What do you mean?

Joseph García That means they don’t have windows in their house.
The young boy represents all those people who just woke up being caught up in a bizarre world, and you have no choice but to live in the harsh reality. Imagine being born just for you to know that there are humans who doesn't have hearts. Why can't this world be a great place to live for everyone. I hope we could still fix this mess but I know it's impossible. So we'll definitely go down, I feel terrible for all the good people who don't deserve this.
@@dhuxdjanns6008 No mate, that's not my point. I don't have anything against one being knowledgeable about things, in fact, I wish everyone would be. But I just feel really down because of the reality that you will discover as you grow up like how did it became like this? Especially when you don't have anything to do with all this cruelty and insanity. And all you could do is to feel at loss.
@@dhuxdjanns6008 Thanks a lot for your responses. I only now realize that we're all at loss, right from the beginning. But I'm still hoping for a better reality than the one that we have, for the sake of those who still could be saved.

I love how all of their masks dissolve to show that they're all just people who pretend to be monsters because they're scared
Basically Garou in OPM
They are monsters.
nope its not like that, they are just monsters inside
it's the opposite because they are monsters on the outside but scared and insecure on the inside.@@xenvvs
I think it’s quite a bit deeper than that. They aren’t pretending to be monsters, they’ve allowed the world around them to turn them, to change them into real monsters who do horrible things to others and themselves. The ending shows that deep down within that monster, still lives a good and decent human that can come forth under the right conditions.

The sadest is, that he only reached his home when he died, because in place like this, there is no home. Only after death you reach home...
True
Deep
Someone said being dead is exactly like before you were born/conceived. I dont remember it to be so "home-like", actually i remember nothing.
I think it's saying that home is where your family and friends are; maybe he didn't realize it until it was too late tho
No...u will be born again there no end till u find samsara

Honestly i thing Steve Cutts videos are usually pretentious, but something about this one. It stuck with me years after watching it the first time. I guess the combination of the visuals and the audio makes such a dizzy surreal aesthetic. The fact i come from a slavic city similar to the one shown here really helps me immerse myself in this. This honestly is a piece of art
Agreed, i dont like many of his videos but this one is definitely better in terms of its message and portrayals
In what way is "A Brief Disagreement" pretentious? Weird word choice
@@olivergilpin It’s usually a really on the nose topic that can just be summed up with modern thing bad or phone bad or whatever. If im not mistaken the brief disagreement is the one about war? It is honestly one of the better ones. Steve Cutts videos are really hit or miss. I mean yeah i see the appeal. Create cynical bleak animations fear mongering on existing issues, and profit off of the media outlets wanting to spam it everywhere and people being scared shitless

My interpretation for the ending is that the boy is not literally dead, but found that despite he still lives, he is dead inside from all the bs society put him through. And the "ghosts" are his friends or family that helped him out to see that even all the thugs are just people pushed to the limits, but he was so depressed that even people who showed basic kindness appeared like angels to him.
Regarding the "evil" silhouette at the end there, I think it's not real, it's just the mental image the boy created in his own head, it's the way he sees all people, as monsters, it's a product of his own pessimistic mind. That's why when it disintegrates, it doesn't reveal a person behind it but just... disappears. Because he now sees that people are not monsters by nature.
i thought the last person who dissapears is to show that some people are just... monsters, without hearts, their monsterous ways eating them whole
@@danielfleck8065 everybody has different interpretation of an art.
The ending is superb, the staredown and the fade away was an epic way to end it, the music fits it so well

