    One of the saddest things is when two people really get to know each other: their secrets, their fears, their favourite things, what they love, what they hate, literally everything, and then they go back to being strangers. It's like you have to walk past them and pretend like you never knew them, never ever talked to them before, when really, you know everything about them.

    It brings me so much joy that this short film is still resonating in 2020. Our world is completely different now, but emotions are timeless. Some return here for nostalgia because it makes them think about someone special (who might be a stranger now). Some watched this as young naive kids/teens and now understand the story differently because they're older. And some are here for the first time. It's a really incredible feeling as a creator to see this project live on and evolve with time. Thank you all. - philip

      I’m 16 almost 17 and I just went through my first break up literally yesterday. We were each others first love but I’m in my senior year of high school and she’s a freshman in college she said she doesn’t feel as happy anymore and that we are at different points in our lives. As much as I didn’t want to accept it she was right. I thought we should’ve broken up too but I didn’t have the strength to do so. My heart hurts so much right now the day after we broke up. I would also like to mention that we never met, we met on line and have been FaceTime for 6 months (waiting till we can meet) but Ig the universe didn’t have that in store for us. I will always love her and the moments we had

    On this day, "Strangers, again" is 3 years old. It's incredible to see how viewers are still responding to it, and how it's affected peoples' lives over this time. Watching it now, compared to back then, many of you have a new understanding of the same video. Our work evolves as you do, and that's really amazing to us.

      Wong Fu you're right... I have a new understanding of this video after this year when I went through my first relationship. Back then I didn't quite understand why this was so popular, but now I see it. It's so realistic...and it's comforting to know that many people feel the same way. It feels good to not be alone sometimes.

      Being on the other side is also not easy. Breaking up with someone, even if the relationship was toxic, will always leave you with the though "Did i do the right thing?". You forget everything bad and your mind only focus on the good memories and this hurts. But eventually you'll heal. Some days are better than the others, but with time everything will be fine. Even if the person is with someone else, nothing can change the moments you had together.

      and unlike relationships, being "frienddumped" isn't talked about at large even though friendships form our rudimentary knowledge and expections about love. Friends are the folks who you rely on to help you during the aftermath of a messy breakup. What happens when those supports are missing? Or never there to begin with?

    When I first saw this video years ago, I was in a good relationship that started to go south ... eventually leading to a terrible breakup. I cried my eyes out over her for months, started drinking a lot and she wanted to get back together at some point and I said no, because I know it was just not going to end up working out. About 6 months afterward I met a girl while I wasn't even looking and we hit it off. It's now been 6 years and we just got married in February. Our life is great, we never fought or argued until just a few days ago and I could have prevented it if I did what I promised. Now watching this video as a newly-wed man I remember the pain I went through years ago and I'm reminded that I need to never stop trying! If I stop trying, she will stop trying, and we will eventually go downhill. I love her with all my heart and this video reminds me of the consequences that can happen if I take her for granted. Anyone reading this please remember, don't take your partner for granted. There is always somebody out there looking to take what you have. Try hard and let your partner know that YOU are the BEST option for them and nobody will love them the way that you do! Love is a terrible thing to lose.

      I remember watching this video 4 years ago. Shortly after this same exact thing happened with my ex and I. I just remember watching this telling myself, "why? Why couldn't I have changed that comfortable stage into a positive instead of dreading the inevitable". I have never been so moved by a short like this did. I mean it has so many real and deep lessons we can all learn about human connection. Needless to say I first saw this and cried for what seemed like was going to be an eternity.
      I remember even showing this to my ex and telling her that I'm sorry I didn't do better at certain points in our relationship. This video depicts such a common plague of young healthy relationships, complacency. It is an amazing cautionary tale. The frozen yogurt and piggy back rides dwindling down to dessert for one, the 4am late night talks end with 10pm good nights without an "I love you", not picking your phone up right away putting everything else before her. The writing and concept is absolutely brilliant. I want to thank you guys for making this and for this lesson being etched into my brain. I'm a fan of all your work and this will always have a special place in my heart.
      I watched it again today , 4 years after the lowest point of my life, and I was surprised to feel that same emotion. It wasn't sadness about my ex but it was acceptance. This video helped me accept the things happening to me that I couldn't control or rather no longer fix to make better.
      Today I'm so happy to be with there person I love dearly and I can honestly say that I wouldn't mentally be here at this point without such an amazing video to teach me this perspective of love. I know I'm one of 15 million views but if it means anything at all to you guys, I just want to convey how grateful I am to you for connecting such a positive message through this brilliant artwork of the human condition to some 18 year old kid who didn't know any better.

