Camera, set, action!

People say that a lot of things we see on the internet is fake and although I'm still trying to truly understand that (because I still find myself believing things on the internet only for some weeks to go by and it turns out it wasn't true), but if there's one thing I've never truly liked or being a fan of, it is people who set up the camera to cry, apologize and do stuff that normally would take true emotions out of you.

And the reason why I say this is because sometimes it takes this people some time to set up the camera, get the perfect lighting, make the video, probably more than once because they're trying to get the best shot that shows the most believable emotions and all that, and then go edit it (if they have to) before posting it.

To me, I think that is wild, especially if it's one of those crying videos where someone is heartbroken and all that. Because if you really do think about it, most of these people are really just professional actors who have revised the script so many times in their head, a script they mentally wrote themselves, and before going ahead to give us an Oscar worthy performance.

Sincerely speaking, when doing things like this or when going through these emotions, I genuinely feel like they have to be heartfelt, in a way where the other person could tell that you're truly sorry or that you were truly hurt by their actions, and most times, having to do that by sitting opposite a mobile phone or a camera doesn't exactly give that feeling.

And the same goes for an apology video too, unless circumstances (probably due to being distance apart) prevents that person from coming over to you to sincerely apologize, having to send a video of you apologising just won't be enough, depending on what you did though.

Because if you really did me dirty and at the end of the day all I get from you is a video file of you saying sorry to me, that most definitely would do the opposite of what you hoped it would do...and rather than forgive you, I will end up getting more pissed at you.

Although I have to include that sometimes, it doesn't really matter if they're apologising over the hone or in person, because if they're truly not sorry and their intentions from the start has always been to fake an apology, they will still fake it, regardless of if it's face to face or over the phone.

So I guess it doesn't really matter how the apology is coming, but you see the one that has to do with someone crying, probably due to a heartbreak or something.. That one is top notch cinema product.
