Lol he looks like he's about to burst into tears...great analysis on modern films nonetheless!

I agree with his assessments and applaud his courage. - Hollywood needs to work with the authors more instead of allowing screenwriters to manipulate stories to their sensibilities.

Next time you give a speech, start off with introducing yourself. It's something we do everyday and it calms you down with something familiar.

This guy did amazingly considering he's in year nine. Just needs to learn to be more comfortable with himself and that comes with experience. Great succint information delivered quickly and interestingly.

This shows us how important being confident is for popularity. The talk was informative but because of the execution it hasn't been seen by many people.
