Hello, this time, I’ll be surprisingly writing about SHINee’s new MV “VIEW”. At first when I watched and listened to the MV, I just laughed it off, saying ‘It was a kidnapping, fuhuu, funny…!’ but then I realized something more than kidnapping pretty boys within the MV.
Firstly,
I found that Onew is so handsome, hahahah. No kidding!
Secondly,
I believe many of us have already realized that there are changes of colors on
the scenes. In the very first scene, the MV is shown in a monochrome one when
SHINee is told to get out from the place where might they have their concert or
anything like that. Then appeared a colorful scene where there is a girl in
white holding a robber mask walking. The next that’s to get appeared is Minho
(followed by the rest of SHINee) in a still-monochrome-scene. Next second,
Minho appears again in a total colorful frame though it is dominated with the
blue color one. After that, the boys are captured getting in the car in the
monochrome scene (again) before Taemin appears to start the song –in an
already-colored-scene.
Minho
appears again while sitting in the car when the girl with the robber mask gets
close towards him. It is when we can see how blue his eyes color is actually.
It has the vibe that the scene has been created to be so blue, as Minho also
wears blue stripped suit. The girl whispers something towards his ear as the monochrome
scene gets in the screen again unveiling the kidnapping scene that happens on
the boys.
Without
knowing what happens, the boys have woken up in the middle of nowhere with the
foreign girls guiding them. As the other boys know nothing at all, Minho has
actually realized what happens towards them. Yes, as he is the one who has been
informed by the pretty kidnapper leader. When they walk follow the girls
towards the deep of the wood, and when one of the girl look around to see them,
or maybe towards Minho, Minho has been captured on the camera having a clear
vision and doesn’t look confused at all. He is as if following the girl, just
curious with what will happen after this. That is not the wondering eyes of
lost puppies, but just a normal curious expression. It is totally different
expression that has been shown by the rest of the boys, wondering around in a
total confusion, knowing nothing.
The
rest of the MV telling us, the spectators, how SHINee having fun of being
kidnapped as they see, feel, experience, and meet new things and persons. They enjoy
the free time offered by the strangers as they may have been so tired of being
busy all the time and do not have time to do bizarre things.
Thirdly,
just like how I elaborate I have shown you that the things which I found
intriguing and interesting in this MV are the changing colors scenes. I don’t
know why but I found them actually very pretty and simply harmonious. They have
very significant function in the MV –the movement from monochrome ones to the
colorful ones.
In
this MV, SHINee has gotten the roles of being a group of dull person, whose
life does not have color. It is like they have hit their boredom despite of
they are being showered with the spotlight. While, the foreign girls are a
group of bright persons who do everything they want to do, for instance
kidnapping the boys. Can you imagine a group of fan-girls kidnapping the boys?
Isn’t that crazy? But, that’s how crazy life usually. Craziness is a common
thing to happen, and so this is no weird at all.
As
the scene shows the colorful one, we can see Minho’s blue eyes. The color of
these eyes has left deep impression in me that being one of the reasons why I
decide to write this review. Why only Minho being shown in a specific scene
with his eyes looking through the camera in a place like a wood? Then he is
portrayed meeting with the girl who whispering on to him…?
Correct!
Minho
in this MV is the male lead. Although SHINee members are all here, they are
just the male lead’s friends. Male lead’s friends aren’t important? No way.
They are important of course. They are the part of the male lead’s life, the
same exact dull and sad persons.
Thus,
no wonder the camera has been focused more on Minho –with his blue color eyes.
I feel intrigued by the color so I start to search the meaning of blue or blue
eyes. And, I found some which I believe suitable to apply in the MV story.
Blue
eyes have been believed by many people as the “eternal youth” since when an
infant was born in the world, s/he will sometimes has the blue eyes though will
change to the other colors after two weeks or more. In addition, it has also
been stated that the blue eyes owner will usually be calm and very peaceful,
while it is also said to represent knowledge.
With
the way how Minho expresses himself within the MV I can see that he is
portrayed as calm and peaceful person that holds an “eternal youth” inside him.
If he does not have the eternal youth and the calm personality, he won’t ever
let the girl to bring him and his friends to some foreign places. But, he has
them within his nature so the venture towards the colorful world is possible.
Blue
is also said as the symbol of sadness or depression. So, it has dual meaning. It
can represent Minho (and SHINee) as the sad persons and also as those who still
keep their youth within them.
People
no matter how blue they are actually have urged enjoying the world the way they
want. It’s just that they can’t do it. So, why can’t we be like the SHINee-kidnapping-girls
who put colors towards others? Be your friends, families, strangers, or anyone
you want to? No one ever
wants to be dull, but let’s understand, as everyone has their own situations.
Very ---- beautiful ---- view !!
