It's time for the next part of BTS THEORIES
I analysed 4 short films in the previous videos
There are still 3 left
I hope you will like it
There are many theories and they're really interesting so... Let's start!
Let's start from the 5th short film
Reflection, Rap Monster's short movie
As always, it starts with a quote from Hermann Hesse's book - 'Demian'
The other realm, however,
overlapping half our house,
was completely different;
A loud mixture of horrendous, intriguing, frightful, mysterious things,
including slaughterhouses and prisons, drunkards and screeching fishwives,
calving cows, horses sinking to their death, tales of robberies, murders, and suicides.
When I was looking for some theories online or some particular things I could have missed while watching this short film,
something I didn't notice but someone else did
things that would be helpful in this video
I found many theories that have nothing to do with the book
They are interpreted in a completely different way
It's possible to analyse the connection between the short films and all of the previous BTS videos
And it makes sense
However, reading the book really helps
Because we can find almost all the answers in this book
Or at least most of them
And it's something I highly recommend - if any of you still didn't read the book, just do it!
We can see a storage container at the beginning of the video
It's a storage container that can make us thing about similar containers in 'I need u' MV
Or it's the same storage container which was the place where Rap Monster lived in Run
In the next scene we see Rap Monster holding an envelope
He takes out a picture of a bird from this envelope
Of course, it's a consequence of the first short film - Jungkook's one
because he put that picture into this envelope
Back then, Jungkook was Sinclair, in my opinion
because the scene was exactly like the one from the book - Sinclair sent a picture of a bird to Demian
So we can presume that Rap Monster is Demian
The next scene can also confirm that somehow. Namjoon makes a tattoo of this bird on his forearm
First of all, we can think about the Danger MV because RapMon tattooed himself there as well
Secondly, it reminds me of a scene from the book where Demian was drawing a picture of this bird in his notebook while looking at the crest
One day I saw him standing there, notebook in hand, sketching.
He was drawing the old coat of arms with the bird above our entrance.
As I stood at the window behind the curtain and watched him,
I was deeply astonished by his perceptive, cool, light-skinned face that was turned toward the coat of arms,
the face of a man, of a scientist or artist, superior and purposeful,
strangely lucid and calm, and with knowing eyes.
Rap Monster burns this picture
and it's related to the scene of Jimin burning a paper
But then he puts this burned picture into the glass of strange liquid and he drinks it
And I can show you another quote from the book
Then I thought I could dimly remember that I had burned it.
Or had this been in my dream that I burned it in the palm of my hand and swallowed the ashes?
RapMon falls after drinking this kind of... Poison, let's say
And a quote from No More Dream appears
Who do you see in the mirror?
It can mean that he drank this poison and just like the apple in the Garden of Eden, the poison filled him
This sin and evil filled him
He can't see the same person in the mirror anymore because he sees someone else
Just like Sinclair saw Demian
But I suggest looking into the whole verse of this song
What is the you that you've dreamed of?
Who do you see in the mirror? I gotta say
Go on your path Even if you live for a day
Do something Put away your weakness
The lyrics are very meaningful and they motivate
But for me, it can also be related to the book
Especially the part with your own path and living however you want to
The colors are starting to come out of Namjoon's tattoo
What's interesting - the colors are the same like the ones in Jungkook's short film
Also we can notice quotes from 'Demian' appearing on Rap Monster's forearms
The first one is about the bird and the name Abraxas
which I already mentioned a few times in the previous videos
And here is the next one:
If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself.
What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
A broken glass appears, just like in Jungkook's short film
So here we have the connection between the two of them
A writing that says "You have to survive" appears on the mirror
And we could have seen it in Prologue
But Namjoon created this writing back then
and now it appears by itself
More mirrors appear and Rap Monster doesn't want to look into them
like he feels guilty because of something
and he is not able to look into his own eyes
The mirrors suddenly break
which can symbolyze the broken soul
Tearing the soul into pieces by the sins
And we hear a phone calling
Rap Monster starts running to pick up
And we see a phone booth - the same as the one from V's short film
The phone booth is tied in chains so he cannot get inside and pick up the phone
As a result, a writing appears on the phone booth and the writing is... LIAR
It can mean that Rap Monster lied to V
Maybe he promised to help him
But he didn't pick up the phone, he didn't help him, he broke the promise
He's a liar
And he cannot look at his reflection because he feels guilty
Of course, we see Namjoon's logo
And it fuses with Jungkook's logo
I think that the previous short films were more related to Hermann Hesse's book
And the rest of them are mostly related to the previous ones
But they are interested as well so now I'll analyse the 5th one, J-Hope's MAMA
Of course, the film starts with a quote read by Rap Monster
This time it's Eva's description
Demian's mother so we already have a connection to the title
With a face that resembled her son's, timeless, ageless, and full of inner strength,
the beautiful woman smiled with dignity.
Her gaze was fulfillment,
her greeting a homecoming.
Silently I stretched my hands out to her.
The film starts in a white room which resemble a mental hospital or a padded room
It's immaculately white and immaculately clean
We see someone from the hospital filling J-Hope's medical record
And we can notice there Munchausen Syndrome
Munchausen syndrome is a feign disease, illness, or psychological trauma to draw attention, sympathy, or reassurance to themselves.
