I thought this video was really funny. I watched it and I started laughing. It’s not every day that you see a guy in downtown Lincoln running around giving people hugs. But, all that aside, I thought it actually was a very good video. They way the had the change from a black and white background to a color background right after the guy got his first hug was very appropriate. I also liked that because I think that this change in the color of the background signifies that even trivial things, something as simple as a hug, can make an amazing change in the life of a person, even without the one who instigated that change realizing it. Because when the video changes to color, the guy who gave the “free hugs” guy a hug didn’t even realize that any change had occurred. That just goes back to what I said before, it’s important to always be the best that we can to everybody, because one thing might make a huge change in someone’s life and we wouldn’t even realize it.
Another thing that stood out to me in that video was the music. Before the guy with the sign gets his first hug the song says, “I don’t mind where you come from as long as you come to me.” This makes me think that what the video and song are saying is that a lot of people out there are feeling left out and like they want to fit in and connect with other people but they just don’t know how. They want to be accepted but they feel like they never will.
Really, I think that this video is a great reminder that everyone needs to approach each person as if they mean something to them. It’s amazing how much the little things mean to people. It makes people feel like they’re accepted and like you care about them. These little detail cam make a huge difference in anybody’s life.
