The short clip definitely developed a strong emotion in me. A part of it was sadness and a part of it was anger. And the anger wasn't due to me not liking the movie, but the anger of seeing someone being bullied makes me wish I had the power to reach out into the screen and into the video to stop it. The fact that the main girl was hetero and had everyone making fun of her and the community so against heteros was interesting from the mom telling her to take the longer way to school due to her drama teacher being in a hetero relationship to the Romeo and Julio drama play. Everything was changed so it seemed like being hetero was the minority and the outcast and like what the principle said, "that maybe it is just a phase and that you have to grow out of it" really stroke out to me that you hear that being said in real life today but you don't know how wrong that phrase really is until you see it in a context you can relate to.
Overall the short clip I believed came and did what it wanted to do and that was to inform the viewers and evoke an emotion out of them in response to the controversial film. And maybe love is all you need that would have made the girl's life a little more bearable and worth living for. A small hand can go a long way, but in the short clip she is constantly bombarded with people dissatisfied with her. Her friends, her teachers, her boyfriend, even partially her parents all abandoned her once they found out.
