Has been looping the MV these few days after it was released, and something has been urging me to type a blog entry about it. But I didn't want this blog entry to be just be telling you guys that the MV is awesome blah blah. So I went to loop the MV to try to discover little details that I'd probably missed.
(I think it looks better in full screen. This is way too small in my opinion.)
Hmm. So the MV shows the difference during the relationship and after the relationship ends. And how they try to put up a strong front (heheh that's the song title in English) but still breaking down in the end. Or putting up a strong front to try to maintain the relationship but still failing in the end. Whichever way you see it lah.
To me, Carrie is the one that tries to 逞强 after she broke up with the guy. Which explains her acting as if nothing happened when she saw Diya and the guy playing around (which probably reminded her of the times when she also did similar things with her ex-boyfriend), and when she saw her ex-boyfriend with another girl. And breaking down after they left the cafe because she couldn't continue to 逞强 anymore.
And Diya is the one who tries to 逞强 to keep up the relationship. To try to maintain it for as long as possible despite knowing that it won't keep up for long. Which is why she emo-ed in the bathroom just after happily brushing teeth with the guy. So when the guy officially asks for a break up with her, and reality (that the guy really doesn't love her anymore) hit her hard on the face, she breaks down because her attempt to 逞强 and keep up the relationship failed terribly.
Oh and I like the scenes where Diya and Carrie were thinking about the memories they had with their boyfriend before they broke up. The one where Diya looks at the instant photos she took with the guy and where Carrie looks at her birthday card that her boyfriend wrote for her. (It did take me some time to figure out those Chinese characters.)
The card writes:
And not forgetting the awesome emo scenes where Diya brushes her teeth alone and Carrie sits in the bathtub alone. And the both of them breaking down. In the bathroom and behind the cafe counter. :'(爱你不敢说会到永远，但至少会到老！生日快乐！
I don't really know why but my mind has also been telling me that there is probably a significance of the strawberry cakes that appeared in the MV. And again after looping the MV, I think it kind of represents love. Not just the love though.
The first strawberry cake that appeared was during the Diya-and-her-boyfriend-playing scene. So it's something like love shared between the two of them. (On a sidenote, the strawberry cake in that scene distracted me a little because it was bouncing (I can't find a better word for that ;p) a little on the table. Hahahah.)
The second strawberry cake is Carrie's birthday cake in the MV. So it would be something like the love given by the guy to Carrie. And it was big so it was supposed to be lots of love from the guy. (Well, before they broke up.)
The third cake (hahaha I think it's a strawberry cake even though it wasn't shown ;p) would be the one that Carrie's ex-boyfriend's girlfriend orders from her. So it's kind of like the girl replacing Carrie as the receiver of the guy's love.
The fourth strawberry cake is the one that Carrie serves to Diya after Diya's boyfriend broke up with her and left. So the cake is a representation of her pity to Diya 'cos they were both in similar situations. Not the straightforward 'I-love-you-you-love-me' kind of love but more of pity and 同病相怜ness.
Oh ya and I like the words that appeared at the start and end of the MV!
Yea so to sum it all up, the MV is shot beautifully! Love it loads!!! 请支持插班生和《人生实验课》的专辑!
PS: I'm waiting for the song to be in KBox so I can go and sing~~~~ Or is it already released?
