Loving your reactions, if your interested in the making of the video there was a really good behind the scenes video from Wolf Johnson, Your ADHD brain will enjoy watching ren and sam's creation methods. Also Andrew Llyod Weber tweeted about this video as well, commenting on the storytelling

This video won several awards...best video, best director etc

[@GhostWatcher2024]

As The Dreading It Podcast likes to say about Ren.... in most of his videos... 1. He's walking somewhere. 2. He's compounding a fable.

[@GhostWatcher2024]

"Money Ties" is excellent as a follow-on

[@lissacake]

“Rain, rain, rain, rain, a storm it comes our way…” it took me forever to make the connection between that line and the rain at the end of this video. Man is a genius.

[@tomvondeek]

The thing is, look at rens life, rens real life videos and reels. the dude has been active on social media for years- and most of his friends grew as artists with him. ren doing a broadway show wouldn't be nearly the same as him producing a video with sam - a childhood friend. and the actor of kujo was the bass player in message in a bottle. he has his peeps he trusts with his life and vice versa. its so beautiful.

[@SandraP3796]

If you watch Swan Song from The Big Push, you will see Ren playing a Melodica. Great reaction as always ❤

[@iamsquatty]

I'm still convinced ren swallowed a metronome when he was young, his internal musical rhythm is always perfection. I'm glad you caught the reference in kujo beat down to this one too 😁💜🥹

[@yasha.hartberg]

I love how Ren puts the musical refrain from Money Games 1 & 2 into visuals at the end of Money Game 3. He doesn't sing, "Rain, rain, rain..." but shows it instead. As always, Ren's layers have layers.

[@ReactADHD]

This one is incredible!! Join to watch the first screening.

[@rogerstarkey5390]

A word of advice.... Watch part 1 again before going live to refresh your memory, then reference what you see in part 3.

[@wickedsoul5723]

The moral of Jimmy and the cookie jar! Gotta love how Ren continuously links one song to another. References and Easter eggs galore. It really makes you listen to his songs more to try and catch them all. Seen so many reactions now I'm sure I have seen or read about most of them and yet still finding new stuff to notice.

[@ReactADHD]

he is amazing!

[@louisehawkins6059]

Loved watching your reaction! It brought back the memory of when I first watched it 😁 If you want to see more music on the keys ... react to 'for Joe'. Emotional, beautiful!! Keep up the great reactions 👍🏻

[@lysfleming3331]

Only one transition when he's wheeled in front of the strings. He needed to move the mic due to the rain.

[@mikesimpson1866]

And because the water part was a major risk. If there was an issue and the suit got wet they would have had to redo the entire video on a separate day. Knox talks about it being a few thousand pound custom suit so they only had the one. Once it got wet they would need a day to dry it. The rain went mostly right except for the player on. The far left getting wet. She was a real trooper to not flinch or do anything to ruin the shot trying to protect her instrument. Your statement is still valid about the mic.

[@sharis9095]

There were 2 shots. Before the strings and after. They had to break because Ren had to move the mic from the jacket to tie (and waterproof it). There may have been 1 at the mirror - seems to be contested. I don't think it matters - 1 or 2 or 5, it's just brilliant.

[@Klj768]

I think Ren is only able to convey these important messages because he is an independent artist. I doubt any major label would allow him to release anything meaningful like this. Enjoyed your reaction, your enthusiasm is contagious. Laughed earlier on too watching your wife’s pov.

[@ReactADHD]

Well said! hahaha me too!

[@kbmcw70]

Love your reactions just binged watched your last 17 videos. Great commentary 👍😊👍❤️

@Ren is a master of the silence and he leaves you waiting for more - with the way he (doesn't) end it

[@brucem7004]

With your first Ren reaction I suggested to you that your concept of what constitutes genius would have started to change. To me, Money Game 3 marks a new threshold of musical genius. I enjoyed your reaction

[@ReactADHD]

Thanks for the idea!

[@alexandrafossey9267]

Here you go on an awarded masterpiece, have you fastened your seatbelt ? This is jaw dropping ! Can't exactly remember what Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sinead O'Connor wrote about Ren, but they both acknowledged him as a great inspiring artist opening new perspectives.

[@jacqui114]

😅😂 love it ❤❤❤

[@sharis9095]

So I've seen posts the ALW comment wasn't real but it looked legit to me, it said Ren "is one of the most unique songwriters and storytellers I've seen in recent times. Hope to see this album at number one." I know the Sinead O'Connor's was legit because it was reposted by Ren. It said "Holy motherfucking SHIT! Someone just showed me this at the weekend. This archangel from like, twelfth heaven or somewhere, has only gone and made the entire history of songwriting and performing look like a three year old's birthday party at Burger King." It's high praise, but well deserved.

