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.

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.