Mostly people with a personality disorder, masochism tendency or obsession have this Syndrome
We also see 'Placebo' on the medical record
A fake treatment
They give pills to the patient but they don't work because there is no reason for taking them
The patient feels better because the need of being treated in a hospital is fullfilled
It's 1 o'clock and the room is being flooded with pills
When J-Hope takes one pill,
We see a glass of pills, it's the same one as we saw in Jimin's short film
We see J-Hope's eye and a reflection
It's a reflection of a gate or something, the one on which V made a graffiti
And we see a black, dark creature which we saw earlier in V's short film
And a name Abraxas written on this creature
Everything changes suddenly and the room is smutched with a neon paint
It can be related to V making a graffiti
or to Jungkook or Rap Monster because we already saw those colors in their films
We also suddenly see J-Hope with the wings
In a blink of an eye we can notice J-Hope with wings
It can be a connection between J-Hope and Abraxas
We also see a scene of a pillow fight
We see the feathers flying everywhere
It can be related to Run MV
or to Lie where Jimin wanted to start a pillow fight but J-Hope wasn't there...
J-Hope doesn't fight too long and falls
It proves the fact that his Syndrome is neurological
So it's mostly a simulation of such symptoms like
dizziness, epilepsy-like or mental blackout
Which immediately makes us think about the scene from I need u, where J-Hope blackouts
Hoseok wakes up and the room looks a bit more normal
Or at least the colors are not neon
But there is still a colorful paint on the wall
J-Hope stands up and looks through a small window
He sees a taiga painting
The painting from Jimin's short film
He leaves the room and suddenly we find out that it was a storage container
He is now in the same room as Jimin was
We see a scene identical to the one from Lie
J-Hope looks at the painting
Those scenes, J-Hope watching the painting and Jimin watching the painting - they are identical
And then another quote appears, this time from 'I need u'
The sky is blue and the sun is shining
We can relate this quote either to the painting
or to J-Hope's mental freedom
He won, fought the disease
and he will finally the sky and the sun
However, if we look at the next verse of this song
So my tears are even more noticeable
It's becoming less optimistically
Something happens to this film because suddenly it becomes a Snickers commercial
J-Hope takes a Snickers out of his pocket and the pills fall out of it as well
He eats it
And as a result of a sudden dose of endorphines, he smiles and walks away (lol)
Of course, we can say it's because he will live a healthy life from now on
He won't take those pills anymore, he just won
The painting suddenly changes and we already saw it in V's short film
It's a mother with a child and it's signed 'Eva'
So it's probably Eva from Demian
And she was a mother so it explains the title
The logos, both of them, are worth noticing
J-Hope's symbol is the same as the card we saw in Jimin's film, the card with 'Eva' on it
V's symbol is a stigma, a mark
We have to mix them somehow
In my opinion, the only logical connection is the fact that Eva, Demian's mother,
was called a woman with a mark
So Stigma and Eva make a whole
If those two symbols fuse together, we get something that resembles the paint or graffiti
The first proof for this connection is the fact that Sinclair painted Eva, Demian's mother
Demian resembled his mother and Sinclair also saw himself at this painting
And a scene like this you can see in Jungkook's short film; if you don't know what I'm talking about, I suggest you watching previous videos
Somehow... It can make sense
Especially the paint smears
The painting just changes into a mix of colors
If you want more quotes about mother, you have to check the previous videos out because I read many of them there and there was no sense to do it again
So if you want more, just go back
Another thing worth noticing - J-Hope seems kind of lost, like he doesn't know what is happening (also - it's the right part from the short film where you can notice his wings)
He wants to get out, he tries to rip the wallpaper and make anything that will help him get out of there
He also seems possessed
We also could see this scene in WINGS trailer
Besides that, the disease we saw on the medical record,
one of its syndroms is the need of people paying attention to you
And this neon painting and what happens in this room is definitely something that catches attention
What's more, the colors from the room
they are the same as the colors from Jungkook's painting
and also from Namjoon's tattoo
and from V's graffiti
so everything makes a whole
I also thing that this video shows the result of what happened earlier
how J-Hope dealt with it and how he tries to get his life back
and get back to normality
However, as you can see, it's difficult
Also, I think that it was the hardest time for Jimin and J-Hope
because it clearly is the same mental hospital
But what would this video be without quotes from 'Demian', I think you really like them
So I found two examples for you!
I now lived within a fire of unsatisfied longing, of tense expectancy that often drove me completely wild.
I often saw the beloved apparition of my dream with a clarity greater than life, more distinct than my own hand,
spoke with it, wept before it, cursed it.
I called it mother and knelt down in front of it in tears.
I called it my beloved and had a premonition of its ripe all-fulfilling kiss.
I called it devil and whore, vampire and murderer.
Everything pointed toward vastness and space - it all pointed toward Abraxas.
But none of these dreams, none of these thoughts obeyed me,
none were at my beck and call, I could color none of them as I pleased.
They came and took me, I was ruled by them, was their vessel.
Especially the part about colors was meaningful and I hope those two quotes were useful!
These was the next two short films and I hope you liked it!
There were not so many symbols as in the previous videos
and also less connections to the book
If you liked it, I'm waiting for your comments, as always!
your theories, your opinions and things I didn't notice
There is one more short film left - Jin's Awake
See you next time!
