reacting to Ren - The Tale of Jenny & Screech THE TRILOGY [SHOOK!!]

The more I delve deeper into Ren's music, the more I understand how much of a lyrical genius he really is. I don't think I mentioned it in the reaction, but the tunes that he creates are stunning.

Violet's Tale: Ren wrote this portion of the Trilogy in 2019. He's looking around confused in the hospital bed because the setting is in 2005, and he has to rewind time to tell Violet's story. She gives birth to twins who grow up never knowing each other after their mother Violet died, and were probably separated in the foster care system. Fourteen years later in 2019, they meet with tragic results. Some say that Jenny was a prostitute, walking the street 1,000 times before in high-heeled shoes.

It sounds live because it is live, and done in one take.

Black and blue means covered with bruises

[@chrishyland7144]

Born lying side by side, died in streets side by side. The vicious circle.

[@Tokin420]

Yes jenny and screech were twins separated at birth cuz there mom died and dad pry went to jail. Jenny was like her mom. She freezes, violet gets quiet. And screech is like his dad, Stevie. Its generational trauma. Great story

[@kahlinkelley1294]

But is their dad really Steve or is the dad Violet's father? Remember, he tucked her in and never left the room. She moved out at 16 to a flat she obtained through a welfare scheme. Typically you cannot get certain welfare assistance unless you have kids (or are actively pregnant). Then she met Steve after having already moved out. Who really knows who is the father of Jenny and Screech, however, regardless of who it is, Screech still takes after either one of those men in Violet's life.

[@Tokin420]

Ahh didn't think of it like that. Her dad could be the father

[@arklilbro]

Samuel Perry-Falvey is a frequent videographer for Ren and a good friend of his

[@deeannisawesome8996]

He took it from a news story he had seen. The tragedy of it inspired this trilogy, from what I remember.

[@sootikins]

Yea, Ren has said in interviews that Jenny & Screech are loosely based on a news story about a teenage prostitute being killed by a teenage robber. "It's such a shame" is part of the news story and symbolizes how commonplace and "normalized" these sort of things have become. Violet's Tale, written several years later, is pure fiction.

[@ericdotd69]

Violets father tucked her into bed at night, but never left the room🤔. A high % of girls and boys are sexually abused by someone they know in their own home. Banning a girls human rights to getting a abortion for rape n incest is blaming the girl,, again..

[@waschkarte3989]

It really is a great story. Violet was getting abused, always quiet, keeping things in. Having an abusive father, abusive boyfriend. Lost her life. Got twins. Both turn out to be like her relationship, not knowing each other (no mom, probably foster parents or orphanage). Screetch turned out to be abusive. Jenny was like her mum. 14. "Walking the streets". Always quiet. It killed her, like it killed her mum, to just freeze when being in danger. Such an insane story in itself, and so wellllll done by Ren. The more you dig into the rabbithole, the more he's THE artist of our time. Our Freddy Mercury.

I have seen many many many reactors do this trilogy and you’re the first one I’ve seen that went back to the end of Violet’s Tale to make sure what you thought you heard, was actually what you heard. I appreciate that. It’s very frustrating to watch reactors not get it and just end it with never realizing what the actual story was and what it lead to. They wait for the comments to tell them and then go “ohhhhh understanding that makes this 1000 times better!” All they had to do is do what you did and just go back a little bit and they would have gotten it. So THANK YOU for being invested and respectful enough to understand that if you weren’t sure, it’s better to go back than end being confused. Because we watch reactors for the reaction of the entire end of the story! So thank you for doing that. I feel that was the right way to do it and also it’s the RESPECTFUL thing to do, for respect for the work Ren did with it, Sam who films it and also has his acting role in it as well as the art. I don’t understand when people LOVE Ren but are ok ending the video never remotely understanding what the biggest twist is. So thank you for doing that. God bless 💗🙏🏼🇺🇸

[@EarthyBlendPOV]

Yep.

[@lyndsayricardi3462]

Very theatrical! I hear some sounds from the opera Carmen... he’s been put in the category of “bardcore”... he’s so talented and versatile... full of surprises! Welcome the the RENissance! Your reactions are very similar to mine so I consider you my soul family!

