The screenplay was written by Dimash and he spent 3 years composing the music. This was obviously a labor of true passion for peace and harmony. He is truly a remarkable storyteller and human being. We are blessed to be alive in the time of Dimash.

Fact?

Hello friend! Thank you for your sincere reaction, you got so much of the plot right, way to go! 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, and 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. He is a Legend 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 at the end, born in his father's image and 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. Love from Canada 💖

Bravo! 🎉 Good job. Spread the word. I noticed some reactors deeply affected with the sad parts of the video but couldn't figure out how to connect it with the different religions scenes and The Pilgrim Dimash. They went like sad and shocked through the video, then "I'm so confused", then "Wait, isn't he dead in the sea" 😂

[@user-ch7bg5cu4o]

Great explanation! i"d add one thing. The medallion is part of a compass, a "moral compass". The Piper rejects the gift, doesn't put it on and bends it. When the symbol is used militarily the center is closed.

En 13 minutos te lleva por un montaña rusa emocional, acabas con la sensación de haber visto una trama de 2 horas en el cine, de esas que te dejan el corazón encogido. Tanto en lo visual como en lo sonoro es una obra de arte, y lo completa con un mensaje tan brutal como necesario. Si con 29 años nos regala esto ¿ qué hará dentro de 10 años? Ojalá el talento de Dimash llegue a valorarse como merece, ojalá más público sepa apreciar la calidad y el arte. Hay otro tipo de música más allá de esos productos comerciales autotuneados.

[@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

Вот только Димаш, спасает друга, а не наоборот. Димаш спас, а друг потом стал причиной гибели дочери Димаша и многих других людей, затеяв войну. Именно так это имеет смысл. Погибли друг тогда и всё сложилось бы иначе, но Димаш его спас.

The video shows once again that Dimash is an absolute genius. In singing but also as an actor and as a storyteller. The powerful message conveyed by this video is more relevant today than ever. I think this video is mostly about the message. This message however, is for the first time more important than his vocal abilities. His voice is just the tool in this video. But simply unbelievable. His singing is indescribable and I don’t have the words to express it adequately. But it is only the mediator of what this video is about. This is so heartbreaking and sad and an awesome masterpiece. Pure goosebumps. You probably have to see it more than once to understand it. He worked on this composition for three years and also wrote the screenplay. The premiere was on September 24, 2022. As some have mentioned, this video should be seen by many people. It may be very brutal for some. But let’s not forget that for many, including children, this is everyday life in some countries. And Dimash relentlessly shows us how ugly war is. Dimash was the little boy who was drowning in the beginning and he gave the necklace to his childhood friend (and future leader) and the girl. The girl on the beach was his future wife. She was pregnant and in the end of the video she gave birth to her and Dimashs' (character) second child. The littel girl who was shot was Dimashs and her first daughter. When he came home and saw his daughter dead on the ground, he had to assume that his wife was also killed. Desperation and maybe revenge has led him to kill his former friend. When I first saw the video, I was shocked. I didn't think he was going to shoot his friend. But in the end that all made sense. Dimash wanted to show what revenge can do. Violence always breeds violence, and because of this, not only is the leader dead, but so is Dimash. It was so heartbreaking to see Dimash drown at the end. Dimash in the last sequence of the video was the baby that was born and now as a grown man unites people of different nationalities and religions for peace. OMG he is such a phenomenal actor. And yes, you're right, he refers to „Imagine“ from John Lennon and when he found his daughter he growled old Kazakh words „Man is a caravan, life is a road“. But it‘s funny how very few reactors realize that the soldiers shot in the arm at the beginning of the war scenes was Dimash. If you want to know more about this video check out dimashnews. com Btw, Dimash has received an award from Pope Francis personally at The Congress of the Leaders of World and Traditional Religions held in Kazakhstan on September 13, 2022. He performed the song there in connection with the congress before the premiere. Can you imagine, a Muslim receiving an award from the head of the Catholic Church. How wonderful is that🥰. He also gave a speech at the first Central Asian Media Forum, in which he once again strongly advocated peace. You can see it with English subtitles. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHSYZpRpotuZhg The official live version of his concert (on September 23, 2022 in front of 30,000 people from 68 different countries) is available on his channel, Almaty concert part 3 from minute 23:15 with a short speech in which he performed the song for the first time. You should definitely see this. There are subtitles in English kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4GUo2ytodCgfrc And he's been singing it in all his concerts ever since. But always a little different.

