Alt-J is so funky. Honestly, this video took me by surprise, it has a non linear format. It goes end to beginning, sorta, going in and out of different events, some in sequential order. The story is fictional, but i guess could happen. The sound of the song seems so hyper and insightful, using lines from Where The Wild Things are, which is a children's book. These words streaming over the most intense and table turning part of the video. Drives me crazy, i love it. I mean the over bearing love they are portraying in such an extreme way could have been the motive for Where the Wild Things Are, but i didn't notice that until i watched this video.

Fictional is made up, even if it could really happen. You're off to a good start bt there's more to unpack here. Describing this as end to beginning doesn't really do the reverse structure justice. Playing it all backwards feels different than seeing the end first played forward. It is also worth exploring the color and tone of this video. It adds to the emotional impact.
