    I have two favorite moments from this short:
    The kiss, because I'm a hopeless romantic, (I just wish we were closer to them so I could see it better)
    And that moment when the sun realized that she'd burned the moon and almost pulled away from him, but he kept hold of her hand with that smile despite the burns. It was like he was saying, "I've been lonely for so long, spending a dance with you is worth the pain."

    He burned from her touch yet didn't let go of her hand. In return, she made sure he wouldn't get lost in shadows again.
    It was their love that gave him light and scars were just reminders of her presence in his life.
    So whenever he healed he waited for another chance, to be burned by his love again.
    Where else can you find such love ?

      @@k4zum4s4m4 I am sorry if you felt that way. It was never my intention to make Sun look the way you thought it did. Also I don't understand what made you feel that way. I mentioned Sun 3 times in those lines
      1st time said" In return She made sure he wouldn't get lost in shadows again " This meant she felt his unmeasurable love for her despite the pain he felt the pain here meant difficulty in their love . So she reciprocated by providing him with equal love. Yes I didn't mention her love in this line but next one makes it clearer. Also in shadows again meant he viewed himself as evil, as someone only worthy of darkness , you can see it in Moon's shadow he actually views himself as devil. Unworthy. So Sun prevented that by giving him her light. her love. Her energy.
      2nd time said "It was their love that gave him light and scars were just reminder of her presence in his life" I will break it down for you. First part of this line meant that the moon glowed because of their mutual love. It made him feel happy , that he loved sun so much and she returned it equally. It meant light represented their love for each other . Next part of that statement meant that Since her time with her was limited and they could only spend time with each other occasionally he remembered her by the scars that she left behind. Now i know scars are usually negatively put into light but for moon it was something to hold onto when they couldn't be together . They meant she was real. That their love and time existed. He would look at those scars and relive the moment they spend dancing.
      Last line says "whenever he healed he waited for another chance to be burned by his love again" This simply meant that he waited to relive beautiful moments with her. Another Dance. New set of scars didn't hurt him after all. It was letting go of her till another eclipse.
      I believe it's not just how one put's things but also how other person views it. I am sure your opinion of viewing what I wrote is your own , but that doesn't mean I put it in such a way to make sun sound Bad . I only wrote what I felt when watching that story and that was their love.

  • @anshijalali3094
    @anshijalali3094 Před 3 lety +1133

    I love the concept being that the moon loves sun so much that he would wait until the ball every time and dance with her without worrying about his scars and burns because he loves her so much. His love for her is pure and true. I was literally crying through the whole thing. This is the best short story i’ve ever seen.

  • @El-jf8fz
    @El-jf8fz Před 4 lety +428

    Part of the reason he held on was because when she realized she was hurting him she looked at her own hand in fear of what it had done, and that's the same way he looked at himself.

    • @JakeCari
      @JakeCari Před 2 lety +20

      Exactly, right before the Moon dared to ask the Sun for a dance, he was staring at his hands after he saw his shadow with the horns, probably asking himself if he really was that bad? and if he would hurt her even though he only loved her and her light. So, when it came the case that the Sun was burning Moon's skin, he accepted her light because the only one person who accepted his invitation would have started to feel the same fear he had: Being "bad" cause they hurt their loved one

    It is the dance of two eternal couple

    It is the forbidden love that is beautiful
    Even in the ever darkness and in the endless day
    They showed that their dance would rip it all
    Even the heavens darken and the hell would lit
    But even those dances would end...
    But their wake would make envious remnants
    Even moon and sun meet again in eclipse

    A beautiful animation, and I have a little fan-theory, too. The Stars fear the Moon because they think he will steal their light.

If this tale were to ever be expanded upon, that would make for an interesting plot point.

      Thanks and glad to know! Sound design was mostly a combination of stones and cave resonances, processed metallic sheens for the Sun’s presence, and basic cinematic rumbles for the cosmic dance sequence. The film was driven mostly by the score, though I originally had it overplayed with guitar and bass swells to explore (and add) orchestral tension. Unfortunately, it wasn’t used in the final cut.
      It all comes down to believability!

      @@larcovilia8792 The original story... was about how he abducted her from her mother Demeter and she was trapped in the underworld for 6 months because she ate 6 out of 12 pomegranate seeds, and her mother would grow depressed when she went to the Underworld and cause the seasons of Fall and Winter. Family ties aside- as a lot of them were considered "family" and yet they still got married and had relations with each other- it wasn't all that romantic of a story either.

But they feared the moon; that he would steal their light for his own. But he really just wanted someone to share their light so he could reflect it, for of course, he had none of his own.

    • @katerinaaqu

      Indeed but that is due to the fact that in many mythological and glossological examples the sun is masculine and the moon is feminine. In various languages the sun is masculine and the moon is feminine (especially in latin-born languages, for instance in Italian "Il sole" and "la luna"). But ironically in german the sun is feminine "Die Sonne".
      Indeed it is refreshing to see this change of roles for once.
