Naul's Memory of the wind



Upon my first exposure to the video (on Mnet) with out subtitles, I thought:
  1. the guy in the uniform was a Japanese invader. 
  2. Japan was bombing Korea. ( I thought of this only because i remember Japan having to do something with bombs. Like Hiroshima; only I switched it around and Japan was doing the bombing.
  3. The guy and his daughter were playing and the bombs started approaching. He ran with his daughter but the bombs were faster and the guy in the uniform were getting closer.
  4. A bomb came really close and the guy used his body to shield his daughter. (Not really plausible seeing as the human body is not that strong.)
  5. Then the Japanese soldier was passing by and aw the little girl and had pity on her. then he ended up liking her so he married her. (Its very illogical because he doesn't age. And I doubt the little girl would have willingly agreed to marry someone whose race, nation help bring about her fathers death.)
  6. The Soldier is sexy jumping of his horse; maybe the reason why she agreed to marry him. LOL

After watching it with subtitles:
  1. OH! The dad died saving his daughter from a bomb (still not feasible that he succeeded in shielding her from a bomb with his body alone). And shes all grown up and she is getting married and is remembering her Dad who isn't able to give her  away. she's kinda nervous to be opening her heart to another man...?
  2. The soldier is coming back from some far away place (and he's sexy especially when he's getting of his horse[that tense jaw is so smexy!!!]). but if he's coming from a far away place how did he the the girl meet? And if he lived there before shouldn't there be more of a welcome party?)
  3. All goes well and she accept the new love in her life while holding on to memories of her dearly departed father.
After that I was still curious. I felt like there was more to it. So, like every curious person whoknows how to utilize resources, I googled. I found We eat lemon's article called First Take: Naul's Memory of the wind. It really gave me a new view I cant believe I missed it! The Fish is a symbol for Christianity. Then people's posts on one of the videos for the song as such:
The man was JC who died for the us.the young girl, which represents people,
grew up and waiting for Him comming again
finally he is back and we became a bride of JC
it is hard to understand because you have to understand the bible first.
The un-burning of the paper fish refers to the resurrection of Christ soon after saving mankind by his death.
 So here is my most recent take on Naul's Memory of the wind.

  1. The first scene is Christ watching us sadly, waiting for when he can swoop in and save us.
  2. The sweet little girl  is a flash back to young humanity.
  3. The shadow raising its head is Naul
  4. The young lady is those of us who are waiting for Christ to return. 
  5. the man and the little girl are God and early humanity. God held our hand and played with us and the moment he let us out of his sight things went awry (the bombs). And then he saves us from the bombs (sin) by dying for us.
  6. the sexy young man getting of his horse is Christ back to us again with the promise of life.
  7. "The un-burning of the paper fish refers to the resurrection of Christ soon after saving mankind by his death."
I hope this did something for you! Cause writing this sure did a lot for me. ^_^
Also read we eat Lemons article.

Fangirling's blurry line

Hey bubblies. Fangirling is such a rush of adrenaline. When your "bias" appears somewhere or is recorded doing something cool or what on the ever; uber "kyaaaa" or other girly excited sound (p.s. I have actually "kyaaaaa!"ed while fangirling, lol)  Its all cool and dandy till it passes a line. That line is crossed when we follow them after spotting with a in hand pointed them recording what we aren't sure they would have liked publicized. Its like paparazzi only with guerrilla tactics. Everybody could whip out a camera, kindly ask for a signature or picture or and follow you around without your say so. Yeah, nothing bad is said. In fact, a lot of [idol]ization goes on (didja catch the pun? huhuhuhu).  But still, being filmed when you didn't intend on it can be stressful. So lets be fan-persons (boys and girls) who are respectful of the other person's feelings, bias or otherwise. Let's not trigger their fight or flight mechanisms,...
