Thanks for posting that, ChesterB (assuming that it's true). Before reading that, though, like others I had assumed it was about mortality in general, but same general theme.

The video was different - I like that. I appreciated its altered approach. The angles were slightly unsettling, almost claustrophobic - and I think intentionally so. Vasa's comment was similar to my thinking. To add to it (or offer a slightly different) interpretation on the video, I interpreted it as being purposely confining as to symbolize the narrow-mindedness of much of society's dreams of immortality (or any particular thing that people tend to believe blindly), as well as symbolizing the reality that our world gets smaller as we near the end. Quite sobering, but true.

My Interpretation
