After this video, you will see Facebook with different eyes
Is the life of our Facebook friends really so perfect - or is it just a facade? This short film makes you think.
Everyone knows it: You scroll through the Facebook timeline and see only positives: radiant faces, photos of the dream vacation or good mood sayings . Sometimes one wonders: is the life of my friends much more exciting than mine?
An impressive short film takes on this topic. Because all his acquaintances only post beautiful experiences on Facebook, a man feels compelled to portray his not exactly perfect life in a better image. Everything he talks about beautifully and packs it in an overly positive status message.
So it is for example "eat sushi with my girlfriend!" even though they are both just sitting on the sofa, they have nothing to say to each other and to put chips in them. Later, he is fired by his boss and posts "Get out of the impasse!", The truth does not matter, it only counts the digital recognition in the form of Facebook likes . When the man is caught up in reality at the very end and admits to Facebook that his life is crap, he disappears from the timeline of his friends .
Is it really like that? Do Facebook only count positive experiences and are we just kidding? Have you ever posted that you are in a bad mood? Does the social network serve only as a stage for self-expression? This video has definitely made us thoughtful!
Another great video: are we staring too much at our smartphones?
