      That was amazing but I was more so heart broken that they wouldn't get to experience all that together and there is no way for either of them to communicate so whether or not they'll ever see each other again is all up to chance (and pretty unlikely) Usually when a really really special someone gets away from you you try to forget them but he's living his life in remembrance of the one that got away and he'll probably never get back! Idk why I watch these, I cant handle it! lol

    why the f are people complaining about this. I felt like this was great. the pacing was perfect because it reflects how life is, where you can have someone come into your life, have an impact but also leave your life but leave a lingering emotion

      It does work, but its kind of a surprise to everyone I think. the dialoge between characters was a bit cheesy. needed more build up to make sense/ to relate to. it was okay, but they could have done better. Still love wong fu though.

    I think the people who say it's sad they didn't get together don't understand the story. Although you may like other people, it's about chemistry AND timing. Sometimes it isn't right for both of you and sometimes people need to leave. What matters is you touched each other's lives and experiences may be shared if you let them. :)

    meeting somebody in your life doesn't always mean you'll end up with them, but rather the opportunity they end up guiding you to without you knowing. They gave each other a new meaning in life. She traveled the world because of meeting him, and because they liked each other at the wrong time, got him out of the grocery store to travel and see what she has seen. It's how the universe works. This is turn has changed both their outlook on life and probably mindset and are now doing amazing things. Beautiful...

      I get her liking him and not being ready for a relationship, but hoping that he'll he'll still be there waiting for you after you've gotten your shit together is just looking for disappointment.
      Either he won't be there because he's found someone else, or he won't be there because he's a different person and has moved on from you emotionally.

Though things didn't work out between me and him and we both have since moved on, the stone is still sitting on my desk. But I never forget it. I will travel to Italy one day and bring the stone along :)

    This short was great! Loved the pacing and filmography, and I didn't think it was too cheesy. Also, lots of people in the comments section are mentioning quite sarcastically that it "must be nice to have money to travel" - if you're actually serious about having these experiences, that shouldn't be an issue. You don't have to go very far to find adventure or explore. Even if you can't afford to go to someplace far, just look at a map of your surroundings, and see what transportation you have available. There are lots of beautiful places around us but we don't usually know about it. Sometimes all it takes is a bus ride to get to some incredible places. And if it's only meaningful to you if you're going very far, you can always save up and wait for a time in your life (which will most certainly come at some point) when you do have the means to go wherever in the world you want -- they didn't specify when in time James went traveling. Anywho, thank you to everyone who helped out with this short for bringing it to us ^_^

    So is this a story from Phil's past? :D I remember he mentioned during Lunchbreak that one of his works in the past is from a certain grocery store. There's a line in the grocery aisle confrontation regarding "baggage", within a grocery store. I see what you did there. :P I liked how Lynn(?) is encouraging James to go out there and explore, to know himself more, just as how exploring let her understand herself. Not all stories end in happy ever after, sometimes life is just like that. Great video guys. :)

    I really loved this one. I know you guys love to do drama, and it's part of the reason why I subbed you all those years ago. My only little critique is that maybe, just maybe, once in a blue moon, you could do something that has an all around happy ending. You know, guy gets the girl sort of thing. Some people think happy endings are just cliche, but I disagree. As much as there is drama in life there is also happiness. I'd just love to see a happy moment captured in one of your shorts. This wasn't a bad ending, but it was open and unsure. I guess I like closure on stories. Take of that as you will...I'ms o nervous Single by 30 will end sadly. I love it so much and look forward to all the new episodes, but you guys don't always take the happy road in your stories as I mentioned. Guess I'll find out in a few weeks when it finishes up. Thanks for all the great videos over the years, I still love your stuff, just had an opinion.

      I guess it's all about perspective.
      To someone like me, this kind of ending is the best ending it could have been.
      Kinda reminds me of spirited away. There's a touch of romance but in the end the bigger picture has nothing to do with romance and leans more towards a personal narrative with a friendship as the catalyst.
      But that's just my opinion.
      And I really look forward to their next video! :)

      Like I said, I loved the video. It just became something I wasn't expecting. Which can both be good and bad. And I do know they have made happy ending type videos before, it just seems lately that they've gone down a different path with more drama and less happy. More stuff dealing with break ups type of stuff. Again, just my opinion, I still like their stuff overall. They are one of the greats on UA-cam.

In my experience, the government owned parks are nicer since they are chosen by that province (or state) to represent their natural greenery. As well as to make money for them.

      +steph0804 it wasn't just an hour. The video implies continuous meet ups to her car. I'd say through a course of no more than three months they met and from time to time they'd spend time together. Yes the build up was slow and not as strong as other wong fu videos. But I like this video Becuz it left you having to assume the rest of the times they spent. I'm not saying their perfect with every video. And your right there's some parts that could've been better. But the video I really like is because of how they left you to fill the gaps of what you don't know

    • @steph0804
      @steph0804 7 років тому +3

      Okay I can see where you're coming from, but I feel like they left too many gaps to fill this time and the chemistry between the two leads is a bit lacking, and hence cringeworthy.
      Also, 15 minute meet ups 6-7 times over 2-3 months = total of 2.5 hours spent together (at max) Still not a lot of time to actually like a stranger

      it's harder than you think I guess because when I got hurt by a person I really liked, all the places we went to were really awful. all of my previously favorite places that I took him to suddenly became the worst places and I couldn't go there anymore. I couldn't go around the mall anymore. and even when I wasn't in that mall, the school I went to was the issue or the moon itself because we watched the moon together. the night, its darkness, reminded me of him. sometimes getting out of all the usual places helps in seeing that the world isn't as filled of thoughts of him you know? like there are places he hasn't touched. and I wasn't even in a serious relationship with him and he didn't violate me physically as well. I love this short and I can relate despite its shortness.
