WOODKID: IRON Video Analysis

Woodkid - Iron from WOODKID on Vimeo.

A few hidden meanings that I feel stand out in this video after a lot of thought and consideration:

0:03. Cross keys representing religious presence - the symbol of Saint Peter.

0:12. A lighted match - Revelation.

0.30. War drums.

0:38. The character holding the book - strong and objective religious presence.

0:40. Sleeping boy on the altar - the future or new messiah - hope.

0:46. Barbarian on horseback - Assault and Invasion.

0:54. The man with the torch could possibly represent the illuminati.

1:40. A rain of ashes, representing possible war or invasion.

2:46. The fall of meteorites, representing global catastrophe and loss of life.

Woodkid clearly thinks a lot about representation and connotations in his videos by using extreme stereotypes to represent meaning. Ex: The barbarian, a stereotypically violent individual representing  something much larger like war and fighting.
