👉 Dimash's broken, delicately breathy voice, a simple melody with uncomplcated pop rhythm (reminiscent a bit of 'I Miss You'), loving, sad but also comforting words and haunting images... and this adorable smile from Dimash... tears flow over my smiling face. For me, the lyrics, the pop beat and the images of the video all go together very well. Dimash leaves his beloved because she has someone else. He knows that the other can become dangerous to him, but he doesn't know that his beloved is being blackmailed by this secret policeman. He thinks she's happy. Dimash assures her that everything is 'okay', he accepts and she should too. Life goes on and the pain will fade. It seems easy for him to give up his love. (pop beat, almost like a fast heartbeat) ... but you can hear the pain in Dimash's voice. He's fooling himself and her. The secret policeman, who suspects something, wants to catch Dimash. When he finally realizes that the young woman will never love him, he gives her the 'choice'. She flees with Dimash... A shot is fired... End? It leaves us stunned. What will happen? You brood and brood, but you can't get it out of your head. For whom is the glass always half full and for whom is it always half empty? ... Fascinating, clever ... great! Director Alina Veripia was blown away when she learned she was to create the story and video for Dimash's new song. Dimash also chose Alina's favorite from 4 stories: A beautiful and deep love story set in the years of Stalin's repression. This love is so deep, pure and immortal, It defies the horror, the fear, the penetrating cold and darkness of this time. The video was recorded in color but looks black and white, very dark, spookey. Only the lovers are shown in a bright, sun-drenched, warm, gold-bronze setting. These scenarios reinforce the intense feelings emanating from Dimash's breathy, delicate voice and the haunting, magical and beguiling, but also from the frightening and disturbing images. The location was St. Petersburg, appropriate to the dark year 1937 in which the video takes place. (Source and more information on Dimashnews) - Music - Igor Krutoy, *1954 in Ukrainian SSSR, singer and songwriter in Ukrainian and Honored Artist and music titan in Russia (billionaire). He came out of retirement to write songs for Dimash. The maestro and Dimash have been working together from time to time since 2018. They are friends and have a father-son relationship. - Lyrics - Igor Nikolaev, *1959, Russian singer and songwriter; Honored Artist of Russia.

The way she looked at him made me feel like he had lied to her and told her Dimash was dead..she seemed so shocked that Dimash was alive. He knew she didn't want to be with him and maybe resisted this idea less because without Dimash she doesn't care or want to live anyway. After she looks at him accusingly he kinda has this yeah yeah I know just go expression but it's full of anger ..he's bitter and a sore loser.. she's so unhappy without Dimash it's just miserable for him almost like he wanted what Dimash had..the warm happy bathed in light world..so because he knows she will never be happy with him he lets her go but there's no way in hell he will let Dimash win. It's amazing how much info that brief exchange imparted to me. How to tell a story of possibly years in just a few minutes!

Седрик, какие же интересные у вас реакции. И у вас добрые, умные глаза. Спасибо вам за Димаша. Будьте здоровы, успешны и просто счастливы.

Большое спасибо Седрик!!!!!! Мне очень нравятся Ваши очень профессиональные реакции на песни Димаша-, и особенно разбор его клипов!!!!! И мне очень нравитесь Вы- очень добрый и умный и профессионал своего дела!!!! Здоровья Вам , мира и любви желаю!!! Привет из Украины!!!!

It's still a masterpiece for me with very good actors, every thing is very well done and how much the exceptional voice of Dimash know how to send us the emotion. Thank you very much 👋👋👋💓

I really like this video, Dimash as actor is at ease ,maybe we will have the chance to see him in a long film in the future. The beautiful music is by Igor Krutoy. As usual Dimash's breathy voice is magnificent. Congratulations to the whole team for a great job !!!

Седрик благодарю вас за реакцию. Ваши слова: сила любви и сила силы, шахматная доска, очень впечатляют. Её отпустили, как вы сказали дать надежду, но конечно офицер не отпустит девушку. Мне нравятся ваши реакции, вы один из лучших реакционеров Димаша. Удачи вам!

Седрик, Вы несомненно профессионал в киноиндустрии. Мне очень понравилась Ваша реакция, а разбор клипа невероятный! Как Вы всё тонко прочувствовали и поняли! Спасибо за эту реакцию! Это теперь мой любимый клип с Димашем. Пересматриваю его уже очень много раз, и никак не насмотрюсь и не наслушаюсь!

