First of all, thanks for your quick reply! And now we're off into the realm of the subjective, but I don't think that automatically means talking drivel.
When I see this short film (never seen it before), then it makes my body go just a little tingly. He's doing the movements very much in a "nothing to see here, folks, now move along" way. But just in the way his arms move, so sinuous, smooth, light but also heavy, and something in his body resonating, I still get a sense of deep power and connection. My mirror neurons (if they indeed exist) are going "yeah!". On the other hand, my viewing and response are contaminated as an 'experiment': I've already seen this guy (famous master) before doing other stuff (which impressed me big time) and I know his name and status.
So there you are. I can't say any more without starting to waffle.
Do not make the mistake of giving up the near in order to seek the far.
