This video is wonderful, the sound track goes and the train just becomes the impassive background, so cold, so familiar, and just maybe, there could be hope.
Wow Wellblow me away why don't you.. dammnn i havent gotten that choked up in a minute. my next project was going to be and still is an interview with a homeless person, and thanks to this video Richard you have inspired me. Thanx
This story is really awesome, I heard it maybe a year ago and I was amazed back then, that one homeless man, happy for a brief moment that he's friend made something out of him, something he couldn't archive, something he had fail to do ... Always when he says "Im good", it gives me chills, it makes ME happy for a very brief moment ...
This is very deep. It made the hairs on my ass stand up. Beautiful story. Made me cry. Pete, I love you. You are the best person on the face of the Earth. You should be President of the USA. You are a modern day Jesus. Be proud!!!!!
Now in Redding, California if you are one of the more than 3,000 homeless men, women, and children in Shasta County caught by a small campfire trying to keep warm within Redding's city limits, or sleeping anywhere in a car, you can receive up to six months in jail, and a $1,000 fine.
Everytime I bought a dime bag of weed I was buying happiness. I love the sound the train makes as it moves across a switch. It sounds like it is pounding the rail, all its weight coming down.
Man what a tuching film (serious don't bitch it or me)
I live in australia and there are barely any homeless people but ocasionly you can find one in the aley wasy around the shelters.
But what i have 2 say is this. if ure government and people treet people with the amount of respect that i can extract from the coments in this section. "it's pothetic"
It was just entertaining. You're a fookin idiot. Not everyone thinks its shit.... To make such a harsh, stupid comment like that I can only presume you're some 12 year old hiding behind a computer. Or just a failed/wannabe film maker. Where are your video's?
I ride the 7 train all the time. The last homeless guy I saw was smearing his own feces on the mezzanine wall. It was at the Main Street station. I guess the charming homeless guys are in Woodside.
If this is a true story, (most likely it isn't) the homeless guy was probably drunk or high. I don't think he remembers being played for a fool by this guy, so there is no happy ending...Sorry folks.
It's not about what he did was right or wrong, nor if homeless ppl are real people or not. It's a story, possibily true and (to me) definitly inspiring. Not to go out and accually talk to them more as I do now, but to think more about life and how it could have been etc... And I suppose that was the purpose of this vid, so... Nice vid.
the one thing i don't get is how you play up talking to homeless people. like of course homeless people are "real people", they just don't have homes. i chat with homeless people all the time, they are actually usually a lot more interesting than most people.
wow this is just touching....man it shows true colors of someone...come on people deep down you are all ok people...don't hate someone because they are different
This movie you made about this homeless man is very touching. One never really understand why certain people cross our paths, but when they do and we show compassion as you have done, you are sowing good seed that will sprout something positive later in life.
I'm pissed off. Epicwarding, it is people like you who ruin the YouTube community. This guy told us a true story of of something that has happened in his life and you call it trash? This is truly a beautiful story of someone who made an old friends day just by giving him attention that no one else would. Oh the frustration I am feeling! It sounds like your the one born in 93 because you don't have a clue of what the real world is. Do you? Grow up a little before posting such comments.
Excellent movie! I really enjoyed it, and it is so inspiring. What a gift that the man gave to the homeless man. Maybe it was enough to even turn him around too.
You obviously have issues, which I cannot solve. Just don't loose your link to humanity and to society, or you too will end up homeless in the same situation. There was nothing wrong with making a homeless man happy and to give him hope that he too may find his way out of his situation.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I guess you're right. Blind somebody with bullshit. Don't make them face reality. Let them have false hope and wither and die in their real life situation. You're much more wise than me. I am humbled. It makes for a short term, heart warming story though! I wonder if you will remember it tomorrow.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. By yours, i'd say you are about 20 and very idealistic and yet negative at the same time. Don't even try to put me down kid, I could care less what you think.
I agree. He had some fun at some poor guy's expense and was very proud of himself for doing so. I don't think playing with somebody's head is all that touching.
Are we sure this happened or was this just a story? Look, the homeless character's life isn't going to get better in reality, ever. Is it cruel to lie to him, to make him feel better about what can't be changed?
@ChicagoStories There R many that get off the streets. Some just get bad breaks in life and lose their homes, jobs, etc. and they're not out there long. There's several groups that successfully help many get off the streets. Not everyone is hopeless. Sometimes it takes teamwork to help them. We had a homeless friend living with us, and he was ripped off by a minister. I took him out of his hands, took what little finances he had out of his control, helped him get a car, and now he's making it.
@HowlingWolf1910 We're not talking about homeless people in general, we're talking about a specific character in a specific story, the one being told in this video.
@ChicagoStories Simply bringing up the possibility that if this person IS real, it's not hopeless. And that it's an unknown if his life will never get better .... that would be an inconclusive presupposition, as we don't even know if this is a real person or not. We ... I am talking about the odds of a homeless person's life getting better - and not assuming that it won't or cannot.
