  • @Larouge07 The most valuable resource isn't gold or diamond, it's people. The quality of our relationships with other people determines our happiness and well being. It stupid to discount people for frivolous reasons because then you miss their true value.

  • i knew he was a Nazi... i also knew that he had a soft heart

  • thats in hollans

  • She's so pretty. Her big eyes and soft cheek bones.

  • Esse video é extraordinário de tão massa!

  • hate leaves no room for love...just anger, sadness, and regret.

    too bad...

  • @ateffii he is ugly.

  • @ateffii yes she is for true

  • beautiful

  • my heart was in my stomach when he turned around

  • The subtle little smiles on his face are incredible.

  • the ending was obvious from the start.

  • I loved it. So short and yet so sweet :)

  • I just watched it again.. Beautiful work. But now I'm just frustrated with him b/c he totally missed out soo bad. Now all he has is the smell of her which will drive him nuts b/c it's the cruel reminder of what he missed out on. Argh. So sad.

  • That was awesome. When I saw his the Tattoo on his neck I literally giggled to myself and said, "Wow, that's awesome." This was great I'm really glad I stumbled into this.

    The whole time while watching I was like, well, aren't going to say something!

    haha. Great stuff.

  • I really enjoyed this video. Thanks Stevey McDonald for uploading it. When it comes to the color of people's skin, I'm color blind. I don't judge people based on their skin complection. Thats not how I was raised. If people would just put color aside & open their minds to the possibility, there might not be so many lonely & single people out there. Your soulmate just may be someone of a different race but how would you know that if all you see is the color of someone's skin color?

  • The end of this video was very emotional for me. For the first time in over 20 years, today I experianced racism. My boyfriend's white & I'm black. Where I'm from, interracial dating is very common. You see it everywhere you go. When I logged on to YouTube, I had a message from someone I didn't know. When I read it, it said "You're an ugly ni**er & your boyfriend is stupid for being with you."Wondering why someone would say that to me, I went to their page & it said Hitler was God. How ignored.

  • @Sharane34 You have the last laugh!..don't worry about that fool.

  • @Sharane34 We all have a tendency to fear the unknown and misunderstood. Be it another race, another culture, another species. The human race will fight racism by fighting overall ignorance. Keep your head up.

  • My jaw hit the floor when I saw his swastika tattoo...Such a powerful piece. It really reduces them down to just two people who came from different worlds, and the sadness that he caged himself from feeling free enough to speak to this beautiful woman who just happened to be of color. To quote an Amos Lee lyric, "We all got the same bloodflow"...To the creators of this piece, thanks for making this, and thanks steveymcdonald for posting this!

  • Dear God!......

  • WTF came to mind thank God that girl walked away.

  • i literally jumped.

  • totally unexpected...i mean wow!

  • IM LIKE OMG!!! *MOUTH DROPPED OPEN*

  • they could have least used a better actor, normally racist skinheads have some stubble, this guy doesnt even look like a skinhead but a cancer patient.

  • infantile commie attempt..

  • that just made me feel MEGA awkward!! Wat is the meaning of the video?? The whole time I felt like he was interested in her and when they made eye contact and she responded positively to his interest but it was awkward cause its like "how does a wht guy approach a blk grl w/o gettin shot down" BUT THEN she gets off the train and you see what his looks were rly for! I dont understand, idk how to interpret this...

  • @SumerSmiles the look were real. he couldn't approach her even though he wanted to because he had already caged himself with hate.

  • amazing!

  • @NoOneInParticular09 You are just dumb.

    It is just a film, Lighten up.

  • @NoOneInParticular09 I thought she could have apologized as well: but you will find a subset of shorts / indie type films like to be just silent -- it forces you to think (what ifs) more. Also, how else would she have gotten the bag up / down; ask him to move? Not likely. There is no evidence she say the tattoo, or more likely than not she would have stopped smiling!

  • @NoOneInParticular09 shut up.

  • I SERIOUSLY didn't see that one coming!! (thatswhatshesaid)

  • @DavincisBrush1 lol witht the thing u said in the brackets

  • The ending is so good. It makes you think about how a person is in a group, and how so much can change about that person when no one else is around. How true feelings come out when it's just one on one

  • @CandECain so, in your opinion, what skingeads do to black people when in a group?

  • still dont get it what he wants to do :p

  • @Yoshifurmi he's tryna get it

  • It's all about Social Acceptance, and then about when the people you socialize with are no longer there to influence you.

  • WOW incredible video

  • Comment removed

  • OMG! WHY??!?!??!

  • The "white guy" doesn't look white at all...

  • Brilliant Idea!

    really like this video!

