  • its difficult to understnad scott accent

  • i like how the mother and father represent two different sides in the battle and then on christmas day they got together and played a friendly game of football, exactly like they did in WW2...

  • @grapefacechipmunks it was WW1 that they played soccer in nomans land on chritsmas lol

  • I have a football like that :) only its orange

  • I enjoy how the title ties in with the trench warfare, great short. Opening scenes were great shots!

    

  • It confuses me how the Directors promote Kids swearing.

  • @SMASHWITHPOWAR its necessary for the movie maybe?

  • could someone from you uk explain the paper crowns? im seen them in movies and tv shows at christmas, but wats the story behind them?

  • @ThatNerdfighter at christmas you get crackers witch two people pull on each end, and it makes a cracking sound as it opens and inside you get a little crappy toy, a little piece of paper with a crappy joke on it, and a paper crown, thats why people wear paper crowns at christmas, its got nothing to do with tradition they come in the crackers, i suppose its relating to the three kings.

  • prepare to die you fucking fucker is what the kid said at 1:56

  • This is a magnificent short film. 

  • Excellent give my short film a watch "Alone" a story about a young boy who lives in a house where domestic violence takes place and how it has a huge impact on his life. Its on my channel thanks.

  • how do u not understand it

  • i dont understand it? :P

  • "prepare to die fucking fucker!" :)

  • I like it but I don’t get the moral. Can someone explain it to me?

  • @EarlyMorningsAndRain Not sure about a strict moral per se, but some powerful themes. We see the child's (lonely) perspective of arguments that center on him but are really about unresolved issues between the parents. There is the negative affect as the child feels he is responsible. We see the sadness of, perhaps an unecessary, estrangement and sadder yet, how close the parents are to 'making the best of the situation' but still can't. An ongoing tragedy for all.

  • i love the scottish accent.

  • this kid is wayne rooney when he was little boy lol

  • Not as good as ur other vdos

  • next wayne rooney

  • "no man's land" is where a war took place between graman and England and as you can see the mam and dad Broke up an on xmas day thy were playin football together and in "no man's land" 2 enemies german soldiers an English soldiers playd football on xmas day so that why this video is called "no man's land"

    sorry if i didn't put the full info it's cuz am 11 and am still learning about this .

  • No mans land on my profile is good as well

  • It's difficult for me to understand the story...

  • lol "prepare to die you fucking fucker" !

  • good movie, but its hard to understand everything (to me)... i'm used to the american style :D even if i'm from germany. i'll watch it over and over again to understand everything and get to know almost every accent that is spoken all over the world :D

  • didn't this happen in ww1?

  • Wow... I completely understand why the main objects in the this film are soldiers.... The soldiers represent mom And dad and how they are in a war with each other.... Everytime they are on the phone arguing he repeats what they are doing with the soldiers..... Remember when the farther said fuck.... The kid repeated and put it in the toys..... That was deep.... But correct me if I'm wrong that's how I see it

  • @Mrbadcomments woah cool story bro! you should totally be a film critic or something.

  • Hey you got the same military toys as me :D

  • @BasbogaKen For a 35 year old that's sad.

  • lol, silent night is playing in german

  • Comment removed

  • @yeahdudeirok1234 tell you something 'dude', you've got a lot, and i stress A LOT, of fucking nerve to be making such offbeat grotesque accusations towards such a graceful picture. The world would be such a better place without the thought of a pretentious fuck like yourself stealing our oxygen.

  • This reminds me of that one time during world war one, when fighting ceased for one day, to observe christmas.

  • i started singing along when silent night played in the background this was great

  • very nice christmas short

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @yeahdudeirok1234 is that a genuine comment? how could you be so f**king naive?!? everyone has conflict...but you're probably too insecure to admit it. if you're going to write a comment on a beautifully well done short film, then at least make it f**king logical.

  • This made me cry. My parents just got divorced and they refuse to put things aside for christmas. All I want is a christmas truce.

  • @tashtan1 It doesnt have to be just like xmas, but, it can be special in some other way! :)

  • here's another short  to check, /watch?v=2xtxC-KX20I

  • isn't this in ireland? where are all the gingers? jk

  • Was he wiping away the teddy bears tears? (; I like how the mother and father live so close to eachother. 

  • that kid looks like a little nick swardsons :o

  • prapare to die fucker lol

  • I Dont Get The Description His Parents Didnt Go To War ??

  • @shortymcprshort . . . Seriously? His parents are always arguing, so they're "at war" The whole army men thing is just symbolic.

  • @shortymcprshort arguing... not actual "war" but the toys he played with are used as symbols

  • it is pretty clever... so the boy is the one in the 'no mans land' between his parents, right?

  • Futbol brings the world together. 

  • at least some divorced couples can be together on Christmas, this story hits me hard, i love these videos, even how sad it feels

  • WOW! I didn't get this movie till the credits rolled...

  • wow i wish i had so many soldiers 1:19 XD

  • I loved the reference to the WWI armistice at christmas. I just thought the very last scene of the parents fighting changed it from happy to sad ending. It almost made the whole film pointless because we're back where we started.