El sueño de Dimash (y lo a dicho muchas veces) es que no hayan fronteras y toda la humanidad se una en busca de la paz.

[@NancyHole]

Dimash - Requiem: The Story of One Sky This is by far the best explanation I have found. It was written by Heiderose Kober: 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 taller child) who later becomes the military commander, never puts on the necklace. After Dimash, (the drowning 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 (later Dimash's Wife and the mother of his daughter who is killed). Thus bent, it can never be oriented to True North, and he has lost his moral l 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/.../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 darkness's 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.

[@FanTributes]

"Adam kerwen omir zhol" = in literal translation is : "The human caravan is the way of life". The meaning, as explained by a Kazakh, is : Life is long and hard, one should be careful with one's choices". For me, the placement of the phrase in that vocal register in that moment of the video, signifies a couple of things : man's life is a series of choices and consequences, and also, in the darkest moment of the story, when the father (Dimash) finds his daughter killed, and experiences the most grueling pain, right before his heart takes the decision to take revenge, that voice sounds like the voice of God himself, reminding him about the danger of the cycle of violence. The whole video is about choices, an exposé about how, losing our love towards one another, we get to violence and war. And the ending is the alternative proposed, traveling the hard path of life together, pilgrims of all faiths, following the light.

The boy who saved the drowning boy is the Piper, the boy who was saved was Dimash, he marries the girl and they have a daughter. That daughter gets killed and Dimash's wife dies during childbirth, so they gave her gnomon to the baby and the community raises him to lead them all into the light of peace . You did real good in trying to figure it out in one sitting

Yes, Dimash IS speaking of John Lennon's song "Imagine".

[@laheeb64]

Dimash is the one who was saved. This makes him more responsible towards those who saved him. As for the people who were pleased and whom Dimash became with, they are the ones who sacrificed their lives as a price for defending a person’s right to choose his belief.

[@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. Something else i noticed is in his dying breath he sang (We're Choosing Life) as he finally passed away now that is powerful

[@FinarfinNoldorin]

The necklace is also a part of a navigational compass that represents, I think, that we all have a moral compass within, and it is our choice what direction in life we take. The symbolism and meaning in this video are like no other. There are no real winners in war. John Lennon and Michael Jackson fought for peace to no avail. On the "other side", Dimash joins all of the world's religious leaders to walk up hill through heavy storms toward the light to reach unity and peace. It is our choice to follow. It's time to "choose life".

It took Dimash 3 years and 7 million dollars to make this video😇🥰

[@VikingReacts]

Worth every penny!

[@thewarriorforever]

3 years of hard work is right but 7 millions of dollars is not true,is a fake news spreading from stupid people/idiotic haters..Stop spread notice that are not official and are not from Dimash or his team of work..Who know Dimash know very well that he never speaks about money..The Boss King Angel Dimash Forever

Or, perhaps, at the end we see all the souls of different religions going to the same sky? This video is beautiful but also shocking. It delights you but also moves you. It makes you feel but also think and leaves a message. This is art.

[@niviaanamiranda9221]

El niño que salvo a Dimash, pretendía el amor de la niña, pero esta prefirió a Dimash y el quedo en ese momento disgustado y despechado. Después se convirtió en un dictador de la guerra. La niña que resulta muerta es la hija de Dimash con su novia de la infancia, la guerra la separa de la madre que ademas esta embarazada del 2do hijo y es el que finalmente continua el camino del Dimash en busca de la paz cuando el muere. Salvo que este enfermo, nadie nace bueno o malo, los caminos que elegimos en la vida, sellan nuestro destino

[@almamerk]

Tienes razón, es un triángulo amoroso de dos niños enamorados de la misma niña, ésta elige a Dimash y luego es su mujer, con la que tiene una hija (que muere en sus brazos) y que pare a su otro hijo, el futuro salvador. El amigo, quien lo salvó de ahogarse, se transforma en un dictador. Ahora tienes que ver esta obra maestra en vivo en su estreno en Almaty!!!

