For Us | Short Film from 'Everything Before Us' 

Hes married soz famgounlimited.to/embed-u54nshwyibr7.html

I think she is Polish lol

Yep. Eskra Skolimowski. That is VERY Polish haha

@@FGH9G The last name is Polish, but her accent is definitely Russian or Ukranian.

Possibly. She could also be an ethnic Pole from or living in Russia or Ukraine. There are quite a bit of Polish minorities living in Europe outside of Poland. Or we could all be safe and vague and just call her Eastern European lol

Yess i loved this message and the metaphore of the metronome

DAMMMMN THIS JUS HIT ME SOOO DAMMMMM HARD !! THAT IS THE SENTENCE OF MY LIFE. WELL SAID , SWEET , SOFT AND DIRECT!! THIS EXPLAINS MY LIFE AND HOW I LIVE MY LIFE!! DAMN , I GOTTA LIVE !! I GOTTA GET UP AND LIVVVVVE !!

This explains why love sometimes hard to be expressed.

TOTALLY AGREE!! im obsessed with everything before us and have watched it twice hahaha

oh shit that’s a good interpretation. i was thinking the metronome simply criticizes an orderly system; this can be applied to governments and such. it restricts our self expression and prevents us from being human. the metronome also shows good character development when Randall decides to stop replying on it

yes but note that the piano teacher already has a poised and internal rhythmic sense and control. Freedom from the metronome is only freeing if there is a grounding and resolute sense of self, and a true understanding of it. Randall's struggle is that he believes his life is better within orderly systems, when in reality he suffers from an uncertain and broken sense of self, and he fears the failure that comes from lacking both the sense of self AND a system, and so is never able to break free. "I need this," he says hesitantly and anxiously. Randall's growth is that he overcame heartbreak and remembers that good relationships and good things in life come when you overcome fear and reliance on external orderly systems. He helps others find joy by breaking a very clear confidentiality rule, and he eventually finds joy himself.

I don't think the metronome is inherently restrictive or a negative character. It simply exists. It's mechanical. It is a tool that can help guide you if you lack rhythmic sense, it is there to help you develop a skill - whether you turn it on and off is ultimately up to you. Using it as a guide and then freeing yourself from it ("I know I need help"), or relying on it to provide you with a sense of structure and order as a safeguard ("I need this"), or viewing it as restrictive when it is forced upon us by others ("I feel resrained and suffocated"), these are human and personal responses that come from internal motivations, projected on an external tool.

That is a good quality metronome too lol. Brand wise lol.

YES! I was thinking the same! 🙂

Less frequent (and higher quality) uploads are bad for the algorithm. It's likely that Wong Fu just isn't being recommended to as many people as other large channels.

Wes Gill yeah, RU-vid algorithm unfortunately favors quantity over quality :(

I'm still always so surprised. I've been watching them since my high school days with yellow fever and they've continually produced such great videos. Definitely deserve way more subs!

They don‘t post that much

I love that it is a niche

👍🏾

remuneration municipal government has been trying former prime secretary exited multiple meetings wants someone else members depending upon how they do their jobs and they haven’t seen the situation at all but they haven’t seen the other one

Me too I loved the subtle ending

love how it tied into the whole “just feel it” thing ❤️

Lmaoo I'd be happy with that kind of closure than this tbh

HISHE

Fa Tee I’m not into asian guys is how it really ended.....lol. Her smiling at the end was so dumb. She was cold the whole time. He was just a client to her.

@@sammykim9250 not really, people can have preferences. and just because they don't prefer a certain race doesn't always mean they think negatively about them. it could just be a matter of cultural differences, for example.

Fa Tee, That would have been a realistic ending... 😂

Why you at the club though? Social distancing or NAHHH

You see, standardized testing is broken, but it was invented to stop just that, a revolution. Standardized testing was a way to prevent fraud, populism, and establish a meritocratic society - it has succeeded in some ways and failed in another. I feel like it is not so bad, because consider the fact that arts colleges require portfolios for that reason alone.

Omg...come to China and you’ll see what real standardized is like. I lived in the US for the past 5 years and I’ve been so happy about the education system there lmaooooo 😂

Agreed, I watched Everything Before Us way back when, but this backstory really hit

it could be that the characters in the backstory had more pre-development as opposed to the ones in the movie. in the movie randall had little scenes where he was in distress almost as if he was being torn down by the system

but i agree, i feel this back story had a perfect progression for such little time due to the fact that they developed randall’s character even before the release

I think it was the style too - this one was less expressive, more minimalist, showing things without much dialogue explicitly saying what they were going through, but we could still connect with that.

Akdhankh12 yeah, i definitely see Wes’s style of directing. not too much dialogue, let the expressions speak for themselves

*EVEN BETTER!!
