First Attempt At Krap

Up until now I have only seen the video once and haven't read it at all. Here we go.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Not that it wasn't interesting. Let me rephrase all of that: I felt like I walked into a conversation mid-sentence and it was too late to ask for explanations. At my desperate attempt to understand what was going on, I took it upon myself to apply the little I know about movie analyzing to this video. I quickly deduced that this character was key and admired because the angle of the camera was from below so you literally looked up at him. Next I realized his face, more specifically his mouth, what he was going to say was really important because the camera fluctuated between close up and extreme close up. Lastly the different fields, or lack of, and the minimalist scenery simply emphasized the importance of what he was doing on his table.

At first I thought that he was some kind of hoarder because of all of the apparent obsessive importance this man gave to his boxes; however, this was not the case.

Life is the main topic played around with in the video. More specifically, time and details. THIS man. HIS life. HIS time. HIS details. The choice of words, so important to him that he looks it up in the dictionary and makes sure what he meant precisely in his past tape. The way it's being told, what's being told ... Completely sure that he no longer feels the need to get that time back he simply wants to revisit. By forwarding and rewinding, pausing and repeating he is almost editing his past. Questioning it, critiquing it…much like the rest of us do with our memories. This is his way of looking back on his.

Lastly, the repeating of the part in which he is with a woman and how everything under them moved which moved them "up and down — and from side to side". This suggests that this was a key part of his life. That SHE was important to him. I see this as him looking over this last perfect moment with her over and over to find out what went wrong with their relationship. (I find people do this a lot.) He states that he is now older and at this point has no chance at happiness, suggesting that she was what made him happy, and that he has no longing to be younger - to be happy - again. He doesn't want another companion. Establishing a life of solitude and silence with which comes the fadeout.