  • @WarriorSouthpaw thats really all that divorce is. as a child of divorced parents myself, i know how it is. the child's lucky that his parents got together for a game with him. the film just shows all the terrible goings on of divorce.

  • that little boys in my art school :)

  • @mad1morg really fucken oath thats awesome!!

  • LMAO

    ``prepare to die you fucking fucker!´´

  • i notice all the kids swear on these films

  • amazing up until the end.. i get what they were trying to say there but could of did it better i think

  • wait they live just a field away?how convinient!

  • @kiwiboy8492 Thats why its No Mans Land. remember the toy soldier lost in the creek?

  • I bloody loved it, didn't get it at first but yeah, i love it now :)

  • why r all this Scotland Ireland but uh that kinda makes out a reason why they r short and badly scripted. they can cuss in Ireland wow.

  • @inr21sevier Well, that was NEARLY coherent.

  • Wtf?! the ending sucked

  • @paradox1410 what? u suck a dick?

  • @flizz5 Dont you know how to fucking read? I said the ENDING you fucking dumb shit. Go suck dick bitch

  • i think i got the gist but can somebody explain it more

  • the christmas truce. classisc story of ww2, this is amazing

  • Prepare to die you fucking fucker.

  • a very clever name

  • Ha ha

    Prepare to die you fucking fucker

  • thats cool but i dont get it why its called no mans land

  • @shelzbffz No mans land is 'land' that is under dispute between two parties because of fear or uncertainty.

    1:14. A scene where the boy is playing with the army men. Argument in the background

    7:39. Two parties (mum and dad), the boy in between... "No mans land"

    Tbh this is a bitch of a film because I know if my english teacher found this we would be analysing this to hell for 5 months.

  • i think was a great short film and i can really relate to the kid. also brought me back to the ol Scottish roots. =] great job

  • Draws from the world war 1 event of the Christmas truce... really great short loved it....

  • good movie

    "NOT"

  • LOL he sais prepare to die u fucking fucker

  • its ok but my favorite was new boy

  • This is something we can all relate to

  • thats not even the 1% of the story

  • This is real media, america needs this. Most parents shouldn't reproduce less they want to take care of their kids, emotionally not just physically.

  • guys u hav no idea how much it hurts when a kid sees his dad kiss antoher woman or his mom kiss another man or hearing parents argue it just like fucks with a kid

  • is it german?!...Why is there german music in the background?^^

    ööööööüüüüüüöööööööö haha I got some different signs than you..cause I´m german..Germany rocks^^ no that was stupid..but who cares about this...

    actually I just wanted to say that the video is great ^.^

  • made me cry even from the first 3mins

  • this is a good video :)

  • xmas is just illusion... there are no special dates... everyday is a special day if we want...

  • @MartaHetfield ur right =)

  • @MartaHetfield if all days were like christmas then there will be no specialty left in them

  • @MartaHetfield so simple and true.. but people seem not to realize that!

  • @MartaHetfield i here you!

  • @MartaHetfield  Muslim ?

  • @MartaHetfield xmas isnt an illusion. it means something to a lot of people. i'm not religious but my family celebrates it and it means family, warmth, peace to me..sure, every year, now that i'm growing up it means less + less, but now it's more like childhood memories. everyday cant be like that,because we're all human and stupid. people have jobs to get on with, problems to fix, moments of grief... and they cant be completely loving and selfless all the time. xmas is the one day we're okay.

  • @jaderules05 It's an illusion because you could pick any day of the year to have that kind of day.

  • @MartaHetfield thats right because we should celebrate Jesus Christ everyday :-)

  • Thats kinda like what the US did in china.. lol!

  • i agree with jasonphung. christmas was one day everyone put aside their differences to celebrate a day of joy...and then went on fighting again the next day

  • o they took the concept of christmas in world war I where the allies and axis played soccer in the middle of the fighting ground. what they did in the movie was the same but the parents having a war

  • the kid makes a good commander and trador he's working for both sides lol

  • "prepare to die you f****** F*****" haha

  • i dont get it

  • its about a kid whos parents are divorced but the kid is caught in between the cross-fire between the parents...hence the name "no man's land" which was when the soldiers in WW1 charged over thier trenches as enemies shot at them...boy thats a mouthful..

  • Yes they entered

  • i enjo this fucking sort films mates

  • This is about a battle in ww1 germans and Americans where fighting a long trench battle. But on Christmas day they put down there guns and had a soccer game in the field between them that was called no mans land. Then the day after they went back to fighting just like in the video

  • During WWI they did not play soccer on Christmas day. It started out with one side singing Christmas carols and the other side joining in both in their own languages. There was no guns shot but no one entered no mans land.

  • @MooMooDucky

    Your facts versus his facts, hmm.

  • Also, by your logic - you're saying they all got arrested & found guilty of treason for singing songs.

  • I bet this place is full of emos

  • if all you can do is make ad hominem attacks lay off the comment box

  • Wouldve been better if they all got shot in the end

  • fucking fucker! XD LOL funny my fav part

  • I believe that the patch of land he walks between his parents houses is the no mans land which means he plays with army men in the house to symbolize the war that goes on between his parents...maybe.....Prepare to die you fucking fucker!!!

