How was the MV alice in wonderland theme? I can't quite see it
Ok, I’m gonna say that I kinda get you because the first time I saw it I was like o.o yo bro the fuck but I kept watching it and then i got it. I’m gonna make my interpretation, you are free to add anything else if you want.
First of all, in this video, we see a frustrated exo. It seems like the team is losing the match and everyone is conflicted (we can relate this to the departure of chinese members, how they felt about that. We can see a lot of frames where they are alone having a hard time, this could relate as well, the internal battles of them when problems appear). The match seems difficult, they don’t know what to do.
We see Dr. Minseok playing with some substances and stuff. What’s interesting is this:
¿You get it? This says that 4 (00, members of EXO-M) and 6(00, members of EXO-K) are the same, the fact that they lost 2 doesn’t change that. For me, due the complications and inestability of the team, Minseok is working on something to make 4+6 = 1, to make them believe again in the meaning of “team” and “we are one” so they can leave all the bad feelings in the past and win the match, because they can surely do that.
We also see members sleeping/in bed/confused (I couldn’t find Baek’s frame sleeping but let’s just pretend he is sleeping as well). What does it says to me? Dr. Minseok found the right substance to put his plan in action, and he made all the members, including himself, drink it. So, the effects are basically dreaming about another world, different escenarios and characters.
This is where the fun begins: (based on this)[click there to see the comparative between EXO’s MV and Alice’s Movies so you’ll get better why]
Chanyeol and Sehun as The Twins.
Junmyeon as The White Queen.
Jongin as Queen of Hearts.
What’s interesting here is that I found two sequences with penetrating eyes in the mv, which belonged to Jongin (he did an amazing job being all irritable and quite aggresive, like the Queen)
¿Ain’t The Queen of Hearts the main antagonist of Disney’s adaptations? (This quite confirms the characters they portrayed) ((YAS)).
Anyways, by the end we see this sequence of scenes:
What does this mean? Dr. Minseok’s substance worked. Why? In Lewis Carroll’s book, Alice couldn’t have gotten personal growth, know what she wanted to achieve, know who and where she was and challenge herself if she didn’t meet the other characters through her journey. Each and one of them taught her something.
Alice here could be represented by Kyungsoo, but for me, Alice represents EXO. It represents how each one of them is important for the team, how they teach each other things, how they support each other, how they could have independence but by the end of the day they are together and they achieve their goals together even in tough times.
It represents the “we are one” they always talk about.
