MASTER OF DESIRE MV | DESIRE4

So here's my personal observations from the JiangLi parts of the MV:

Let's start with the "lollipop": we all know what the imagery is all about and this is what makes it even more insane. At first, Seeky/ Gao Tu is lying on the bed, teary eyes and all, zoned out and "eating" the "lollipop", as if he's in heat. And then it's Ocean/ Shen Wenlang "feeding" it to Seeky/ Gao Tu and he just accepts it with that dazed expression as if he could never escape it, never would want to. Because he's exactly where he always wanted to be, no matter what the circumstances maybe.

Then we have the hickeys and bruises all over his face and collarbones with Ocean/ Shen Wenlang in the backdrop: again, do I even need to elaborate. To be crass, they did it pretty rough ajdjdh. But what makes this so toxic, so beautiful is Seeky/ Gao Tu not even fighting against it, just taking it helplessly (and willingly). The still dazed out, heat drunk expression with Ocean/ Shen Wenlang smirking at the back because he knows he finally caught, conquered, possessed his most beloved prey.

Which brings us to the next point.

Ocean/ Wenlang shooting at Seeky/ Gao Tu with bow adorned with obsidian feathers: he's "hunting down" his prey, his helpless little rabbit, like the wolf he is. He's doing it with a single minded, dark focus till he has exactly what he has always wanted - his most beloved prey. He knows where to strike, when to strike and he knows that his prey won't be able to escape. This could also be treated as a metaphor for the night where Gao Tu's heat triggered Wenlang's rut because of their almost 100% compatibility, how Wenlang lost his mind and didn't stop until we had always desired deep down. And this is applicable to even after Gao Tu ran away. Wenlang didn't stop looking until he finally had Gao Tu back. And he didn't let go after that.

All of this definitely adds to their powerplay dynamics so deliciously.

Well, there are so many other scenes from the MV like the one where Ocean/ Shen Wenlang is washing his hands, Gao Tu being almost thrown down on the bed and so many more. But my laptop would run out of space if I tried to capture them all because there's not a single frame of this masterpiece for an MV which isn't absolutely delicious and beautiful and toxic.

So please please GO STREAM THE MV, IT IS VERY TOXIC, HAS BONDAGE AND HICKY AND POWERPLAY AND SO KINKY. IT'S SO REVOLUTIONARY.

I want to make out with the director.
