@@ArmenianBishop I thought it was ironic in the political climate we live in of near constant police terror that has ended the lives of countless unarmed people that the cop in this movie was caring and compassionate toward someone with mental health problems.
We may not all sleep in a fast food joint for a week, but we mentally feel like that... the mind is stuck and prevents you from moving on. It's actually quite sad.
3 years ago I watched and cried to this because I was in the exact position as her. Metaphorically speaking, of course. I remember just being stuck and not being able to move on for so long no matter how hard I try. I tried the usual advice people give like working out and focusing on a few hobbies but it never helped. It's been 3 years ago now. It was february this year when I was first able to actually cry about it and that was the first time I felt like I actually took a step away from that place. I end this year in a MUCH better headspace and with a happier heart. There's still some rough roadbumpsp along the way sure, just like the poop the lady stepped on as she got out of the fast food chain, but there's no doubt in my mind that I'm in a better place now. To everyone out there who's going through the same thing, slow progress is still progress. Take your time and don't force yourself to move on when your heart's not ready to take the step. Don't deny yourself the freedom to cry about it.
Feels so unfair that others move on so fast like you never existed and others get stuck în misery for years. Been there, on both sides but still feels so messed up the way things are for the ones left behind.
@@danielabili1992 yes, love is so unfair. I like the little speech Nicholas Cage does in Moonstruck. "Love isn't like they told you. It doesn't make things nice. It ruins us. We are here to break our hearts and love the wrong people".
3 years? Better late than never. Hoping your healing will be completed soon. It was mourning the loss of loved ones that was extended with heartache. Some people do want another person to be destroyed because they can't be with them or they are narcissist. That's the kind of person you would have hoped not to have been involved with in the first place. Prayer helps.
I like the fact that her being gay isn't the primary point of the story, and it's just a thing that doesn't really need to be explained. Makes it feel real.
duck well I for one think you’re right. I love how they made it just a normal thing (like it should be)... they didn’t glorify it or make it a big deal for clout and they didn’t make out it in a negative light either
Sphinx Money there’s no need to be negative, they were just making a statement. You can disagree but you should be respectful ab it because being rude won’t get you anywhere
@@Sonotbearface so the moment gay people start being seen on television and RU-vid and shows pop up you are like "stop shoving it down our throats" but you realize that straight relationships are everywhere right? It's been like that's for years. So when I say stop shoving straight relationships down our throats watch you get all mad
It mocks her, but it also admires her. It's just an amplifier that leans maybe a bit more to the negative side, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a positive side.
Timothy Farrand Sorry you read that wrong. I did not intend for it to seem like I enjoy seeing her getting essentially bullied. I find the way how the narrative starkly displays this amusing.
Is this an analogy to sorrow and moving on? How our mind just figuratively stays stuck in the same sorrowful moment/place until it finally decides to walk out and move on?
think so. you'll move on eventually. just needs to wait until something trigger it. i once was heart broken for 5 years though i was going to stay this way till i die but the one day, something trigger my heart to move on
thats why this kind of movies is so great: it lets you interpret its meaning without revealing it, so you always have the possibilty to talk about it with random people or you friends etc. There rarely is a "good/bad" thing like in most hollywood movies, the movie just "is" and thats great :)
After my ex-fiance broke up with me right before marriage, for one month I cried my eyes out and slept in the office, buried myself in work so that I don't have to think about the memories we shared at home...So, I know the sentiment of this video! Thank you for sharing. :)
@@InteliDey How did you go through it, did you really do it? feel all your feelings, make an autopsy and also see your own part, where you were wrong, made amistake, missed signs or whatever? Did you do healing-work so that the old pain won't rise up once you meet a new woman love? I have not fallen in love since I was hurt 20 years ago. And he was not even having a relationship with me. Only I had, and believed he did..
The police officer did more than anyone else. Everyone else told what to do. All he had to do was show the mark the wedding band had left on his left hand.
This is the only comment that I not only agree with but it made me happy that someone pointed out something other than filling a hole or being sad or break ups. Thanks for putting a smile on my face. 😊
Yup, best thing to do is to just listen. I hate when I'm venting and people are throwing solutions at me. Its like 'I know what I have to do but just give me a release of yelling before I do it.
@@mysticdolphin6546 As a person it’s important to not push your beliefs. Not everyone believes what you do. There’s religions much older. So it’s kinda full of yourself to think yours is the right one for everyone
@@aidankhaos7687 That is a nice thought but it does not work for followers of Christ. We are called to share the good news with people of all nations, it is what we live for; that said, yes, we need to learn how to read the room.
Glad she tried moving on.. sometimes it takes a lifetime to do so... hugs to all who are waiting for their someone to come back.. even only for a moment...
I feel like being dumped in public is the absolute worst, it's humiliating, especially when it's around a lot of people and it's supposed to be fun...just have break ups at home.
This is the best thing ever. She allowed her to feel how she feels and moved on when she wanted to. Best description of grieving. It allowed me to feel grief.
@Simply Sasuke Thats really great that you are allowing yourself to grieve. I don't understand what "Moving on" means when we are feeling something. Im so glad that you are focusing on your well-being than listening to others who avoid their own emotions. :)
@@TheAmna_Penguin Hey, I'm so happy to hear you are doing better and so proud of you for getting the help you needed. (Unfortunately, I don't know the other creators on this channel since these are all independent films which are then curated by Omeleto, so I can't pass along). I hope you keep feeling good and grateful that my work could help.
i started crying when the young boy started to question her like omg. it is so painful to see how his curiosity is making her think so much about it. but his intentions were so pure. and that makes it just that much more painful to see.
@@itzelsantana1156 Commander Shepard from the Mass Effect game would say, "We'll bang, ok?" play the game and relax - the little kid was a boy, and his mom has issues too.
