    That male actor was brilliant with his acting! The first scene already moves me by how natural and emotional he is. He potrayed it very well. The little girl was good as well as Marianne. The shots were excellent together with the bgm! Excellent video once again! Great job!

  • @jonathanleebh

    To be honest, The "Joe" in the video is good at acting, he had the emotion and feel in his character. 9/10. great job though

    great acting by Ivan Chan. No awkwardness, obvious script memorising... etc. Natural and relatable.

  • @rendyandrian7149
    @rendyandrian7149 8 років тому

    On the outside, this is a sad story. The color, sound, and acting support this sad story. On the other hand, there are many happiness on this. Eg: a man who cares about his client happiness, a faithful husband who loves his wife despite her being blind, a loving wife, a successful daughter who loves and takes care of her parent, etc. Good job Jared.

    This hit so close to home. My mom and dad were first generation immigrants. My dad died when I was three due to lymphoma. He worked really hard and his workplace was full of carcinogens. I sometimes attribute his early death to the lifestyle he led in order to provide my family with a better future. I wish I had more time with him always.
