Innocence

[xlmnsx]

I find it hard to express how poignant this video was- it brought tears to my eyes. It's a incredibly sad thing that you're representing, and you do it well. RIP to all those who've died for our freedom. And thank you.

[pandailover99]

i do not support war in any way, but this, the acting, diecting, just everything, got to me, thankyou for that wonderful video, it was a heart-felt messgae

Fighting For Bottle of OIL

[xRideOnTheSkyx]

This is just amazing :O What camera do you use, its amazing quality! (:

[destiegoesrawr]

This is simply genius !

[outsideaglass]

And this was beyond beautiful. Thank you so much for this. My brother in law is in the army (american), he's been to Iraq and Afghanistan, and my uncle was in Vietnam and my grandpa in WW2. And having heard stories- I just want to thank you for this perfect video. Innocence indeed. We've already won.

[outsideaglass]

@blackelsy I'm American, and I want to be in the Air Force one day. I say that all people are our people- I don't care whether you're Korean or Swedish or Chilean or Ugandan or Austrailian or whatever. You're my fellow human being. And I think that any force that's fighting for human rights- whether or not its their country- is fighting for their people. It's not different.

[loverXofXallXlovable]

This video actually brought tears to my eyes. It's amazing how a message so short can be so powerful.

[onewithacrazysister]

whats the music in the background?



[sayotlittler]

@onewithacrazysister

anno domoni beats, "the outcast",

it goes by real quick in the credits, but that's what the credits say

[onewithacrazysister]

@sayotlittler o thx! :D

[sayotlittler]

@onewithacrazysister

no prob

[graceher]

This was amazing... but thanks to "that guy" I got to see this! Like if that got you here!

[drakelord94]

hi guy

[blanquita0623]

Powerful. I can't even begin to describe my feelings now..

[xlollipopyum]

I cried my soul out.

I thank all soldiers that went out to war for our freedom. I thank all soldiers that went out to war for our rights. We didn't ask them, but they did it anyway. The died for us. And for that, they deserve much more than anything else in this world. My heart goes out for them, and to their loved ones. I am forever in their debt, and I will always respect them.

May you forever joyfully laugh in paradise.

Rest in peace.

[EllaTheEccentric]

I got this link from a D-Trix video expecting to see another funny guy with funny videos. I'm glad I clicked on it to see this deep and meaningful video. It honestly brought tears to my eyes. Good job, Justin Safaei. This is amazing.

[FMAguru2007]

I came here because of DTrix, and I'm glad I did.

[TheYimmy3232]

I Cried....

[LigerX97]

Wow. This is simply powerful and incredibly well-done. I didn't even know about the Bytyqi brothers until this video; a part of history that doesn't seem to have garnered much attention. Maybe one day we can forgo our human frailties and inclination to violence and make Eve Merriam's wish come true. No more senseless deaths. No more hate.

[RockLeePeaceGai]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this....

[RandomSuperstar1]

this made me cry :(

[eminavujasevic]

Gosh!!

This video made me cry...People are really turning into monsters.We don't need wars.We don't need fights.We need to be like brothers and sisters...Unfortunately ..we'll never be:///

[velmamlev]

really made me cry

[enigmao1o]

can u give the music plx ????

[yoomie99]

That was an intense short video. Very well done on the story parallels.

[DYE9]

Wow.

This deserves more views!

[starburstx03]

very well done..

[sandraismm]

why is his views so low!??

[hereisjojo]

heart wrenching

[DREAMERzzzzzzz]

how can i get this music

[TheMrWilbur]

@DREAMERzzzzzzz The violin in the background can be found here /watch?v=-EQ6eHeBrhM, then I assume he would have used mixcraft or a similar program to create a loop of the drum beat that can be heard throughout. Please note I am just assuming here, for all we no it may have been recorded by jsafaei. What ever he did it is really beautiful. This is my favorite video on YouTube at the moment.

[lawnceWOO]

wow.. this was really nicely made

[justwannahavefun123]

Its funny how auto-tuned celebs get a million views but this video only gets 10,000...

[iL0v3M0nkeys]

lol 777 likes and 7 dislikes... is 7 a lucky number?

[ratserif]

May God Bless All the Fallen Soldiers, thier families and Loved one's

[enigmao1o]

u expect more views bro

[anime1940]

The sad truth of reality. This stuff really does happen. It shows that you never know what your future holds. Also that people give there LIVES to protect yours so that fact that people even have the thought to dislike this video means their pathetic children who don't respect the life that is given to them. Just sayin

[ThatWhiteGuy97]

You need to send this to someone like RayWilliamJohnson to get this noticed. This video is just amazing. Breathtaking. Inspiring.

