KUALA LUMPUR: The critically acclaimed video, Daniel the Biscuit Boy, is making waves in the virtual arena! Within just one day of its release, it has chalked up a huge following amongst various communities, cutting across ethnographic, geographic, & just about any demographic borders you can think of! Insiders even say that it has been tipped off as a favourite nominee in next year's BOHming-kia-zho Awards, though nomination period usually begins late in the year on the 31st of November.
Daniel the Biscuit Boy, a simple, touching, heart-warming video, was directed, written, produced & acted by Mr. Kenvianni (also known as Ken-Wan-Neh) & the title character, Mr. Danieeeeeeeel himself. Critics has hailed it as the "most talented piece of work" that has come out of the virtual arena in recent years. A video with timeless values that has been likened to the teachings of Confucius, Daniel the Biscuit Boy tells the story of an innocent boy who just wants to impact the world with biscuits. Very much influenced by his mother, he strives in many different ways to bring about awareness of the importance of biscuits, stopping at nothing to achieve his goal, yet always ensuring that his mother would approve of his actions.
Mr. Chiayewni Kong, renowned philosopher, gushes at the stark simplicity & profoundness of the video. "The biscuit was symbolic for roundness, perfection and daniel's love for pregnant mothers. In fact i would dare theorized it symbolizes a Mother." He has even written a thesis on the analysis of the video, which can be found here.
The genius of the video is this: the symbolisms underlying the video are many, & one would always discover a new aspect with each new viewing. Says Ms. Zhenelle, a prominent critic, "Daniel the Biscuit Boy marvelously portrays the inner desires of a boy who never grew up; a boy who, essentially, just wants to please his mother. It effectively spells out a hidden problem many 21st Century boys bring with them, even to the working world, & when they have built their own families. Mr. Kenvianni & Mr. Danieeeeeeeeel have succeeded in producing a simple, accessible video with a heavy message, tucked in with a myriad of layers that can never really be peeled off. A masterpiece of our time."
We will be awaiting great news for this video from the land of flying-without-wings.
