'Good Boy' writer/director here! Thank you all so much for watching the short film. Means a lot to see this personal story resonate with this audience. I remember watching Wong Fu clips since the early days of UA-cam, so it means a lot to see have a project be selected by this team. 'Good Boy' has touched so many hands and I'm so grateful with everyone who has supported and shepherded it along the way. Here's to sharing more of our stories ✨
I never liked the concept of a job/occupation associated with doljabi…but I also wanted to respect the cultural significance of doing it, so when we had our one year olds’ doljabi ceremony, we used little toy fruits and put a “fruit of the spirit” word in each (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control), so that no matter what they chose, there was only a blessing associated with it.
As a Chinese American, I just want to say that regardless what your parents want you to become, that's their vision a lot of times that they couldn't achieve in their lifetime and want you to achieve it for them because they believe it's the "right" choice in life. But in reality, I don't think there is a right choice in life. There is only what you think it's best for yourself.
I personally believe every job, regardless if you're a janitor or a doctor, should be respected for what they do. Just because one makes more money than the other, it doesn't mean it's more important. Janitor is just as important because how do you expect society to function if nothing is being cleaned? Please don't let money dictate how important a job is in society, because those are all just what society want you to believe in, not what you should believe in.
I also want to mention that, although it is good to follow your dream, you should also have a financial backup or some sort of plan to fall back on in case your dream doesn't work out. The reality is that, yes, chasing your dream is important, but you also have to be logical and reasonable about the choices you make in life due to financial responsibility. You still have to eat, sleep, and need a roof over your head. How do most people accomplish those basic needs? They work at a job they hate so they can use that money to do the things they enjoy. That's the key here.
A lot of people seem to expect that we magically are supposed to find this perfect job that has the perfect schedule, perfect pay, perfect everything, but in reality it's often the opposite of that. Life doesn't work that way. That's why we often end up with a job we hate so we can use that money we make to pursue our own dream that we're truly passionate about.
It's good to chase your dream, but you also have to be realistic about it too. Telling our children they're going to be the next Leonardo da Vinci and paint the next Mona Lisa is just unrealistic. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's just the chance of failing way exceeds succeeding. So you want to have some sort of backup plan to cover that high marginal fail rate in case it doesn't work out for you, you know? I hope this helps folks out there.
Thank you for sharing this. 🙏
Every store needs a "no bra money, no sock money" sign
hey Paul is still alive.. waiting for Season 2 #beef
I knew he looked familiar! lol thanks it was killing me lol.
This is so cool! I've been following William on Twitter for a while and was curious about Good Boy. Just wasn't really sure where I could watch it since I'm from Germany. Now seeing him here on Wong Fu is great. I just can't thank Wong Fu enough for giving young Asian-American creators a platform here to showcase their work with the world :)
That guy from BEEF!
This short film is really good. I got emotional and the end. The speech that the guy gave and the way he approached the baby. The way he says your life does not need to be decided now, it ours to make.
I feel this. What an emotional short film!
This is powerful! The story drew me in right from the start. I wanted it to keep going on even after it was finished.
I didn't know what to expect going into this, but I'm glad I watched the whole way through. The message hit deep and was very touching ❤
I didn't know I needed to watch this today. Thank you❤
What a cool and heartfelt short. High five to everyone involved!
Thank you for sharing 'Good Boy'! It means everything ☺
Love it!
Young is great. This was great!
LOVE THIS !!
Great acting and good concept, but I feel like the dol should have been more realistic or accurate or at least circumstances are more difficult choices.
The concept of a child of Asian parents being a "good boy" is very relatable.
The responsibilities and sacrifice of your own life to fill the needs of family is a good concept and in this case, it is focusing more on the dol.
The choice at 1 years old is a tradition. It doesn't actually mean anything, but can provide some guidance or significance as you get older.
It would have been great if the life choices of medical school vs something of actual value.
Then the dol choice guided him which it kind of is portrayed in the story. It did guide him to not want to go the "responsible/sacrifice self" and do his own thing.
But it should be his dream or goal of something vs medical school. Not this incredibly incredibly dumb decision.
At least make his boss not an @hole or make him co owner of the shop or have some stake in the shop.
In this context, Kim works as a mistreated employee at a brick and mortar shop selling shoes and clothes with 0 stake with pretty much nothing to gain.
Like this made me so annoyed at how dumb the choices were. The guy gave up medical school to work front desk and a store where the boss is an @hole.
It's not like Kim is a partner or has a stake in this shop and is starting a business. He was literally at risk of being fired same day if he didn't produce the shirts.
It's like he had a choice between nothing vs medical school and he chose nothing.
You can say oh he doesn't want to go to medical school and he wants to make shirt designs.
This doesn't justify giving up a career path. He can do both as he literally made some in under 3 hours.
Now he has nothing and can be fired same day if the client doesn't like the design
There's a lot more you can argue for and against this, but the scenarios just made me so annoyed at what happened.
I do like the concept
when he opened his eyes i had to pause and look for his imdb page, i couldn't wait for the filme to finish to confirm he was in beef 🤭🤭
Young designer Mazino!!
Such a moving story! I wanted to know what he was originally gonna pick before his mother interfered!
AMAZING SUCH SUCH relatable
Hello! May I ask what color filter you use for this film? (the blue tint?) It looks really well made! Thank you
Awesome
❤❤❤❤
I always found the concept of a dol really cool, but yeah, it puts a lot of pressure on an infant for the rest of their lives. It's like how parents choose your future but they tell you it was your choice.
PLEASE tell me where I can get the shirt from!!
Young Mazino ❤❤❤
where can i cop the tshirt
Keep up these indies
wow
👏
Choe bros
Hey it’s Paul from Beef
Beef vibes cause of young mazino
hmm a lil forced
No it’s not ok. This is some dumbest shit i’ve seen. Who in their right minds dump their hopkins med school for staying in some clothing designing shop? My parents wouldve beaten me to death. Dol’s choice don’t mean u must chase it, but do u know how hard life is without the income? This is both foolish and irresponsible. The world is realistic. People just regret it afterwards. I don’t like this.
Truly spoken like a brainwashed asian american kid
I think in this case it's more realistic cause it seems the parents have money and they speak english/are well adjusted etc. so they're not dependent on their kids... I have happily deferred my artist dreams so I can help my parents first with a stable income, but I think other families that are a few generations ahead have more leeway, and also have the luxury of choice.
This is a very valid experience still unique to Asian Americans because it seems no matter well off your family becomes, that pressure of prestige and traditional jobs, and kids respect and desire to make their parents proud will always exist and can come into conflict.
He wasn't in, he was just applying. There's no guarantee that he would have gotten in. And the film cuts off, so we don't see the parent fall out, but he's bigger than both of his parents and could shrug their abuse off and leave. The character wasn't doing anything he wanted, he was just trying to live up to expectations. His life wasn't his own. He was claiming it back.
Way to miss the point
@@SirAgravaineNo he got into the medical program as shown in the short.
It didn't show abuse from the parents. Just expectations.
The goal was to show him taking control of his life and making his own decisions, but it was an extremely dumb decision
It could have been medical school vs his dreams or goals, but instead
it was medical school vs dream of being front desk receptionist at a store where his boss treats him like trash
@@SmileB4uDieI think he was using the store was a stepping stone to launch his own brand called Good Boy.
Oh snap it’s the dude from beef
