Wongfu is just amazing, same with all these other hidden talents who just aren't given opportunities into making bigger films. Most of these Hollywood films nowadays have almost no meaning or new idea, We need more people like Wongfu with actual ideas & purpose in their films rather than just marketing techniques to actually steer our film industries.
I find that the majority of hollywood romance consists of cheap rom coms (though not all are bad, I've heard Ferris Bueller's Day Off is really good) and very few actual dramas that is alike to wong fu (only one I can think off the top of my head is The Notebook, and it's not similar to anything like wong fu at all)
Yeah, so is, "I don't love you anymore." or "I don't know if I ever loved you." I got both from the same woman. Not easy, especially when they know you've loved them for years.
+TheFellowYellow Always the feels for Wong Fu! It's their openness to challenging the norm that I love though - Kudos for offering a different perspective to the prescribed boy-meets-girl idealistic fantasy. Phil's objectiveness is so realistic and refreshing, addressing real life issues of practicality that are conventionally portrayed as only being of secondary importance to 'love'. (also kev J, thefellowyellow, leendaD, vincent chan - holy shit never stumbled upon so many youtubers commenting in one place.. feel like i'm in on a secret hahah)
Jay Dee Very well said. I completely agree. And I really hope the "message" in the video doesn't get applied in the wrong way by making people feel like they should stay in a harmful relationship/situation that they should choose to get out of.
ugh THANK YOU. Finally someone said it. My mom has been telling me for years that the thing that makes love work is choice; constantly choosing to love the other person, even when things get difficult. That's why so many marriages end today; people give up on one another because it's easier than choosing to love them despite the flaws. My mom always said that marriage is difficult, there will be moments when you fall out of love and the feelings fade, but if you choose to keep working at it and you choose to remember why you loved the person in the first place, the feelings will come back, and stronger than ever.
Couldn't have said it better🙌🙌🙌🙌 people assume love is all romantic and happy 24-7. Real love is sacrifice and commitment, even when the feelings fade.
OfTheseDaydreams My mom never really talked about "love" or even really mentioned the word "love" to me although we talk about everything from friendships, relationships to marriage. Strangely, I've never thought of the word "choice" when talking about love. Perhaps there aren't enough people around me who I'm actually comfortable enough to even talk about "love." But I enjoyed the short film as much as I enjoyed reading your thoughts on it. Brings a new light to how I see love now. If ever I do meet someone or start to date someone, I'd keep it in mind. Thanks for sharing :)
Constantly choosing to love, that's what makes it enough. But it has to be both people choose love. Once one chooses out, everything goes away.. sadly, nothing much you can do
this videos are so good, even i think so, i have never loved before so i dont know what any of these people go through, but even so it hits you in the feels
i love the girl... she just got into it super natural... and she is meant to be the main lead... coose her to be your mail female lead for your next series Phil....
This isn't really new for Phil. He's done a bunch of films in the past that take an introspective look at relationships. Strangers Again, The Last, After Us, to name a few. Wes and Phil both make thoughtful, deep films. However, their communication styles are different. It's quite interesting actually, because you can totally see their personalities reflected in their choices. Wes' films take a slower pace, often have a dream-like quality (he himself seems to often be deep in thought/dream), not too dialogue heavy and uses visual moments to paint the story. Whereas Phil tends to craft his films around dialogue, leans toward drama (not calling you a drama-queen!) and captures emotions of a moment to write the story. It's part of why Wong Fu works - each of the members balance one another out to be a super strong team that can craft stories that resonate and move us.
A woman goes to the gynecologist for an exam. She puts her feet into the stirrups and the doctor begins his exam. After a moment, he says, "You have an unusually deep vagina." The woman replies, "You don't have to say it twice." The doctor says, "I didn't."
It's so strange how "I love you" can mean different things not TO different people, but WITH different people. I can easily tell my friends I love them with no hesitance. But I can't say the same words with my family, because with them it's harder to tell how much they love me back or how much more they love me than I do for them. Likewise, I can't express those same words to those I have feelings for. Do three words really sum up how one feels about certain others?
With my family we have an unspoken love where we care so much about each other that we don't need to say I love you. With my girlfriends/boyfriends it's like I want to say I love you to let them know hey I am here for you just as if you were my family, thick and thin.
You're kind of lucky that way. It's pretty much impossible to say, "I love you." to a loose knit, and estranged family. It's almost impossible to believe in love when the last person who called you, "The love of their life", made you homeless and marries your (former) best friend, or when you get used as the surrogate emotional boyfriend, but you're the wrong color to be the actual bf. I say almost, because there is someone who loves me,. just as much as I love her, but she's still healing from a highly abusive relationship, and I love her enough to wait. She's one of my closest and dearest friends. Her's might be the one real love I'll ever know in this life. So, love them if you've got them, it's not as common as we'd like to think. : )
I'm sorry to hear that, and I completely relate to the family part. It's an entirely different challenge in itself to say "I love you" to someone who doesn't love you back, or stops loving you in the end. But I don't think you have to wait before letting her know how much you love her. In fact, I think if you tell that special someone how much you love them, it'll speed up that recovery so much faster. Just show her how much you care, in bits and pieces or with a big hug. Love her as much and often as you can because it makes a big difference. : )
Tears started falling after that first look of hers. I knew exactly where this story was going. I'm that girl. I'm the girl in love with my best friend, but he sees love the way this guy does. He's given up. He moved away from me and yet we still talk almost everyday on the phone. For hours even. He cares for me, but it wasn't enough. I'm that girl. And it breaks my heart. (But besides my tears, this video was once again, excellent. I love everything you guys do.)
