  • simon baker with ya rayah music AMAZING ! :D

  • i have not watched this film but i would reckon to think that the film does not address the white boy's decision to date and marry black. It probably does not show what struggles he is going through in dating out his race.

  • Just watched the movie for the first time. Cute storyline, but didn't really like it overall. :/

  • do any body know any other bw wm movies thats similar to this one!

  • @darkmountains7- The look you are refering to is priceless, and my take on it is as that black community expression goes Brian's nose was "wide open" for Kenya. He wanted her in the worst way. He had fallen hook,line and sinker for her, ha,ha,ha,ha.

  • @lovejoypain, I agree with you. I do believe he enjoyed doing this movie, in one of the extra segment on the Movie DVD he said that he likes doing love stories and how there aren't enough of those types of movies done in Hollywood. Also, i think it was in the People magazine interview of him and Sanaa they asked them if they were romantics and Sanaa said " I am" & Simon said "I'm hopeless" that is he is hopelessly romantic, Okay that does it, I want me a Simon Baker of my own!!!!!

  • Great choice of song!!

    

  • WOW. Perfect edits, perfect choice of song. This video's creator is someone who has LIVED this. Me too (see my channel wallpaper). I loved this movie when it came out.

  • Did they get married at the end ?? Is that their wedding when she kisses him at the end of this video - looks like she is holding a bouquet

  • @lword1970 yes they married at the end

  • Brilliant song and even more brilliant editing.

  • I liked the video and everything, but I don't agree with the song choice 'colorblind' for the reason that I don't recognize that as a viable way to acknowledge Kenya & Brian's relationship. It's like saying that they don't see each other as black or white, which I don't think solves anything and they don't act like that in the movie. I got the impression that Brian recognizes Kenya's identity as a black woman and does what he can to understand that, not disregard it.

    Anyway, good editing XD

  • @CadaverouslyIll That's all true but this song represents Kenya's POV.

    "I am covered in skin.

    No one gets to come in."

    When you listen to lyrics and actually watch how I pulled it from Kenya's POV, it makes much more sense that way.

  • @fireteardrops fer sure, I just rewatched it. I didn't even think about it being from Kenya's pov. I just judged it from it being representational of their relationship as a whole, but it does make sense in that respect. Chill, that's for clearing that up.

  • @CadaverouslyIll - you are on target . there is nothing worse than a white person saying to their black friend - I don;t see you as black - why not ?? there is nothing wrong with black - its beautiful :)

  • @dawand123 You'll disown your daughter for loving a white man when there are daughters out there who lie and steal behind their parents' backs? As long as you have a healthy daughter in a safe, loving relationship, that should be all that matters to you. There's way too much that's wrong with the world today for you to disown your daughter simply for falling in love. You're being ridiculous and clearly just trying to start something.

  • @dawand123 So we're still generalizing enemies into racial categories? I didn't know we were still living in the 50s. Times are changing. Stop being a bitter, textbook-stereotype.

  • @dawand123 - Lol you sound like you belong at an Extremist Black Panther Meeting. My goodness you're racist. 

  • @dawand123 youre a nut job, black women are not the only ones who would sleep with a white person, where i livew i hear black dudes every day talk about how they love a black sista, but they will jump on a white or asian chick in a hot second. it doesnt bother me none cuz i don't like black men sexually they are still fun to kick it with though! :)

  • @dawand123 being black, your extremest pro-blackness scares me just as much as the KKK.

    maybe you won't ever love everyone on this earth, but let's at least try to all respect each other on this earth.

  • from how brian said to kenya "Im going hiking and your coming w/ me" Id be like ok :D

    this is a good song of choice!!! and great video BIG KUDOS!!!( I remember this from cruel intentions and never listened to the words);p

  • Love the movie and this video. Thanks soooo much for posting! 