реакция от профессионального кинематографиста оказалась самой глубокой из всех, самой впечатляющей, очень круто, спасибо

Многим не понравилась эта песня потому, что он не брал высоты и не показал весь диапазон. Но, сущность Артиста заключается в том, чтобы харизма и то, что он хочет донести людям, смысл песни коснулась их сердец. Спасибо, что сделали реакцию на эту песню, многие делают реакцию лишь на хайповые песни. Вы поняли и прочувствовали его!😍

Wow! What a beautiful description of this MV. I personally feel it’s a masterpiece in it displaying what this song OKAY is about! I absolutely love it. Now as far as Dimash’s voice, absolutely unique, and so enjoyable to listen to his tender side of vocals and yet so powerful in its expression. I love it!!!!! So enjoyed your reaction also.

Седрик, вы такой милашка. Я ждала вашу реакцию на эту песню и мини фильм с Димашем. Димаш всё пропускает через себя и здесь отлично вжился в роль. Он замечательный и красивый в кадре фильма. Благодарю Вас, за реакцию и субтитры. Привет из Казахстана🇰🇿.

Amazing reaction my friend Cedric!!...Dimash is the best male singer of the world in my opinion!!...Now I ask you: Have you seen the Best Female Singer and Performer of the World? (In my opinion)...The passion and dedication when Dimash is performing a song can only be compared with the person who has influenced him to sing leaving everything on stage: His idol, the queen, the incomparable, the Goddess: Lara Fabian...She is a lyric soprano singer and multilingual composer, with a amazing vocal range and incredible breath control, which is one of the things that Dimash admires the most about Lara...She speaks 5 languages and sings in more than 15 languages....That's why she is the inspiration for Dimash and several singers around the world...You can see on KZfaq covers of her songs made by singers of the stature of: Dimash, Diana Ankudinova, Polina Gagarina, Rimar, Forestella, Sissel Kyrkjebo, Floor Jansen, Diana Navarro, Morissette Amon, Gabriel Henrique, Katrina Velarde, Cakra Khan and others...Please react to her songs, all masterpieces, in LIVE versions, because Lara is more impressive when she sings live, so you can see why she is the idol of Dimash...Try to do it in this order and almost all songs are from the same Lara’s concert “From Lara With Love” in Montreal 1999, one of her best works: 1) Je Suis Malade (Singing in French)...2) Caruso (Singing in Italian)...3) Je T'AIME (2002 Live version in Paris Singing in French)...4) Perdere L'Amore (1999 Live version Singing in Italian)...5) Adagio (1999 Live version singing in english)...6) Broken Vow (1999 Live version singing in English)...7) You are Not From Here (1999 Live version singing in English)...8) Quédate (1999 Live version singing in Spanish)....9) Ti Amo Cosi (2019 Live version Singing a trío with Dimash and Aida Garifullina)....I hope to see you first reaction soon and if you don't mind, I'd like you to mention me as the person who recommended reacting to Lara...Here you have the link of her amazing performance of the song “Je Suis Malade”....kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m66DrM5luK3YpY0.html

Very interesting reaction--I can't tell you how much I enjoy your analyses from a director/cinematography viewpoint--you point out so many litle things I hadn't noticed that make Dimash's creations work on such a deep level.

Thank you Cedric :) I love every analysis you make of Dimash`s art :) If you`re curious : behind the scenes video shot by a friend of Dimash > search on youtube : DIMASH-ГДЕ И КАК СНИМАЛИ КЛИП НА ПЕСНЮ ОК’ЕЙ? ||BACKSTAGE (I would have posted the link, but it just won`t show up) It`s pretty cool :) Crazy Macks spent hours in the mud and snow to shoot this footage :) You can see some of their gear, the different takes etc. **warning** seeing poor Dimash with his neck, home of his gold vocal cords, bare in the cold and snow of winter, was pretty painful - that should be illegal 😱 😁

At the end of the video, you can imagine yourself how you want to end it. That's what is so great about it!! I love the song and Dimash's voice in this one. He is the best! This video is set in 1937 during the Stalinist purges. The secret police had total power. They executed millions of people--not just their political enemies, but also ethnic minorities who they considered "untrustworthy." Musicians, dancers, and artists were among them. Dimash as the hero perhaps represents both of these categories. End? It leaves us stunned. What will happen? You brood and brood, but you can't get it out of your head. For whom is the glass always half full and for whom is it always half empty? ... Fascinating, clever ... great!