People don't know what "Love" really is anymore. The idea of Love has become so twisted in this world, now when people say it, all they mean is "I lust you, what can I get for myself before we end our relationship" ..
Same with Marriage. People are getting married and divorce without even thinking about what marriage actually is. It should be a bond for life, it should be taken seriously and words not be spoken lightly.
Take a look at TED-Ed's "What is love?". To briefly summarize, love is too abstract to define. People will have a different perspective on life, and the the world around you. What you feel what love should be is not necessarily what the next guy thinks. Nor can you claim that one type of love is better than the next, because there is no proper definition of love. When we "define" love, we can only compare it to other aspects in life. For example, one might say "love is all you need". Would that mean love is more important than security? Your health? Your sanity? This is not to say that the current generation of relationships seem to revolve around "lust", and that I personally think it's bad, but you must understand that maybe that's how they view love. Maybe that's what they truly believe what love is worth. I'm not asking you to change your perspective on love, because I think that what you believe in is noble, but I just want you to understand that what you believe in, is something
Love isn't selfish. I love you is enough before all those things you described. I love you is enough before you think love is about someone magically being your perfect match, causing you never ceasing butterflies, meeting all your emotional needs. It's enough when love isn't about your pursuit of happiness. I know I'm picky. I wonder if it's fair, I wouldn't pick myself, I imagine something better. But at least when I choose I'll choose alright... And that will be my final choice. I love you will be enough. No cheating, no sitting through musicals.
One beautiful example of Wongfu’s magical era. A time of short, deep videos. The ones that left you with that lingering feeling, lost for words. Before the funny skits, series and big ideas. There was silence. There was this. There was awe. And I’ll be forever grateful for videos like this.
From skit to another, I keep telling myself, there's no way they can make something bettter than that.... then another skit pops up that's just as equally good if not better... Wong fu are such a crazy creative company, I'd love to work with them one day... But until that day, I'm just going to keep watching their amazing skits, and support them in any way possile, because they have a dream, and they're living it. Way to go!
True love looks like this: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres
** Love is still a choice- (a self- sacrificial one) because humans are inherently sinful and its hard to pour ourselves into committing to someone else. Paul was single, but he still encouraged people to get married if they needed it. However, he said that for him personally, he needed to be single in order to focus on God. If that isn't true commitment of CHOICE, I don't know what is. ; )
I hope to find a partner someday to share these kinds of seep thoughts. I feel like most people I meet want to talk about superficial things or not dive deep enough into thoughtful and provoking topics like these.
oh phil :( I feel like I can tell through your acting just how personal this was for you because I don't think I have ever seen you present yourself on camera with such a heavy heart. Thank you for sharing, it was beautiful.
Same! I was really triggered at first but started from the first ep. Now I'm addicted. The female lead is the most beautiful lady and I love the story and where they're trying to go!!
A girl just broke up with me after just 3 weeks. Though the time I spent with her was short or even trivial to some, she took a huge chunk of my heart after she said, "Let's just be friends" to me. I've never been this flustered with any girls before and sadly I was invested in her way too early. I genuinely cared and adored this beautiful girl...and now... I'm sitting here. Trying my best to mend things while hopelessly thinking that things might just go back to the way they were. This video...makes me think if words WERE enough...
iankobe Ok. first, i'm really sorry that you're hurting now. I know what it feels like to care so deeply for someone and it's just not reciprocated. But i'm going to try to give you some advice, as i came out of a similar situation not too long ago. (also i'm a stranger on the internet, so why the heck not) Take a step back. It's going to hurt like hell and things are going to suck for awhile. Not a lot is going to make sense, but you have to push through that because i promise there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Taking a step back is so important. I know all you might want to do right now is fix things, but remember that you can't make someone love you. You also need to respect that if she says just friends, that's probably all she needs right now. You didn't do anything wrong, she's just not in the best position to be in a relationship right now and it's better she realized that sooner rather than later. It might take a few weeks, or months, but you will get over her. I promise you will. and right now you might not want to get over her, but when you take that step back and allow yourself time, you'll see that it was for the best. She might change her mind later, but you also might change yours. You have good things in store and great people to meet and i promise it's not the end of the world, even though your insides might feel trampled right now. Just keep your chin up and you'll be fine.
Damn I've been in the same situation before so I think I know exactly how you are feeling. But after all those years of self recovery, I finally have convinced myself of the fact that hmm maybe what makes that girl so breathtaking is that I actually never have her. I mean hell yeah she still occupies a big part of my heart even purely friends but It doesn't matter anyway. Cheer Man!
