[@ellieangelandrews6078]

[@JasminLovesSloths]

I may be reading a little too far into this, but I love the depiction of the puppet master and the puppet. See as you follow along you see how The puppetmaster feels like he's controlling the puppet wielding it in different ways and as the dance continues you see the puppet acting strangly and moving when the puppet Master is not looking. Then the puppet Master gains back the full control but as the beat elevates, (and gets darker and more serious), the puppet actually was the master the entire time. And for the ending the puppet Master is frozen spinning as the original puppet is examining and admiring it's new possession. It's so beautifully thought out. I try to put it in a different context as Freemasonry as those who are in it believe they are welding Lucy(Satan) to do their bidding controlling it, pleasing the crowds, but everyone can see the weird movements the puppet makes when The puppetmaster isn't looking. How The puppetmaster never had the control. How dark it truly is. And how the beat really goes in as she takes control. Her facial expressions feel more powerful. The music feels like it was meant to be heard this way. Watching it unfold you're in awe. I'm sorry I know I'm weird...lol I'll leave now

[@kamranuzzaman8271]

[@mohammadjahanbakhsh7335]

I watched this 1000 of times, and I wanted to write my understanding to see what you guys think of my vision. at first, Master has complete control over her body, she reacts to everything he does and follows. First @1:07 you can see a small sign that she is fighting to break free ( she shakes her hands with a little freedom but he doesn't do that) but he is still in control because @1:17 Master stands and moves her down on her knees to follow him again. it is in here that for the first time @1:21 she breaks and pulls her master down and stands above him but she still does not have control because the master does;t copy her moves (at least not fully). from here on Master's fight begins (sometimes he follows her moves but in between shows signs that he is trying something else and different moves). From @1:50 her domination begins. now master follows her but with some delay. and finally @1:57 she takes complete control, the smile that she makes shows that now she knows that the job is done ( I absolutely love that smile, so freaky :D ). @2:10 taking over is done and now she is the master (Music changes to a whole darker tune) and in @2:12 she shows her domination by a hand gesture ordering him to follow her (In my mind some kind of celebration ) and finally at the end puts her master in the stand being completely free. that last gesture thinking of job well done is awesome. I just wanted to share my view, please tell me what do you guys think? because this dance from moves to music, Everything, in my opinion, is totally intentional and a masterpiece.

[@colonelburton8451]

This could be an allegory for the creation of cybernetics and A.I., something we control and exploit at first and we miss the first signs indicating that we are losing our grip on the chain holding the monster we created, too caught up in our daily, shitty routines, until we reach the point where we become dominated by our own creation, like the clichée of the sorcerer's apprentice, lamenting how he can no longer stop the "spirits that I called"
