導(dǎo)演Gary Turk獻(xiàn)給低頭族的英語視頻:我有422個朋友,但我很孤單

　　在 YouTube 上，有一個微電影被許多評論家評為反科學(xué)(Anti-technology)。這個由 Gary Turk 編寫、表演并執(zhí)導(dǎo)的《Look Up》發(fā)布兩周以來，已經(jīng)有近3000萬的瀏覽量。作為一個5分鐘，并且意義深刻的視頻，成績相當(dāng)不錯。
　　《抬起頭來》(Look Up)的自創(chuàng)短片，從中呼吁低頭組關(guān)掉手機，放下生活中的干擾。片中"Look Up"一詞，是針對現(xiàn)今"上網(wǎng)一族"的一種術(shù)語。視頻­中，蓋瑞通過一個迷路男子因為開口向身邊一名女子問路，而展開美麗的愛情故事乃至獲­得美滿人生的故事，突顯現(xiàn)代人們或許因為現(xiàn)代科技，例如手機中的導(dǎo)航應(yīng)用程式而與幸福­失之交臂。