OfTheseDaydreams thanks you :) Couldn't have said it better. You actually made my day better. I've been through the same situation but now am trying to get over her. Really hard to do so...
This hits my heartstrings. I once thought that after my past failed relationships that my love was flawed, how could I love the wrong person so much? But then I realized that my love is not flawed at all, but beautiful and precious and real, I was just choosing the wrong person to love. I was in love with the idea of being in love, not with the person I was with.
Then you keep asking for more until you realize the time u spent together is almost over and most likely in vain. And you can't bare to think that the love was one sided.
+Ventura Times YEAH, and I'm 14. Good thing I fucking know that. Damn. I mean.....I was aware of it but didn't fully realize it. Fuck. This hit me hard because as of now I am struggling so hard just to get an I love you from her. (Don't worry we've got our grades stable and good and I already have my future planned) Fuck, I'm scared.
it MAY be common but at the end of the day who says this is the start all end all relationships are what we make of them don't look to other relationships and be scared but look to them and learn how you could be a better lover or other things you can do with your partner #justmytwocents
As terrifying as adult relationships are, take solace from the fact that your life will not solely be defined by nor revolve around romantic relationships, regardless of whether they succeed or fail. There is more to life than "finding the one" or "settling down". You can do great things even if you're "alone", and even when you're "alone" you don't necessarily have to be lonely when you have meaningful and supportive relationships with family, friends, and coworkers. Instead of worrying about finding and keeping love, just live life with the intention of experiencing all it has to offer and don't close yourself because you're afraid of getting hurt or doing the wrong thing. We all go through similar life experiences---it's a privilege to feel, so just take it all in. Just live.
YESSS!! Finally, a definite, spoken opinion in a love and relationships Wongfu and I even agree with it wholeheartedly. With my 14 year relationship that includes our past 11 years of marriage, I assert that love truly is a CHOICE. Constantly choosing. Well done, I loved this video and I loved that the resolution was in a question rather than a final kiss.
People have often said that I was married too young (at 19). But when I see films like this, I can't help but feel like I dodged a bullet. I have only loved two guys in my life, my first boyfriend and my husband. My first was a real jerk and devastated my heart. Used and abused. My husband came in later and we became friends. Friendship turned to love. He even came to my prom. We knew we didn't want to be apart although I was planning on going to New Zealand for 6 months, so we got married and headed out there after saving up for his passage. It delayed my plans but it was by far one of the most beautiful experiences we had as husband and wife. We chose us.
I've been in love ...well still am but I can say its not just words its bettering yourself for you and your partner growing together as one and caring for one another, ultimately the one I love ended it about 5 months ago I still reminisce because of how much he influenced me to become a better version of myself I believe that's why I have a hard time of letting go and moving on, but I can honestly say love comes with the good and the bad both equally helping u grow.
@@mishasalykova8482 i did and shes everything and more than i can ask for. She taught me its okay to let go, have individuality, be confident in myself, lol shes me tbh, i guess the love i was looking for all these years was within me. Thank you for checking up on me ☺️
I remember these videos used to incite strong emotions in me a few months back, I loved watching them. I didn't feel a damn thing watching this one. This after realizing that there is no person that can fill the role 'the one' to anyone. For every person you love right now, there are millions of other people that can take their place given the right circumstances. It's not worth the grief to believe that a single person can make us happy, we have to learn to be happy with ourselves.
"Written & Directed by Philip Wang" Smooth, Phil, perfect way to get yourself a kiss, write it in the script and play the part of the character who gets kissed ;P
Although the concept is bang on, the dialogue still needs work--seems unnatural in diction and in flow. But I love how you guys keep growing with each and every video, never stagnant, always exploring, and ever becoming just a tad better than the last time we saw you.
This is such a powerful video. If it only was THAT easy to stay in love like it is to say 'I love you'. This has really touched a sensitive spot in me as everyone, including me always worry if the words 'I love you' truly reflects how the other person feels about you. Love truly IS a complicated thing. I really enjoy these videos, you guys are amazing at how well you talk about even the deepest feelings and situations we go through.
This is so true! True love is a choice, when your not looking for what you can get out of the other person, but what you can give. Then it is unconditional, if your looking for what you can give, then whatever he or she does cannot change how much you love them...it's unconditional. BUT knowing when and who to love is just as important. Too many people give their hearts away before knowing if the other person is someone who will protect and cherish it.
I cannot believe I did not find this channel sooner I absolutely love it. It is real life real people real situations and real solutions. I think the most complex thing about us human beings is our ability to choose and the power of will! Just amazing stuff.
Yeah, I like Wong Fu's grasp of reality instead of sugarcoating relationship! Sugar coated relationship stories are for comedy. Reality hits. How about doing about one -sided love
JohnnyLoco27 Who says you can't find happiness through Jesus? Happiness is relative. Jesus provides and redefines our own personal definition of happiness. :)
The Tiger Psy Co.™ Me. He is dead if he ever existed at all. I don't want to devote my whole life to please jesus to get into heaven. I'd rather be a good person and enjoy life as much as I can, without him.