As ALWAYS, an incredibly insightful and intelligent analysis of Dimash’s work. Have you seen the new clip that has been released (or leaked)? It shows the girl being ok, but Dimash being killed by that bullet? I kinda wish they had included that scene. Dimash did a fantastic acting job!!! It’s been 5.5 years since I was first exposed to Dimash. I marveled at him then and I have even more respect for him now, as an artist AND a person!!! Thanks, again, Cedric!!!

love your reactions. you understand Dimash very deeply. The video is not directly related to today's events. This is 1937, Russia. the time of mass repressions that Stalin did. People were afraid. Any person could be arrested, shot for no reason. But in a sense, this is really modern Russia. now we also have repressions, not on such a scale. but any person who opposes the authorities, against Putin, against the war, under the new law, can be arrested and imprisoned for 15 years. So it goes.

Finally, Cedric, we`ve been waiting for you to get your mittens on "Okay" 😁 I love this song, and video :) I will quote the things I read on dimashnews _ In the words of Alina Veripya (video director and writer of the script) : “This is a very beautiful and deep love story that takes place during the years of Stalin’s repressions. In this horror, in this piercing cold, in this crime, the love of two people is born, as if they did not come from this world. And they are so pure, so beautiful in their feelings, that no darkness can extinguish this light." On the question of location, the team made an unanimous decision to shoot the MV in St. Petersburg, because no other city could convey the flavor of the harsh and terrible year of > 1937. Their life and love story is invaded, and broken by NKVD (old name for KGB), representatives of the regime`s power, who could pick on you for any reason, take anything from you, throw you in jail, legally execute you, and even assassinate you, shoot you in the back. The officer represents power, so he can claim anything he wants, and he can get away with anything. It`s not about forbidden love, it`s about the attitude of people representing power in an authoritarian regime, to destroy, reduce a "world full of color" down to only "a flash in the sky". The switch back and forth between images of the happy couple and images of the girl being pestered by the NKVD officer, has the purpose of highlighting the contrast between the sun-lit beauty of good and love, and the grim-colored ugliness of evil intentions. Our hero and his girl try to accept the forced separation between them, the new "definition" of happiness under the abusive regime, but they can`t bear nonsense forever, and they try to escape it. The subject of the story is the fate of beauty, good and purity under an oppressive regime, and the self-entitlement of evil, that puts it`s brutal stamp over it, with the gunshot. The screen going black before the gunshot helps keep the focus on the attitude of evil, who doesn`t know to do anything other than hurt, successfully or not - instead of who the NKVD officer managed to hit or not. That gunshot remains ringing in the dark, making it timeless, leaving us with a bitter taste, and making it a powerful reminder of historical brutality. _______________________ what I wrote after the quote from dimashnews (Alina Veripya`s words, and the reason for choosing the location) - is my interpretation, based on Dimash`s previous use of history portrayal with his songs. ('Samaltau' - russian empire forcefully drafting young men from occupied countries to shed their blood ; 'Daididau' - poem of a kazakh poet imprisoned and executed by the soviet regime). And based on my own experience with such history, living in a country who suffered under occupation and the brutality of stalinism decades ago. (my own great-grandparents and grandparents spent time in prison for reasons from borrowing a french book under a soviet regime, to owning land earned by hard work) This is why I believe that Dimash and the team`s purpose was the bigger picture, the accent on history, and not a spy-movie type of suspense and cliff-hanger.

Спасибо Вам за Вашу содержательную,эмоциональную, профессиональную реакцию! Вы супер реакционер!!!

Great analysis! Thank you! This was a total feast for the senses! Musically and visually mesmerizing! The past brought to life highlighting what has endured for centuries. The complexity of life and love with its good and evil, despair and hope that exists for all of humanity. Beautiful production, restrained sensuality, a glimpse of the brutality of the powerful and the spirit of hope allowed to dwell in our own interpretation of the ending! Brilliantly done by all - especially the multi-talented Dimash and Alexandra Gaidar, 24, the actress who silently conveyed her emotions perfectly. Flawlessly conceived and executed! I couldn't find what the villain' actor's name was but he was perfectly cast.