[@heiderosekober379]

The title itself - “Story of One Sky” - is thought-provoking. Before Islam became the predominant religion in Kazakhstan, the nomadic people of the steppes followed Tengriism with Father Sky and Mother Earth as deities. Like many old pantheistic religions, its core tenet was the “unity of all things” since everything in the natural world is animated by and connected through spirit. This concept of spiritual unity lives on in Kazakh traditions, music and poetry. It is subtitled "Requiem” to commemorate and mourn all those who have died in war and in the struggle for peace, but it is also a vision for the future and a call to action to save ourselves and our world. Raised in an observant Muslim household, classically trained in music, educated in world and Kazakh history, and immersed in literature and folklore, Dimash has a deep understanding of sacred music and the mystic teachings and symbolism of the major world religions as well as ancient traditions, so 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 it is 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. Dimash interweaves the past and the present, the ancient and the modern, throughout this work. Alluding to more contemporary music, 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 to be achieved by erasing our differences and giving up our identities. The world is complex, cultural roots run deep, and people experience life quite differently across the globe. If we choose life, if we wish for peace, if we want a world without war for our children and grandchildren, we must find common ground while respecting our differences 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. We see that happening every day around us. 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. Many of us remember the story of the Pied Piper of Hameln from our childhood. 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 war, who do not support 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. There are no winners in war. Dimash is right: war is death. It is the failure of our humanity. 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 and punctuated by the sound of Tibetan bells that create a sacred space, reminding us that death and birth are both sacraments and are interwoven in the tapestry of life. The birth underground is reminiscent of the sacred cave Akmeshit (White Mosque) found in Southern Kazakhstan, an ancient place of power said to heal diseases and cure infertility. Dimash's vocalization and the pilgrims representing world religions and religious leaders, past and present, walking up the sacred mountain together shift the narrative toward the final conflict and finally redemption. With the mountain scenes, Dimash alludes to another sacred place in Kazakhstan on the Kazakh/Russian border, Ice Mountain, which is referred to by the local Altai residents as “The dwelling of the Gods” and by Buddhists as the location of the Shambhala, the legendary country of Gods. When Dimash’s character decides to avenge the murder of his daughter, his state of consciousness is reflected in the darkening of the sky with lightning bolts of anger accompanying the storms of his emotions that buffet the pilgrims. 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 also 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.” There is a very moving scene where pilgrims bury a man who perished on the journey. Men of different faiths come together to honor his life and his passing. This reverent expression of love and unity stands in stark contrast to the commander’s harsh pronouncement that it is war that unites people. 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. As the hymn goes: "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me." Dimash is a very spiritual person, so using the symbols and sounds of the major world religions is fitting for this work. For those who do not subscribe to any faith tradition, I want to mention Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s latest book “Starry Messenger” where this agnostic scientist calls for the need to develop a cosmic perspective along with the rationality of science to solve the intractable human conflicts that so often lead to war. It is on that HIGHER ground - be it in religion, humanism, or science - that we can find COMMON ground.

I enjoyed your video so much..thank you for this..Dimash is a genius..❤👏👏👏👏

[@portiaShao]

The words he spoke in Kazakh "Адам - керуен, өмір - жол!". People -- caravan, life -- path. (people are caravan on the path of life. You will have to watch his live performance in Almaty or later concerts, he gave his soul and it’s heart breaking to listen and watch but we had to❤❤❤

[@ivanroman8970]

I think you got it pretty much right. And his vocals are so amazing. He performed this at his concert in Almaty the night before it was released. And seeing him perform this is extremely powerful. You can get the video clip on his channel, either separately or in Part Three of that concert, which is wonderful from beginning to end.

