  1. I am putting this comment here so that you guys will remind me of this beautiful short. It’s really inspired me to be myself. Before I watched this video, I was looking for inspiration to help me with my fashion designing. Now I have found it! Thank you so much! 😊

  2. First of all, it is a fantastic short film.
    It catches every emotion in the body and keeps getting my empty feelings out. All my feelings are flying out of my body and my identity is getting real.

    The point of showing a group of "beautiful people" isnt right. You can be beautiful in anyway. In your body, in your head and in your toes. – Yellow poster

    And the woman that switches her mask to match the personality of their friend groups. We switch our identity to adapt to the people we are nearby. That isn't nessacary in anyway.

  3. The overall point that is conveyed in terms of being yourself and defying the structural social society that is in this case apparently, only within the walls of young people /highschool- as the teacher was not equipped with a mask- which is a bit naive in innit. Although thats my understanding of it idfk. It's cliché in terms of visual storytelling- if it was on tumblr i wouldn't bat an eye. The commitment to reach the younger generation seems forceful. I appreciate the camera work though. The corrolation between the chess game and plato's "story" is obvious, but a nice touch yuh. peace, and shoutout to Lisa Doyle that's 45 yrs old.

  4. Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins!

    Come to HIM🙂

  5. Reflect: I’ve learned knowing your real identity will set you free. Learn to think first before complying with a certain standard. Always ask question like: Will it make me happy? Is it worth it? Does it invalidate my self respect? Lastly, don't believe in what your eyes are going to perceive. Not all things that other people are showing are the real ones. Learn to criticize and be transparent.

    Points:

    I. People has their own masks

    A. Because we are afraid of judgments

    B. We don’t want to be alone

    1. People belong themselves with group that has same identity/characteristics

    2. Masks represents a certain symbol or meaning

    a. White=Unique/different

    b. Yellow=Beautiful

    C. We want to please people

    1. We comply to their standards

    2. We depend ourselves to what they want us to be

    D. We are confused of our real identity

    1. A girl change her mask just to socialize with a certain group

    2. We change our identity to fit with other people

    3. We seek acceptance from other people than ourselves

    II. Why we can’t have real freedom

    A. That is why no one dares to remove their masks

    B. People tend to hide their true selves

    1. Sometimes, we thought that it was to interact smoothly with other groups of people. However it prevents us from having true freedom of expression.

    C. We became slaves of other people standards/ society’s expectations

    1.Plato’s allegory of the cave

    a. We are being deceived by other people because of our ignorance

    2. Just like the pawn in the chest

    a. Nothing but slaves

    3. Afraid of rejection

    III. Only you can free yourself

    A. Take off your mask

    1. By knowing your identity

    2. By having self acceptance

    3. By spending your time to those people who accept for who you are

    NOTES: Other Ideas are from other comments ctto

  6. I am literally sobbing. This really has hit me in the heart, like I just overcame a deep rooted struggle I’ve had with myself where I constantly cover up who I truly am around people, because I know everyone else is doing the same and I am typically afraid of judgement. But, when I am alone I feel my true divine self, and I am not ashamed. I WANT to show who I am off, and stop trying so hard to live my life to please everyone else. This really fucking hit my heart I just reached a new level of evolution, I feel my deepest self shining through me. Thank you so much for your message, for your inspiration. Thank you for being a precious soul, who has gone through something unbeneficial to your soul, and overcoming it. For learning, and for spreading your wisdom. Thank you. I deeply appreciate you, your wisdom, your soul, your kindness, and your effort. Thank you for wanting to share such beauty with the world. You are a wonderful soul, We are evolving and overcoming life TOGETHER. As ONE. We are all one, and connected. We should always uplift each other, support, love, and be at peace with everyone and everything. Never against. And we should never hide ourselves, our true selves. From nobody, not from ourselves or anyone around us. Take off the fucking masks and walls you hide behind. Crash those stupid fucking walls down, and be open. In an open field, of trees and naturalness, of POSITIVITY AND OF LOVE!!! Water, fire, air, Earth, BEAUTY. 🦋🦋🦋🌞🌞🌞🌊🌊🌊🦚🦚💗🌜🌜🌜🌜🍭 I hope my message gives you strong feelings of support, love, joy, and vibrance the way your video has given me feelings of greatness, of evolution, growth, self love, hope for the souls in our worlds and hope for myself. I wish you a beautiful life, with sprinkles and glitter of love, light, peace, happiness and pureness. Namaste. 🦥🐝