Thanks for another top notch reaction Cedric - love your professional insights as you open my eyes to things I haven’t seen or noticed and I always learn something. Everything Dimash does is world class - he is remarkable in that his creative and artistic genius stretch beyond that of a singer and he takes his fans and people from all corners of the arts industry with him. That’s his generosity and legacy. 🙏🏻🇦🇺

Beautiful reaction, thank you! It's such a poignant little story, and I love the juxtaposition of the modern song with the retro video. To me it's like a whisper from the other side. The sheets are like a transition into whatever is next. Great observation that Dimash has a theme of running away with his ladylove into the unknown, wherever love takes them. He's such a romantic at heart ❤️ However, this one does have an intentional layer referring to current events. The story is set in 1937 like it says in the beginning. The time of the Great Purge in the Soviet Union, during which millions of people died, in Kazakhstan as well. These times are vividly remembered, and I don't think Dimash would choose this era purely as a setting for romance. This video was filmed 6 days before the war broke out, and the premier was going to be in early March but was postponed. Instead he chose to bring it out on the eve of the Day of Remembrance of Victims of Political Repression & Famine in Kazakhstan. Knowing this background the video & the song are so much more poignant & beautiful to me. There is so much detail & so much emotion in just three minutes, it's a little masterpiece. Bravo Dimash for telling such a story at this time 🖤❤️🖤

Cedric! Thanks so much. Beautiful reaction!!! Dimash is incredible Talented Artist 🙌

MY THEORY [edit: that I seem to have wrote a whole movie script around!] is that this isn't about Dimash's relationship with his lady at all - it's about the Captain's! How it had all started for him as part of his investigation, but over time he'd found himself genuinely falling for her, this light in the darkness of his world - and though he might have been able to convince himself for a while that her acquiescence was/could lead to something more, he knew the truth - that with every kiss, every dance, every moment they spent together, she was picturing times with Dimash - and, knowing he could never make her happy, he did the one thing he could do - he set her free... The whole gun thing I think, might have been for show - for his colleagues, the other citizens, maybe even the couple themselves? Or maybe he'd planned to or just felt he should, shoot one or both of the lovers - whichever way though, I think a knowing passed between him and Dimash at the end, before he then fired his gun into the air and returned to his car, ready to complete the paperwork for his transfer out of district...

Brazil - Very well produced clip. Dimash's whispered voice is very pleasant to hear. He's turning out to be a great actor.🤗♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷

Thanks so much for this reaction. You always help me see things I’ve missed and understand how the emotion I’m feeling has been created. Dimash’s acting ability, I believe, has been fostered all these years of training in classical singing, preparing him for opera. Of course we all know so much of his talent is innate and simply fine tuned through years of hard work. ♥️☮️🎶🇰🇿🦅🇺🇸🕊🇺🇦

Седрик огромное спасибо за субтитры и вашу реакцию на творчество Димаша! Мне очень интересна ваша реакция с кинематографической точки зрения. Да именно события в видеоклипе которые нас переносят в 30-40годы 20века немного заставляют задуматься и финал с выстрелом застают нас в расплох и недоумением. Текст песни непосредственен и не отражает точного времени. Да и само слово окей в те годы наврятле использовалось в речевом обороте среди русскоговорящих. Но понятно одно во все времена тема любви была есть и будет несмотря ни на что! Спасибо за ваше ценное мнение и оперативность реакции на такой недавно вышедший видеоклип с интригующим названием "OKAY".

There’s a video short on KZfaq of Dimash being shot.The scene was deleted from Dimash’s final OKAY video. Dimash’s acting talent is increasing dramatically and wonderful to watch.

Димаш-великолепный исполнитель и великолепный артист!!!СпасиБО за добрую эмоциональную реакцию!..💖💖💖

I learned to "listen better" from Dimash, I learned to "see better" from you.😁👍👍

The cut between police dudes hands around her neck, with Dimash lovingly kissing her neck, gets me every time. So devastating. The director gave Dimash 4 treatments and he picked this one. I love it, even though it makes me sad. Thanks for shouting out “DUTCH ANGLE”-it feels like a complete reaction from you when you just indiscriminately yell it out :)

Hello please react a video of Dimash "Omir Oter" the lyrics and the video are very interesting talks about the meaning of life.

Hi Cedric, Love your story telling of Dimash’s MV👏Love Dimash’s whispery and soft steady voice🤗

Спасибо большое за вашу реакцию! Вы очень хороший и доброжелательный, тонко чувствующий человек! С любовью из Казахстана 🇰🇿!