  • Simon Baker + Nicholas Sparks movie = amazingER

  • ahhhh Simon Baker....lucky bastard in this movie

  • I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie so much. Just Gorgeous <333

  • Love this movie. Love Simon Baker!!!!!

  • Love is NOT colour blind…just blind to colour. When you love someone your love everything about them- including their colour and the feel of their skin. Thank you for your video.

  • Why do I get the feeling that even though Simon Baker is married in real life....he enjoyed making this movie : -)

  • amo a simon bakerrrrrrrrrr hablara españlllll

  • GO INTERRACIAL COUPLES!!!!

  • This movie was amazing! I am truly a new fan of the director Sanaa Hamri!

    I hope she makes a movie like this but with an African American woman and an African man! Now that is an unexplored pairing!

  • @HoneySwtDrms She directed the movie "Just Wright" starring Queen Latifa and Common.

  • @CaptivatingBeauty Luk 6:44 For every tree is known by his own fruit.

    Gen 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed [was] in itself, after his kind:

    THE SEED THAT IS IN A MAN BRINGS FORTH AFTER HIS KIND! tHIS SCRIPTURE IS VERY SPIRITUAL AND IS LOST IN THIS EARTH TODAY...THERE IS NO MIXED PEOPLE ON THIS EARTH THAT IS A WHITE MANS PHILOSOPHY THE LORD GOES BY THE SEED! YOU ARE THE SEED OF YOUR FATHER!!!

  • Sanaa Lathan is beautiful....

  • Beautiful choice in Music :)

  • It's tough for black people. No matter what anyone says, black people are free. Free to live as they want. However, they are under pressure to build up the black family/community/nation. Thus, they are pressured to marry other black people.

    But love is blind...and frankly, true love is more rare than you think. If you find true love, do not let go. Having a loving family/community/nation is better than a race-based one.

  • @TheGoalSetter BTW: Lots of whites are under a similar pressure. And as whites' population percentage decreases there will be a rise of this pressure amongst whites.

    Heck, this sort of pressure is in all races. But since the concept of race is man-made, it doesn't have a chance against nature.

  • Loveit, would someone pleaseeeeee upload the movie and probably title it SN(something new) if they are afraid that utube would delete it pretttty pleaseeeeee

  • Simon will always be the protagonist in "Land of the Dead". I keep expecting him to pick off one of the living dead when I see these scenes ;-D

  • Not only is Simlon Baker super sexy but this is the sweetest, most beautiful, and passionate movie that I have ever seen. I love this movie.

  • This was absolutely beautiful

  • I don't see this movie ! But when I see this video , I think is a romantic film ! And Simon Baker and Sanaa Lathan are so beautiful ! Thanks to sharing this video !

  • Lovely vid

  • love this movie.give us more of this...

  • I love Simon Baker; he's a great actor, and one of the most gorgeous man on the face of this earth. I love this movie, and I've seen it quite a few times. And seeing this movie so many times, I've many favorite parts, but one of my top ten in this whole movie is how Simon looks just the moment before he drops the bags. I love it; I don't know why, but I do.

  • @darkmountains7 - Do you know where I can see this movie??

  • Comment removed

  • @TrillianS8 - Mo i don't! But we can buy it in Norway to, I'm not saying that we can't...

  • @TrillianS8 - no i don't... okay, I kinda figured it was a store, but whatever. I am not going to be sorry for not having Wal-mart in my country-.-

  • @SuperPheebs I'm sorry if what i said came off rude to you. i want to reassure you that I didn't mean it anyway. i will delete my comment if that will make it better, but i was just jokingly saying that. Again I'm sorry if it came off rude. i was not trying to be. :(

  • @TrillianS8 - haha it's okay dude/dudine =) No worries. I understand you, sarcastic comments is awesome/fun to write... so thanks for the apologize but no worries, really! =)

  • great video :) love this movie

  • Never seen the filam,like the song.Wanna see the filam now.

  • perfect song

  • Love the song seen the movie many times one of my Favorits

  • I love this movie...the video you've created is great...

