whenIlookintoyoureyes Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 i got a happily ever after ending. the girl scoops the boy up from a boat falling off the cliff of a waterfall and flies away. That is brilliant! So can you just map it out for me before I begin...I want a guarantee of a happy ending before I attempt such pivotal decisions....:smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grids Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Ah the interlude experience is kinda cool. It takes a while to load in the beginning and story line is so sad. Aw Chris I feel you :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whenIlookintoyoureyes Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Just wondering if there are any links to the actual thoughts and comments from Coldplay themselves in regards to the philosophy behind the Ink clip? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safy Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 the original video (without selecting anything) ends with the man throwing himself into the water :surprised: Has anyone caught a clue for the next era that might have been put there? So far, no luck for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christa42 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Oyyy! I got pens and writing and lights and boats and flying and I thought the boat was going off the cliff but the lovely floating lady saved "Chris" and they floated off. So very beautiful, the graphics are incredible. If anyone knows me here I am very connected to the water and boats so it was so surreal. I never appreciated Ink until I heard the live version and now I am so infatuated with the vid. Coldplay makes me fall in love with them every corner they turn, every day that they grow, it all becomes new. so lucky to have experienced all the new facets and changes they make with this interactive vid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anacaren08 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 It's been a while since I've been on the forum!

Batman Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 i got a happily ever after ending. the girl scoops the boy up from a boat falling off the cliff of a waterfall and flies away. I got that ending, too, but how is it happy? He falls of a cliff and that girl is just what he sees before he hits the ground and dies D: Or at least that's my cheerful interpretation :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Philosopher Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Maybe one or more of the different 300 possible journeys have clues of the new era! We will have to investigate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