[@staceysmith4868]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your reactions... you pick up on stuff pretty quickly, and you research what you're not understanding so that we get to witness both sides of things. Good on you... I will most definitely be back for more!!!

[@Shiroar]

Ren is a modern day bard painting such vivid imagery with his storytelling that it pulls you in and forces you to keep watching - even when it gets physically uncomfortable during Violet’s Tale. And Ren uses this ability to shed light on far too real issues in the world. Ren is special. But great reaction. You got it right. A tragic trilogy of tales but masterfully told. And I loved how you questioned if we as the viewers are Screech because we all have some darkness within. As humans we are flawed. Ren is reminding us to have empathy and try to understand our fellow beings. Also as for you telling Jenny to run, I am glad you also acknowledged that we can’t predict how we react in such situations. My brother and his then girlfriend were on vacation in Nice during the terror truck attack in 2016. They were crossing the road when the truck came speeding down the street and she froze in fear in the middle of the road. Luckily my brother’s reaction was to flee and he had the sense to pull her with him. I believe she saw a therapist for a long time afterwards not just because of the terror itself but because she was struggling with how she reacted to it too. I think we would all love to think we will react sensible and do the right thing in horrible situations, but we just never know until we’re faced with something. Fear is a powerful emotion. Especially if not used to it. But then I wouldn’t wish anyone a life that would make fear a familiar feeling… Anyway, now you get to wait in eager anticipation with the rest of us, cause Ren has said that he and his cinematographer Sam have plans to film a pilot to pitch to Netflix when Ren has finished treatments in Canada and moves back to the UK. All we know is that it will be in the same raw style as this trilogy, but that is enough for me to say that if Netflix doesn’t give Ren his own show, they are fools.

[@spinalobifida]

Patrick, the guy Screech knocked for, was with the lady he called. That's why she was busy.

[@ginjamutha]

I think it was an article in a newspaper that inspired him. The tragic loss of a young girls life and the end of the article essentially said “it’s such a shame”. How sad, oh well, life just goes on…. I think that was why he repeats that line in both Jenny and Screech’s tales

[@lulumeto]

It is historic, I'm 61 and never have seen anything like it. I smashed that sub button, young man. Can't wait to watch you spiral down the Ren Rabbit Hole.

[@RyanESmail]

Jenny’s tale was written about a factual, newspaper article that Ren had read about a “ woman of the night” who was stabbed to death walking home. The other two tales are fictionally written to create the plot twist masterpiece that he envisioned.

[@mellanapa]

Have you ever heard someone getting beaten to death before? No? Well, now you have. Love the reaction xoxo From STHLM, Sweden

[@DogDocKat]

Really enjoyed how you took your time to fully understand these incredible tales. Ren's performance in these was so incredible. Can't wait for the next one 💜💜

[@CindyBaucom-sb1hd]

I really enjoyed ur reaction and comments. Look forward to more REN. liked and subbed

[@dave.james007]

Great reaction 👍👍 looking forward to the next... love music 1,2,3,4 are really fun ✌️

[@sam.must.die34]

You should watch money game part 1,2 and 3, and when you see part 2 make sure it is the lyric video. Great reaction!!

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

This was a brilliant reaction, thank you! You got it! Ren is an incredible storyteller! 🖤 I think you need a fun one now. Try these Losing it The big push - I shot the sheriff/ road to Zion/ hiphop The big push - Wade in the water/ Nina Simone/ trouble so hard

[@helenjarvis7755]

Impressive reaction to this dark masterpiece

[@DevonTuck]

Oh good I was looking forward to your reaction to this!

[@chrisbodum3621]

Interesting reaction and no, you don't talk too much. Nobody is going to knock you for thinking out loud, thanks for sharing your reaction.

[@Phazetic99]

Oh you made me laugh. My friend, you look like a real empath, and I enjoy your reactions to Ren because you really get the depths of emotion. As you were watching this one, it looked to me like you were unimpressed with the way these songs were going. Kind of like watching a movie with gratuitous violence with no plot or reason for it. But then the twist and all of a sudden this song becomes ingenious. Great reaction, I enjoyed that twist so much

[@jimmyjohns5869]

Bloodline by him is awesome ❤

[@rudyb.]

Great reaction! The is trilogy by Ren is my second most favorite musical performance by Ren, “Hi Ren” is No#1…for me. Yeah, there’s nobody out there like Ren these days, he is in a genre by himself. You should get into some “fun” Ren songs.

