Extinguished
Anderson, A. et Mann, J. (2017, 19 avril). Extinguished. [Vidéo en ligne].
What stands out
- Presence of sexual diversity at the beginning with different couples kissing (e.g.: heterosexual couple, an elderly couple, male couple).
- Feelings for the other may not be shared (e.g. when the girl does not want him and his flowers).
- The romantic interest and the attraction between two people can be shown by small gestures (e.g. a look, a wave, a smile, offering flowers, etc.).
- The fear of being rejected and the rejection experiences can lead to no longer wanting to be in a relationship, being afraid to surrender to love.
- The desire for the other can simply arise by seeing someone appear. One can be destabilized by that and feel embarrassed (e.g.: when he runs for the elevator).
- Small caveat: the more passive attitude of the girl and the muscular boy, corresponding to gender stereotypes.