Спасибо большое за субтитры, за реакцию! Вас всегда интересно слушать, потому что вы объясняете кинематографические приёмы. У меня такая же реакция была на финал😁 Клип снят прекрасно, режиссёр Алина Верипя, герои - профессиональные актёры 👍 снимали в красивейшем городе мира - Санкт-Петербург, Россия 🇷🇺

Dimash no solo es un maravilloso cantante y ser humano, también resultó un genial actor, queremos verlo en una super película.

I was waiting for your reaction! Thanks for this! You are the best at such kind of analysis. And Dimash is great as always. Very relevant with what’s going on in Eurasia now.

Cedric, thank you for your (as always professional, detailed and very emotional) analysis of this beautiful clip💖 Dimash chose this script from the director's 4 proposals, and it turned out that it was also her favorite story👍 How to fit a whole wonderful story in 3 minutes, without a word, only with a whispered commentary on Dimash's song? 🤔 Managed to! It is known (from the backstage photos) that a scene was planned in which Dimash hit by a bullet falls into the arms of his beloved, but I think the final ending is better and leaves a lot of room for guesswork and imagination for Dears😁 I hope that, in addition to the next beautiful hits, Dimash will also show us his acting talent in the long film😍😋 Greetings from Poland💋🇵🇱

Gracias Cedric! Muy buena reacción a esta mini película, que nos deja con la duda... aunque hay alguna foto rondando en la que se ve a Dimash cayendo herido en los brazos de ella... habían 3 finales posibles y Dimash escogió el abierto. Un saludo y muy buenos comentarios cinematográficos, que es lo tuyo... Un saludo.

I always learn something deeper to appreciate about Dimash's videos from you! Thank you so much!

1937 Stalinist Russia with latin Samba music woven throughout, (secret Krutoy passion) you can't miss that Jobim, Mendes beat ! And it works !! Thank YOU Igor !! Dimash's sultry bossa nova voice, sepia and black and white dark Russian novel look juxtaposed, acted superbly, another brilliant Krutoy/ Dimash collaboration !! My new favorite and you can dance samba to this music ! Oh yes...

Okay, Dimash and his team succeeded again. Melody, lyric, Dimash's voice, video = all perfect

"how can I serve that (the song)" yes, you understand his artistry vision very well!! There is also a behind the scenes video, not professionally done, but it is interesting to see the filming process. A female commenter who responded to my comment wrote that he filmed the MV this way as it reflects "our difficult and tragic history". I had a hard time with the video due to my lack of understanding. And I wrote that I wish DQ wouldn't start going down this form of "entertainment" path. He released it on May 31st as that is a significant day, in his country, of remembrance for their difficult history battling for their freedom. One person said that the beginning piano is recorded and then played backward to get that affect and he believed that this technique and this song is, at least in part, inspired by a B Eilish song that uses the same technique. Brilliant analysis as always!! I REALLY love Dimash in this style, and hope he'll do more songs in this lighter singing style to be included in his full repertoire. Subject matter was hard for me especially as an American and just after the latest big mass shooting at a school......but I understand the thinking behind his choice now......

WINDSHIELD?! 🤣 And yay, you said my name correctly! 😊 Looks like the comment I tried to post during the KZfaq comments outage has disappeared, so I'll try again. Ever since I first saw this video, I could hardly wait to see your review of the visuals as well as the music. Not only is Dimash super talented, he seems to attract other very talented people into his orbit. It goes without saying that I loved Dimash's performance in this one, but the visuals also conveyed the story so well. The MV is beautiful, yet also a disturbing reminder of how history might end up repeating itself if authoritarian abuses of power are allowed to continue unchecked.

Thank you. It is an awesome MV, visually and musically from Dimash and Igor. Spoiler-alert, backstage video (not in official video)... Dimash character "goes down" in her arms... Dimash posted the backstage part in his social media.

You gave me so much perspective!!! Loved your points and angles, also shifting them on to a sort of occult message or deeper meaning is so cool that you made me see more. If I know anything about Dimash is that he always gives a transcendent message!!!! Thank u for a wonderful reaction.