[@margaretpickholtz8772]

Thanks, good reaction

[@louise11854]

hello dear!! great commentary!! i understand screech better since i started binge watching 'peaky blinders' and met tom and arthur and ptsd!! 'babe' was busy with patrick, oops! i think jenny was a working girl (14 being prime perv age) cuz she was wearing highheels. isn't this fun, the rabbit hole i mean? i see i huge channel in your future, as well!! kathleen bts renegade

[@kalenaquinones7963]

My first thought. Oh no! He pulled up the lyrics.

[@patrickseevers3858]

If you look closely you will see the name of violet on the hospital bed in violets tale

[@francesdoll4039]

Ren read an article in newspaper of a 14 yr old knifed a woman to death and he wondered how this would happen.

[@ShondaLouisianaMama]

Violet died and I’m pretty sure that Stevie went to prison for her death. So the two twins Jenny and screech probably got separated at birth. It’s a classic case of generational trauma. Screech turned out like his dad and Jenny turned out like her mom.

[@williamharris7357]

Most of his stuff is live one takes he does this live in Brighton check it out on his channel

[@user-Terry314]

You've experienced this act, not pleasant but thought provoking, good reaction, you obviously are an intelligent young man, see you next time.

[@belindamelville2270]

Ren❤❤❤❤

[@michaelphipps8647]

Subed for much more Ren!!!

[@lunadyana3330]

Some takeaways on this trilogy, one theme is generational trauma. In Screech's tale, he opens with "the story it starts, just as it ends," then alludes back to Jenny's tale. But as he closes, he says, "the story it ends, just as it starts." To me, that encapsulates the cycle of violence. Violet, in her tale, comes to personify that very cycle. Instead of having to spell out that cycle, she lives it. Childhood sexual abuse leaves her vulnerable to sexual violence and domestic abuse in the adult world. In Violet you see, in her traumatized self-silencing, the seeds of Jenny, who also freezes when cornered. Similarly, you can see in his grandfather (perhaps father?) and in Stevie, the seeds of Screech And we can't forget, in separating the twins and placing them in different homes, all the adults, and the state acting on behalf of those babies, all fail them miserably. The very circumstances that placed both 14 year-olds in a London alley in "2 zero one nine" make obvious that those placements in those homes, and allowing them to stay there or not intervening before they became runaways, or even since they became runaways, that fault lays.with society itself. At 14, as a child of the streets, Screech is a predator surviving by mugging people. His sister, on the other hand, is surviving on sex work or survival sex, dragging her tired feet home in high-heeled shoes. At age 14, the kind 9f home she is so desperate to return to, if only to sleep, that we are left only to imagine. Yet we know clearly, that if she wishes to escape, then surely, in at least one way, she feels trapped. We are tempted while viewing to condemn Ren for acting out these brutal men as they terrorize women, but upon reflection we can't help but realize the social commentary he's performing. By the time he spits out his last "far from pretty," we realize he's crying out for a way to break this cycle that isn't as brutal as one member of the family line literally murdering and ending that family line. So, even as it seems to glorify violence, in the end it's holding a mirror to us, showing us the violence we create when we ignore social problems and allow them to fester. Sentencing so many, by accident of birth, to deep, structural poverty that must exist if we are to insist that some be afforded great wealth, that seems to be the deepest cry out/call out to end the violence by targeting its root causes.

[@patriciaobrien6600]

Flight, fight, freeze, or fawn are the reactions to threat. Jenny froze 😢

[@waschkarte3989]

And so did Violet. :(

[@tiamariamunro]

It's open to interpretation and a darker layer to this story if true but Violet's father is even possibly the twin's father (as well as being their grandfather!) For a 16 year old to get a Council flat chances are because she was pregnant before leaving home & you knew straight away what 'tuck her tight but never leave the room' was referring to...

[@ratkopopov3035]

Patrick was with James GF at that time 😮

[@stephaniewilson1153]

Patrick was with Screetch’s girlfriend. That’s why she was busy. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jasonremy1627]

Patrick was getting busy with Screech's girlfriend. That's why she didn't want him to come over.

[@kivipov]

No waaay that's insane! Makes more sense now :/