    "We are no longer born into an era where, if something is broken, you fix it. Instead, now, you throw it out because you can afford to get a new one" Love is work. Even when its going well you should still be working on it and yourself and your relationship, bettering it. Because if you only start doing that when it's falling apart... you have nothing to fall back on. there is no reason though to give up on it. Even if it's hard. you felt those feelings once. you can feel them again. For those people regretting. You could have tried harder. Admit it. But you didn't. You could have done better. But you didn't. And maybe at the time you didn't realize it. Maybe at the time you didn't see what you could have done, maybe you should have been more forgiving, more loving, more supportive, less angry, tried harder to talk, tried harder to be with them. To make your feelings known. Don't make the same mistakes. Learn. better yourself. you don't find your future, you need to make it. Go out there, be bold. Winning an argument isn't as important as loving your partner, and making sure they're okay. sometimes it helps to swallow mean words and just let things go. Sometimes admitting your wrong is really really important. Sometimes taking the time to really be with them hundred percent to just love them is really important. Sometimes just telling them plainly your feelings for them is what's needed even if you feel vulnerable and unloved yourself, make an effort even if they don't, someone's got to lead, and if you do, it could just be the saving grace for your relationship. Be the difference even when your shot down, or hurt, or feel unloved. It's hard, it really really is, and you may not want to, you may be waiting on them to first, but your pride and short-lived pain aren't worth the love of your life. Ever. Nothing is. I would know. Just because its broken, doesn't mean it can't be fixed. Just because pieces are missing, doesn't mean you love them any less. It's not worth losing that special person in your life. Sometimes all it takes is a loving word when you feel like been mean. BE the Change.

      Aprikosen Klang I think the answer to your question is better answered with a question. Are you BOTH trying to improve the situation?
      Are you both trying to better yourselves for each other and sitting down to talk openly about why you keep hurting each other and how to prevent that? If the answer is no to any or all of these then i suggest you do that.
      The point to give up and walk away would be the point in which the other person has given up already and there is no improvement been done on their end even though you have talked about it and you are trying to improve the situation and yourself for them. It is when the other person has stopped trying even when you still are that you need to take a step back and say. Have i talked about this with them? are they working to improve this? have they proved they care enough to keep fighting for this?
      If the answer is no. Then maybe it is time to let go.
      But in all honesty even if you hurt each other constantly, If you are both working toward making that better and trying to fix it so it doesnt happen and bettering yourselves so it doesnt keep happening then there is no logical reason to give up just because your going through a rough patch where your both hurting each other. My boyfriend and i have been there numerous times and when we realize this is getting unbearable and something needs to change we sit down and talk very openly about what keeps happening and what hurts each other and then come up with compremises and decide to change things together so that it doesnt keep happening.
      If anyone has ever told you that your love should just accept you for who you are because you are good enough, lied. YOU should constantly be bettering yourself and learning and growing with your significant other. CONSTANTLY. I mean the whole reason we go from been really good together to been in hell is because we naturally change and we change because we learn new things everyday, and in order for us to both adapt to that change within us and each other we need to be honest and open about that. Things that might not have hurt us a month ago now hurts us. Things that didnt get on our nerves now get on our nerves. Things that seemed harmless last time dont seem so harmless now.
      See? So if you find your hurting each other constantly and your relationship just seems to be spiraling downward. Try sitting down with them, been kind, and open, letting them see you vulnerable, and tell them what hurts you and why, talk with them not out of anger or pain but out of love and patients. Ask if there is anything you can change so that you dont hurt them as much or to make them feel more loved or important to you. Ect. Don't make it just about you but each other as a couple.
      Express your love or care for them and tell them you dont want to hurt them and that you need them to help you learn to better care for them so that doesn't happen.
      Expressing change with love and kindness can help the both of you tremendously.
      In my own opinion though, the only point when you give up is when the other person stops trying for you. when they stop caring, when the relationship and you. are no longer important to them. And then it is not you giving up but rather getting rid of a toxic relationship in which you have tried to bring about change and asked them to help and they did not.
      hope that helps! If you would like to message me privetly and talk about this further, or have any other questions.
      i am available to listen whenever.

