2. How would you rate the video?
    - Is it high qualityin technical terms? Is it interesting aesthetically eg cameral angles,us of light, the narrative, and so on?
It depends. On one hand, this video made a hugh noise in the territory and  triggered off  severe arguments about social problems among citizens, which effect is   unprecedented and deserves high rate. As for intechnical terms, it is not satisfying since the video maker merely intended to record the whole incident happened on the bus. In the video, we can see that the definition is low and the camera angle is quite straight forward without deliberate alternation.


  - Does it raise interesting socio-cultural issues?
This video actually raises socio-cultural issues and it can be analyzed in two period of time. When the video had just came out, people first realised that citizens have many mental problems like stress and pressure brought by daily life. Not long after, more and more people saw it and discussed it in forum which gradually form a collective criticizing trend online. To my mind, the video itself is not a single issue, but it lead to catenation in the society.

3. Do you think that it deserved the attention that it received from the internet community?
I do think that the video deserved people's attention even the stressful uncle. Before, a single voice voice is not loud enough to raise echo. This video honestly an underprivileged man 's encountering, in which the whole society can attain weight to them.
