  • I GUESS WHAT THIS MOVIE MEANS IS THAT SOMETIMES YOU MUST TRUST IN GOD NOT PEOPLE CAUSE PEOPLE WILL LET YOU DOWN BUT HE NEVER DOES

  • no it's that YOU are apparently pointless.

  • The lesson of this apparently pointless film is that not every apparently pointless film has a point.

  • What did the two boys say at the beginning?

  • Comment removed

  • If I was in this situation I would just say Fuck off and kill all the classmate + the teacher.

  • @XCutePupa sure you would.

  • This video is like LSD.... everyone sees a goddamned different thing in it....

    wow wait... is that what it's about!? lol

  • All students studied the ready-made answers, but he experienced life by him self. Jiddu Krishnamurti once said: I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.

  • "LIFE WON'T SHARE" thats it. Superb!

    

  • that is life!!!!!

  • sainteresoa videoa ...ra aris sicocxle?

  • I think this movie is about how to everyone it seems like everyone else has a rule book to life, all the answers except for ourselves. It's showing how its us, you, me, ever individual person who feels left out, and lost while it seems to us that everyone has that special cheat cheat that they won't share.

  • this 6 minutes short movie could be really life changing if you understand what this movie is trying to say in a much deeper scene:::::: no matter how beautiful you think life is, no matter how much you care about others, there are moments when reality will crush you with some ugly facts that you have been always ignoring and the wisdom here is not to give up your nice view about life but rather to maintain it in a way you 'll be ready to face the ugly side of life one day ; ) thumbs up

  • ok. so what i got out of this is that you feel as if everyone knows the answers to life and they know what life is about... exept you.

  • but.....................sharei­ng is caring

  • the answer to life is 42! lol

  • Life's a beach.

  • The point (I think) is that just showing up doesn't count for anything. Stanley went to class while his friend ditched, and he didn't benefit anymore than this friend did (probably less). Why? Because Stanley just went through the motions and didn't have the guts to stand up to Garth. He didn't fight for his place at the table; instead, he went crying to the teacher, who shut the door in his face because in the real world, that's just the way it is. Powerful lesson.

  • @angryseraph I think the Garth thing detracts from the wider message. Stanley represents the individual, you or I, and how the individual is ultimately isolated. There is a wall between the individual, and everyone else who seems to know the answers. I think the teacher shuts the door in his face to signify that ultimately, there is no help or meaning in life that can come from outside of yourself. Everyone else may as well have the answers, but you, the individual make your own meaning.

  • i favourited this a few years ago. just watched it again, twice. this is eerily exactly how i felt when i was 15 (i'm 23 next month), and all throughout my teenage years really. the loneliness and isolation, feeling like everyone else had the answers but you. i now realise, i realised a while ago now, that this is not the case. no one has the answers to life, you have to discover them yourself.

  • miss given mis gave the last paper. stanley should have read it.

    "simple and genius"

  • sad, but a true story

  • very inspiring movie for a modern teaching

  • ben c ca la vie ... c simple et difficile a la fois ... la vie n 'est pas toujours juste , parfois on est responsable des conséquences de nos choix et parfois on doit accepter de prendre un autre chemin si yen a un ki se ferme devant nous meme si on n a rien fait pour ke ca arrive , pis ca c difficile .. chus pas mieux kun autre et je crie facilement a l injustice et au " pkoi moi " snifffff ... mais ca change rien de pleurer sur notre sort ya ke ns ki puissions le changer !!! Bo tit video

  • I newer seen so a stupid film in my life, the teacher must help his students.... inmoral teacher!!!

  • 431,166 views.. not enough people have seen this.

  • what a waste of my time

  • he should open the door and kick her ass and say well thats life BICTH!!!

  • Omg u do not realy want to flipen go to my school or u will get a migran for ever!

  • la vida es una busqueda pero depende de ti encontrar la respuesta buen video se va a mi caja de favoritos

  • he said that garth WOULDN'T share, so life is something where you dont get want you want ALL the time.