    I really like that you didn't do the typical audience-pleasing happy ending everyone wants/expects, where the guy makes some big, romantic gesture to show that he still loves her and suddenly everything is better and people assume they're together forever after the video. I mean, he did try to fix things after their fight, but it didn't magically fix everything and make them perfectly happy again. This is so raw, and real, and uncensored. The emotions you portray are real emotions that people feel, and understand in real relationships. The ending was not a "they'll be together" or "they'll break up" guarantee. Just the 2 talking about the possibilities, and facing the reality of where they are as a couple now. So, awesome job on this video, it's amazing :)

    Did you see the ending of their relationship? No, not stage 7 break up, but the part where the guy ran after her while she was in her car just to be the bigger person by letting go of his pride and apologizing because the relationship is much more valuable than trying to be the one who's always right. Its actually about not giving up just because things are at stage 6, Downhill. You DON'T have to be strangers again but you gotta be strong enough to keep trying just as Phil apologized and Kathy forgave. Never forget that stage 7 could be getting married, not breaking up.

    I remember watching this as a 14 year old completely inexperienced in relationships. 9 years later I come back to this video and reflect on how accurate this is! Some relationships last forever. And some relationships end for the best.
    Sometimes the person that meant so much to you isn’t the right person for you. You grow apart and you realize it’s best for you two to go separate ways. You accept the break up and move forward. Rekindling is never guaranteed and you will eventually become strangers again.

    I remember watching this in middle school when I proclaimed myself as some sort of hopeless romantic or something along those lines. I told myself I'd always run after the girl after a fight when I grew up and had a relationship because I thought that's what should be done. Well, the unfortunate part is that middle school me never thought about how hard it is to have a relationship, how after so long together with someone creates a certain level of resentment that - if left unaddressed - will destroy the relationship over time; like water eroding the earth. So many fights later and now I'm here. One hundred miles away from home (not too far in the grand scheme of things) and realizing that I'm no longer happy in my relationship. Every visit led to a fight. Doesn't matter who started it, only that damage has been done and I don't think either of us is willing to repair it. I suppose finding this video again made me realize that it's time to let go. I don't know. It's three in the morning here and it's just sad boy hours but I think getting this off my chest helps my swallow the reality of the situation I guess?

Well somehow this past year we started tolerating eachother. And before I knew it we reached the last two stages almost all at once. Last night, after 5 years and 3 months, he decided it was too routine, and he didn't want to continue on, or even try fixing it. And it ended. And all I could think about was this video. I don't know what's in store for us now, but rewatching this has both caused me to sob uncontrollably, and give me some type of reassurance that things will be alright eventually. ;)

I was a selfish person, she was such a caring, innocent, and cute girl who had sacrificed a lot for me. How I wish I proposed to her earlier, or made changes for her when she still believed in me. I let her down too many times until a point that no matter what I do, she just can't trust me anymore. I regret and hate myself. Never take your loved one for granted, she's human too..when she's had enough, you are the one who will regret the rest of your life. I love you, Summer.

Though I didn't get what I hope for every single time. I still hate myself for letting her go, there is just too much memory between us. I'm trying hard to stay positive and improve myself, picking up new hobbies, doing things that I was afraid or reluctant to do. Hopefully one day when I bump into her, we will at least say hi to each other. Anyway, I hope you will be fine, all the best! =D

      I do not really understand people who start relationship with someone they are not planning on marrying at some point and growing old with. I mean, if it was all about sex then....what does it say about the person, or both of them. Nothing good if you ask me. Pointless relationship.
      I know people make mistakes and that you can not really know if things will work out or not, but what happened to respect? What happened to loyalty? Is it really that hard to just say sorry I was wrong lets try to better ourselves, I want to grow old with you?
      In a relationship you let yourself be vulnerable. You let that other person be your other half, they literally have the power (that you gave them) to ruin you. And how can you just pretend it never happened. It just does not hit me....
      What is the point of relationships then? Is it not better to just be "friends with benefits" and be just like every other basic guy or basic girl out there?
      I do not know.