This movie shows that there will be nobody for you when you are dumped. Your friends will come try to convince you to move on and will just go. It will be on you to take your time. First you will deny. Then you will grieve. Then you will do something crazy like cut your hair short or something just the way she did with coke. And then you will push yourself out of it. It happens
I remember 8 months after my fiance blindsided me, still feeling just as cold + empty + dead + exposed, like a raw nerve, as the day he did it. And I thought that was the worst I could feel. Then there came the night I dreamed he came back, + we danced, + he said to me, "You didn't really think I'd leave you," & took it all back. And then I woke up, & discovered I was wrong; there's always a "worse". I continued to not be okay for another 16 months. That was years ago, before I met my husband. I'm glad now that I held on, but I'll never forget how it felt; the sheer weight of it, the windshear + drag. How it ached just to exist, one moment of the same pain after another. It seemed like everyone else was moving forward in time around me, & only I was stuck, jammed in place while my life left me behind. The creative team behind this film did an incredibly naturalistic job with this, at bringing that feeling to life, so vividly that it took me back there for a moment, myself. The lead actress as well. And the policeman, so unflinchingly brave in his vulnerability, was also spectacular. This is real art, guys. Thank you for sharing it with us.
If Buzzfeeds contract is the same, then she WAS from Buzzfeed. They might've changed it but it used to be that if you worked for them you couldn't be on any other media channel, mainly in acting. So if she's in this, she's probably not working with Buzzfeed anymore.
I love how this symbolizes how much of a lasting impact things like this can have on you. Like no matter how hard she tries, she will always be sitting in that same table, in that same restaurant, possibly forever, or until she learns to move on
Bidisha Salim Barsha The perception that vulnerability is weakness is the most widely accepted myth about vulnerability and the most dangerous. When we spend our lives pushing away and protecting ourselves from feeling vulnerable or from being perceived as too emotional, we feel contempt when others are less capable or willing to mask feelings, suck it up, soldier on. We've come to the point where, rather than respecting and appreciating courage and daring behind vulnerability, we let our fear and discomfort become judgement and criticism - Brene Brown
Bidisha Salim Barsha , people rather to laugh at others pain and put them down then to help them , people always find some reason to laugh at others and hate especially in 2015 and 2016 and with 2017 . And bullies are everywhere this world is rule by bullies it's sad but true ...
AwkwardYet dude leave her alone she can be sensitive if she wants that's actually what this channel does I guess. It makes me feel sad most of the time
After seeing this, to me I feel like the restaurant represented the girl's feelings of staying in the past and finally leaving is putting all of that behind
The house is the past thus why she doesn't want to go back the restaurant represents a freeze frame of the present...more precisely the present at the moment she got dumped. The future is just a question mark...thus why she was stuck...but also what ultimately got her moving again. The present sucks...the past sucks....how bad can the future be?
LOL I read your comment before watching the video and I thought she had stuck herself in the playground that fast food places have. I was a bit disappointed there was no playground...
this is one of my favorites, have rewatched so many times over past couple of years & find it somehow very comforting. Specially now when I'm going through a bit depressing & heartbreaking time myself. I feel really grateful for videos like these
Love is like an STD. I was once dumped at a Starbucks and the barista gave me a free iced macchiato an hour later because I was still there crying. Brilliant short film.
I think what they meant by that is for an initial upfront fee of 50 cents more than regular, you get unlimited free refills. Not a bad deal if you stay there a week.
@@pvanukoff at taco bell we are supposed to watch and make sure no one gets refills. The machine is out there to get yourself a drink but once you remove the lid it breaks the cup and you cannot get another
I like how she dealt with her situation, these days people just want you to move on quickly, no, move on when you want to move on, sulk, take your damn time.
@@yoshidasaki17703 tbh I have a teacher that teaches Biology that has breast cancer, is 50+ years old, but even through all that shes a mean one. Still tho I have great respect for her and what she does.
Joey Hernandez how come no one is bothered by someone requoting something in other comment sections but when someone requotes this line it's suddenly problematic?
bread god it’s not funny if you actually agree that the answer is Jesus. So people requoting that line and then saying “I’m laughing” or whatever is like laughing at the belief. Their laughing at someone rejecting what you think is a serious issue.
Wow....she worked threw alot of grief in a week. I'm struggling still after 6 months as the dumper. Drug addiction. Still cant believe it's real. That line really got me.
i take this a little diffrently. I think this is showing us how we can become so stuck in our own upset and drowning in our own sorrow that we don't realize that there are people who can and do want to hep. Some will want to take advantage and others will think you are funny and mock you. They don't have the empathy to feel your pain. Anyway yo will stay stuck in that same place until you decide that you deserve help. You deserve good things and you shouldn't let shame and the past define you. Until you know that, you are doomed to stay stuck in the same place. it does not matter what others can offer or what they do. Until you realize that you are worthy of moving on, nothing changes. I know because I was in this same mind set for a good long part of this year but, I finally learned that all my shame and all my sadness was literally holding me in the same situation. I needed to take the help that was offered to me and when I did, I discovered that accepting help makes you a stronger person - not a weaker one.
guys I don't know, after many horror/sci-fi/anxious fast paced short films, this one really made my day! It's a good, slow 18 minutes of kind-heartedness (if this word doesn't exist well now it does), with awesome people, starting from the girl employee, the friend, the police man, and finally the child, very nice indeed
Mary Vee was the way I can do this for a little long time with you guys I am so excited for the new year and I am not going back because of my son that you are the
For some people your emotions, feelings does not matter, cause it is not seen by others. Its hard to live in a society where people laugh on your wounds and cry on your success.
