- A New York couple reflects on their relationship.
ON SECOND THOUGHT is used with permission from Nora Jobling. Learn more at norajobling.com.
A couple in New York looks back on their relationship, starting with the sweet way they met to the day they broke up. As they talk and reminisce, they see the same events from different perspectives, and together they ponder just why their romance didn't work.
Writer-director Nora Jobling's short romance is essentially a relationship postmortem, using the power of hindsight to figure out just why their love didn't stay the course. Told through a voiceover that's essentially a conversation between the pair of star-crossed lovers, the couple replay key moments of their union, first from one person's view and then the other.
Encapsulating an entire romance from start to finish into a short film is a formidable task, but the writing makes it work by focusing on toggling between the two perspectives, turning the story into a bittersweet meditation on how it's easy to see the other person's POV after the fact -- and how hard it is to consider it in the middle of the relationship itself. The drama doesn't come from the question of "what happens next"; instead, it explores just how a gulf can widen between two people who are in love and yet somehow can't meet one another's needs.
Shot in hand-held camerawork, there is a charming looseness and lightness to the visuals, and a sense of romance as the couple meet, love, fight and make up in all sorts of New York locales. The feel of the pacing and editing seems almost effervescent and blithe sometimes, though that quicksilver quality is deceptively breezy. The city itself becomes a kind of character in the film, an always restless, intriguing energy that carry the couple along, but never quite allows them to settle and be still long enough to examine their questions and discontents until it's too late.
Jobling and actor/comedian Jonah Ray play the couple with an easygoing charm and rapport, making it easy to see just why they come together. Ray is known for his Comedy Central appearances as the host of THE MELTDOWN WITH JONAH AND KUMAIL and his current gig hosting Netflix's MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000. But he shows a great depth and sensitivity in his acting here as a man who becomes stuck in his own fear and inexpressiveness. Jobling plays off him beautifully, showing both affection and frustration, which in turn seems to feed her sweetheart's sense of failure and fear -- and these tensions sadly come to a head during a breakup that neither seems to want.
That breakup is especially wistful and heartbreaking, since it becomes clear upon hindsight that both hoped the other would show some kind of will or effort to stop it. The denouement, too, brings an especially heightened melancholy, capturing both parties moving on, if not exactly with ease.
But what's especially heart-rending -- and makes ON SECOND THOUGHT an unusually resonant short despite its lightness of tone and execution -- is how the fullness of affection between them seems come out only with the act of looking back. They may not have been able to give 50/50 while they were together, but the 20/20 vision that hindsight offers reveals just how much love and hope existed between them, and just what was lost.

What I like about this series is that the actors look like ordinary people.
Ya such a site to see!
Me 2
Exactly, a normal guy and a normal girl, like in the real world. Thank you very much.
Series?
I was never into short films, until i discovered this channel, now I'm on a bing-watch marathon lol, thanks omleto for the great uploads.
Me too
welcome to the club :)
Hey me too!
Same
Just discovered short films too and I'm addicted...
it can be a dangerous thing to walk away whilst wanting someone to come after you.
I understand why we do it. But it's not such a good idea
Meeting offline is already a win
Oh universe, Find me my true love
Hope that you can find it. But all that you desires with ego, at the end is not for you. But if you truly desires from your being, you will find it
Ok pajeet
Much like the movie 500 Days of Summer. Sadly most relationships are exactly like this. Mostly pride gets in the way of what our heart really wants.
Love the short movies they keep me company on my daily commute the actors are magnificent some of the script really good and moving great job ....to be continued
Very creative adorable couple I don't know about the universe wanting you to be together but it sure would be nice for those who truly believe that love prevails over all the sadness in the world wherever the both of you are I hope that you found each other once again or moved on to someone just as great as the two of you obviously are together or were together or might still get back together. I love that it was all filmed in our awesome New York it shows all the beautiful parts of our city that are so precious and priceless that I pray will be up and running and back to the way it should have always always been just like real love itself perfect the way it was relationships like our city just needed a more tender love and care work to blossom.. God bless you both a true work of art and two amazing beautiful people.. I wish you both the very best! 👌💕
This is exactly what my boyfriend of 5 years and I are going through right now. He has a very big ego that's got a hold of him and I can be very impulsive...
Will we make it to 6 years? Dedication, commitment and mutual interest will tell.
So, how's everything?
I hope you made it through happily, together.
Hey, how are you two doing now?
Update?
so did you guys make it?
I was waited but he never showed up...and next day he got married
To whom?
great short movie of meanness relationships
I ❤️ NY & THIS SHORT.
Love never fails❤
Wow..just wow!!!! Feeling it❤️
So beautiful
Fantastic movie
Loved it ❤
Don't too quick fall in love, you will get bored.., too sweet in the beginning at the end will be bitter..
Yes...its always so DAMN GREAT in the beginning...that's why I wait six months to a year to see if we are REALLY compatible.
Very woody allen-esque 🤔
Damn im crying.
Lord I wished people Loved God more than the universe.. it’s like loving the story and characters more than the Artist who wrote and drew them.. if He suddenly decided to give up on the book the entirety of the story along with its characters would disappear.
This is beautiful
Love NYC!🍎
Coulda, woulda, shoulda. 😪
Every time I see that guy I think "Nice day for fishin'!"
Rowan?
Yeah, he looks like Rowan
👏
Practice makes perfect.
Well maybe not perfect
but...
Better. Practice makes better.
Makes me sad. They should have tried harder
To be honest, it didn't seem like they tried at all. None of them were willing to communicate, compromise, accept responsibility, or acknowledge their mistakes. Without those things, no healthy relationship can exist.
Did not meet Omeleto standard.
Hello, I am from Palestine. How can I get to know a girl for marriage?
Do you really think this is the best place to look for someone? Poor you!
What are you looking for? Look around you...do you see a person you like? go to a party or to a get together. Walk in the park, start a basic conversation with people etc,etc.
