    I wasn't sure where to put this, but I saw the word 'Media', and I figured, a video falls under media, right? If I'm wrong, sorry - still new here.

    But anyways, this video is amazing. It made me tear up. It gives me hope for the future. lets me dream that someday, homophobia will be extinct.

    Good video, but homophobia will never end.

    Yeah, probably not. It's a dream, like I said. Some dreams don't come true. But maybe someday, we'll have it to where homophobia is a minority, that it will be bullied into silence, as it should be, by good people.

    You are right. It will never end, but it will come a time where it won't be socially acceptable anymore. Just like racism and anti-semitic comments or insults.

    Nice video btw :slight_smile:

    Yeah, it was kind of cheesy, but their budget is fairly low, and it still gets the message across.

    Someone made a recut version, and I think it's a million times better. The original is sweet, but it is a little cheesy. This one made me a little misty though. I think it's the music. ^_^

    I like them both, but I would have to say that I prefer the first one, if just because of the last shot. It's a little long and cliché, but it's still a good shot and story resolution.

    I didn't get how the green-sweatshirt guy knew why the main character was being bullied just by looking at the reactions. Just me, though.

    Forgive my overanalysis. I'm a high school video student who recognizes these things.

    Maybe not, but that doesn't mean you give up.

    Crime never ends, but we still have police that fight it.

    I enjoyed both of the videos, I don't know which one I enjoyed more actually I really liked them both. I could only hope people put a stop to homophobia, racism, sexism and Gender roles... but I know that seems like a far off hope that will never happen.
