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. 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 greedy 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 love watching people go from agreeing with the dad to realising the toxicity behind the messages the father is sending. Great reaction Ess

[@DeadlyVvenom]

For me the bag represents that society is blind and he is trying to open our eyes like in money game 1 when he drew the eyes on the mask at least thats how i see it

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Then...... WHEN "society" sees the Establishment for what it is, you get ? Revolution. The system burns and resets. Notice any similarity to what's occurring in USA? (Ren used the UK in MG2, with "Downing Street"... The symbol of the UK Establishment)

[@tomhoremans2506]

I totally agree, but I’ve seen a couple of other interpretations that make sense too. It’s Ren so I’m guessing he probably left this open for a multitude of interpretations intentionally (a bit like the pig mask). Of all the possible these are the ones that make most sense to me: 1. Blinding people as you mentioned. 2. The bags visually quite literally reference (upside down) money-bags as they typically appear in cartoons (see Simpsons clip in MG2, Donald Duck, etc) 3. The ropes around people necks symbolise slavery, people cannot escape the control that our greed driven society has us tied up in. 4. Taking the rope theme even further, you might also add a noose-reference to that one. The way the knots are tied seems to also suggest that parasitic greed has got such a tight grip on people, it’s almost a life-threatening or at least a life-long type of control… You’ll probably find lots of other possible meanings that fans have attributed to these bags/masks, and each and every one of those will have certain merits of their own. The stuff I summed up here (in no particular order btw) isn’t trying to be exhaustive by any means. I’m merely adding my own personal pick of possible interpretations I’ve read (that imo really make sense) about this particular imagery which appears to be left open to quite a lot of different interpretations. If had to choose the ‘best’ one out of those possible meanings mentioned above, I’d say that the most insightful way of trying to understand and give meaning to the bag-imagery here, would be not to exclude any. What I’m suggesting the fullest way to understanding the imagery lies in combining all possible (not nonsensical) interpretations, however still allowing more weight to individual interpretations depending on the scene (so in the eyes-drawing-scene in MG1 the blinding-interpretation would gain weight, whereas noose idea would come more in front during more suicidal scenes)… Grts from Belgium and sorry in advance for bad English ✌️

[@dreamwalklady5805]

That’s also how I’m interpreting it. Although, it’s clearer in part 1. For me, the person with the hood is all of us, playing The Game (like he’s playing the guitar) at the whims of the powerful, played by Ren. He’s in control of The Game (he has the guitarist tied up, makes stop and start when he wants). But Ren is also the bard here, he’s the teller of truth, opening people’s eyes (when Ren draws the eyes). With their eyes wide open, with knowledge of The Game, the people gain a certain amount of power. They can stop playing, making The Game collapse, self-destruct. Anyway. I’ve watched the trilogy so many time 😅 I think what I took out of it changed each time.

[@audivawalsh2983]

This one won several international awards.

[@arielbussart1305]

Why, How, Example. Brilliant!

[@KERO_on_X]

Great reaction Sir 👽

[@yilomina2047]

Such a masterpiece - kudos to the amazing videographer, Samuel Perry Falvey!

[@sejbomb]

It’s also when you watch the behind the scenes of how much goes into it. It’s insanely well executed.

[@dawnpatterson8708]

He said that they were trying to blur the lines between music and film. I think they did an AMAZING job. Thank you for doing this trilogy. What a wonderful way to start my day.

[@karak9499]

One thing I didn't see until I watched the behind the scenes video is that before Daddy talks to 5 year old Jimmy he is playing with his toys and after he is reading. Daddy's message at that point isn't "bad" but 5 years old is a little too young to put that kind of pressure on a kid ("learn to be a man"). Let kids be kids.

[@DeadlyVvenom]

Before even watching just know its gona be fire 🔥

[@VictoriaDuncan-mq7zu]

The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Thanks for the great review!

[@Lynds77]

Ess we WANT LONG VIDEOS BRUV! ❤

[@esstvgang]

@Lynds77 not according to the poll vote lol there's a reason I do that and it was 58% that said split 42% said long video so I went with the majority 🤷‍♂️

[@nickpotter1208]

@@esstvgang don't listen to polls REN is special......... 😵

[@rogerstarkey5390]

If you go back to MG1... You have... The Rain, (a storm coming) with Ren as the Establishment, protected by the poncho, Coiling the rope which controls "us", as Romain, "The population", plays along and obeys instructions. . The "Saint into a Sinner, Child into a Killer" from Part 1 (Meet Jimmy) (Political interlude....) . When the people gain sight..... The "Storm" (Reckoning?) comes the way of "The Establishment" which loses protection (The poncho removed) in part 1, The Establishment "burns" (Also ref "Number 10 Downing Street" in Part 2) .... Revolution? Mirrored in part 3 as Jimmy returns home during his storm, also without protection. Jimmy takes his own way out. . Part 1: The System. Part 2: The method. Part 3: The Example. . Collectively, Genius.

