It looks interesting as a demonstration of the technology, but (due only to my bad overthinking habit!!!) I found it quite hard to watch.
- I couldn’t see where Gary had consented to it (though obviously if he’d objected it would have been removed.)
- I struggled to think of a story that would include this episode. I settled on the guy having two friends who have entered an event. The friend in red has done well and is being congratulated by her two friends (the guy and the one in green). Looking at it that way, are we thinking unkindly of the friendships, as if we’re being encouraged to see them flirting and therefore doubt their sincerity in the relationships? I know that mixed-gender friendships can include flirting, but (again overthinking) I wonder if that would be a barrier to really close platonic friendship.
Looking at it again now, though, I see it more as a piece of street theatre and problem 2 has gone away completely. I once saw an odd. situation unfold while I was having coffee at the South Bank Centre, and it later dawned on me they were performing a show.
Another possible story would be that the women had dared each other to do this. The lesson for me is to be less lazy and try harder to work out what could be happening I didn’t like my first explanation and then it stuck in my head.