[HungryScottishPerson]

@ThatWhiteGuy97 I agree completely.

[Tr0LLzaNAT0R]

@ThatWhiteGuy97 I agree and I punch to blow you while you rub my nipples with sandpaper.

[ThatWhiteGuy97]

@Tr0LLzaNAT0R Thanks?

[jasskarn666]

thats how it goes always only the difference is we are changing and we always think in the same way

[albadream01]

Kosovo don't forget 1999...never.my father died in war by the serbs bitchz

[zaiidaily]

so meaningful ~ love it !

[darksquirrel122]

That was a devastatingly beautiful video..

[megahoodoo]

You Guys the hole world is a team why are we doing this!

[Brigada510]

How does this not have more views! Amazing job guys...really moving.

[lovebugg327]

This video is so intense!

[JahnProductions]

Great cinematography. Beautiful captured. Inspiring in it's own way.

[defyingcredentials]

this was amazing

[iNeedSomethinCatchy]

this is touching. coming from me as a military child

[biguglytree]

Thank you all for the comments about our film -

[BaileyC213]

unbelieveable...U should be president man. That was so moving

[thechannelofmia]

GREAT FOOTAGE! You guys rock! And im guessing you used an airsoft gun?

[BlameThePigeon]

oh wow, that was brilliant.

[mgabrielyan]

This was a very inspiring video! Keep uo the great work!

[guitarhero4578]

This is great

[aurachelau]

Wow, this is absolutely beautiful. I love the whole set up and the comparison thingy you did. And the lines! I got goosebumps when they said "We're gonna win this" and "we've already won."

I'm glad I subscribed to ya! :)

[Shaynathepain]

so sad!



[eurochaba7]

feels good to know that someone get interested by the story of theses american guys, but what about the hundreds of thousands of people from kosovo that died too?

[woahhazel]

3 brothers dying together :(

the last scene with them dead in the pit & lying on the soccer field was the most touching. i really enjoyed this video. thank you for sharing.

[constantfear]

It was good, however Fighiting for freedom ? especially American soldiers ? the only thing American soldiers fight for are US interests and the ZIonist Lobby. You're the main cause of oppression through out the world.

[StupidKevinBlog]

this is touching .

[CrazedPedestrain]

this was a truely excellent film. thank you for making it.

[IrishDrummerSkater1]

@jsafaei

I can only say I hope this will lead that the war, hatred and the killing finally stops

[pretendingray]

This is the most amazing thing i've seen on youtube! honestly. It's so poweful, really touches your heart. War is never the answer to any problem, just the route to more destruction. I'm 19, and all my life all I've heard of is murders and injustice. Who gives a fuck if your muslim, american, or jewish. No one deserves to die like this.

This is beautiful yo, and well done.

Just hope the middle east and America can put their difference aside.

Lifes valuable.

[L1nked1n2dafuture]

Thank you.

[Musicforlifezs]

Omg this made me cry !! Great job guys <3

[Squishfie]

This really brought tears to my eyes. beautifully done

[RosaneLuli]

All people deserve to live ... everyone was once a child too ...

[PowerDJuiceD]

[VansFullOfPandas]

this is amazing.

[TheNielsMusic]

[Daynzish]

incredible cinematography and an incredible story... really hits home for me :'(

[telsah1]

@UltimatrixDan I've got a smile for you. Thanks for being kind. The video is a tough one to take in. Sadly there's too much pain in the world and too many willing to inflict it. We are all born the same way. We all want to live and love our loved ones and we all die. We are all just humans. We are all the same. May the inflicters have a heart.

[WannabeRoxie]

My god.

[DaGreatOneJobril]

Dude that made me cry.

[kst626]

Put simply, this was amazing.

[telsah1]

If we all loved each other  with REAL love then this world would be my idea of heaven.

[UltimatrixDan]

@telsah1 Alas sadly that is something impossible.

[telsah1]

I wish ALL humans would LOVE ALL humans.

[spazzynatty123]

just beautiful. wonderful job.

[OXOXGaaraOXOX]

This was really awesome

[MI8CH2LL2]

I wish the 3 people who disliked this video was shot instead of the 3 brothers. thumbs up if u agree

[WulfieGem]

@MI8CH2LL2

Why would you ever wish that on anyone? Maybe they didn't like it because they have family who are soldiers, and it really hurt them.