[@ant1010]

Ren said he treats money like clay,the more available the better stuff you can create, as an example he said money game pt1 cost about £500 to produce, pt3 cost about £25,000,and rightly won awards. Great reaction as always.

[@ReactADHD]

Thanks for the info - can see where the money went!

[@jacqui114]

What a phanonamol young man . Genius while suffering in pain (health wise ) Ren , corigrapthed , Directed , wrote the tune , wrote the words, produced, all the camera work was done from his Independent team. Get well soon Ren 🙏

[@nicolefagala3270]

Hell! I been on this journey for 2 years! I even introduced it to my students in USA. Thought provoking always. He is a brilliant mind. And No! I have yet to see something he can not do well. Correction, he can not play Basketball😂❤!

[@ReactADHD]

Amazing!

[@Dr.Brummel]

Is there anything this guy can't do? I read a great commetn somewhere: If Ren were to take off from the ground and fly, everyone would just say, "Of course he can fly. And better than most birds, of course." 😀 There are two great hidden references to the other parts: The melody hummed in part 1 is played by the violins. And of course the chorus "rain, rain, rain" shown without words. There are two great behind the scenes videos by Wolf Johnson. I guess you'll like "ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS - Defining success" by Ren.

[@AnitaTsenova]

@@Dr.Brummel I'm waiting for the reaction to the One million subscribers video also! It will be great 👍

[@AndrewJonesMcGuire]

I'm sure that other people will comment too - to answer your questions. But the 2 main things to know. 1) There was a single cut - when the camera went behind the wheelchair, and it was required for technical reasons, partly because they had to move the mic to his tie as he takes his jacket off and puts it on the table, but also the mic needed to be waterproofed because of the rain ("oh rain, rain, rain, a storm it comes our way") and 2) I don't know how many takes it took, BUT they had a single day to shoot it, and because of the length of time it would take for the floor to dry and his suit to dry - they only had one shot at the final part. I think he's up to 4 awards for this video at this point. If you want to see Ren play piano - and somehow still make you FEEL without ever saying a single word the whole time - Mackay, it's such a stunning performance. Oh and as for a broadway show - his hope, is a Netflix show, something where he can tell stories in the vein of this and Jenny, Screech and Violet's tales. But sadly - he has to get well first.

Rain, rain, rain...🎶🎶 😘

[@rogerstarkey5390]

As I mentioned earlier, NOW, If you watch part 1 again and hear the line "Turns a Saint into a Sinner, a Child into a Killer..." you realise you just met Jimmy. Then, the parallel of the Rain and the Storm in both, in part 1, "The Establishment" (Ren) is unable to subdue the population, loses the protection (the Poncho) realises the situation, and as a consequence "Burns" (also confirmed by the "Number 10 Downing Street" line in 2)..... Then we see the parallel with Jimmy returning unprotected during his own storm, with no way out... and a similar consequence. . And they were released 4 years apart, were they written at the same time, or was part 1 even MORE impressive as a seed for 2 and 3?

[@ReactADHD]

That's a fascinating analysis! The connections between the characters and themes really deepen the story. It’s interesting to think about how the creators may have structured the narrative across the different parts.

[@bdlbbdlb1]

Great reaction!

[@RENegadeMaster77]

Well done that man,you well and truly nailed it once again,i'd recommend his one and only tv performance(to date) of Money Game Pt 2 on the Sky Arts Awards from a few weeks ago,very reaction worthy.Also,of his non-musical vid's, if you haven't already watched it,the video he did when he hit one millions subscribers,called "One Million Subscribers - Defining Success" is also worth doing a reaction to.Particularly looking forward to Animal Flow too,as you clearly know your films(like me)so that will be interesting😄

Yay! Was so excited for you to watch this one Ollie! Phenomenal reaction and insight as always 😊 Also theres only one cut, and its when they went behind the wheelchair, only because they only had one shot at getting it right with the rain. His whole team is amazing on this! Knox Hill was there too haha. Theres an amazing behind the scenes video that Wolf Johnson did (i think i spelt it right).

[@ReactADHD]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It really was a phenomenal project, and the behind-the-scenes work adds so much to the experience. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@kevingallant8073]

Watch it again... and again... you will pick up on so many things. The strings playing the hummed Melody from money game 1 & 2. Shifting business to arms as he ducks underneath two arms handshaking. The choreography is beautiful.

[@ReactADHD]

Thanks for the advice!

[@Melly01]

​@ReactADHD Yes, listen to the violin right around the time he begins the part about Jimmy and thr cookie jar and you'll pick up the refrain from 1&2. Haunting.