[@blueorchidfeather]

It is Dimash's Son that was birthed and not a reincarnation of Dimash's character... Dimash has said somewhere that i remember that it is about recognizing that- it is a generational transfer of Knowledge and Dimash's aspiration and his son continued his path... The wind and dust and the struggle of the Pilgrims to progress shows that revenge is not the right path, and Dimash paid the price with his Life... And when young Dimash was saved from Drowning that there was also a moment where the child chose life - his hand grasped the girl"s hand and then he took the saving breath! Dimash's videos are steeped in symbolism, and hidden "Easter Eggs" for us not only to consume the Songs and images, but to think deeply ... If you want to watch his videos that are like that then I suggest The Love of Tired Swans, Know, Golden. All are Official MV of those songs... Dimash is a deep thinker, very philosophical, and very spiritual !

[@lauraalkhaz2163]

You should check out his video of Know which he filmed in Iceland, as well as Okay, Love of Tired Swans, Golden and Omir Oter. All MV's. The Story of One Sky is a Masterpiece, no doubt about it.

[@merlin7260]

You had it right the first time. The general is the older boy who saved him, but was always jealous that Dimash got the girl, and as an evil general specifically went after Dimash's family; little girl shot was his daughter; girl was his wife and giving birth to second child who grew up to lead people to the light. Very brief synopsis. 🎶♥️🎶

[@nuriaraya2155]

Una obra maestra. Maravilloso Dimash

[@aurismosquera4308]

Su obra maestra que le tomo 3 años culminar. No solo por la composicion o su tecnica vocal. Escribio el guion del video participo ennla producion del mismo y dio muchas pinceladas en la letra. Y le suma todos los simbolismo que puso en esta obra que te deja en shock. Desde la historia de niños inicentes que se ayudan mutuamente y que de adultos quedan envuelto ennlados opuestos de una guerra Tambien el letra sobre Imagine y elbum de jhon sobre Pipper que tiene varias elecciones sobre el flautista de hamlet o el gaitero piper de la guerra. Tambien simbolismos sobre la vida y la muerte el odio y la venganza sobre el dolor y el amor. Las religiones caminando juntas al igual que las etnias cuando rodeanb al que piensa sera el guia hacia la luz o sea el hijo de Dimash. La historia esta contada en pasado presente y futuro cuando crece el niño que todos salvaron Tambien sobre el simbolo que inocentemente uaso el niño es un objeto que en el mar se usa para marcar el norte verdadero el cual dos de loa noños se colgaron y el tercero nunca lo hizo y doblo una de sus puntas lo que deja inutil la poeza para marcar el rumbo correcto Son muchas cosas para contar e interpretar

[@sp72929]

For me it's to show the absolute senseless destruction of war and that there are no real winners as Dimash kills the leader but dies as well, he doesn't even fight, he's given up, waiting for it to happen, broken. Three friends one even saving the life of the other, happy and in the end just the girl survives but she lost her husband (Dimash) and her daugher (the little girl) and even her childhood friend... When will people learn? This is an absolute masterpiece even for Dimash. His music videos are all (except the very first one) more like little feature movies full of methaphores and visually stunning and meaningful. So yes, there is more 😊

The extremely clever aspect of this MV is that it makes you think through the whole process & in doing so it means you are taking it all in! Which is what Dimash wanted. He wanted people to think about it on a deep level & because of it's content it forces you to do that. He really is a genius!💖💖

So many reactors miss the trigger sound and therefore miss the full shock of that moment. They then seem to spend to much time questioning about the dead child instead of just feeling the grief when Dimash discovers her.

[@stargazer1802]

You Got it Right!! Dimash saved the life of the future dictator as a child. (Heralded by facial features - soft face long hair = Dimash; Square sharp face = dictator) Dimash married the girl... who gave him the daughter who was killed. The newborn son of Dimash becomes the ultimate leader at the end of this marvelous featured short film.... Kudos to you! P.S if you go to approx. 4:46 in the video you will see the wife holding his daughter...