También es uno de mis videos favoritos de Dimash, tan bien logrado y la música uffff, como siempre tan profesional y acertados tus comentarios, aprendemos contigo, gracias Cedric

It's always enjoyable to listen to your multi-artistic viewpoints on Dimash's projects. At first, I understood the words on the screen to be Dimash's, but after watching the 3:13 take several more times, I began to wonder if the words depict the General's sardonic twist on the meaning of "okay". 🤦🏻‍♀

Thank you Cedric. Love your expertise and observations. My thought is that Dimash got away from the evil guy before in a slick manner and that the way that Dimash looks back accessing what is going on and then ducking in that last shot, tells me that he knows how to get away from that arrogant evil man. Also, with the sheets and them running and the evil guy being confident in his power while walking slowly, tells me that he could not make that shot. Even if he hit one of them, it is very iffy that it would be a fatal shot. Dimash's character knew what he was doing, he is smart and savvy. He chose that spot with those pristine sheets hanging and moving as they ran away. He chose an advantageous route and knew where they were heading. Evil guy thinks that his power and gun is all that is needed to bring them down. No. They got away and escaped to Kazakhstan and lived and loved happily ever after :) This was filmed in St. Petersburg, Russia and the time is during Stalin's reign.

This is a brilliant reaction. You so clearly understand the emotion Dimash wanted to convey. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺

Yes, Cedric thanks for reacting to this. I’ve been waiting for your reaction. I always enjoy and love your reactions to Dimash performances ❤️❤️❤️

OK, for those who do not know love stories under the totalitarian regime of the 30s and the Russian mentality. The policeman is in love with her and forced her to be his girlfriend, but he also knows that she does not love him. But she loves Dimash and the policeman was informed that they were secretly dating and he decided to catch them together. Dimash managed to escape. The policeman understands that she will never be his. So he decided to kill Dimash. He brought her to Dimash and pretended that he was letting her go, and when she ran with Dimash, he came out and shot Dimash in the back. He used her to kill Dimash. Got it or not ? This is a dramatic intrigue, so that people draw different scenarios in their heads for another week. But you don't have to do that if you follow the lyrics. Has anyone ever wondered why the video does not match the lyrics? This is because the video shows the story before the shot, the lyrics tell about what happened after the shot. It can be concluded that Dimash left her to protect her, but the shot says the opposite. To make it more clear, I will make a more open translation of the lyrics in the chorus. (Shot) - Dimash tells her: Let it be this way, OK. I'm leaving now (leaving this world) , it is OK. You were in my destiny like a flash of light in the sky. Don't cry and do not regret. Just wipe the bitter tears from your eyes. Time will heal us. Then we will understand that the heart no longer hurts. As always, life is right, but mark my words. All this happiness happened because you loved.

The cinematography is amazing. The history of the song was amazing. I loved it Good reaction thanks

I think the girl being let go was a set up so the evil man could get Dimash. I think Dimash left to protect her but it didn't work..unless he missed!! Love the song & the video. BRAVO DIMASH!!

I think there are four options, he shoots Dimash, he shoots the girl, he misses them both, or… he shoots himself. It could really go any which way, great cliffhanger, right? I always love your attention to details that I hadn’t put attention to and yet had put the desired effect to the scene, thanks Cedric!

Yo decía cuando vendrá Cédric?y aquí estás.Esta hambirntada en 1937cusndo Lenin aterraba al país junto a sus generales y por supuesto dueños de la vida de los demás.Muy bien hecho en Stanlingrado.y a nuestro Dimash ya no le falta nada, la directora dijo que no hubo más que repetir dos tomas de algunas. La cámara lo ama y esta vez con una hermosa actriz haciendo una buena dupla.Filmada en febrero mucho frío.Hay algunos cortos explicativo del clip,te interesaran;no difieren mucho de ti.un abrazo grande de abuela Dears de Argentina.

Love your reactions to Dimash ❤️❤️❤️

I knew this was gonna be good, given your skills and knowledge. Thanks for the video. Initially, I wasn't very fond of the song (despite Dimash's great tone). I thought it a bit repetitive an low vibe. But it all makes so much sense with the lyrics and the video. It's a calm letting go. Reminds me once again that it's important not to completely rely on someone else for your own happiness. And that some experiences and people in our lives are there temporarily. Ps. The video was thrilling. 😅

Hola Cedric, muy buena reacción, muy certero en tus palabras. Y que decir de mi querido Dimash ,simplemente increíble en todo lo que hace. Dimash y Alexandra muy bien complementados ❤( parecían novios de verdad😅😁) y el otro caballero muy buen actor también(da susto su cara de malulo)😳😅😁👏👏. Saludos desde Chile🤗❤

