First Kiss

Apparently this thing is the filmmaker's first project and it's gone wildly viral. The YouTube video was well north of 8.5 million hits when I saw it.

The social critic in me wants to say things about the appearances/ages of the kissers. Supposed picked at "random" they're all young(ish) and all conventional-appearing. At least there are some not M-F pairings, but persons of color are painfully absent.

But it's intimate and sweet and I can't help smiling along.

It made me smile too. One of the M-F pairs included a woman of color. A hand full of couples does not make for a large sample.