[@SandraP3796]

I love how the world map stopped on Cuba.

[@Nanersbananers]

A warning about trying to please others is no way to live, especially when they are toxic af

[@aaronsebastian5156]

The sacks on the head in this actually look like those old cartoon money bags, symbolizing to me that people are trapped thinking about money.

[@NebraskaChase]

Part 3 truly is a masterpiece

[@rogerstarkey5390]

They all interlink.

[@nickpotter1208]

Thoroughly enjoyed the trilogy and your appreciation of the Welsh Bard... REN! Thank you. Much love from Wales UK.💚

[@Tricknologyinc]

10:21 Did you notice how he spun the globe and then when he picked up the phone, THE WORLD STOPPED TURNING!!!!

[@brigittemainella6412]

Loved all of the Money Game songs and enjoyed your comments/reactions to each one! 😊😊😊

[@danic9304]

yeah - mg3 is just a whole other level of genius

[@DonnaPoynton.]

Glad you enjoying Rens music but it’s a shame to see your not subscribed to him,would be nice of you to at least drop a like on his video,Thanks ❤

[@esstvgang]

@DonnaPoynton. I thought I had already done that instead I've been too busy reacting to him I totally forgot but I usually always sub to a new artist I react to with ALL notifications on so that I know when something new drops thanks for pointing that out im shocked that I got so carried away that I forgot 🙌

[@DonnaPoynton.]

@@esstvgang no problem it’s probably KZbin’s fault they do unsubscribe people all the time,sorry didn’t wanna seem rude ❤️Thank you for the reply I have watched all your Ren reactions,I have just subbed 👍🏻

[@caseyworthan4148]

Represents being blinded and then opening your eyes .

[@meggsy82]

This is a masterpiece, obviously. But after seeing it so many times, I like to pick out certain moments that make me giggle. Ren can't properly fold a suit jacket but he can load and cock a gun like he's done it a few times before and not just in rehearsal. 😂 I remember him pointing out how they didn't realize his shirt was untucked in the back until later. The BTS on this is such a great watch.

[@iamsquatty]

You know when ren says "let me tell you a story..." you're in for a good time 🥹💜

[@JonniPants]

NEVER APOLOGIZE! Great breakdown. You picked up what he was putting down, in my humble opinion. 😀💜

[@peterveste6976]

another masterpiece by our boy Ren ❤❤

[@tundiel]

Storytime with Ren is always a good time, no matter how dark the subjects. Your face at the end section was priceless. Yep. He's the GOAT of storytelling 😂😂😂

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Anyone notice the way he turned the recently emerged derogatory term of "sheep" ("sheeple") from the general usage of "You're a sheep if you cooperate with others" to "You're a sheep if you selfishly work the system for personal gain over others"? (Got a laugh from me..... Took me right back to the "Dear Mr President" section in MG1))

[@svetlanapribak3677]

Great reaction, tnx and ❤️from Renegades 💙

[@nickstocking9042]

Money, and the greed. Well is never well enough

[@melissawinstead8848]

Well I say....great reacting! You pieced it together pretty darned good!🤗 Can't wait til the next one!

[@kerrianderson2954]

Love how Ren makes everything make sense 😂

[@Lunabracco]

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your reactions! You bring some humour that I like 🇬🇧 please if you could can you do Dear God by Ren ❤

[@robingayle68]

So I see mg1 as the history of the money game; MG2 is the political side of the money game and mg3 is the individual growing up in the money game ❤ there's a BTS of this shoot by Wolf Johnson that is amazing 🤩 one version is around 40 minutes. A second version by popular demand of us Renegades is out and so worth watching even though it's like 2 and a half hours ❤ As a Renegade I recommend the long version because it's amazing to follow this journey over the course of like 2 days. So in mg3 we have: Actual rain rain rain rain rain 🌧️ the mirror pointed at himself, the saint becomes a sinner, the child becomes a killer, the actual world turns (as Jimmy's world burns: his father dies)❤️ there's more: layers and layers upon layers ❤😂 Great reaction ❤❤

[@NadineLaFrance-pf5rq]

this song is fantastic he did a amazing job ❤I love all your videos

[@lucygonzalez-zo5nz]

The meek mill reference was crazy😂😂😂lmao Great reaction , thank you

[@anthonyainsworth142]

Bro he is the best of us & the best of our future! Within the music industry as well as a human being for what I know of him as I've seen pretty much everything he has released music and other wise I hope he becomes worldwide as soon as possible so he can help and reach as many ppl with his art and his profound messages of understanding and belief in one's self.... I think he's going to be one of the biggest influences of the 21st century for music and the ppl, and I'm for one here for it!! #renrules

[@Irmelinis]

I really like your reactions to Ren 🎉🎉

[@michaelwalsh7359]

Great react man!

