The film “Me and you and everyone we know” has a string of numerous relationships all within the same group of nine people. It contained many socially awkward moments, which made me the viewer at times very uncomfortable. But as the film goes on every character shows deep down what they really want in their lives. The only way a character would express their inner most desires, is with some sort of filter. Every character is always trying to win another character’s approval. The only reason why they would express them is because the filter would not leave them vulnerable to rejection. The point that the filmmaker is trying to make is that though out our lives we are always trying to seek for someone’s approval but we contain the courage to actually express how we really feel.

Sometimes the characters would even hold these feelings in for long periods of time. This is shown in the film when the little boy constantly hears a noise early in the morning. As he investigates numerous times, he eventually finds the source of the noise. It’s a man clicking a quarter against a street sign pole. The little boy asks the man why he is clicking the quarter. He replies that it passes the time. When the boy realizes the answer the lighting becomes brighter on his face, which represents the sun rising. The filmmaker also shows this in the editing by showing the sunrise at a rapid rate. The point that the filmmaker makes is that a human being will hold in their feelings no matter how long unless there is a filter for them to express how they truly feel.