Anyways, this was amazing. It really gets to you. It makes you think about the families that are broken apart, the thousands of people who lose their lives for this. War just isn't worth it.

[SuperVegito9000]

Hey,Chester liked it! =)

[jjkkaa27]

This was amazing! and sad :'( because it is so true.

[13crazyme13]

that was amazing i was captivated the hole time and cried at the end amazing!

[ItsMyNijntje]

there's only one thing to say about this:

wow <3

[TryAlive]

I cried. please tell me I'm not the only one

[letmein123abc]

woah the long hair guy looks like mark walberg

[teddielil]

this is just...indescribable!

[ohwhererehwho]

Innocence endures in its purity. It is only covered up, buried under, with the potential for brutality and ugliness as found only in humanity's blind vengence towards humanity.

[sarepaar]

it beautiful but what bothers me is that people only cry because Amercan people die. They are in a place where it is war. There are much more people dying there.

[dannie41091]

AMAZINGGGG!!!!!! im speechless, i mean WOWWWW!

(and what ever happened to that Five movie with chestersee??)

[grorud10]

Good video, you really get emotions out of it

[TheChocolateChiken]

This is that one movie we see on youtube these days.. Maybe once a year, That moves people so much we forget about those mainstream music videos, talent shows, reality shows etc. And just appreciate, that brothers hold each other in arms with blood spilt on foreign land to stand as guardian for their home country.

R.I.P. To all Soldiers - Killed and Thank You - To all the wounded by warfare.

our soul, heart and nations stand with you.

[sind0o]

SPEECHLESS <3

[AlexisSaniel]

this IS true art

[TheTonyMontanah]

[TheGreekJim]

you are a true artist

[Altairescu]

Chester See brought me here. That's why I thought it would be something funny, but damn... :|

[Isamy]

I'd just like to say (after reading the comments): Every life is precious, a child in Iraq is as precious as a child in America or Europe, start making some sense please.

[LanaMcKissack]

Really great work, Justin. I'm such a fan of your talent.

[PointerRyan]

damn this is really beautiful. excellent job again guys

[iRawrRiceMonster]

Oh my god. I cried. This was really inspirational. I can't say I'm a true American but this made me realize how important it was to appreciate our troops and how precious their lives are. Thank you for opening my eyes.

[lesh21]

this film only scratches the surface of what really happened during the Kosovo war. genocide occurred like the jews in ww2 except

Muslims were being murdered and tortured to death

[flawsforkicks]

[joliemidori]

This video was so sad. I wanted to cry.

[KingzOfPop]

The footage is beautiful. What do you film with?

[jsafaei]

@KingzOfPop This was filmed entirely on the Canon 7D

[KingzOfPop]

@jsafaei Really? Wow, I had no idea the 7D footage looked so good. Thanks for the quick response. And Amazing video by the way.

[senseiji221]

omg omg this was amazing. i cant tell you how i feel right now because i dont know what im feeling lol

[FilipinoHitmanCA97]

the person who disliked the video was probably the goalie.

[MrBaddog110]

MOTHER MAY I PLZ GO OUT AND KILL THE PERSON THAT DISLIKED THIS VIDEO..... HOLD ON LET ME GRAB MY GUN 2

[alotgreaterthanthree]

*sniff*

[AJedProduction]

Beautiful stuff. Check my work aswell if you get the chance!

[BEnzwalkable]

Touching video :P Hope someday the war will stop.. :/

[StrangeGirl484]

I started sobbing just after a minute, it's so hard to watch that, even if it is fiction and not burst into tears, I have so many friends and so much family that are in the military and everyday I worry that one of them might not make it home and seeing this makes me so scared, but reminds me of how innocent we are, and I wish we could all have a childs innocence, but we can't and watching those men die knowing that many have died that way it kills me and breaks my heart. My love to the military

[jsafaei]

@StrangeGirl484 Thank you so much for watching. I am so glad this meant something to you.

-Justin Safaei

[Melberrt]

@StrangeGirl484 i just read the book Lord of the Flies (great book btw) and it might show you the truth about childs innocence.. i dont want to spoil the book but everyone has innate evilness, but childs just appears to be more innocent than adults

[StrangeGirl484]

@Melberrt I haven't read the book, although I plan to, I realise childern aren't that innocent but compared to the horrors men and women see over sea they are. When I was little my grandmother passed away I couldn't comprehend what that ment, childern are innocent, in ways, and nieve (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) In some ways this is good, but in others not so much. Atleast that is my Point of View

[Melberrt]

@StrangeGirl484 yea i agree with you, cuz most children arent expose to the real world and their parents shield them from the cruelty. btw what age do u consider to be a child ;)..

good to have a nice conversation on youtube without profanity or fighting over something...

