    Good video. She likes him a lot more than I do.

    My favorite part is when he takes off his glasses to look at nails. He
    takes off his glasses to see better. I had wondered if they were fake.

    It depends on your vision.

    I'm short-sighted, so need glasses to see distance, but when working on something small close-up, it is better to take my glasses off. This can
    become more of a problem as people age, which is why they sometimes get bifocals - the upper half of the lenses for long distance and the lower
    half of the lenses for close work / reading.

    On the UK TV show "The Repair Shop", the clock repair expert Steve
    Fletcher often wears two or even three pairs of glasses at the same
    time when working on the small items. One of the other experts has also
    used the same idea a couple of times. <https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/article30288011.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200d/0_Steven-Fletcher.jpg>



    It can also depends on your glasses. If the lenses are tinted for sun protection, then that can make it harder to see small close up things.

    If they were fake, then he wouldn't have to take them off. Also, I was
    born in the same year as Pascal and I take my glasses off when looking
    at things at close range (like reading).

    His whole life is a lie. Why wouldn’t his glasses be as well?

    Somehow, I have arrived at this point in my life without
    the sightest clue who Pedro Pascal might be.

    I suspect I may want to keep it that way.

    I hate the guy. You might note that his entire story about fleeing
    oppression in South America is a lie. They fled because his father was a
    tax dodger.

    My understanding is that they wanted to leave before the revolutionaries
    got their hands on them and their money.

    Well, government taxes *are* a form of "oppression". ;-)

    oppression
    noun: oppression; plural noun: oppressions
    Prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or exercise of authority.