      Vladimir Roganovic I have a friend that keeps saying maybe I should stay with this guy. Maybe I’ll learn to love him. She started seeing a guy she didn’t really like but because she had no one she was telling herself maybe on day I’ll grow feelings. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Basically she was just lonely and using this guy thinking she will grow feelings. Ugh

    I’ve watched this 4 times, once as a little kid only thinking about how wong fu productions was one of the coolest UA-cam channel ideas. Second while I was in a relationship thinking, it’s sad how people grow apart, that’ll never happen to us. Third, a short amount of time after breakup, thinking, if only I prevented it from going bad just like how he showed us he could have done. And once many years later when we both probably haven’t thought about each other for a while, yet this brings up the good and the bad, the challenging and the best parts. It’s not easy being just grateful and nothing else, but I’m not in denial anymore. Life may seem unfair at times, but it’s comforting that we have these experiences in common to connect and grow.

I'm single, and nobody I've dated has ever really liked me for who I was, so, to be honest, I have no idea of what it's like to be in the later stages. But, I think that it's nice to just come back to this every so often and grin because this is one of my favourite Wong Fu shorts. Thanks, Wong Fu, for making this.

      Like everyone who's emotionally attached to Strangers Again, I'm coming back here in the middle of watching Strangers Never Again... and I honestly forgot I left a comment here in the first place. I think about Strangers Again a lot, and I truly do think it was one of the first short films that ever really resonated with me when I was younger. Truth be told, when I left my first comment here, I was so young and so naive. That boyfriend and I lasted for a year and a half, and it took me another year and a half to let go when he broke up with me. I'm now dating a woman and soon, it will be OUR year and a half anniversary. I am older, wiser, and a little more cynical about the world, and it's crazy to think I've been here since 2012 (even though I didn't leave a comment the first time I watched this). I guess, for me, life got better and then it got worse. Up, down, then up and down again. Somehow, I now know less about myself than I thought I did, but I'm managing to find pockets of time in my life to step back and marvel at how far I've come. And even if I'm not happy all the time, I sure am proud of how much I've learned and changed.

    I have a love hate going on for this film. I love it because it gives me a coping mechanism. It tells me that through it all I'm alright in the end. I hate it because it somehow dictates how my relationship would be like. It tells me that it's either this or that. I've based my relationship on this film and right now I'm regretting it. It's not either or. There's always a middle ground where you find yourself happy despite the arguments and despite the fear. If you love each other then it shouldn’t be about the stages. It's about the journey. It's about what you two are able to go through given the circumstances. Don't worry about the stages. Don't worry about what the future holds. Enjoy the present and live life. I hate that I have used this film to dictate my love life. I wish I didn't. And maybe, just maybe I would be in a different circumstance.

Sometimes you just have to accept what life gives you either it's good or bad they is always a way to get back together even thou you broken up love is complex sometimes it's a journey of mystery for others but the journey has began when you meant that person it's hard but you will figure it out when you single not all love begun with a happy ending some are darker then this but sometimes you have to give up for the both of you ❤️💔

Now, after about a year of being single, I am with a new guys, 4 months going strong so far. We can only hope that it stays as strong as we want it to because he makes me feel a thousand times better than what I felt with my ex.

      @@kijoosong2478 We don't know if he's sexist... he's just using the language he knows to express what he is feeling. Maybe we could focus on the empath part and encourage him for sharing his feelings. Men are allowed to have and share feelings, and should not be constrained or judged from doing so. A little girl cries, and so little boys. The only difference is that we don't accept or validate when little boys cry, which leads to assuming only little girls cry, which is a lie, of course. If we really want to evolve we need to grow out of shame blaming, passing to encouraging enveryone to understand what's happening. Because if we keep just shaming people that might not be aware or that make mistakes, we are only polarizing sides and feeding hate. And that is how we are where we are.
      And if there's anytihng here, in my words, that you don't agree with, please let me know, honestly, i'm also learning, i'm also growing and trying to get out of all these concepts and ideas, even the ones I still don't know I have.
      @Marco? Thank you for sharing this. TO be in touch with what you feel and share it, takes courage. I can't say what would happen with you, but I can share from my experience and for all my friends that went through something similar, give yourself time to heal back, seriously. And what helped me, was to learn from the past relations and learn a lot about Emotional Intellence and Relationships. There are a lot fo good books, that already saved me some headaches, prevented some mistakes and helped me learn and understand what happened in the past relations that "didn't work". Take care =)