[@cynthiabruce-marzenska5024]

The message is there… a lot of layers of interpretation. There apparently is a libretto that explains the video. The character of the boy who saved Dimash is “Piper”. Dimash does not believe that war is the answer. He married his childhood sweetheart (also Piper’s crush). Their daughter is killed by Piper’s soldiers who have been told that only those who agree with them are part of their group. You have done well with your interpretation. Dimash has also performed this live and has also composed a song called War and Peace - the best performance having been recorded in the Ukraine before the war became as violent as now. Prayers from Canada!

This is my interpretation. Dimash is the saved child. The boy who saves him is still innocent and shows us how someone can become corrupt. They are both in love with the girl. Dimash forms a family with her, they kill their daughter, while she gives birth to their youngest son. I think the end is that that child grows up and becomes the leader of all religions, a beautiful utopia. (If you realize, the mother also dies) #StopWarInUkrania 💙💛💙💛💙💛

А я считаю, что Димаш спасает друга, который станет диктатором. В этом больше смысла - спасти того, кто разрушит потом твою жизнь.

[@Koquitaful]

@@user-vp1su5zz5b It may be, but look at the physical characteristics of the children, the boy who is saved has black hair and has the same scar as Dimash, the other has more European features (I think he is Russian) and even has the same mole on his face. the face that when he is the general. Kisses.

[@hitomiochiai8787]

Imagine is definitely referring to John Lennon's song, and you got the gist of the meaning. Dimash always stands for Peace, Love and Unity, should check out his song War and Peace, music by Dimash but lyrics by a Chinese lyricist.

[@Snarky_Tart]

Great job with your analysis. Thank you!

[@professorcarlosedmundomart2654]

He visto esta magnífica producción ( oficial y reacciones ) decenas y decenas de veces, y la suya es una de las que más me han conmovido.

[@gluvisgarcia8748]

Gracias por tu reacción , te costo un poco entender la historia pero al final lo hiciste y lo más importante el mensaje que quiere transmitir Dimash lo entendiste perfectamente, todos vivimos bajo un mismo cielo, no importa la raza, religión, debemos siempre estar unidos y elegimos la vida ante todo, , saludos desde Venezuela

Yes, the word "Imagine" is a reference to John Lennons' song, as it really has passed that moment now, sadly ❤ Dimash's character grew up to be the soldier, and the girl was first seen briefly as his wife holding his little girl who was late4 killed, in fear, through the hole in the wall in the scene mentioning "imagine." Then again as his wife giving birth to the baby, while Dimash was grieving his daughter, that grew up to be his son, leading the pilgrims toward the light. ❤ This work is ALL Dimssh, all his thoughts, feelings, morals. He came up with this story and wrote the screenplay and dialogue. He acted in it from the start, the soldier under the boardwalk to the very end. He composed this beautiful song over 3 years, in between concerts, performances, TV appearances, composers block etc. He asked a poet to pit his words into English lyrics. He worked closely with the director on every part of the filming. He was on set to advise and uplift everyone, cast and crew, and often sung to give joy to all. Dimadh sings all the time he just can't help himself 😊 This is a true masterpiece of a short film, and he premiered the song singing it live at the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions in September last year 2022 in front of the Pope and many others. It went down well, and afterwards, Dimash met the Pope who presented him with a commemorative medal. I think it gave them a lot to think about ❤ Two things you missed the woman is portraying his characters wife, the little girl is his daughter. The baby being born is his son who grows up leading the pilgrims toward the light. Its Dimashs mussion to spread love throught the world. He helps so many people in so many ways including with his charitable contributions. Dimash is a true humanitarion but he hates anyone to find out where his money goes, to him he loves to give anonymously, he needs no fanfare. He is a truly great and moral human being and you cant say that about many people ❤

Hola, esta obra maestra de DIMASH me deja el mensaje "que la Guerra es MUERTE" y los "Seres humanos elejimos LA VIDA" el AMOR y la PAZ😭😭☁️☁️☀️⭐🕊️🕊️ Gracias DIMASH 🤴🇰🇿🙏🏽👏👏👏 Saludos Chile 🇨🇱

[@timhuffmaster3588]

I am so happy to hear you ask if he was referring to John Lennon’s song “Imagine”. I’ve mentioned it to other reactors but none have replied to me. You were right in your interpretation of the storyline. My take on the last section is that the people walking through the desert are the casualties of war. What a treat to watch your reaction. Thank you.