Aunque no conozco de las tecnicas cinematograficas, este video me parece espectacular, me encanta y me emociona, tanto la interpretacion de Dimash como la historiay el espectaculo visual que brinda. Creo que como adultos estamos obsesionados con clasificar y etiquetar todo para no sentirnos fuera de control; en el caso de Dimash, se especula que si canta opera o pop, o jazz, etc, y claro, no hay forma de encajarlo en ningun estilo especifico, incluso aquellos mas permeables como genero "fusion", o "crossover " y terminos similares, no lo definen.El utiliza las tecnicas de los diferentes generos para expresarse y eso lo hace irrepetible. Un argentino llamado Gabrield, comento que los artistas en general interpretan una cancion, de un genero u otro, pero Dimash en cambio, "se interpreta a si mismo", y eso es certero y fantastico!. Somos afortunados de conocer y coincidir en esta vida a un artista como el, que ademas, es un ser humano increible.

Heyyy Cedric, thank you for watching Okay 😊 Always delightful to see your analysis and reaction. I'll need to re-watch, as i was bad and couldn't help watching it when i noticed it was out, but i should have been preparing my daughter for school instead so couldn't really concentrate as well as i would have liked to. (Yes we were there last minute X_X) So now I don't have much else to say except big thanks once again! ❣ I don't know if this could be of interest to you, to try to see their set-up etc, but there is a candid behind the scenes video about the shoot. No subtitles of course, but the auto-translation from the auto-generated Russian subtitles is actually not as bad as I expected, and gives some idea of what they are talking about. Poor Dimash, with absolute pitch, had to play that completely out of tune piano 😅kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aamng5xmu5zMj2w.html

Thanks for a very excellent review. Set in 1937 during the terror years of Stalin the MV really conveys the fear and opression and abuse of power. Unfortunately it is moore current now than when it was filmed prior to Russias "special op" in Ukraine. I am not to crazy about the song itself. Nothing wrong with Dimash vocals but the music composition never lifts for me, feels just as some loungemusic. So for me the MV really adds what the music needs. It draws me into the story, makes me emotional and makes me wonder what will happen.

Thank you for a detailed and enthusiastic reaction-analysis! I enjoy this song, very soothing, meditative. But the video I really love. A masterpiece. Every frame is so beautiful and full of meanings, the ending tragic, sublime. This happens in Stalin's repressions in 1930's. So there are very important themes besides the true love story. I see those white sheets as symbols of freedom. Dimash standing firmly in front of them - perhaps he is in opposition against the repressive regime? Could explain why the authorities were after him (when they raided the apartment). A very humane work; it reminds of those (millions of) people who suffered under the repressive rule. And still do... Interesting detail - The clip was released around the day when Kazakhstan pays honor to the victims of Repressions.

Gracias por tus comentarios,.. Ya me gustaría ver a Dimash en una película, junto a Jackie Chan,.

Gracias, no entiendo lo que dices ,pero deduzco que son elogios para el Gran Dimash, el mejor cantante del mundo,y muy buen actor. Saludos desde Chile.

Thanks Cedric, as always your professional point of view makes me learn a little more about Dimash's music videos!! There is only one thing I can criticize is that the video is so, so good and Dimash acting too, that I forgot about the song and just follow the story through the pictures😅😅, but the song and Dimash's voice are really good!! ! Saludos desde España 😘😘😘

What a WONDERFUL ANALYSIS of this video; outstanding !!👍👍👍💗💗 I also thought it was Extremely well done. Female director. The 2 stories juxtaposed were so good, and your comments regarding lighting and camera angles were so enlightening. I'm firmly convinced that we are going to see Dimash in more and more films in the next few years. He has a keen sense of emotion, and knows well how to be subtle rather than ultra-dramatic. 👌👌👌 Thanks so much; I thoroughly enjoyed it all. Will be watching you MORE....💖💖👍👍👍🙏🙏

Как всегда отличный кинематографический анализ. Thank you Cedric.

It's a shame that they decided to delete the final 46 seconds but Dimash's death scene was so well acted by him that there would have been broken hearts all around Deardom.

I love your reaction. I got to see more with your eyes so thank you. I love the video music, the song and Dimash, So amazing.

