Talk:Bendita tu luz

Request Edit on Bendita Tu Luz by Mana: Comment on Video

If I am not mistaken, this video is about helping people who are 'brain blind' (autistic) to 'see' the light. The Young Man at the beginning is sunken underwater and drowning because he is sunken within himself and cannot see the light that is above the water where the Young Woman is. The Young Woman tries to save him by dragging him up out of the water into the light but to her distress he prefers to be sunken in himself. The Young Woman then 'runs into' the Young Man at school but he doesn't see her because he is still blind to her. She sees him playing the fools with some amigos at school and still wants to help him despite his behavior to her. (You'd say she was in love with him despite his blindness.) She is then seen watching him (helping him) learn to swim instead of just sinking, that is, to function in the world of light. In a dreamlike scene she drops a hairclip on his head to wake him up and he finally is able to 'see' her in a dream, although he still doesn't respond. She catches up to him at school and hopes he will wake up but he still prefers to be blind, since he takes out a blind man's walking stick. When she finally gets him to notice her, he shows her in a dreamlike state how it is to be brain-blind so she will understand him and the world he lives in. Together they now can explore their shared world, helping each other to see what the other sees. Because he can now 'see' the world like she sees it, he can drive (function in the 'real world'), and together they are seen arriving at a party where Mana is playing, suggesting that their music also is a 'blessing' that helps him see her light and them to come together in their shared 'world of light.'

PS: I only add there are strong hints in the video/song of Dante's Vita Nuova: a Renaissance Italian poem about how Beatrice also helps Dante to see the light. Eric d. meyer (talk) 03:27, 14 March 2021 (UTC) eric d. meyer
