Would you want him as a friend? Several viewers of Josiah Fi's latest movie edit say they would, while others focus on how the character is treated by the people around him.
“Watching this makes me sad.#movie #foryou #edit” reached about 700,000 views in its first 18 hours, an unusually strong start for the clips channel. The comments were already more than ten times as numerous as on a usual first day.
The conversation is more specific than the title. Viewers discuss a classroom interaction, with some interpreting a professor's manner as helpful despite an initially rude impression. Others question why acceptance should require the character to adapt rather than the people around him making an effort to understand him. One commenter identifies the source as “The Cowboy,” an episode of Little America.
Among those interpretations is a simpler, recurring response: viewers describe the character's directness and friendliness as qualities they would want in someone close to them.
