us with different talents. And, as I mentioned just now, right now is a bad time. In fact, I am not satisfied with the present situation. I have not seen how such situations evolved in the past, therefore I don't know what will happen next. But many people are suffering today because of a few individuals, it's really true. We, we the adults, consider ourselves to be "smarter" than the small children and innocents, but while we do our best to teach and educate our children, we forget that we also have some things to learn from those children. They are pure-hearted, kind, friendly, untainted and without egos and their love for people are pure. Young children have such qualities. I started writing this song I'm about to perform, three years ago. Generally speaking, my main purpose in writing this work is to call for peace in the world. It's a small composition that has burst out from deep within my heart. To tell you truth, many thanks to god and with your wishes I traveled to many parts of the world and met many different people during my tours. One thing I understood is that if you look at ordinary people, there is no such thing as a bad nationality, there is no bad nationality! I don't need to tell you what you already know about the reason for mentioning the topic of nationality here... Let there be peace in the world, Let there be peace. Let there be no war. Let no people, let no nationality, let no country suffer! Because after all, ordinary individuals, ordinary people are not at fault. The truth of the matter is, no ordinary person is guilty of starting a war! That's why the next song I'll be performing in your honor is about our common fate under one sky, it's called "The Story of One Sky". Hope you like it."

[@bettymac4533]

Great reaction, thank you. Our Dimash is very vocal about the futility and human cost of war. He detests war and has stated that wars are always between two people not two nations. He has said that he is 'only a singer' so all he can do is 'use his voice'. This is Dimash's humility and him using his voice. Dimash composed the music and wrote the screen play. This was a project 3 years in the making on and off in-between commitments in many countries and his homeland not to mention his concerts of which there was four in 2022 alone. Dimash premiered The Story of One Sky live at his concert in Almaty, Qazaqstan on the 23rd September and the video released on the 24th. The emotion, heart and soul is real and I believe this was a way for him to vent his frustration at current world events. It’s mostly about life, death and rebirth. Director Alina Veripya is second to none in her field and portrayed everything magnificently. I believe she also directed ‘Okay’ for Dimash which was a great video. The Story of One Sky is an absolute mind blowing masterpiece and deserves unrivalled recognition from all corners of the earth. This makes you sad, cry and smile but leaves you questioning the direction we as a humans are travelling. Dimash promised something epic and that was a colossal understatement. He delivered as always. ❤💕🕊
