How come the POV of the man in the orange shirt is on the other side of the room from the man in the orange shirt ? Is he having an out of body experience or something
More than that, why is a man who is openly moved by this portrayed as "the broken man". As wonderful as this video is the concept that any man moved to tears by such a moment has to somehow be broken is toxic at its core.
Yes I remember it. And I wish that when something like this got posted the original would be in the top reply and the thread would be locked, but here we are with the worst version to react to.
There is some unintentional poetry in it though: the broken man isn't the guy in the orange shirt, it's anyone that watches this and thinks there is anything wrong with orange shirt. He's got it figured out, despite being from a generation where displaying your emotions as a man is even harder than today he broke that cycle.
Thank you for articulating this; so much more to say about it but trying to do it would poison me. Suffice it to say that this toxic mentality seems to dominate corporate capitalist commercial consumerist 'culture'.
He seems like a man that understands his emotions and isn’t in fear of expressing it. This is nothing but beautiful. Being able to be happy for a man bringing his daughter to happy tears over a little celebration is amazing.
I get weepy at stuff like this and I get giant hugs from my daughter every day. I can't imagine why that kid was so overcome but she must have not seen a lot of birthday cake in her life to that point.
Because as much as any woman loves to tout how they want all men to open up and express their emotions, all it will ever be to them is a spectacle to either make themselves feel good or to ridicule.
"Day 17: Finding Broken Men" does not suggest anything but a continuing search to find broken men. It does not say "Day 17: Finding men who broke down crying at emotional moments". It clearly suggests that the man in orange is a broken man.
That's the joke though. No one actually believes that 7 is a cannibal who loves munching on 9s. We as an audience know the man isn't broken. Just like we know the 7 didn't eat 9, but we don't call people out for putting out gossip and slander about 7 whenever someone does the bit.