  • If everything is "shared" equally throughout the universe then all is in a state of equilibrium. This state is a state of nothingness, not to be mistaken with total non-existence, means that no distinction can be made from one part to another. Something can not be said to exist above the state itself when in this state. To have life is to retain; to gain life is to take way; to lose life is to release all that you have contained.

    Share nothing or be nothing.

  • i dont get the ending.. life is about 'not sharing'?

  • SHARE is live ... you share your love your mind your knowledge your intelligence

    your work just ............ EVERYTHING

  • shafinco 110mb com

  • Life's unfair- it's a simple message.

  • So what its saying is evryone needs to share if not well i dunno...

  • No one gave them to me either. I wouldn't have listened and it would have killed the joy of my own discovery. He's the winner!

  • Not being funny but.. I'd just rip it out of garths hands and leg it.

  • The teacher looks like the teacher from Everybody Hates Chris!

  • Donde puedo descargar esta movie completa en español alguien podria ayudarme??

  • @ALe13ZETTHa puedes comprar el dvd de cortometrajes donde viene, se llama El cine en corto, la compilacion 3. Ahi viene, yo lo compré en Mixup xD

  • I think the idea is everyone thinks about himself

  • I think it was trying to say that sometimes it feels as if everyone else has the answers to life, and you feel you dont. You are treat unfairly, and hurt and left out all the while seeking a purpose and then at the end of your journey you find out that the meaning of life is to be hurt and treated unfairly while seeking the answers.

    That is life.

  • The hair, in the beginning... It is killin' me, dudeeee^...

  • wait what's the music called?

    it's really cool and pretty.

  • giving my account<<<

  • Simple.

    Life can not always be what you want it to be. You have to do things yourself. AS this little chap didnt do he did not confront the bully he did not try to steal it from someone else all he did was cry to the teacher. Deal with it. Do somthing about it. LiVE your LiFE

  • I dont think it means that....he told the teacher as everyone is advised to do in school.......confronting a bully would get him a black eye...stealing someone else's would make him no better.....I think the story is that sometimes even if you do all the right things in life, you still get shit on by people. He did all the right things, didnt skip class, told the teacher......yet he still didnt get anywhere.

  • @MegaXxMeganXx

    This moral makes more sense.

  • That asshole'd be SHANKED if i were there....

  • Aj chodpdżyłam do prajmery szkól 13 jers!!!

  • I'm making subtitles for this video. Can somebody tell me what does the teacher say at

    1:17 --> I understood "Settle down 4C!" Is that it?

    2:12 --> "The answer to the ___ of life."

    Thank you in advance.

  • yes... 4c is the class number i think

    riddle of life

  • 2:12 --> "The answer to the Riddle of life."

    :D

  • actually i do now (:

  • this video is like a dream.

  • life is unique. :)

  • It sucks!

  • i dont get it

  • @kiesha842

    me neither :/

  • I mean It ROCKS! LOL.

  • I think we each have certain situations that we each must find our individual answers. Stanley searched through the whole school to find his answer. School is life. In life, we are constantly searching for the one true answer to our existance, the one true answer to why we were even created. We won't know until we're dead, or will we? Life is a matter of belief, of self-belief and belief in those around you. Life is a matter of searching for your answer and getting on the right path toward it.

  • Well, I confess that the first time I didn't get it. But after reflexion, it seems simple.

    Watch at the beginning, he left go his friend alone.

    And what's the word that he utters in repetitive occasions and ends with it?

    ...share -That's life.

  • I cried after seeing it for the first time on cinemax...

  • well done

  • I get OD goosebumps everytime i watch this.

  • it was a strange but very interesting short film

  • soundtrack name?!

  • Statism is violence. Our children are chattel. We are chattel. "Teachers" are wardens. Life is total shit with governments. Small moments of joy but basically we are headed for a slaughterhouse and it is hard to get that out of your head once you find it out.