  • devine symbolism.

  • Beautiful...

  • actually teetee u are making a valid point and i agree with sguardian that i never took the coloblind thing literal when datin outside my race but yeah i see ur point

  • love this love is color blind

  • good job on the vid music choice and all

  • This film is great..

  • I agree

  • I have to add: I had (and still have) tears in my eyes when I watched this for the first time...

  • This is lovely, beautiful symbolism with the colours

  • This is soooooo beautiful! Thanks for posting! Simon is so wonderful, "The Mentalist" started here in Germany almost 4 weeks ago and since then, I am totally in love with this guy!

  • That's my sister from another mother.

  • He is freaking gorgeous.

  • love it. Love all three: The movie, your vid, and your choice of music. Well done!!!

    Cheers:)

  • I love your symbolism..

    It's like, whenever Kenya is sony seeing things from a "black and white perspective, she's in black and white." When she's almost there..it's more of a watered down color. When she's totally engaged with Brian, it's totally color.

    Very nicely done.

  • I went out and bought this movie and song. I love them both.

  • nicely done!!!!

  • Mind you, I agree with your sentiment. However, the question is misleading.

  • i saw a bit of this movie when i was pertty young. it seemed so strange to me why people seemed to be making a big deal about it. now, that i'm a bit older, and i had completely forgotten i had seen it, watching this video made me cry. and didnt soemone else make the song colorblind? are counting crows the original?

  • So did I. I remember back when Simon Baker was on 'The Guardian' how I used to look at him and think, "this guy could be a great cast in an interracial love story of some kind. I could see him with a black chick on screen." I don't know why, there was just something about him. And then, voila! here comes 'Something New.' And I was right. He and Sanaa rocked!

  • I agree.. I had the same thought. I get that same feeling with Edward Norton too.

  • I agree. Where is Ed Norton?

  • I lovede this movie!

  • Why is the theme about being "colorblind?" If there are interracial relationships, I should hope that one of the things that attracts those involved is some aspect of physical appearance. That includes skintone/ethnic background, big time. Please do NOT be colorblind, for if you are, then you aren't seeing all of your partner--and therefore how can you love them? My skin is beautiful and my partner should not only be able to see it, but cherish it. Anything less is just unconcious racism.

  • teetee to be honest i have never thought of it in this way ive always though the fact i dated interracially i should over look the colour but ur right we are our colour its who we are and how we identify and if u fall in love with someone it should be abt everything including their color man ur deep lol or did u get that from a book lol

  • Nah, no books sg. Just living through this life and dealing with relationships is enough for learning this kind of stuff, LOL.

  • This song isn't about being "literally" being colorblind.

  • No, but the term is and has been a common refrain about how interracial relationships should go: that in order to be in one, physical attributes or backgrounds must be downplayed in fear of merely having an empty fetish for another race. That's silly. The couple is just supposed to go their time together without seeing what each other looks like--and loving it? Doesn't make sense. Same race couples aren't put to this kind of standard, are they?

  • Got it. However, that's not the "theme" of the song. I'm responding to your post which was about the theme, not the "term." I think it's important to make a distinction between the two.

  • OK, well then, help me out here: if it isn't the theme of the song, then why is the song the soundtrack to the mvid?

  • Comment removed

  • they have really good chemistry

  • I love this movie...not only because Sanaa and Simon are talented and beautiful people, but I love the message of the movie. My fiance's family, some of them are leery of us getting married because I am Mexican. He is white. But he loves me and I love him, and that is all that matters. :)

  • Love is all that counts

  • love is important but it's not the greatest factor in why relationships work. You can love someone and still give in to societal pressures...relationships that work are the ones were people are strong and are willing to fight for their happiness.

  • This is a fantastic video!!! I loved it!

  • a man painting a woman toenails (not finger nails) is soooooooooooooooooooo romantic!!!!