I like to interpret that at the end there (after finding out he was dead and meeting the ghosts of those who had died through similar reasons) the ghosts, or at least on his way into the afterlife... he saw or was shown, that the scary monsters are actually people with 'dirt and corruption on them' being almost influenced or egged on by some dark entity that we saw at the end (the one who didn't change, there was clearly something special and non-human about him).... interpret this dark entity as you will, but my personal thoughts pin him as some form of pure evil (perhaps the devil?). Ah well, that's just my 2 cents. Goodnight.
Shadow Thief wow, yeah, good interpretation. I just guessed that guy was one who was unredeamable. Your idea is WAY better.
yes I strongly believe this what he was trying to say aswell.
For me it's not the devil, as some kind of supernatural being. It's the evil that remains in human nature that shows up and takes everything into a mess. It goes and comes. Never disappears completely.
@@yanellc8611 I interpret the last figure as being death, something that cant change or ever go away.
@@arkbien9303 Yeah, it fits well. The only certainty we have in life.
Steve I have to ask this .. where do you get your inspiration from.. all of the videos I’ve watched on your channel are like so true !! It first feels like “no that’s not the case , he’s exaggerating it “ but then I start realising that it’s actually true and we just ignore all this just because these things happen everyday … love your videos and the unique way in which you depict it !!!
might really be deep-dive emphasis on how he sees negative aspects of humanity
Do lots of reading, read what's happening around the world, connect the dots and you'll find that it all points to one direction. The upper echelons want us sick and weak. The world is suffering from a demonic illness and the ones that shine brightly are kicked down. Try being that person in the city, they'll clown and attempt to exploit you. But keep being true to yourself and observe the world around you, it all starts to fall in place once you look for the truth. Start from within and view from within
@@ipassingthrough you know who runs the world, who the elites are. I can't say thier name here. But you know who. Not a lot of places left safe from them.

Did you notice how the homeless man has also had normal eyes like the boy? Eyes are often seen as a mirror of your soul, so while most people where soulless, this kid and this man weren't. Maybe the end represents that together we can make this world "soulfull" again, but thats just a guess
8 years ago, that's how I found about UNKLE, thanks Steve!

True very true
No it's too late.
disagree. human nature is evil. this world is full of selfishness and violence. one can say there are hope and beauty - excuses of liars.
No,we can't.Humanity and Earth as a whole is on the FasTrack to destruction,and corporations have so through a control upon society that the only real choice is to become another consumer.Case and point:You watched this video on CZcams a subsidiary of Google a silicon Monopoly that collaborates with the NSA to steal private information and personally steals information to give to advertisers.In other words exactly the kind of monolithic corporate entity Mr.Cutts appears to despise.Face it.Resistance is Futile.
But we won’t. As usual.
Very cool @Lee K. ´s interpretation. I think the boy symbolizes good people, people without eyes represent human weakness, greed, corruption violence and stuff. The dead kid represents the oppression of good people and the spirits represent the past, which influences better days. One day all the "evil" in the world will fade away by turning its back on us.
Muito legal o interpretativo de @Lee K.. Acho que o menino simboliza pessoas boas, pessoas sem olhos representam fraqueza humana, ganância,
O garoto morto representa a opressão das pessoas boas e os espíritos representam

wow this is actually really beautiful. we're not monsters, there are no evil persons. we are humans after all, we feel pain, anger, confusion, desperation, but also joy, happiness, trust, love.
You'd be mistaken quite severely. We are just common pack hunters with above average intelligence. And there is a monster within all of us, but there is also some people who truly are just evil. You better accept it or you'll be their prey.
Hm you both have a point.

YouuaBitchhh AsssHoeee I think you got the wrong message...
This is a message about gang violence

