Microexpressions with the Hereos vs. Villains



When Russell takes his seat, we see two microexpressions of contempt. It is rare to see contempt like Russell does here, usually a person shows contempt on only one side of the face, each and every time.


I would suggest watching the entire video without the volume, and studying their expression and gestures. I see contempt several more times, and Colby gives a great subtle microexpression of disgust. I believe there are 10+ microexpressions in this ten minute video.◦

Imo, Parvati looks down on Russell because she knows/thinks she can manipulate him. (After looking over some of the preceding Youtube clips, imo Russell actually does have some romantic feelings for her.) She shows contempt right when he gives her the idol and seems to show some sort of negative expression while smiling when she says "Such a gentleman." Her expressions are a little hard to read, though, because she never seems to move her eyebrows much.