After watching this video I asked myself, “when were the words I love you not enough?” After giving it much thought, I realized that sometimes love isn't enough when you begin to question your feelings for the person. This is especially true when you get older and think about everything you have been through with the person.
Damn that video hit hard. Very beautiful. It's us falling for the idea of love, not loving the person we truly stand with. Love may just be words, but it's how we treat those words, that's what really matters. Thank you As Always Stay Sexy. - Love Bedtime
I think I watched a few videos from you 10 years ago, and I wasn't impressed, but lately, I've been discovering your work all over again, and damn, was I so wrong back then. Your short stories are so well written. You guys are tremendously talented, and you definitely deserve recognition from outside of the asian-american community!
when your heart is broken and the word ''i love you'' doesn't mean anything to you anymore, womans have to know when a man's heart is broken you have to work 10 times more harder to build that friendship/relationship strong and be with him all the times and stay with him side by side no matter what happens and then when the time is right you go and tell him how you feel about him. because when a heart is broken he doesn't care anymore and he won't listen to your words because he will think your playing with him and he's going to be angry as hell trust me he will so for all you womans out there if you have a lover that is broken stay by his side always and prove your friendship with him
WHOA. Since when did Phil's acting become so good? Leveled up like a hundred points! Kudos Wong Fu. This felt new, fresh. Didn't seem like your usual relationship romance videos. You've grown once again, and it's amazing to see your progress. I feel like I've seen a new side to your work :) And this just made my heart melt. Emotions all over T-T
It's this kind of videos that makes me follow WFP for years now! And it's amazing how much it's grown! It keeps getting better and better. You guys are so incredebly talented and I love every single work you've made so far.
when love doesn't hold two people together anymore...

I love bokeh
Can u make a one minute version of this?
straight up.. I think wong fu makes better romance films than the vast majority of hollywood.
For real tho. I just watched Everything Before Us and it was SO GOOD!
True!!!😭😭
Wongfu is just amazing, same with all these other hidden talents who just aren't given opportunities into making bigger films. Most of these Hollywood films nowadays have almost no meaning or new idea, We need more people like Wongfu with actual ideas & purpose in their films rather than just marketing techniques to actually steer our film industries.

Blue Valentine could be similar to wong fu in some ways? But I agree with you, majority of hollywood movies are just cheesy/cliché :/
Remember when "Pickachu I choose you" was enough? Now it means nothing...
JoeTalks real talk! ;)
I do!!!
you work with thefungbros right?
Heatblasts76 uh, maybe...(;
That was good! !!!! Lol
It's crazy to think that with each relationship we go through, our expectations are raised higher and higher....
Woojong True. But is that a bad thing?
Because after each failed relationship, you learned a bit more about of what you're not gonna put up with...
Thats why crazy old me got married at 20. Its hard anyway you slice it, i think.
I don't do relationshits so can't relate, sns.
True, to the point where we lose ourselves. Also to where conditional isn't always enough.
"I thought I loved you", is such a devastating thing to hear someone say.
It's painful but devastating? Nobody can have that power over your life.it should be liberating to know how someone truely feels about you....
Yeah, so is, "I don't love you anymore." or "I don't know if I ever loved you." I got both from the same woman. Not easy, especially when they know you've loved them for years.
Yeah that’s pretty harsh.
@@sterlingparmer1960 especially when you've been chasing after them for months only to hear "I do like u but only as friends"
Trues up
Before watching this, asking myself: Am I ready for da feels?
Nope, not ready.

constantly choosing to love is also constantly choosing to be vulnerable to pain...and sometimes you've hurt enough.

Choose your love
And love your choice
-Thomas S Monson
Two things about Wongfu's videos: 1) Deep 2) Always leave you hanging to write your own endings
Which is why I came to the comment section; to see what Phil chose…
One of the reasons why I like them so much. Open endings are always better.
Alaska McArthur Yes because you can choose an happy ending instead of the director choosing to crush your heart
No I want closure GODDAMIT
ugh THANK YOU. Finally someone said it. My mom has been telling me for years that the thing that makes love work is choice; constantly choosing to love the other person, even when things get difficult.

OfTheseDaydreams Amen!
OfTheseDaydreams This is probably why semi-arranged marriages last longer. The people involved "choose" to love the other despite the circumstances.
OfTheseDaydreams My mom never really talked about "love" or even really mentioned the word "love" to me although we talk about everything from friendships, relationships to marriage.

Well. Not watching Wong Fu in the middle of the night anymore. Duh feehlz
Lmao! I know right..same here!
sunwooooooo Time for a feel trip.
sunwooooooo so many feeeels
sunwooooooo Agreed
so many feels maaaaaaan ohmagawd what is sleep.
when the words "i love you" start to hold less and less meaning
everything falls apart
Oou. Dang that's deep
whats up with the anime profile pic lol
cause i like anime XD?
Because love is an action and a promise to do right by someone, not just empty words.