Average london streets at night
Underneath each monster, there lives a human being.
Tim Muir not the gun... the gun doesn’t pull the trigger... and people have many other ways to be monsters, with their words, their actions, their things...not only to others but to themselves. Usually habits or ways of being that they picked up from their parents or so on. Society today is very strange and capable of turning the brightest of people into mentally unstable wrecks or junkies.
It’s not the guns that make them monsters it’s their selves
Someone probably already said this but im going to say it again. I think the light at the end is the sun... and so its like daytime. So the artist wants to say that those bad people can be 2 sided. They seem normal at daytime but in reality they are really bad people. Idk. Just postin this
Nin Ja Turtle this video can have many meaning so there is really no telling. Only the creator knows the message he's trying to give.
Honestly the creator himself could give multiple meanings to the video, not just one.
@@nka8857 The creator doesn' t know the really message. Everyone Can understand this video as his mind catch It, There isn' t a really message unique.
I thought it was the other way around. And the light is not the sun, but rather representing some form of wisdom or knowledge. The same way as you say "it shines light on the murder" for example meaning it shows you whats going on. Here it just means that when you understand why everyone is acting as they do you realize that they are not monsters, but normal people just like you. Only this one guy at the end doesn't seem to hol to the same standard. He might represent the pure evil part of society.
He died so he’s in the spirit world. It could mean that death is only the beginning 🤷🏽♂️
These visuals are so amazing again Steve, big respect. Also the combo with that hip hop beat, the criticismn on society, which is getting more and more cold blooded.Simply great work.
1:07 my guy literally manifesting beer bottles from his chest. Respect 😔✊
Im terrified. Partly because of the animation and the other part is because this is our world.
Madeleine Martinez Wrong.......this is your world.
Who cares
@TheGhost Overly exaggerated animation just means the truth shown in a single video. Like it or not this happens everyday, in every country, every city, and everyone lives. Don't second guess the evil that exist, you'll only become naive enough to believe it won't happen to you.
Justin L. This doesn't happen everywhere.
John Cronin You cant pretend like this stuff doesn't happen just because you don't experience it first hand. This is THE world. Doesn't mean there isn't great things about this world either though.

this video is almost addicting to me
it somehow comforts me
it depicts reality as it is without lying
and it has a happy ending
Why doesn't anyone talk about how the last person faded away completely?
I think the what the video's trying to get at is that under almost every sick person there's a real human being, but some people cannot be helped, that's why the last person faded away completely, because some people are true monsters
Rachel H Ah thank you. I had the same idea in mind. I just thought it was weird that no one was talking about it.
No problem :) i also think it's pretty odd, considering its such a climax in the video.
You mean the last guy he saw, I thought that was death as it didn't fade like the others

At the end - the exchanging of feelings
In the end, we are all so the same - vulnerable, afraid, needy. Buried under masks and facades - looking for security and the feeling of being at home. How much evil in the world is unnecessary - because it arises solely from our fears?
Nice quote dude 👍👍
This is reality. We carry the burden for the corrupt. We live in practical poverty, on streets stricken with violence. While the rich live in mansions sipping champagne with politicians.
Yep. All these shot home cities are run by Demoncrats who only want your vote.

Evils of society, violence, corrupt politicians, evil buisnessmen, drug addicts etc are all potrayed here. He dies and his soul is freed by the help of other benevolent souls. It helps unveil the true good nature of people which is deep inside but long forgotten. But not everyone has an inner good soul shown in the very end ( my view )
Yeah
Well said Myra
Myra G the people turn violent because they have no other way. Get rid of the Capitalist, you get rid of the poverty. Get rid of the poverty, you get rid of the violence and drugs.

well, what i can tell about the video is that in the night sort of our "inner demons" come out, and sadly this guy encountered a group of them. I can really tell why the ghosts clear everyones demons, but as they get wiped out you can see they are people too, with problems, feelings, etc. And i will asume that the last "demon" was the character's one. Since he found peace now, he had a last glance to his devilish side.

I find it amazing how Steve Cutts has such a different point of view of the world.
Как жаль ,что политики это понимают.What a pity that politicians do not understand this! They care only about their power and do not care about the people. Any nationality!
We are so lost that we don't know who we are.
that was just full of so much meaning without a word needed to be said
This is our future. If this is how our world continues, it is just hard that no one else sees, and thinks that everything is fine because in your generation you don't have to worry about it.
For us to start living, the "socially-smudged self" has to die first, and unfortunately that is not something a lot of us can experience in our lifetime. Watching this clip literally gives me the chills. Steve's videos are perfectly provocative reminders of the society in which we live in