[@PBaka13]

MG3 is the embodiment of the chorus from MG1 and MG2 "Those who rise through distorted lies, poisoning the veins"

[@BryanRobinson-z5m]

Money itself is not the root of evil, but the Love of Money IS. Money is just a tool for easier trade, but some abuse the tool. In the 1988 movie, "They Live", staring 'Rowdy Roddy Piper', aliens have 'Cloaked' everything so humans would not discover them, but with special 'Sunglasses' people could 'See' the Truth; my point, when 'Piper' wore them, he looked at money and it was plain paper with the words "This Is Your God"; everything else had cloaked messages also. In our world today there are people that Worship money like it Was God. With messages like this song, maybe 'We Humans' will wake the 'F' up, and strive to change the ills of this world; and Only worship 'Our Creator'; however, one's Faith defines 'Him'. God Bless!

good stuff

Rens the only artist I know that every track he drops is a banger! Even eminem has loads tracks that I don't like!

[@maddmd9171]

💰 money bag faces

[@sanfordgfogg]

To me, it's an old fashioned money bag and being over the head, they can't see the money game because they are blinded by the money (bag). Thus drawing eyes, allowing sight in MG1. In MG3, everyone has money bags over their head, because everyone is part of the money game.

[@snoox27]

I agree

[@SickBoiRENegade]

❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mojowebs]

The bags on the head are money bags. We can’t see what the money is doing to us.

[@MikeyMike2503]

The sacks represent money bags.

[@yermomdotcom1]

Dood, you looked mildly embarrassed by saying harp, but now I'm thinking if Ren sees this, he's gonna go, "Fxck! A harp! I never thought of that! Get me a frickin' harp, today!" Ha!

[@nickibridges2898]

It's a money bag 💰 on their head.

[@TanyaQueen182]

at 7:45 and you're saying how you are happy for Jimmy. Just wait...

[@lillyvanpug]

6:21 136 plus ADHD. I'm pretty much fucked 😂

[@jonathanbradshaw2665]

Ess, this was one of my favourite reactions of yours to Ren. Please bro, and forgive me, I recognize that cough of yours. Whether you're smoking or vaping, please stop. I had a heart attack at 56 from smoking all my life from 16. In a way it was the best thing that ever happened because it got me off the cancer sticks. This is probably an inappropriate thing to say in a comment to you tube video, but I want to see you going for many years. Whatever the case, it's your life bro, do with it what you will.

[@srenasymons3941]

Head in the bag... Old fashioned money bags

[@danielwallace8015]

Man please do Seven Sins or Suicide by Ren! I would love seeing you go on those rides!

[@esstvgang]

We getting there don't worry

[@danielwallace8015]

@esstvgang glad you found Ren though! Dude is so different and he's good at literally everything lol

[@BryanRobinson-z5m]

I’ve received a lot of likes and hearts for the following post that I put on multiple reaction videos, but I got one reply that said, “Don't put him up on a pedestal Bryan, it helps no one, least of all Ren"; so, am I wrong for posting the following, given that this is how I believe? I’m not trying to elevate Ren to being ‘Christ Like’, just that a lot of his music is Prophetic, with messages that I think might be inspired by God. To anyone who reads this, please respond, if you will, I would like some feedback. If people really think that this might be hurting Ren in some way, then by all means, I will stop posting it. Here is the post, thank you. I've said it other reactions, and I will say it again; I Believe Ren is a Prophet. Like Prophets of old, Ren was challenged by "Our Creator" with illness and suffering to test his worthiness to bring "HIS WORD"; Ren has proven his worthiness. He speaks/sings 'Truth', bringing messages that 'Mankind' NEEDS to hear. In the song "Sound of Silence", there is a verse where they say, "The Words of the Prophets are Written on the Subway Walls, and Tenement Halls"; Ren brings the 'Word' through his music. God Bless!

[@kirsten3112]

I don't think it was money that did it to Jimmy. I think the pursuit of money is what perpetuated Jimmy's downfall. We need more people to hear Ren's music & for this to be a narrative we all understand & discuss. I really enjoy your reactions. Was a fab 3 days. Having to wait for the next video was slightly frustrating... being the constant dopamine chaser that I am. But I came back for them all! Was a great set of reactions 💖

[@MrPhoKingAwesome]

You don't have to react to it (would be awesome if you did, but it's a very long video so would make a very long reaction), but I really think you should watch the behind the scenes for this video... Ren really breaks it down and you learn a lot that you may not get even watching this a few times.

[@Balagarac]

Its a money bag on the head supposedly.