[@joybroman1102]

You should definitely check out the live version of this on Dimash’s channel, Almaty concert part three. Amazing masterpiece ❤

@VikingReacts 🎆~••~🎆 Thanks very much for your very thoughtful reaction, Dear! 🕊 Please consider reacting to the LIVE performance of this masterpiece that includes the moving speech he gave to the audience prior to singing it. 👼 You'll be blown away! When this was first released, everyone analyzed the song & the short film it narrates with many Dears' observations reading like philosophical prose mirroring DQs' anger, pain & ultimately deep sorrow he'd previously mentioned feeling towards what he previously described as helplessness and a overwhelming feeling of inadequacy for being armed only with his vocal instrument to use in protest of a war that has ultimately pitted his friends' families in neighboring countries against one another with children being murdered or orphaned as they slept. Heiderose Kober's insights (if you're fortunate enough to have her or another Dear post them in your comments) are the most profound & complete analysis I've read thus far. 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 instructed us to do, as well as, promote it by sharing it far & wide. My understanding is that there will be no blocking by him or his team as he wants it shared and for 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 thus 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's character experiences with the murder of his beloved daughter which is more than he can bear & his choice to seek revenge against his former friend who had long ago saved his life before choosing 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) that he himself is subsequently killed by enemy soldiers, with his character's soul screaming out from his watery grave #WeReChoosingLife which is the only choice humanity has left! 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 new & hopeful day is dawning. His infant child remains in the material world left only with his mother's talisman yet grows into a great 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

[@chandadas304]

Dimash is the kid, who was saved, the taller kid is the general. Yes, the girl is Dimash wife and baby is Dimash lookalike (actually Dimash acting)

[@user-vp1su5zz5b]

По мне так наоборот. Димаш спас друга, который потом станет диктатором. Спасти того, кто разрушит потом твою жизнь - именно в этом есть смысл.

This Is a masterpiece. Incredíble!!!

[@joycequillen5782]

Amazing thank you for your reaction. I believe you came to the same conclusions that a lot of us Dears cams to. Noe watch him singing this song at his Almalty Concert it is also a work of art and you are not distracted from watching a movie. Thank you again.😊😊😊

Don't worry about where it's going. Feel it first. I didn't understand it at first but it moved me deeply and I knew I'd seen and heard something really, really special. Then I did some research about Kazakhstan....

[@catladygoddess]

I also think he was referring to John Lemon’s song. Given his own anti-war sensibilities and his music education, he would be very aware of John Lennon.

[@laylasofia3146]

un vrai chef-d'oeuvre ❤❤❤❤....merci pour votre réaction

[@mallesarv8789]

Thank you for brilliant reaction! you see, you hear, you understand! This masterpiece should be shown to the leaders of world forcefully and repeatedly... yeah, I imagine...

[@wbrenne]

Congratulations for being the first reactor (to my knowledge) who got this complex and dense masterpiece entirely right! You may enjoy Dimash's videos Okay and Golden as well, maybe also Across Endless Dimension. Another great video is Be With Me, but it may be too much pop with a too shallow plot for your taste, so watch it when you are in the mood for some light entertainment for pure fun.

[@user-ic8bo4kj9e]

What he says in that very deep voice when he finds his little daughter is "man is a caravan, life is the road"

[@thewarriorforever]

A very important thing..Who write that Dimash for this mv/mini film,a work of art of high level and quality,spent 7 millions of dollars is a liar and spread a big fake news..And who spread fake news about Dimash is surely not his fan or his dear but is just a loser and miserable hater..Who know Dimash know very well that he never speaks about money..While the notice of 3 years of hard work of Dimash in this project is the truth..The Boss King Angel Dimash Forever
