La Peace writing analysis
During this clip,IShowSpeed thought what he found was diamonds that could help him and Kai on their goal of beating the four Minecraft bosses:Warden,Ender Dragon,Wither and the elder guardians.
Speed then soon realised that what he found wasn’t diamonds and Kai then pointed out that those were lapis lazuli’s. This parallels their writing. During this moment,Kai realised what he wanted wasn’t power,but to seek and find peace. Meanwhile,just like how Speed was fooled by the appearance of the ore,he was blinded by power.
The facecam of both Speed and Kai also directly parallels this,as Speed thought he could gain fame,wealth and power from what he thought was diamonds,his face cam although as dark as a moon,his reaction was just as cheerful as the sun. Kai who’s face cam is as bright as the sun,was as dark as gloom. In Buddhism,the moon represents enlightenment,truth and compassion,and how they were enlightened was one of the most poetic parts of this clip.
After they realised what they actually found wasn’t diamonds but lapis,they were both enlightened in different ways. Speed,who was so happy to find what he thought was power,instantly broke down due to how painful the truth is. Meanwhile Kai,inspired by the name of the block,realised what he wanted wasn’t fame,power or even wealth,but instead “la peace”. Their enlightenment forces both of them to walk down each others path and forget about their past. Speed,who was as bright as the sun,faced the moon reflecting on the lake realising his goal doesn’t contain any substance and Kai,who was as dark as the night sky,faced the sun that reflects itself towards the entire lake.
In conclusion,this clip tells Speed that their goals of beating the 4 bosses of Minecraft were an illusion and will never come true and for Kai,it forces him to seek another goal of world wide happiness,which is “la peace”.