  • ^post above theived from pink floyd's idea behind the wall

  • I can't steal the truth, only realize it. The truth is. I have never seen The Wall but I will watch it now that you bring it up. If this is the case, I am in good company. I am also really depressed it took me this long to figure it out but the Prussian education model is so good at brainwashing that it is hard to distinguish truth from fiction. On top of that I don't even know why I am surprised. Look how we treat animals; it only follows that we would treat each other the same way.

  • @summergiles The Wall isn't a movie. It's a music album.

  • @xXCptCharlesXx its also a movie with the album as the soundtrack

  • @guyardon Oh really? Probably not any involvement with Pink Floyd though, right? Just based on their music and concepts.

  • Comment removed

  • Tell to me, please...

  • i think the lesson shown is that its your life and no one can tell you what to do with it. you take account for your own actions. Stanley could of stolen a packet from another student or asked for a spare from another teacher but instead he went to his classroom teacher who wouldnt do anything about it. he should have just done whatever he wanted to get the packet, instead he did what he was told, and outside of school- it doesnt always work like that.

  • Jake, what is this soundtrack?

  • nooooooooooooooooo i want to see

  • i dont get it someone explain me

  • what don t you understand? that is life..

  • what i learned from that is that life is not worth living. but my life, the experience is so much better.

    and yes im a virgin... im 13 :P

  • i dont think the message was that your better off dead. The message I believe is that everyone got a pamphlet, and Stanley needed to work with the situation. Your parents and teachers wont always be able to help you, he should have confronted the bully, or done the imoral thing and steal another students. The "that's life" saying is used by people to comment on something they heard that's unfair or unjust, but who don't offer a solution or dont care. Take it upon yourself to find a solution

  • I wanted Stanley to sucker punch Garth, but noooooo....

  • Viata e ca firul de par din cur: scurta si plina de rahat

  • Nobody dies virgin, life screws us all at least one time

  • Lifes a bitch, deal with it and stop been a wuss

  • that stanley,that is life--

  • oh soooo depressing...

  • In this life you'r on your own!

    That's the massage behind the film.

  • We might learn something THIS TIME. (What were they learning before that?) LOL! ;-)

  • I don't seem to understand...... the concept behind this film

  • Was this an independant short film or something??? It was though =]

  • Sad - im having dreams like this.

    It's just the price you must pay for being a real individual with your own special way of thinking.

  • no body can give you the answers to life you have to find them on your own

  • check your inbox. thx

  • BORING .... ..... ..

  • damn this 1 wus like so true...

  • i didnt get it hahaa.x

  • one dy you will. And you will see and understand on your own. thats the point

  • Great made. but still strange...

  • it left me thinking...and the music is so capivating it makes you pity stanley

  • Seems to me like he feels he's on the outer looking in, and everyone else is getting somthing out of what their doing and have been given too. Also that he feels that everyone else has the answers but no one will let him know the answers. \ Like at school when everyone seems to know what and were there going to do after school.

  • i love this clip..

  • be awsome if they made a movie like this

  • we will never know the answers to life?

    even if it seems like everyone else does?

  • not bad, i expected a stronger point tho..

  • It means that no one can tell you the lesson of life. You have to go out and learn it on your own.

    If that's not a strong point, then I don't know what is.

  • Comment removed

  • Well I understand the video and realize that that is basically life, but. . . well as much as I would like to argue against it I just honestly can't. That is life I guess. Everyman for himself.

  • what the fuck do i have to fuckin learn from thiss?? :@ Fuckkk

  • I watched this at school. Very Strange. "Your side my side, get it?"

  • That was scary.

  • strange xD

  • well it was cute basicly what it is saying is ... that life may suck at times but thats life the world dosnt exactly always have what you want ya know?? it was a little simple to figure out but i loved it awsome!! oh and if my discription wasnt correct sorry its just what i got out of it

  • So life is not about sharing?

    Good short film but epic phailed meaning.

  • sick lie and lier.... loser...sigh....

  • I find it kinda strange that so many people get angry just by seeing this..

  • That is some scary shit...

