Men have feelings too (For April 3, 2009)

The link above is another one from Lev Yilmaz, the artist who made the video from last week. This video is called "I'm Not Going To Think About Her." It breaks past the stereotypes that women always take break-ups worse than men, and that men are very forgetful when it comes to small things in relationships. The video shows many drawings of a girl doing different things, and Lev narrating over it, constantly saying "I'm not gonna think about..." and finishing the sentence with something his ex-girlfriend used to do. There are tons of things he names, making the point that Lev did indeed remember the little things in their relationship, and some of the things he liked most about his ex. The video also gives a different picture of a woman. Stereotypically, a woman would be thought of as the clean one in the relationship, but Lev points out some messy habits his ex had, such as leaving open candy bars in her purse or microwaving plastic on foods. But he doesn't bring these up to show how bad she was. It seems more that he brought them up to show how he even liked her regardless of her mistakes or shortcomings. It's a very thoughtful video, so enjoy.
