epiphany

I watched this video earlier and totally didnt get it. Fast forward several hours and in the middle of my incline press at the gym, it hit me (the video, not that dumbell!). Suddenly the meaning of the whole video fell into place. Amazing piece of work although the song is pretty useless despite featuring Thom Yorke of Radiohead.

Things to watch out for

* the significance of the coat (especially the final scene with it in it)
* reactions of the other drivers
* his mutterings (which are in french btw)

ah,

My little padawan with the puny pectorals. I am afraid I cannot tell you what the video means. As in art or poetry, it is more important what you take out of the experience rather than what you are informed.

ps. a little clue: in what way is he different at the ending compared to the begining
