The song in the beginning perfectly resembles the country. It’s eery, majestic, depressing, and dreary. This whole video is life to them from the moment they’re born till the bite the dust. All the young ones in the video don’t deserve those lives but it’s what they have to deal with and they aren’t complaining because it’s all they know and will forever know. No one can leave and no one knows about the outside world. The dictator is basically their god and each and every single one is brainwashed into submission and conformity. It’s a real world example of the matrix or the book “1984” but it feels as real as them. All the old buildings and the empty streets feels like the whole city is in another dimension. The officer guiding the empty street even though there are no vehicles resemble how robotic and non-human the people are. The people lost their individuality, their humanity. The world is drab and grey. This is the world for them forever, day after day and there is no escape. Obey or die. The rest of the world doesn’t exist for them. Their family, jobs, home, belongings and dictator is all they know. So if your think that your life suck or you think that you have it bad, just think about this extremely dictatorship oriented country. Your country may have some problems but it’s never like North Korea.