I say that all the time to express joy.. like to my food too. D: guess should stop doing that and use an alternative word instead
Constantly choosing to love, that's what makes it enough. But it has to be both people choose love. Once one chooses out, everything goes away.. sadly, nothing much you can do
Nina Tunas old music
Deep
Both has to choose love, constantly choosing to love, in both words and actions.

Philip is one deep man, like most of the videos that are deep were written by him.
you need to watch wes' shorts as well then lol
Shabduli Shinde agreed
he's indeed deep... just a dream man for every single girl out here
@@shabdulishinde3685 what’s wes short ??
Feels kind of like Wes' shorts, I like this new new style Phil is trying.
My thoughts exactly
This isn't really new for Phil. He's done a bunch of films in the past that take an introspective look at relationships. Strangers Again, The Last, After Us, to name a few.
Wes and Phil both make thoughtful, deep films. However, their communication styles are different. It's quite interesting actually, because you can totally see their personalities reflected in their choices. Wes' films take a slower pace, often have a dream-like quality (he himself seems to often be deep in thought/dream), not too dialogue heavy and uses visual moments to paint the story. Whereas Phil tends to craft his films around dialogue, leans toward drama (not calling you a drama-queen!) and captures emotions of a moment to write the story. It's part of why Wong Fu works - each of the members balance one another out to be a super strong team that can craft stories that resonate and move us.

Couldn't have said it better myself! :)
I agree with Joanne. I also just happen to like Phil's style more. I think his dialogue is more relatable.
Kyle B. nah you can totally tell it's phils. he's more about the dialogue, where as wes is more cinematography and symbols.
That was deep.

It's so strange how "I love you" can mean different things not TO different people, but WITH different people. I can easily tell my friends I love them with no hesitance. But I can't say the same words with my family, because with them it's harder to tell how much they love me back or how much more they love me than I do for them. Likewise, I can't express those same words to those I have feelings for. Do three words really sum up how one feels about certain others?

With my family we have an unspoken love where we care so much about each other that we don't need to say I love you. With my girlfriends/boyfriends it's like I want to say I love you to let them know hey I am here for you just as if you were my family, thick and thin.
totally agree
You're kind of lucky that way.
It's pretty much impossible to say, "I love you." to a loose knit, and estranged family.
It's almost impossible to believe in love when the last person who called you, "The love of their life", made you homeless and marries your (former) best friend, or when you get used as the surrogate emotional boyfriend, but you're the wrong color to be the actual bf.
I say almost, because there is someone who loves me,. just as much as I love her, but she's still healing from a highly abusive relationship, and I love her enough to wait. She's one of my closest and dearest friends.
Her's might be the one real love I'll ever know in this life.
So, love them if you've got them, it's not as common as we'd like to think. : )
I'm sorry to hear that, and I completely relate to the family part. It's an entirely different challenge in itself to say "I love you" to someone who doesn't love you back, or stops loving you in the end.
But I don't think you have to wait before letting her know how much you love her. In fact, I think if you tell that special someone how much you love them, it'll speed up that recovery so much faster. Just show her how much you care, in bits and pieces or with a big hug. Love her as much and often as you can because it makes a big difference. : )
Who else is here after watching the whole series of Yappie?!
yappie was after this. I'm confused is this episode a part of a series? Is it a prequal wtf! I need to know
Same
Jahleel Wasser it’s not connected whatsoever
Tears started falling after that first look of hers. I knew exactly where this story was going. I'm that girl. I'm the girl in love with my best friend, but he sees love the way this guy does. He's given up. He moved away from me and yet we still talk almost everyday on the phone. For hours even. He cares for me, but it wasn't enough. I'm that girl. And it breaks my heart.
(But besides my tears, this video was once again, excellent. I love everything you guys do.)
He replies" Nope, don't love you. Love Cathy" lol
Dam Phil, you grew up
DECturtle unfortunately. heh
pwangs it is inevitable :P
DECturtle Don't grow up, it's a trap.
+PianoHaiku Yasssss I got that Peter Pan reference 😆😆😆
People don't know what "Love" really is anymore. The idea of Love has become so twisted in this world, now when people say it, all they mean is "I lust you, what can I get for myself before we end our relationship" ..
I agree, people just throw it around now
+Snow x that is deep
Same with Marriage. People are getting married and divorce without even thinking about what marriage actually is. It should be a bond for life, it should be taken seriously and words not be spoken lightly.
Yep.Exactly!
Take a look at TED-Ed's "What is love?". To briefly summarize, love is too abstract to define. People will have a different perspective on life, and the the world around you. What you feel what love should be is not necessarily what the next guy thinks. Nor can you claim that one type of love is better than the next, because there is no proper definition of love. When we "define" love, we can only compare it to other aspects in life. For example, one might say "love is all you need". Would that mean love is more important than security? Your health? Your sanity? This is not to say that the current generation of relationships seem to revolve around "lust", and that I personally think it's bad, but you must understand that maybe that's how they view love. Maybe that's what they truly believe what love is worth. I'm not asking you to change your perspective on love, because I think that what you believe in is noble, but I just want you to understand that what you believe in, is something
"Constantly choosing to Love"... those words are priceless!