@HowlingWolf1910 : "I am talking about the odds of a homeless person's life getting better - and not assuming that it won't or cannot. "
I'm not going to get into an "is so, is not" contest" with somebody who is clearly here because he is in love with the sound of his own voice. We do know something about the character, whose reactions, words and even tone are shared with us in the story, enough of each that we are not looking at a generic homeless character.
continuing .. By your own admission, you've ignored all of these, and shared with us nothing more than a knee jerk reaction to the notion that a particular homeless character's situation can be counted on to not improve, your reaction being based on nothing more than the fact of his homelessness. I seriously wonder if you even watched the video.
A discussion with somebody like you has nowhere to go. I've blocked you. We're done. Have a nice life.
Jesus did not give anyone deception, what are you some sort of devil worshiper? There is a difference between deception and what happened here. I truly believe deception would have moved this man negatively, whereas letting him believe that it was Pete gave him hope.
ummm...to mcsweeny92 the dude didn't go home and cry he's homeLESS you fool. and it was either go along with the story and make the homeless dude happy or shoo him away like so many people do in big cities. like you said the homeless people are people too and this guy treated him like an equal like his best friend even
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hmmm......lieing is a sin even if its to a homless man! he probably went home and cryed his eyes out because he realized he was fooled by a middle class POS. So...please dont lie to homeless people bc they are real ppl too.
Life is nothing more than moments in time moving like water dripping in a bucket! You did a great job painting one of those moments so we could see.. 5 stars love to see more
The video was very well done. My compliments to the director and writer. Very touching. I'm not usually one for the sappy emotional garbage but this was done in such a way that it was very nice. The purpose of any entertainment is to evoke an emotion without making it have that 'sticky' feeling, and this is a very good example of that. Again, very good job.
Wow. I'm just so amazed, people can find happiness and comfort in things other cannot. Don't no how to feel or what to say... I liked the video...? :)
Poor homeless man is probably wondering why his "good friend Pete" did not help him off the streets. Maybe the "psuedo Pete" should have given him a place to stay then his new best friend and life savior would have been Richard. Then the homeless man would no longer be homeless and Richard would have a a feature! Maybe you will find him and we will see a part 2 coming soon to U Tube! ;-)
i stopped to talk to a poor person off the street once. somin told me to spare a few mins to talk to this guy.. and OMG what he had to say. watever any1 may think, u cannot argue with the fact that they are just ppl like the rest of us. This man had so much to say about wat he believed in and wat he thought. He talked to me about his belief in Islam, cuz he was moslim. and his faith was just to the point that he was just in Go'ds hands. He told me to stop by anytime to talk if i wanted to talk
I found out my husband has a girlfriend, after two days crying & morning the end of our 37 year marriage, I wrote him a letter, reflecting over my life and questioned myself, I thought it would give me closure, why I picked your video, the universe sometimes knows what we need, the comment "a homeless man that was happy with his life" at that moment I thought, is true we are in control of our own happiness, sometimes inspiration comes in unexpected venues.
Did he end it with you or you with him? If he didn't end it with you ..and you left him for that .. you wasted your own 37 years and were mourning the loss of ownership of another human being. If he ended it with you ..then that is a very tragic thing to hear about and I hope you are able to move on
do what YOU need to do to heal. don't let other people's opinions cloud your emotions. the comments left on my video are a perfect example. Some are good, some are constructive and then there are the rude ones. I take the ones that mean something to me to heart and ones that effect to to reply. I'm sorry about your marriage. now is the time to wipe life clean and start over.
For the people who say "this was poorly done, or executed"... was this guy paid to make this? does he have professional equipment at his disposal? does he have soo much time to devote to this?
He made a short video to show that a homeless person is also a human being that has feelings, but is usually just ignored and avoided as a drunk/drug-user.
It's a shame you guys dont concentrate on what's important and readily criticise.
well, what's gonna happen when he runs into the real pete? he's probably mentally ill, so you don't need to be f!@#ing with a guy's head like that. i bet the real pete is nothing like what this guy paints him to be. repurcussions could be worse than this "nice little story."
Liked the story because it must resonate with all of us (we are all a few pay cheques away from homelessness). May I ask what you shot the film on? Great work.
Surprisingly Good. The voice and tone of narration and story telling was captivating. Hopefully, your viewers will take your message in the hope that you meant it, I know... I did.
I appreciate the sentiment. I was at the courthouse the other day and early for my appointment. I went to subway and bought a five dollar footlong. I remembered the lowly homeless man talking to himself outside the courthouse. I wound up giving him the other half of the sandwich. When I walked inside and looked out the window he was still talking to himself... but he was smiling. He even chuckled a little. I know he was metally ill, but did I make his day a little brighter?

