See the way I look at it, and I may be incorrect, but the actors are merely selling the act. What one does with the recording is completely different. Be it a movie, a commercial, a college project ect.

So when I watch things I don't pick out those kinds of things as I find it to dilute the experience. For the same reason reading a book allows you to create the view of it on your own.

I still don't see the differentiation you have between this acted out scene of supposed strangers kissing, and the same thing in a movie. Both instill in me the same feelings one would possibly feel during such an encounter.

Kind of like how some people will critique a movie based on incorrect facts or incorrect realism, or how people wouldn't act like that. I watch things for fun and experience.

Still kinda of confused as to your view point on the video. Aren't most movies contrived? I think from my standpoint, regardless of it being phony, I allowed myself to create the realness part of it. Due to the fact I have felt that before, and I like experiencing empathy... Whether it be from a real experience or one that is acted out.

Im sure somewhere out there in internet land there is at least one video that would better suit this topic. Some one has to of captured the moment in a real life scenario and video taped it.

Where's the ugliness? I must have missed something.

I wasn't really making any value judgements. Just pointing out that the clip in which you are finding moonbeams and unicorns is actually just a calculated ploy to make you buy new pants.