[StrangeGirl484]

@Melberrt That is true, personally I think maybe around the age 10-12 is when we start to lose our innocences, but as this world has gotten more.... perverse, so to speak, The age for alot of things has gotten younger. So perhaps children around 5-6 are losing their innocences because of such a cruel and crude world we live in. I don't know this is just my own personal opinion.

I agree, it's nice to have an intelligent conversation about something that truely matters and isn't irrevilant

[gabriel27000v]

i farted

[levmay14]

You do not understand how hard it is to live in a war... The wars are now!! Some people are fighting every day for their freedom. People die for their country every day.

[HighHumorSchool]

WOW! i GOTTA SAY THAT WAS AN AMAZING VIDEO.

[VideoSk8Rs34]

this video deserves more views/likes then it has...

[jemiiekiddo]

they had war.. and the mom had the time to put on makeup

[turbomys]

applaud

[sweetbrainbox08]

brutality of reality

[awesomejess10]

wow that was amazing. after watching it i just sat there crying. it was so moving and amazing, and the fact that you could get across so much emotion to the audience in under 4 minutes is just.. phenomenal.

[EkivIcon]

Whoa.... that's such a happy ending. I loved it! Great movie.

[marchnikki]

Wow, I haven't watched something that made me cry in forever. Thank you for making and posting this.

[TheWiredEgo]

Sad. huhu

[LanesMedia]

i have watched this about 10 times and it still brings tears to my eyes.

You did an amazing job...the emotions were great and i swear its so sad.

God bless all the men fighting for us and hope they return home safely!

[jsafaei]

@LanesMedia Thank you. And yes, lets hope they all return home safely

[LanesMedia]

@jsafaei

Your very welcome. God bless you for making this video...it shows alot.

[marchawk0]

@jsafaei love the vid but you dofunny stuff to right

[blackelsy]

@LanesMedia "fighting for "us" ?" May I be assuming you're American? In my opinion, the soldiers are fighting for their PEOPLE when and ONLY when their country is being invaded and they fight bravely to protect it. BUT when his country invade other country, I will say they are fighting for their GOVERNMENT.

That is different.

[LanesMedia]

@blackelsy

umm pardon me, but im only 13 and i dont really understand what your saying...could you please explain?

[Riktof]

@blackelsy These guys went over to Kosovo to join the KLA mate. They thought they were fighting for their freedoms and the freedoms of others. So, effectively, they were fighting for us.

[sayotlittler]

@blackelsy

but,if a soldier is told to go somewhere,that soldier has to go.because if they don't,they can be court martialed and/or imprisoned.

in the case of this video,what was done was wrong,because those were just soldiers, being where they were told.if the people that executed the soldiers had a problem they should have taken it up with the people that sent them there.

also,in America,the government is supposed to of the people,by the people,for the people,but some people forget that

[bobberman09]

chestersee brought me here

[TheDeuxus]

Chestersee everybody !

[0lord00]

That was simply wonderful.

[sukiya19]

Wow!! This is DEEP!! This. I approve!

[004edo]

wow! that was amazing and touching

[AlexisSaniel]

T-up if Chester See brought you here!

-unoriginal comment

[boricuatonguis]

truly beautifull

[sukiya19]

Chester See brought me here XD

[johnnjacob14]

easy message but a deep one. wow. that was interestinng to watch

[MrRocknAlternative]

Liked it. Makes me think about some of the criticisms of Dodgeball (not that I'm for or against it) and reminds me a little bit of an Audioslave video that seemed to have similar themes involving a kid playing with a paper airplane (can't remember the song, though). I thought that vicious-looking mom right after the goal was kicked was good. Some powerful war themes in there, too, and has a positive message.

[ConfirmedFear]

Deeper than I thought it was going to be. At first it seemed like the parallels between the game and the war was going to be cliche, but you tied them together nicely by adding that simple dialogue. Great video!

[danie0was0here]

who else felt their heart clench the entire video?

[FeatherRoze]

this is amazing 

[vivrocssocks]

wow. That was something else. Amazing!!
