    This Is Why Trusting Appearances Is Never A Good Idea.

    Most people don’t get fooled because they’re naive. They get fooled because they stop looking. Once we place someone into a category, our minds begin filtering everything through that assumption. We see what we expect to see and ignore the details that don’t fit the story. That’s why first impressions can be so powerful, and sometimes so misleading. Becoming emotionally intelligent begins when we stop focusing on the image people present and start paying attention to who they truly are. Because a person’s true character is never revealed by how smoothly they play a role, but by who they become when the act is no longer required.

    1. This is a good scene, but I'm kinda ashamed. When my great grandmother died and her funeral was rushed, I was in college and I didn't have the time to buy anything nice, and all my nice stuff was too small.

      All I could wear to her funeral was a plain blue tshirt, jeans, and tennis shoes. It wasn't a terribly formal occasion, but I was so underdressed. Thank god nobody cared, but it still felt so mortifying.

    2. This actually happens more than people think. Because some learn that you aren’t noticed if they don’t see you as a threat .
      Great acting. He has the villain down

    3. That’s the same level of acting as Christof Waltz right before saying “you’re sheltering enemies of the state are you not?”.

      Extremely powerful emotions communicated through almost imperceptible facial changes

    4. Did anyone else sense in that silence a hint of amusement like he wanted to smile but didn’t because the thought of being caught was a shock and inconvenience all in one