  • dog of a teacher, lol the guy should have went into another class to see if they have any spares? haha wanker

  • so... life sucks?

  • mhm

  • I think the message was oversimplified. The acting was pretty solid, except for some unnatural dialogue. But I felt that the momentum was lost because of the ending. Overall though - awesome job, you hooked me in.

  • yes..hooked me in but did not build into the inspiring ending i was hoping for

  • thats life i guess

  • The only lesson in life -- > IT GOES ON !

  • Life is a delicious cereal thats also healthy for you. :-)

  • so? so we're just not going to share? NO! for goodness sake. Life is life, what do you think it is? Lifeless buttlass being thrown in every direction? Go do something goddamn it! If there is one lesson that is the most important lesson, then Goddamn it, it;s that people care about you! It's that wherever you go, however lonely,. There will ALWAYS be that one person, or maybe more, who is willing to put down everything, to support you, to be WITH YOU!

    Goddamn it!

  • that was great :)

  • what you guys should learn from this video is that you should keep it to yourself because no one have an answear! not on youtube! :)

  • Maybe I know I'm not alone, that my parents love me, that I can talk to someone. But, when I am all alone, with nothing around but my mind, my madness, desperation, and all I want is to scream, I realize that all I can (and all I learnt to) do is continue. Keep living, even when I don't know for what. ( We invented sense in life because we NEED to know that it is worth and that we are here for something/someone somehow)

  • wow that was the best stuff I have read out of all 1500 comments.

  • Thank you :)

  • wow u read 1500 comments?

  • Yeah, and not one person had a good answer. No one knows I guess.

  • whoaaa you saved me from reading a lot of comments lmao.

  • The raw and real truth. It hurts. You will run, you will get angry, you will cry, you will try to change things, but, finally, nothing lasts but accepting it.

  • Yeah and not one person would share. It's fucking free and they wouldn't share. What am I missing. They couldn't use a fucking copier? None of you have the answer yet either. This is BS really. I can't even believe I'm still alive for this. If that is life I want none of it. There better be something better than assholes out there.

  • If no one can tell you... you have to figure it out for yourself...that means there is no answer. That is what he got. Nothing. That means no one knows. That is some bullshit right there. Is there nothing good? All life is is wondering. Being teased that there is an answer but there is none. Fuck that. FUCK THAT!

  • Sooo , Ayn Rand all over huh ? Well fuck that if you have people willing to share then that theory goes to hell. Rated it 1 star , the message is fucked up.

  • While the message is obviously open to interpretation, I think this shows how unfair life is.

  • The lesson is that you are existentially alone. It points to a feeling of bleak isolation you get often just before you go to sleep; that you are alone.

    The only uncertainty in life is that which exists in your own mind, since that is the only mind to exist. All the others might as well know all the answers, since their autonomous existence and uncertainty cannot be perceived.

    Life, reduced to its bare fundamentals, is to be alone in its truest sense.

  • ...

  • the fuck?

  • I feel weird seeing this.

  • huh.

    interesting

  • Comment removed

  • ok man i understand but the other viewers don't leave me alone man:))) they are saying a lot of things and i'm sick of them:)) .. i'm glad you're not an idiot like the others

  • student comes to the teachers the day before the Board showed that hours it is unjustified and meets educator with red cheeks ... but the dates are no longer valid and i cant justifie it . a student to ... So already there, i do not do anything with this. Adiós, and thank you .... I wonder if the teacher understands that the contract he signed for his own "existential peace" unfortunately also affect even those who have not seen that contract ...

  • "Wisdom comes through suffering. "- good idea but...

    thats not only one way from where you can get some wisdom.

    Look at the pleasures... they cean teach you so much to.

    Look at this point of view...

  • In my opinion, the meaning of life is held in the boy who left, Gordon. He does what he wants. Instead of following everyone, and bowing down to the man, who made his own way. Life is his.

  • is this a movie?

  • I love this.....

  • I think I already commented on this ages ago, but once again, this is fantastic.
