Simple as it's COMPLICATING

Fiona Sit - ''Better Me'' MV

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJS9IgWd0nk

This song by Fiona Sit amazed me.
Simple music video
Simple make up
Simple lyrics
Simple shooting
BUT it contains a complicated meaning inside.

it started with like two identical twins
at first, i thought they both are not related to each other
as the melody in, it reminds me like,
left girl is getting hurt from a relationship
right girl is consoling the left girl

 Left girl cried when right girl told her :
遠處海港傳來陣陣船笛
我一直飄零到被你揀起
如今望著反映窗戶玻璃
有個我陌生又熟悉
(translation on my own)
u remind me of the "past" me,
i was alone until i had met you in my life.
BUT now, i look into the reflection of the mirror,
it's me, but it's no longer the one I familiar with,
I'm not myself anymore.

Left girl look and right girl and ask the inner part of herself : can i really be a better me ?

Right girl : 

I can Smile a little more
Sing a little more
Feel a little more
全因為你 (because of you)
說好了要為幸福　一天天地練習 ( we have promised each other to live better, that's what we are practising now )
練習 Laugh a little more
Love myself a little more
要學會更加善待我自己 ( to learn how to treat myself better, and because of you, i became the BETTER ME )
為你我變成了　Better me

就是那麼神奇 (and it's so miracle )
從前的錯都有意義 ( we learned from our faults)
教我拋開所有猜疑　也許 ( to clear my doubts i doubted, and maybe )
我也美麗　值得一個奇蹟 ( i worth for a miracle )
我的眼淚會墜落 ( my tears drop )
絕不是因為懦弱 ( it's not because of being not confident )
而是感謝天讓我遇見你 
不然今天就不能　如此地有勇氣 ( i would like to thank GOD to let me could have the chance to meet you, and now i became braver )
Now I promise to you
And I can swear to you
為你我　一定加倍　珍惜*我自己 ( i learned how to love and appreciate myself)
做一個值得你　驕傲的　Better me ( to become a better me)
一個值得你　愛的Better me  (the one the you worth to be proud of )


This MV ends with a left girl smiling and right girl being so confident.




She smiles :-), because she finally realised that she could live better and to be a BETTER ME, for him
She being so confident, is because she knew she HAS TO live better to be a BETTER ME,for herself.

I would say this is a very successful MV that could bring its full meaning to its audience.

A song that named : BETTER ME, to everyone's first impression, it would be a song that singing to one person.

The director, simply to make this song into two identical twins, but it actually also brings the feeling of,

I'm talking to myself, I'm convincing myself to live better, to think and to see things positively.

It actually inspired me in the way how to brings out the lyrics into a MV

and creatively acted the lyrics out

I learned how to use right angle, right facial expression if i were to compose a video.
