As a kid that was put into private school, piano lessons, academic pressure, into corporate business early... This hits home way too hard. The metaphor of realizing a taste of wealth, then failing or hitting a wall, then thinking about what's important and making that fork-in-the-road equate to a trigger. Do you continue or deviate. Absolute art. Absolute brilliance.

imagine Rens utopia vision where humans worked together for the benefit of all rather than individuals looking out for themselves, maybe if we ever reach that particular goal, a switch will be pulled and the remaining massive % of the human brain that we cant ever access will become available to us, imagine what the human race could accomplish when that happens ? ...hopefully we all survive the cliff edge that the world is hanging off just now

All the people who have love and hope and faith and trust, that good will prevail if we just stick together.... I want to go to there. #renegades

That was definitely Ren in the countdown. Aside from his singing that way of playing the guitar and his bracelets are clearly visible. You absolutely have to look at Knox Hills' reaction to see some behind the scenes shots and how they set the lights. Aaand... As usual, but even more than usual, Ren is a great actor.

A brilliant masterpiece. I can't believe I am lucky enough to be here to witness Rens brilliant mind and talent. I am just blown away!

I just realize when they made the camera roll around when he spins the globe he reaches up and messes up his tie so he looks disheveled. Perfection!!

Just saw some behind the scenes clips on Knox Hills reaction, and I think they used a Arri Trinity steadycam/gimbal (or something similar to that). It's a game changer and can produce some really nice choreographed steadycam shots like seen in this video. The magic is, that the head on the steadycam itself is a motorized gimbal and can be controlled by an assistant camera operator standing at a monitor, who then takes care of fine tuning framing or does those nice 360° turns. The Trinity has been used a lot in the movie "1917", which is famous for the long continous takes.

I watched Ren's interview with Knox and his Livestream. There's only one hidden cut in the shot of "Jimmy" in the wheelchair because they needed to move the lapel mic so he could remove the jacket. The rest is one shot. Brilliant.

Great reaction, again! I love the technical breakdowns you do. It's a different perspective from all other reactors. Ren said, in his live stream after the premiere, that there is one cut. The cut is when the camera passes behind the wheelchair. They planned for that cut, because they only had one shot at the water. Such a great artwork. This is not a song. It's a one-man-show! What a message!

Just knew how excited you would be watching this. It is amazing.

Joe E with genuine amazement at what he was seeing and hearing. Great work brother.

I don't think this had anything to do with Jenny and Screech? This was the story of how a rich man with political and corrupt power got to where he was. How all of us are caught up in the same cycle of striving for wealth, striving to be better than our peers instead of working to build community and connection with each other and all that resides on this planet and the planet itself. We live in self made isolation as we continue to always want more. We turn to drugs and alchohol instead of each other. We destroy rather than build and we lose ourselves in the process of that destruction.

After watching that I had to come straight here to see your reaction as I know you gonna love this filmmaking

Brautiful reaction❤ Ren said they had to make a cut when the wheelchair was turning before the rain bcs they only had one suit and couldnt risk ruining the entire shoot if that part with the water didnt work out.

Love how completely captured and invested you are in the art that you’re watching! You have a true appreciation for what’s before you.

Love your reaction. The camera work, lighting, composition ect is so insanely good. Ideas and execution flawless. Then you have the story, music and Ren. Just all another level.

THIS is the reaction we all came for! ❤ You catching flies with your mouth open throughout the video just was a picture of my own face when i watched the premier! Just shocked and speechless with awestruck amazement! And such truth in the beauty. 45 ... the number of "mine mine gimme" in the US.... our 45 embarrassment. But yeah, Jimmy had so many chances to take a different path and help the world, but he constantly chose the greedy path. Trying to get his daddy's approval and then his dad died with no closure to that constant seeking. So he was stuck on that path forever grasping for that unattainable goal... spinning out until the life changing injury showed him the truth. Five years of brooding on his wasted life, following the "code" of the "land of the free" and all it got him was a lot of things. Lonely empty things and nothing but a broken body. Then He pressed the trigger. Our way of living, grasping for power and money (that isn't even real it's all a construct of our own device) and trying to grab everything we can get, whether we need it or not, always stepping on ppl just to get the biggest piece of the pie... even when we aren't hungry. It's suicide in the end. Humanity could be beautiful. We could be a community, working living in a harmonious environment. But we choose parasitic suicide. And maybe we don't deserve to survive. We keep choosing dystopia over utopia. Ren is a genius and i hope ppl hear what he's saying and take it to heart. Great reaction! ❤