Dimash gave me Cillian Murphy vibes from Peaky Blinders, especially his cool entrance into the alley. 😍🥰😘

As always, Cedric, I greatly enjoyed your commentary about the video, and the various aspects of the filming . I am seriously delighted to hear what you have to say. I love hearing what is used and why to create the story ( things a layperson notices but doesn't notice they notice, lol) . What can we say about Dimash? A true artist, with everything top notch, class, the best of the best.

great new song, just great. The ending...................... we all felt like you did, Thanks Cedric. love all your breakdown on the how's and why's in this video. Your experience here shines through, thank you, see you soon

Thanks, Cedric!!! I love your reactions to Dimash!!! I really enjoy them! And I waited this one so much, cause I knew you have what to ‘say’!!! The MV and DIMASH… super!!! ❤️

Спасибо за реакцию, у меня тоже было чувство досады, что закончилось не понятно. Но я дала волю фантазии. Ситуация была полностью под контролем этого офицера и он позволил им уйти

Спасибо за отличную реакцию.Димаш👍💞💞💞

Estaba esperando tu reacción Cedric! Me gustan tus comentarios acerca de cómo lo filmaron! Me gusta mucho el video, la voz Dimash, las actuaciones de los artistas, en fin, me gusta todo! Gracias por reaccionar al maravilloso Dimash! 🇲🇽❤️🌹🇲🇽❤️🌹🇲🇽

I loved loved your reaction Cedric! I love this song and MV. Cinematographic beauty and enticing. Dimash sure knows how to act. Your insight filled in the blank dots for me. Thank you ❤❤

you are an actor, which is why you are going to love this video which is beautiful and Dimash's voice in this song is something that captivates you..from Chile whit love..

I was looking forward to your review of this MV, and I was not disappointed! I love your insights. 💞🦌

I always love your cinematic perspective, I have said this many times. I enjoy your explanation of use of color and camera angles. So glad to see you back with Dimash ❤️

Седрик здравствуй! Реакция была очень интересной. слушать и наблюдать твое мнение о клипе и песне классно🤗👏👍. Очень рада снова увидеть тебя. Привет из Кыргызстана

Cedric Gegel - привет из России!

I believe he is Muslim. I was curious because every time he refers to love, dreaming,or passion he portrays it as wrong or forbidden in some way.I still haven’t figured that out yet. Is it connected to religion or politics. He is so very young to be so very perfect. I know he and Igor wrote and collaborated on many of the songs,and are very close.Dimash says his dream is to unite the eastern states and America through music. He wanted first to unite young and old as you can tell with his music choices,and still bringing in some from his homeland.I think He feels done well so far in his country now he is heading for USA. He is scheduled for several cities. I think he has portrayed what war is like and we must at all costs stop it now.maybe he feels war and politics could tear lovers apart.,but he has also pulled the young ones in by having many songs they would love.when have you ever seen since Elvis the young and old enjoying the same music.

Fabulous reaction as always Cedric! Thankyou! ❤

Thank you Cedrik for your interesting, as always, analysis from the point of view of a professional actor and a filmmaker! Great reaction!

Great reaction. Love to hear your film analysis. So interesting that some people have to try and understand it all in a literal sense, and others, like you, so go with the flow and the juxapositions and the journey. Thank you. 🥰

When I first watched this mv, your end reaction was mine! I even said aloud 'Nooo!' I need to know what happened!

Cedric.. As an old DEAR I wanna thank you for your detailed explanation of cinematography in this video clip. I loved the clip but now I think it's GREAT Thanks to you. This clip leaves me with..sadness . It works

Graciassssss por reaccionar a Dimash el mejor de todos!!!! Saludos!!

Мне тоже очень понравился клип и песня! Очень интересная музыка и такой воздушный нежный голос ДИМАША просто вводят в транс, и хочется слушать и слушать.....и смотреть, разбираться в этом сложном, глубоком по смыслу и прекрасно снятом мини фильме.

As always Cedric, your astute & in depth cinematic analysis is spot on. 👌 I hadn't noticed the snow until you mentioned. 🤩

Great reaction! I was waiting for you to talk about the colors, angles, and story telling. But to see the frustration of 'nothing after the shot' was priceless! Can't wait for the next reaction! Greetings from Louisiana, USA! Cyndy

У всех такая реакция в конце😁

Love your reactions! You explain the cinematography choices so well. The things you point out wouldn't even cross my mind but make perfect sense when you say it! The ending made me mad too! Haha!!
