• Comments: Over all this video is just supposed to be something fun to watch. However for those wanting to decode any hidden messages or meanings, I've included that all below.
  
  The story with this video is quite simple to understand once you get around the abstract bits.
  
  Everything starts in a dark war-torn city where Dunan (the main character) is engaged in a battle with a group of monstrous yet humanoid soldiers.
  Half way through, the action is disrupted but she does not known why. Finally after being cornered and confronted with her death in a somewhat disturbing manor, she is frightened to consciousness. It's this moment when she realizes that everything was just a dream. Though a little disturbed, she accepts this and goes on with her life as usual.
  
  I never actually set out to make a statement, however after watching this several times here is what I came up with...
  As for a deeper meaning to the video, it seems to be an allegory of how two places can be so contradictory at the same time, and how easy it is for that utopian society to plunge into the darkness of war and destruction. Those who simply dismiss that fact, and continue living in their luxury are indeed living in a "Fools Paradise".