  • yessss!!! i am mexican and my boyrfriend is polish. we come from very different backgrounds but yet we love each other so much. soon i will move to germany to be with him. i have never felt this way before about anyone. color, culture, in the end it doesnt matter. love is stronger than death.

  • What a fabulous video using the Counting Crows "Colorblind" as back drop. SN was just a delightfully sexy and wonderful film that I have watched over and over again. The chem betw SL/SB was off the chain hott and sexy! SB is fine as hell and SN is just gorgeous and put together = smokin' hot! This movie brought up some truths and I still don't see why people have to be all up in other peoples grill about IR dating. Hell, we all bleed the color red, right?! Beautiful video and song..

  • I saw this movie. It's Right On target! Loved It! This video is just Beautiful! I nearly cried!!

  • i love this movie

  • Love is colorblind and thats what really matters: love NOT color. I'm a black woman in love with a white man, and this movie totally made me smile. I'd rather be in love with the sweetest, most genuine, passionate, loveing and funniest man I've ever known and have alot in common with that happens to be white. I don't want to just keep dating inside my race and ending up going through man after man for years. Sometimes love is waiting outside your race bubble.

  • I feel like color should not matter because it is still a man and a women and they can produce beautiful babies its still love.

  • This was beautiful and the song fits perfectly. I definitely agree race shouldn't matter when it comes to love.

  • This video made me wanna cry.I love this movie it was so sweet.I'm am about to buy it just because of this video.

  • highly under rated movie....if you don't feel anything for this couple....you must be cold hearted. Thinking maybe this should be re-released. I also bought the dvd. ric

  • I wish someone would put the whole movie here on youtube...

  • wow this is incredible

  • and now sanaa lathan reprises her role as a successful black woman who dates a white man. Damn I want her agent. Simon baker is delicious.

  • I was pleasantly surprised by this movie, Sanaa and Simon were great. This song was made for this movie, and this video. The clips you chose were in sync with every lyric. Perfect!!

  • black women and white man

    that's the kinda relationship I want =]

  • WONDERFUL video!! The way you matched the words with the actions ~ WOW!!! fireteardrops, you did a BANGIN' job with this! True depiction of what the movie was all about! Bravo!

  • can someone upload the whole movie please

  • what does that have to do w/ anything?

  • It was just a sarcastic joke. Wasn't serious...even though it is true though.

  • LOL You crazy and that was funny.

  • proberly that's why she chose a white man? LOL

  • i love this song and its good for the movie thanks for making

  • i love this movie, sanaa and simon are both gorgeous and good actors too, the chemistry was so strong between those two they look really cute together i could so see them together in real life but simons married and i don't know about sanaa, darn, lol

  • My father who is a doctor has always reminded me that in the operating room once you remove the skin we are all the same with a unique genetic makeup. Anyone person that displays anger, hatred or bitterness against another's race is because of the insecurity that hides in their hearts. Be free from judgment and prejudice and you are giving yourself the opportunity of a lifetime. We need to heal their is hope in love. Ask God who freely gives to those that want to change.

  • What is Nsilfx said is beautiful and true!!! You have a good Dad!

  • Thanks for your comment. It is refreshing to find one person that would consider another's point of view. Have a great day!

  • Will to love and you conquer the world. For God so loved the world that He gave... Love involves sacrifice without expecting anything in return. An unexpected act of kindness, affection, and compassion goes a long way. We as people of diverse background need a different outlook on the things that really matter in life.  When my mother died from leukemia four years ago not one person thought of her race, she was remembered for who she really was inside, a loving caring person.

  • I just rented the movie and watched it for the first time. This was a beautiful movie that covered the emotions connected to race. My background is Cuban my father is very dark and my mother was very light she looked Italian. I thank my parents for having the courage to love each other. I do not think that there is anything wrong with dating or marrying outside your race. Love exposes the souls of two people not their race. Love is a commitment of the heart, the spirit, and the mind.