The video was very well done. My compliments to the director and writer. Very touching. I'm not usually one for the sappy emotional garbage but this was done in such a way that it was very nice. The purpose of any entertainment is to evoke an emotion without making it have that 'sticky' feeling, and this is a very good example of that. Again, very good job.

"how hes so happy "
exactly how did you come to that conclusion?
garryput1 3 years ago
He said ?
MKiller5 3 years ago
I agree it is a great clip. However, just because he was not wallowing in self pity, or at least forcing it on others, does not make him happy.
On the other hand, perhaps he is.
garryput1 3 years ago
The point is, that he IS happy.. He's fine with being poor.. Dont know how else to explain it O_o
(I suck at english!)

I see your point.
And your English is fine.

Poor homeless man is probably wondering why his "good friend Pete" did not help him off the streets. Maybe the "psuedo Pete" should have given him a place to stay then his new best friend and life savior would have been Richard. Then the homeless man would no longer be homeless and Richard would have a a feature! Maybe you will find him and we will see a part 2 coming soon to U Tube! ;-)

Could have given the guy a $5 dollar bill to buy some booze with and he would have been just as happy. This story sucks. Stop fawning over yourself.

i stopped to talk to a poor person off the street once. somin told me to spare a few mins to talk to this guy.. and OMG what he had to say. watever any1 may think, u cannot argue with the fact that they are just ppl like the rest of us. This man had so much to say about wat he believed in and wat he thought. He talked to me about his belief in Islam, cuz he was moslim. and his faith was just to the point that he was just in Go'ds hands. He told me to stop by anytime to talk if i wanted to talk

I found out my husband has a girlfriend, after two days crying & morning the end of our 37 year marriage, I wrote him a letter, reflecting over my life and questioned myself, I thought it would give me closure, why I picked your video, the universe sometimes knows what we need, the comment "a homeless man that was happy with his life" at that moment I thought, is true we are in control of our own happiness, sometimes inspiration comes in unexpected venues.

Did he end it with you or you with him? If he didn't end it with you ..and you left him for that .. you wasted your own 37 years and were mourning the loss of ownership of another human being. If he ended it with you ..then that is a very tragic thing to hear about and I hope you are able to move on

do what YOU need to do to heal. don't let other people's opinions cloud your emotions. the comments left on my video are a perfect example. Some are good, some are constructive and then there are the rude ones. I take the ones that mean something to me to heart and ones that effect to to reply. I'm sorry about your marriage. now is the time to wipe life clean and start over.

Very good. Was a great story.
For the people who say "this was poorly done, or executed"... was this guy paid to make this? does he have professional equipment at his disposal? does he have soo much time to devote to this?
He made a short video to show that a homeless person is also a human being that has feelings, but is usually just ignored and avoided as a drunk/drug-user.
It's a shame you guys dont concentrate on what's important and readily criticise.

crazymofo77 3 years ago
well, what's gonna happen when he runs into the real pete? he's probably mentally ill, so you don't need to be f!@#ing with a guy's head like that. i bet the real pete is nothing like what this guy paints him to be. repurcussions could be worse than this "nice little story."

Liked the story because it must resonate with all of us (we are all a few pay cheques away from homelessness). May I ask what you shot the film on? Great work.

Surprisingly Good. The voice and tone of narration and story telling was captivating. Hopefully, your viewers will take your message in the hope that you meant it, I know... I did.

I appreciate the sentiment. I was at the courthouse the other day and early for my appointment. I went to subway and bought a five dollar footlong. I remembered the lowly homeless man talking to himself outside the courthouse. I wound up giving him the other half of the sandwich. When I walked inside and looked out the window he was still talking to himself... but he was smiling. He even chuckled a little. I know he was metally ill, but did I make his day a little brighter?
