    Did almost nothing for me at all. No offense but I kind of wish I didn't watch that.

    , , , and

    1. An intense (well I consider my subtlety intense in real life) emotional atmosphere isn't relevant at all. He cares very little of provoking emotions in others and seems to want us to study things from his own viewpoint.

    2. - Enterprises not giving a shit that they're colorless? I'm sure there's more to say about this but somebody better at Te than I am could try.

    3. The Se vs. Si thing I'm actually a lil confused about but I say . It's obviously just not oomph-y or drive-y enough to have in it. It cares more about the aesthetic sense of the water. The music is also horrible in the beginning and doesn't seem to match well. It seems to want the person to go there themselves rather than exerting spirit to move them along. Plus he really does walk/carry himself like some sort of Gamma.

    4. ... he talks a lot about general potentialities of things, that's so . is more forecasting immediate events in the here-and-now. I don't see him doing this. He's talking about empires and blah blah and zzzzzzzzzzzz. 'For who would bear the whips and scars of time.' That is SOOO mixed in with .

    I also couldn't hear him that well... my speakers have been acting up all day, and plus the vid is a bit quiet so take my opinion for what its worth, but yeah lol he seems totally Gamma. Just that Gamma-y...ness.

    There is also a lot of . I think it is a mistake to think of only as boisterous, loud and enthusiastic. In this case the actor was very good at communicating the despondent state (communicating/expressing an emotional state = ) very effectively, also non verbally through body language. can also be lowkey and quiet. I often think the 'loud' aspect of is stressed too heavily and confuse people to what really is.

    It opens in a turbulent way, with the music and the water... and him standing at the edge... and there's a sense of suspense and anticipation... is he going to jump? I saw this as (anticipation, suspense)/ (turbulence, movement).

    But then the camera starts zooming in on his head... and I thought how odd... are we being transported into his mind, will we discover what has brought him to this?

    But then the familiar words of Hamlet begin to play. And I think Hamlet is , so it must .

    The more he goes on the more I feel I'm being lulled to sleep... And I start thinking this movie is really about . His words are calming. His manner is calming. Everything is so calm now, but there is the subtle depression hanging about... a muted, toned down haze. And I'm not even noticing the words he says anymore... there's no contrast. And I'm thinking for him.

    Then he gets up from the rock he's lounging on... and wanders to the edge... and the anticipation rises again... except I know he isn't going to jump because this is Hamlet. He's just being melodramatic... but staring down into the water and reflecting on his melodrama... I start thinking again... even if it seems .

    He is lost in his mind the entire time. And in the way of an introverted perceiving function. He seems > though for some reason. Maybe it's the overall more feel of the movie itself? I don't know.

    Ni to the max, more focus on Fe than Te.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    I think it's kinda , , - unconscious Fe though. Like the way the camera zooms in on his head, then fades into the turbulence of the ocean - which I think is showing the turbulent emotions which he is experiencing ... though they aren't externally apparent. Fi dominant? He asks himself what the 'nobler' option would be, which seems to be Fi to me. Fe wouldn't care.

    I thought maybe Si-seeking - because of the emphasis on just wanting to rest, sleep - wanting to end the heartache and pain he's experiencing. The thought of possible discomfort along the line is primarily what keeps him from going through with it. He seems to have a sort of disgust of Ti, or maybe Ni? ... being that it keeps him from acting irrationally and spontaneously.

    I think Hamlet's IEE myself.

    I said that I'm quietly intense, buzzing beneath the surface, my emotional implications on others is always apparent... I exude emotion in everything I say, which naturally effects the mood on others. There's nothing boisterous or loud or enthusiastic about it, but it is my . (When I'm at my happiest my is a bit more bouncier and I kind of sound male pop star ish)

    However this guy, the way he's coming across is the opposite to me. Just because he's talking about identity and emotional states doesn't mean that's . It's still very much to me because it's naturally restrained, he just never (innately and naturally) makes me try to feel what he's feeling. I feel as if people are taking the video too much at face value, but I studied it for about 45 minutes before I posted. (Yes, I have no life.)

    He asks himself what the 'nobler' option would be, which seems to be Fi to me. Fe wouldn't care.
    Great point! Yes, I agree he's dominant not . You explained it better than I could.

    Yes, Expat. 'The sky is blue because it's blue, Asians can't drive because they can't drive, Ruffles have ridges 'cause they taste so good???' For a person so good at you just stated no facts or real evidence in that post whatsoever. Or is this supposed to be just our own literary interpretation since the very nature of it is abstract anyway?

    I hate that. Makes me feel like I'm in a third grade self-esteem class that I don't need. There has to be a right answer! =p

    Yes, I wasn't thinking of you directly when I said is often misunderstood on these boards. I often see people say they do not relate to Beta because they see as loud and obnoxious. Which it really isn't imo. It can be ofc in certain situations but that doesn't mean types approve necessarily when it is.

    Great point! Yes, I agree he's dominant not . You explained it better than I could.
    The part is about communicating his complicated inner feelings and make it tangible to the audience by creating a calm yet agitated introspective atmosphere.

    " Fe is responsible for the perception of an emotional state in an individual, and the bodily and linguistic expression of emotions."

    If you use that explanation of what is then that Hamlet scene positively oozes