  • Brilliant idea!

  • Oh my god! It left me more questions than answers!

  • How can people complicate their life...

    Very emotional!

  • Конец плохой ....

  • At the end that was kind of sad, he liked her but he doesn't know if he should go after her because of what he believed in. I love all the videos you have posted up

  • wow impressive !

  • WHAO that caught me off guard!

  • alucinante

  • powerful

  • some times i act as nazi but i had the same situation in my life. =))

  • Comment removed

  • Ha. The ending is comical. It was better left implicit. Just let the weight of societal pressure be the hindrance not his extreme belief.

    Still, not bad.

  • That remarkable in it cinema? What Negroes too people?? Well also what? Start up live at itself in Africa.

    Homo homini lupus est!

  • Unexpected! Great movie! Ohh I liked that the voices from the train thingies were dutch haha!

  • No hay hora, ni fecha, ni lugar, ni raza, ni fronteras, ni ideales para enamorarse.

    Aqui y ahora

  • deep meaning behind that movie

  • Pretty good at telling the story without words.

  • People make problem ourself, how you can choose smth without feeling it? How can you know what you are...without letting yourself be everything...)

  • Very good!)

  • YEHA THINK BFOR GETTING TTAATS MAN!

  • so he is jewish?

  • @synterlu haha :p

  • Its great in the way that it made him question himself and his ideals. He thought twice.

  • и в чём смысл?

  • в том, что люди сами создают себе проблемы..

  • Humans weren't "placed" on separate continents. We evolved differently depending on the environment we lived in.

    Blacks lived in africa and close to the equator, so they have darker skin to be protected from the sun. Europeans weren't exposed to such intense sunlight, so their melanin producers(the black pigment) disappeared.

    I am white, and I am not only attracted to my own race. I would probably date a black girl as long as she wasn't some sassy, ghetto, obnoxious chick.

  • @9totenkopf The reason why there are different main races is because they were separated geographically and evolved in different patterns. No God intervention, just pure natural selection and evolution. Natural instinct that attracts us to our own race ? Please man, give me a break. There's no such instinct. It's called upbrining. In multicultural areas like London for example there are a lot of mixed couples.

  • powerful!

  • Amazing! :)

  • The best video i have seen in weeks.. .stunning

  • omg. it's so sad....

  • Очень хороший ролик!

  • what exactly was going on did he like her or was he looking at her to kill her what was it about.

  • Impasse - means " A situation that is so difficult that no progress can be made; a deadlock or a stalemate" ..its like he was interested for the first time but knowing what he truly is..he cant do anything about it ever

  • Fantastic.

  • шикарно :)

  • Five stars.

  • yeap. Think twice before to put yourself (or before to let others to put yourself) into frames that will make you unhappy. And probably, not only you.

  • siic

  • ???

  • amazing and unexpected end...

    the ironic side of life..

  • So great. This is my second time seeing this for the year and I still smiled. Very cute story and very real. I've seen this happen before, even to myslef. Good twist that you added at the ending though, with the swastika...

  • Comment removed

  • that was a good ending, even if you saw it coming it was well thought out i think.

    cute how he is so close to saying something all the time.

  • i'm sorry, i'm a li'l slow. please confirm. he find the woman attractive even though he hates black? that's the shocking part?

  • Yea kinda but in the end you see a swastika sign on his neck which show he is white nazi but he like dat black girl.:D

  • Comment removed

  • I actually wasn't expecting that at all! Really well done short film! I spoke a lot without having any dialogue at all

  • I did see the end coming. Quite obviously actually. The descriptive text along the side says 'he shows his real colors'. And then you see a skinhead. So that had be a nazi-loving guy. It was too obvious that it did not surprised me.

  • wow that was amazing very interesting the swastika was a very interesting twist

  • hijo de puta el calvo

  • swastika

  • Comment removed

  • The end was shocking; completely unexpected.

    Nice work.

  • wow... stunning

  • Powerful stuff!

    Excellent movie! 5/5

    (Only 226 views? in my opinion this needs to reach millions of people.)

  • The video just uploaded in 24 hours ago.

    Digg it up!

  • Well I'm spreading the word to most of my friends atm. I hope many will see it. =)

  • awkward

  • So amazing.

  • Human

  • Wow... amazing. I did not see it coming. Wonderful reveal. I absolutely love films that don't need words to tell a story; they are so much more powerful. Beautifully done.

  • My words exactly.

  • Had it yesterday night 11minutes?

  • I had some technical difficulties with the video last night. It was playing in slow motion and wrong playback timing. Had to converted it in different format....more suitable for YouTube.

  • wow!