Love isn't selfish. I love you is enough before all those things you described. I love you is enough before you think love is about someone magically being your perfect match, causing you never ceasing butterflies, meeting all your emotional needs. It's enough when love isn't about your pursuit of happiness.
I know I'm picky. I wonder if it's fair, I wouldn't pick myself, I imagine something better. But at least when I choose I'll choose alright... And that will be my final choice. I love you will be enough. No cheating, no sitting through musicals.
Hey, I love you.. Hope it's enough. :)
is me saying "I loved the video" enough?
Courtney Wu if you constantly choose to love it ;P
"I love you was enough until you found out it wasn't" imo best line from this video
One beautiful example of Wongfu’s magical era. A time of short, deep videos. The ones that left you with that lingering feeling, lost for words. Before the funny skits, series and big ideas. There was silence. There was this. There was awe. And I’ll be forever grateful for videos like this.
From skit to another, I keep telling myself, there's no way they can make something bettter than that.... then another skit pops up that's just as equally good if not better... Wong fu are such a crazy creative company, I'd love to work with them one day... But until that day, I'm just going to keep watching their amazing skits, and support them in any way possile, because they have a dream, and they're living it.
Way to go!
People throw the "I love you" around so much and so easily without even knowing what love is.
Love it phill did a amazing job with his seta mental voice and deep care voice love it keep it up!
Andy Doan I think you mean "sentimental."
True love looks like this:
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres
** Love is still a choice- (a self- sacrificial one) because humans are inherently sinful and its hard to pour ourselves into committing to someone else. Paul was single, but he still encouraged people to get married if they needed it. However, he said that for him personally, he needed to be single in order to focus on God. If that isn't true commitment of CHOICE, I don't know what is. ; )
The truth is still the best thing one can hear...
Riiiight!
You got this from “A Walk To Remember” didn’t you 😉
This short made me fall in love with Philip Wang... His thoughts primarily. What wouldn't I give to have a really good conversation with him...
I hope to find a partner someday to share these kinds of seep thoughts. I feel like most people I meet want to talk about superficial things or not dive deep enough into thoughtful and provoking topics like these.
Damn seven years later and this still gets me.
oh phil :( I feel like I can tell through your acting just how personal this was for you because I don't think I have ever seen you present yourself on camera with such a heavy heart. Thank you for sharing, it was beautiful.
I came here after "Yappies" series because I couldn't get enough of Phil and Kalina
Same! I was really triggered at first but started from the first ep. Now I'm addicted. The female lead is the most beautiful lady and I love the story and where they're trying to go!!
A girl just broke up with me after just 3 weeks. Though the time I spent with her was short or even trivial to some, she took a huge chunk of my heart after she said, "Let's just be friends" to me. I've never been this flustered with any girls before and sadly I was invested in her way too early.
I genuinely cared and adored this beautiful girl...and now... I'm sitting here. Trying my best to mend things while hopelessly thinking that things might just go back to the way they were.
This video...makes me think if words WERE enough...
Hope for the best, expect the worst
iankobe Ok. first, i'm really sorry that you're hurting now. I know what it feels like to care so deeply for someone and it's just not reciprocated. But i'm going to try to give you some advice, as i came out of a similar situation not too long ago. (also i'm a stranger on the internet, so why the heck not)
Take a step back. It's going to hurt like hell and things are going to suck for awhile. Not a lot is going to make sense, but you have to push through that because i promise there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Taking a step back is so important. I know all you might want to do right now is fix things, but remember that you can't make someone love you. You also need to respect that if she says just friends, that's probably all she needs right now. You didn't do anything wrong, she's just not in the best position to be in a relationship right now and it's better she realized that sooner rather than later.
It might take a few weeks, or months, but you will get over her. I promise you will. and right now you might not want to get over her, but when you take that step back and allow yourself time, you'll see that it was for the best.
She might change her mind later, but you also might change yours. You have good things in store and great people to meet and i promise it's not the end of the world, even though your insides might feel trampled right now. Just keep your chin up and you'll be fine.
Damn I've been in the same situation before so I think I know exactly how you are feeling. But after all those years of self recovery, I finally have convinced myself of the fact that hmm maybe what makes that girl so breathtaking is that I actually never have her. I mean hell yeah she still occupies a big part of my heart even purely friends but It doesn't matter anyway. Cheer Man!
iankobe Don't let one girl let you down. There are plenty of others...and I wouldn't continue being 'friends' with her.
OfTheseDaydreams thanks you :)
Couldn't have said it better. You actually made my day better. I've been through the same situation but now am trying to get over her. Really hard to do so...
This hits my heartstrings. I once thought that after my past failed relationships that my love was flawed, how could I love the wrong person so much? But then I realized that my love is not flawed at all, but beautiful and precious and real, I was just choosing the wrong person to love. I was in love with the idea of being in love, not with the person I was with.
deep..
Wow, my thoughts exactly.
YouShotMyRobot Bruh...
Well said :,)
beautiful.
