This is interesting. This HS student conducted a little social experiment: she begins recording video of other students and calls each one 'beautiful'. The reactions are amazing; everything from utter joy, to crying, to threats of violence. Almost no one seems comfortable with this simple compliment. Made me tear up a little, enjoy...

I thought each person WAS beautiful. Maybe it's just that they're young. Cool vid.

Seriously though, how would you all react to that statement? I think I'd vulnerable, and w/ a camera in my face I'd feel awkward.

I would have told her to hurry up.

I watched it again and I like that the artist was showing us what she thinks is beautiful. Perhaps not just the way they looked but how they reacted. Most were modest and surprised. It's that vulnerability that's endearing to us I think. Then again, I think unconventional features are beautiful ( Love gapped teeth, red hair, hands, etc. asymmetry etc)

Glad you enjoyed it. It seems the film maker was conducting a social experiment of reactions more than actually thinking each was beautiful, although I agree most of them were. I would have reacted like the last girl, "That is SO nice! This has been such a great day..."