[@AMYWHITE-gt7be]

I was so looking forward to seeing you react to this one! It did not disappoint. I loved your genuine enjoyment! I knew you would love it! It is worth listening to with the goal of just focusing on the music. How he starts humming the original “money game” music at the beginning. How the piano gets faster and hits a frenetic pace as things get crazier in Jimmy’s life. Where the piano becomes less beautiful and more minor and discordant as things get darker. How the strings start playing the money game theme that he was humming in the beginning. The piano and strings are all telling the story at the same time as the words. Fun fact. When he gets the phone call, the spinning globe stops, just as he finds out his father is dead and his world stops. And the globe stops in South America which references the drugs and cartels. But it was all 100% coincidence. There was an interview with Sam and Ren and they said it was perfect but there was no way they could have done that without maybe paying to get the globe automated or something. Cool coincidence though! Even though the original Money game theme is referenced in the music, it is in the background and you really aren’t brought back to them the way “Rain rain rain is brought back from 1 to 2. I truly think that is what makes the last line so powerful. Of course it’s powerful because Ren says he pulls the trigger. But he sings it in the original tune and you get the connection from the other songs immediately. It takes the ending from wow! To chills.

[@ReactADHD]

I’m so glad you enjoyed my reaction! Your thoughtful observations about the music’s role in the story really enhance the experience for everyone. Thank you for taking the time to share!

Great reaction man! This one is one of REN’s best works for sure! The timing of this video, today, was a bit coincidental huh?! Lmao This one I been waiting for you to see. There is only 2 more series of videos ren has left for you! One of them is “what went wrong 1+2” this one has a video for the first and just lyric for the second but it is ren and Sam Tompkins in story mode! It’s short but good!

[@Shiroar]

Oh rain rain rain rain… The first time I saw this during the premiere I just sat in shocked silence afterwards and the only coherent thought I could think was that if Netflix doesn’t give this master storyteller his own show, they’re fools. Since then one of the things that gets me the most is the father telling a FIVE YEAR OLD to learn to be a man. No child at that age should think about anything but being a child. Far too many reactors let that part slide, but it really says so much about the toxic parenting. If you let those first words from the father properly sink in, it’s not so surprising that things only get worse from there. Unfortunately, Jimmy ends up living for his father’s approval. He hangs on his every word and follows his guidance so much that he gets completely lost when the father is no longer there. So instead of finding freedom, he spirals. And Jimmy is just an exaggerated version of all of us. It could be anyone under the money bag, blinded by greed, with the wrong guidance and pressure. Ren makes it so painfully clear that we really must instill the right values in children before it’s too late. And we all need to do better TOGETHER if we don’t want greed to destroy us all. So much wisdom, and he shares it all through clever rhymes, genius storytelling, and beautiful music. A truly special artist and one that the world needs 🐰🕳️ I doubt we will ever see a broadway show by Ren. At least not with him in it. Seems unlikely with his health issues. However, he does have plans to film a pilot to pitch to Netflix. All we know is that it will be in the same raw style as the tales. The plan has been delayed though first due to Ren accidentally making an unplanned album and now further with his health taking a dive (which has delayed the album too). But someday hopefully… Also just a little info to end this on a lighter note: there is one cut when the camera goes behind the wheelchair. Just the one. And it’s for practical reasons because Ren only had the one custom suit and could hardly make everyone involved wait for it to dry between takes 😅 And really, that section is still pretty long to have to practice and nail to perfection. The entire video is just a masterpiece in direction, coordination, and execution to fulfill a vision. No wonder Sam and Ren have won multiple awards for it.

[@ReactADHD]

Another reactor AND rapper, Knox Hill got to be there during production.... speaking of Knox Hill, he's got a song and video out featuring Ren called "Fentanyl".

[@GhostWatcher2024]

It's almost a 1 take... there is a single cut when the camera rotates behind him in the wheelchair. When you check out the "Murderer" video from Ren, try to figure out where the 2 cuts are... once you see the glitch you cant unsee it... but it's still smooth as hell to continue a difficult tracking shot. And of course the video and song itself, well, kills.

[@payntpot7623]

He and Samuel had plans for making a pitch for Netflix or similar, unfortunately, all these things go on hold whenever Ren is ill. Even when he is going through a healthy phase, he has so much he wants to achieve he is a bit like a tornado, circling around and picking up speed as he goes. Unfortunately, it all came crashing to a halt these past few months when illness took the wind from his sails again. Regardless of what all his fans want to see from Ren, he has dreams of his own which he needs to pace himself to achieve. Where next on your journey into Ren's catalogue....?

[@ReactADHD]

Looking like Money Ties!

This is basically a one take...there is only 1 cut and that is behind the wheelchair when strings are featured

Ren brought one of his filmmaking fans on board to so this and gave him all access. He did a tremendous job. You should also check out the game that Ren played with his community leading up to the premiere of this video. He had "money" hidden in a briefcase and a real life scavenger hunt that left the participant with a tough decision to make about the money at the end. It ended up with the briefcase exploding. The game ended right before the premiere. It was pretty elaborate! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnrNd2idasp3ercsi=fDeiGcqhNmHSmau3