The ending is such a lovely reflection on love, 'choosing everyday'
I keep coming back to this, it's just so good. Excellent filming, writing, acting, and man, the chemistry. I hope to see you both in a future project!
MY FEELZ HAVE BEEN TOUCHED IN ALL TYPES OF WAYS!!
"Remember when..."
"I love you was enough?"
WHOOPS there goes my stomach dropping off a cliff.
Remember when watching just 1 tv episode was enough?
Then you keep asking for more until you realize the time u spent together is almost over and most likely in vain. And you can't bare to think that the love was one sided.
🤣
Now even binge watching the whole season isn’t enough to give the same kind of joy
4 years after and still funny 😂😂😂
Im barely turning 20 and this shit scares me. Are those really a common issues in young adult relationships?
+Ventura Times yes.
yes
+Ventura Times YEAH, and I'm 14. Good thing I fucking know that. Damn. I mean.....I was aware of it but didn't fully realize it. Fuck. This hit me hard because as of now I am struggling so hard just to get an I love you from her. (Don't worry we've got our grades stable and good and I already have my future planned) Fuck, I'm scared.
it MAY be common but at the end of the day who says this is the start all end all relationships are what we make of them don't look to other relationships and be scared but look to them and learn how you could be a better lover or other things you can do with your partner #justmytwocents
As terrifying as adult relationships are, take solace from the fact that your life will not solely be defined by nor revolve around romantic relationships, regardless of whether they succeed or fail. There is more to life than "finding the one" or "settling down". You can do great things even if you're "alone", and even when you're "alone" you don't necessarily have to be lonely when you have meaningful and supportive relationships with family, friends, and coworkers. Instead of worrying about finding and keeping love, just live life with the intention of experiencing all it has to offer and don't close yourself because you're afraid of getting hurt or doing the wrong thing. We all go through similar life experiences---it's a privilege to feel, so just take it all in. Just live.
I think wong fu is just a group of 3 hard-core romantics that share their views with the world.
YESSS!! Finally, a definite, spoken opinion in a love and relationships Wongfu and I even agree with it wholeheartedly. With my 14 year relationship that includes our past 11 years of marriage, I assert that love truly is a CHOICE. Constantly choosing. Well done, I loved this video and I loved that the resolution was in a question rather than a final kiss.
Phil wrote this?!?? I thought Wesley did cuz it's really deep. Damn, my eye needed a bath anyways
eye bath,hehe
HAHA EYE BATH
FriedRiceDude Phil has always been deep, you should follow his instagram he has a lot of serious thoughts
Lol just the one eye
Julia Htay just the left one (why are people still liking this lol)
People have often said that I was married too young (at 19). But when I see films like this, I can't help but feel like I dodged a bullet. I have only loved two guys in my life, my first boyfriend and my husband. My first was a real jerk and devastated my heart. Used and abused. My husband came in later and we became friends. Friendship turned to love. He even came to my prom. We knew we didn't want to be apart although I was planning on going to New Zealand for 6 months, so we got married and headed out there after saving up for his passage. It delayed my plans but it was by far one of the most beautiful experiences we had as husband and wife. We chose us.
hi, are you guys still together?
Years later and this still gets me every time. Well written and such a relevant topic!
Coming back to this after a long time and it still hits hard ❤️
Love is a choice, it's so true.
I grew up with Wong Fu. I can always relate to their videos as I go through different stages of my life.
So much feels..
I've been in love ...well still am but I can say its not just words its bettering yourself for you and your partner growing together as one and caring for one another, ultimately the one I love ended it about 5 months ago I still reminisce because of how much he influenced me to become a better version of myself I believe that's why I have a hard time of letting go and moving on, but I can honestly say love comes with the good and the bad both equally helping u grow.
Love your comment, it's beautiful.... (:
If i may ask? Why didn’t it work out?
Hey stranger, did you end up finding love again?
@@mishasalykova8482 i did and shes everything and more than i can ask for. She taught me its okay to let go, have individuality, be confident in myself, lol shes me tbh, i guess the love i was looking for all these years was within me. Thank you for checking up on me ☺️
@@HazelGrey. it didnt work out because i didnt know how much i was worth
I remember these videos used to incite strong emotions in me a few months back, I loved watching them. I didn't feel a damn thing watching this one. This after realizing that there is no person that can fill the role 'the one' to anyone. For every person you love right now, there are millions of other people that can take their place given the right circumstances. It's not worth the grief to believe that a single person can make us happy, we have to learn to be happy with ourselves.
timing is perfect... this video shows up at the exact moment of my life. thank you WongFu
First watched this as a teen. Watching it in my 20s brings a whole new meaning to this. As always love Wong Fu’s work!
just had the same experience!!!
"Written & Directed by Philip Wang"
Smooth, Phil, perfect way to get yourself a kiss, write it in the script and play the part of the character who gets kissed ;P
Chris C like James Franco and Al Franken too
This hit home, and yes. I agree. The words are never going to be enough because it is always about choosing to love. Thank you for this.
I watch this multiple times it never gets old and it always get me.
I was touring San Francisco this weekend and happened to walk by this pier. It was so awesome!!! Wong fu : you guys are great!
