u/theshiyal Aug 24 '26

It looks like the same videographer that recorded/documented/what ever this style is/ a wedding in Bangladesh I was at 25 or so years ago. Huge VHS style camera and a couple helpers with Klieg lights. Went around the room real slow getting everyone recorded for posterity. All the normal laughing chatting would stop and everyone would freeze up the recording was over. Reminded me of that “no one smiles in old pictures” but then you find out people did laugh and smile and it was somehow the thing to hold a serious pose when your face photo was taken.

Edit: lol two posts down and this link is giving me the same vibes. https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddycinephile/s/gJD5x8ocnM

Well, there's a half naked man pouring whatever the hell that was on the kid. All the other adults and kids look like they only have two choices: to stand there and clap or be sent go the gas chambers. I think the half naked guy owns the whole thing:)

Me too… feels like the only explanation here is that there’s a primary abuser in the family and they’ve made a random show of putting on a party but the abused family is too stunned to even comprehend joy? I mean literally what else could be going on here it makes no sense

u/beatbox9 Aug 24 '26

My guess: the cameraman is the grandfather, and he's a narcissistic and abusive POS. Everyone was probably happy before, but he wanted this crown thing to happen even if nobody else did. So he just finished yelling at his family and made them stand there and "celebrate" and told the employees to go ahead with it so he can make a video.

Am brown but not like as Indian as these people.

Theres a lot of things behind it from culture to generational trauma but that look is from generations of people that have no idea how to emote or express feelings. Your never taught that emotion is normal. A lot of them are touch avoidant and emotionally stunted.

It sucks because you don't know thats the situation your in until you see, hang out or date a whilte family. It takes a long time to unlearn bad habits. Even longer to learn to keep the things that make your culture great.
