Yeah...moving away can be hard but its always good to take a little bit of your home with you...=)...I really liked this video because its sweet and true...I like the message that was put into this video...=)...
I have a friend who served in the Air Force. Due to the nature of his job, he went to multiple countries, and I was always envious because I was stuck at home. So, what he would do was that he would drink a local bottle of water from where ever he was... when it was empty he would seal it shut, and then mail it to me. Bottled air from around the world. :) Though opposite of this video, it reminded me of that -- and made me happy.
@PopsySisters101 she grew up as a city girl and she ends up moving outside of the city or to a new place. she uses those small bottles to 'collect' the memories she had in her old place and brings it with her. the meaning behind this video is that wherever life takes you, you always bring a piece of home along with you.
I go to Cal and It's just the most amazing thing looking across the bay and seeing the SF lights. I love the way the bridges light up and the lights ablaze in the city at night. This video just made me appreciate the city so much more. I live in the suburbs and I don't want to leave these beautiful city lights, even if it's just for a month.
thanks for this video =) i've been missing sf soo much but watching this brought a huge smile to my face. also, i'm so happy to have met you guys this week--you guys were awesome! :)
This is so beautiful. It makes me cry. But it makes me happy too. My life would suck without Wong Fu Productions, they make me smile and cry. And sometimes when I really need to cry and I can´t, I cry when I watch a touching Wong Fu video and it makes me feel better.
I live in sweden and my biggest dream right now is to meet Wesley, Philip and Ted. But that is just a dream, and it will never come true.
I know, I can´t spell english very well, but I´m just a little girl with big dreams. <3
@Tim1dslayer I grew up in the Bay Area all my life (Fremont, CA is my hometown)...now attending college at UCR (yeah, Southern California is a big transistion)...and riding the BART was fun (well, depending on my moods) but they were nevertheless enjoyable to ride on, glaring out the window and seeing the scenery fly by. This short makes me want to cry at times too...so peaceful. :)
@joshcooldudeyeah California is a wonderful place after all though right :D? Don't forget to go back to the Bay Area from time to time and enjoy all the places to visit! Especially Berkeley and all the Crepe places <3
@Tim1dslayer Thanks! I just went back last weekend actually to attend a church retreat (in Berkeley and Alameda), and man, every time I go back, I can't help but remember the cold weather this time of year (not to mention, the rain too). GO NORCAL! IT'S HELLA TIGHT! :D
@Tim1dslayer True, but every time I go back, I just get feelings of nostalgia over and over again you know?
But making the transition to SoCal (and possibly leaving it again in the near future) is gonna make me feel nostalgalic about this place too. I'm currently in Riverside, attending my first year of college at UC Riverside! :D
What great timing, I miss my sister so much because she just left for the UK recently and I'm in KL, Malaysia , I've posted this video on her facebook wall to say may she always have a "peace" of home with her :'). Thanks.
so lovely! awhh, i want to do that the next time i go on holiday, so when i get home again and feel all sad, i can hear the sea and the people and the breeze.... <3
Wow. I was born and raised in SF then moved to a town just down the road from Philip's hometown in Walnut Creek to raise my own kids. I wished I had those little canisters every day.
The irony: My own kids spend more time in SF than in the 'burbs now. ;=)
I used to believe that this would be possible, though that if I waved my arms backward, time would go back, and dreamt in the night about jumping off my bed and flying.
Too bad there's always adults to squash your dreams.
OMG it's san Francisco Chinatown!!! And Bart!!!! YEEE NOW I WANNA VISIT THE CITY... anyways that's awesome I didn't know u guys were from the bay area!
OH MY GOODNESS! I can't believe how creative WongFu is CREATIVE with not just the short film itself, but also the TITLE. Using the HOMOPHONES for "PEACE" and "PIECE" they showed that not only she felt PEACE from her homesickness, but also she TOOK A PIECE of home with her.
hey guys just started a youtube channel you guys should check it out and comment .,and tell me how i can make my videos better .and dont forget to subscribe
i feel like it would be cuter if the girl was younger or if the main character was a boy. i'm a teenage asian girl and i can't relate to her story very well.
@axfndi62 it was supposed to be where she used to live thats why it was only san francisco, she just wanted to remember san francisco after she moved so yeah shes not gonna go to new york if she didnt live there
wow this short film made me cry because im moving to riverside CA and i lived in lynwood since the 2nd grade and im 10th grader because moving is something very hard to do especially leaving ur friends and family i think im going to that
@09276000865mynumber It's a play on words. Because home is "peaceful" and the girl collected pieces of her hometown, so having a "peace of home", is inferred as, a peaceful piece of home.