  • Yeah... you'r right...

  • Wow, great short well done!

  • its about divorce

  • i didnt get it at all until i read the comments

  • prepare to die fuckin fucker :D

  • LOL

  • he has got the same name as me =)

  • I cried while watching this.

  • I remember playing with toy soldiers

  • i still do and im 14,..lol but now i use fire,..lol

  • funny accents lol.

  • This isnt about an actual war, its about his parents yelling and shouting at each other. This is a great short 5 stars.

  • Wonderful

  • is this vid about how his family can't be happy?

  • wut the fuck was this about there was no war i thought the father was going to be drafted or somthing

  • the boy is in the "no man's land"

  • @sasukekid177

    It was a reference to the Christmas of 1914 in the first world war i believe, where the fighting soldiers got out and played football in no man's land (here, the field) on Christmas Day, then went back to fighting the next day. QED

  • the boy is in no mans land ...

  • this video short was very pointless.......

  • it took me until like the last minute to understand this film haha

  • That was honestly amazing...World War 2, such a collateral time put in a fine short film. 5 Stars and faved, this is awesome.

  • the film isn't about ww2...

  • the worst bit was when he picked up swearing from his dad

    the best bit was when there all playing footy as a family

  • everyone check my eating shit video and my new stunt the beetle piercing..subscribe for more gnarly stunts"

  • football is a retarded sport.. why not chess ? that shows who is more intelligent .. not football

  • idk it would be werid having a war over chest

  • @acustic Are you kidding me you know how many plays formations calls and audibles you have to learn for football i play and its not as easy as you think

  • @gsando87

    Neither is chess.

  • I think that Instead of war we should solve problems by playing football. No cost, no deaths, but mostly we will all enjoy. Is not a soccer ball is called Football.

  • honestly...that wouldn't work...if a terrorist group fired upon a crowd of innocent people...you cant solve that issue with a game of football or chess or anything...everyone will use authorized force

  • @Theanimatedcow Well yeah, you're right. But between Nations.

  • Hey this is like what happened to me, but my father was just a junkie ,and My brother and I didn't get presents from anyone, but we turned out fine so FUCK YOU

  • that was actually a very good short. the whole time i thought the dad was going to war. then when that nioami girl popped up i thought the mother died in a war and the dad and mom we both soldiers. then the twist at the end where the war is actually the divorce that was good but sad.

  • stupid americans stole the name football

  • this is a great video, if you need an actor just call(LOL) but it's great, one thing they had just been playing football why would they start arguing imediatly? GOOD VID?

  • haha he's like im happy if I've got my fuckers and my fucked up little fuckers haha

  • all so true, your children hear everything.

  • DUDe I love ur vids make more videos.

  • I don't think it is 1 person i think its a team :D

  • my story is a way sad thene this,but what can i do!and what can i change !what happend did happend,nd life well go on.

  • it was sad, but great.

  • i just watched all their videos and god their all depressing

  • I thought New Boy was quite good, not *too* sad

  • Yeah.. each short has a message tho, so it's hard to knock'em.. but all depressing rofl.

  • I believe that if you were to put dates like, Dec 21... or what not, in a small text box at the bottom would help the viewer. But I definetly understand it more now after reading ziohohothis, comment, but it seems like he didn't pay attention in english class/not classed. J/K! lol

  • ok i didnt understand this any1 explain...

  • some people just need to be sterilized.  i think it's clear enough this kid is going to have some issues and be a burden to society

  • @SodiumCyanide what do you mean by sterilized?

  • this is sad because it is happening to many little kdis like this around the world. the people to blame are the parents for obviously rushing into their marriage or not getting to know each other well enough

  • the fighting between the parents depict the fighting between the germans and the british soldiers in the 1914. during christmas, they came together and stopped the war briefly, and played football. After that, they continued fighting. This is what the coming togehter of the arguing parents depict. it shows the unifying force of christmas.

  • holy shit i get it.

    like in WWI, on christmas like the russians and like the other poeple who were fighting, like, STOPPED fighting for 4 days on christmas and just kicked around a soccer ball between their trenches.

    OMG HISTORY CLASSED ACTUALLY CAME IN USE FOR ONCE.

  • It was 1914 with the Germans and the British soldiers.

  • but what your missing is that the German soldiers ended the peace by killing a British soldier who went out of his trench. but yeah thats what its bassically about

  • "Prepare to die you fucking fucker" hahahahhaha

  • I didn't like this one much.....

  • Did anyone else get that this movie was a re-telling of the 1914 X-mass truce? Made famous by the soccer game in the book "Silent Night" by Stanley Wientraub...? True story that really changes the perception of the film... look it up.

  • @antiflyingmonkeyz i thought i was really clever when i worked that out and i was going to tell everyone about it but you got there first ha ha ha Baa-humbug!

  • The Term "No man's land" is a war term to describe a piece of land between two enemies, which neither is willing to openly take control of the land out of fear of being attacked by the other.

  • I see why it didn't win any awards. But defenatly a good piece

  • wats up with the title?