Note to self : don't watch feelsy Wong Fu productions videos when you're alone with your thoughts
Now we know.
Although the concept is bang on, the dialogue still needs work--seems unnatural in diction and in flow. But I love how you guys keep growing with each and every video, never stagnant, always exploring, and ever becoming just a tad better than the last time we saw you.
This is poetry. You two are incredible!
This is such a powerful video. If it only was THAT easy to stay in love like it is to say 'I love you'. This has really touched a sensitive spot in me as everyone, including me always worry if the words 'I love you' truly reflects how the other person feels about you. Love truly IS a complicated thing.
I really enjoy these videos, you guys are amazing at how well you talk about even the deepest feelings and situations we go through.
This is so true! True love is a choice, when your not looking for what you can get out of the other person, but what you can give. Then it is unconditional, if your looking for what you can give, then whatever he or she does cannot change how much you love them...it's unconditional. BUT knowing when and who to love is just as important. Too many people give their hearts away before knowing if the other person is someone who will protect and cherish it.
She's so beautiful!
Wow this was so good, I'm speechless.
Every Wong Fu Productions Love Shortfilm is better than Twillight.
That's not really fair to twilight now, is it? :P
well that's easy, isn't it ? XD
My dog's breakfast is better than Twilight.
AHHHHH THE FEELSSSSSSSSS
People make relationships much harder than they are. Selfishness comes in and ruins a lot of things.
I love Wongfu's videos. Amidst all of the vlogs and skits and cat videos, they really are a breath of fresh air
They're back baby!
What makes this is the great acting from Phil and Janine. Gota say you've really come into your own as far as acting goes.
I cannot believe I did not find this channel sooner I absolutely love it. It is real life real people real situations and real solutions. I think the most complex thing about us human beings is our ability to choose and the power of will! Just amazing stuff.
Yeah, I like Wong Fu's grasp of reality instead of sugarcoating relationship! Sugar coated relationship stories are for comedy. Reality hits. How about doing about one -sided love
The video plus the background music, just matched the feeling
lost count on how many times I have watched this awesomeness.. good job Wong Fu! #fangirling
I always keep coming back to this one - always hits it right in the feels. Thank you Wong Fu, for everything.
These videos make me so happy. They restore my hope. They touch on deep emotions and subjects that are so human.
Jesus is, and will always be the only love that is enough.
Like if you agree.
No
Have fun with Jesus, I prefer to seek happiness in this life.
The Tiger Psy Co.™ TRUTH.
JohnnyLoco27 Who says you can't find happiness through Jesus?
Happiness is relative.
Jesus provides and redefines our own personal definition of happiness. :)
The Tiger Psy Co.™ Me. He is dead if he ever existed at all. I don't want to devote my whole life to please jesus to get into heaven. I'd rather be a good person and enjoy life as much as I can, without him.
After watching this video I asked myself, “when were the words I love you not enough?” After giving it much thought, I realized that sometimes love isn't enough when you begin to question your feelings for the person. This is especially true when you get older and think about everything you have been through with the person.
Damn that video hit hard. Very beautiful. It's us falling for the idea of love, not loving the person we truly stand with. Love may just be words, but it's how we treat those words, that's what really matters. Thank you As Always Stay Sexy. - Love Bedtime
Continue to make me cry Wong Fu!
I think I watched a few videos from you 10 years ago, and I wasn't impressed, but lately, I've been discovering your work all over again, and damn, was I so wrong back then. Your short stories are so well written. You guys are tremendously talented, and you definitely deserve recognition from outside of the asian-american community!
when your heart is broken and the word ''i love you'' doesn't mean anything to you anymore, womans have to know when a man's heart is broken you have to work 10 times more harder to build that friendship/relationship strong and be with him all the times and stay with him side by side no matter what happens and then when the time is right you go and tell him how you feel about him. because when a heart is broken he doesn't care anymore and he won't listen to your words because he will think your playing with him and he's going to be angry as hell trust me he will so for all you womans out there if you have a lover that is broken stay by his side always and prove your friendship with him
what if his heart is faded but not broken?
I tried but it was too late.
THE FEELS
WHOA. Since when did Phil's acting become so good? Leveled up like a hundred points!
Kudos Wong Fu. This felt new, fresh. Didn't seem like your usual relationship romance videos. You've grown once again, and it's amazing to see your progress. I feel like I've seen a new side to your work :)
And this just made my heart melt. Emotions all over T-T
always coming back to this
It's this kind of videos that makes me follow WFP for years now!
And it's amazing how much it's grown! It keeps getting better and better. You guys are so incredebly talented and I love every single work you've made so far.
"what are you gonna choose"
literally me at 9 pm: "I CHOOSE YOU PIKACHU"
i wish you guys did more comedy skits there so funny
Yeah
They're
Phil and his "what do you mean"
It's kinda iconic now haha
Beautiful clip. Full of amazing words, this video reminds me of how I fail to say l love you, to people I truly loved.
Wow...this has to be now my top three favorite and deep short films, because it hit close to my heart.
