Historia de un letrero, The Story of a Sign (original video)

[GayleTube]

Bellissimo! 

[Clarita529]

Un vídeo muy lindo ..... gracias por el enlace ... un hombre de corbata ayuda al mendigo con su perspicacia ...

[janpetras22]

This is bullshit. This is horrible. It's a horrible, horrible copy. The original is named "The power of words" - this is a disgusting copy made for profit making purposes.

[DMitri221]

@janpetras22 Other way around, this is the original.

[lomiification]

@janpetras22 Isn't it the exact opposite?

"the power of words" is an advertising copy of this, stupid redditor.

[phail555]

@lomiification Oh look! A youtube troll! Why am I so surprised? Your kind is a common sight.

[vampithagigou]

Amazing

[dooliefish]

I was crying before I even read the sign.

[salvadorulpa]

y que llega la poli y amablemente toma su momision.....

[andely19]

no es copia, es una versión de una historia que se les contaba a los publicistas y uno que otro país hizo un corto, pero este es el mejor para mi gusto

[VidicaMX]

esta muy padre, lastima que es plagio...

[granojet]

Hermoso. Golpe bajo, pero hermoso igual.

[ulysses198]

Cambiar la visión y el enfoque de cualquier cosa, por pequeña e insignificante que nos parezca, nos puede ayudar a enriquecer nuestra vida personal y sobre todo profesional.

Además con una historia emotiva y hermosa.

[AjinameJager]

Hermoso

[tezhowes]

Yes, this is indescribably moving. And at Christmas, it should serve as a message that we don't all have it so good, and that those of us with troubles could have much worse.

[brandya91]

What a beautiful story.

[mispah10tubo]

Una pequeña gran historieta de cómo podemos cambiar el mundo, al cambiar nuestras palabras, al modificar las relaciones con nuestros prójimos y usar la empatía en nuestra vida cotidiana

[Spasatcom]

powerhelpull, yhanks for video

[SH1974]

I've seen this video more then a dozen times and it still moves me to tears.

The music, the pictures, the actors and of course the story. So beautiful!

I think this is the best video on Youtube, it deserves far more then 1,2 million views!

(Did anyone got a HD version of this Video? Please upload it!!!)

[Theskygoesdown]

Error, cuando el tipo da vuelta el cartel se ve que dice "es un hermoso..." y luego en la siguiente toma dice otra cosa... doble error :D pero lindo.

[oblaf]

que lastima que sea plagio pero buenisima la adaptacion..

[chaotic13000]

@oblaf oye y cual es la original???

[oblaf]

@chaotic13000 es un comercial español que dura como 30 segundos.. esta adaptacion mexicana es mucho mejor pero si es copiada del comercial español

[lastpokol]

copiado por un mexicano, mejor dicho.

[TILLIX3]

escrito por un mexicano,no todos los mexicanos somos de malos sentimientos,la mayoria aun creemos en la paz y el amor ala vida.

[MegaPepitoGrillo69]

[frederick7133]

analizándolo que poco agradecidos somos en ocasiones.... siempre hay que estar atento porque la vida esta llena de detalles.

[Neuras3D]

HOY ES UN HERMOSO DIA Y NO PUEDO VERLO..... caray cuanta verdad, debemos dar gracias a la vida por estar en ella, gracias a Dios por poder disfrutar de tantas y bellas cosas.... felicidades por el corto....... gracias bb por estar en mi camino.

Aunque sea mi paisano Mexicano, lastima que sea plagiado originalmente de un corto Español de 2006, dos años antes de este corto...ni modos...pero aun asi bueno

[alobpreis]

[JOALBLXO]

muy bueno, por que las cosas pueden decirse menos drasticas.

[dawnieangel76]

Randy Milholland, artist & creator of Something Positive, directed me to this video. I'm grateful to him for that; for the smile, and for the tears.

Mr. Barreda, thank YOU for this short film.

[Monterogdl]

Vaya , digno de mencionar para levantar el animo a los depres, "LA VIDA ES BELLA"

[JaceDraccus]

Beautiful.

[CountHead]

thanks for the coupon commercials that ruined the subtitles.

[MrGerbil10]

Isn't it just like us to get all wrapped around the axles about "plagiarism," who actually made the video, what the technical qualities are--and miss the whole point of the video? 'It's a beautiful day but I can't see it." Ignore the technicalities; see and hear the message!

[oicini10]

[Art2life]

Hola, esta una video Magnifique

[ferrosur4707]

OJALA TODOS FUERAMOS ASI DE BUENAS PERSONAS COMO EL SEÑOR DE NEGRO

HERMOSISIMOOO..!! UNA GRAN ENSEÑANZA!

[petoarjona]

gracias

[IwatchYuTup]

English one is better. this one is too long, bad actor (man's sound is not effective but woman was better in english one) and bad music choice! i can make a tango with this music..

[TheNathalok]

que bonito mensaje el del corto me gusto muchisimo!! ojala todos pordamos valorar lo que nos da la vida a cada instante. "Hoy en un Hermoso Día y Yo No puedo verlo"

[ralves58]

This is also a plagiarism, not the original video. The original video is Mexican (2006), and is called "Una Lomosna, Por Favor".

[kamus124]

@ralves58

true that it is plagiarism, false that the original is Mexican. The original is actually Spanish, you can easily notice it because the coins and banknotes that they use are Euros, whereas in this one they use Mexican pesos. I've read that Alvarez accepted that the original idea is not his. However, I think this version has a better quality.

[annaspeltbackwards]

I came across this video because my brother posted me the link to "The Power of Words". I wanted to comment on the video when I read someone's remark that the idea was taken from this one. While the message of both films in the same, the effect is immense. "Power of words" brought tears to my eyes, and The story of a Sign made me cry. You are a very talented group of storytellings and filmmakers and this short touched my heart. And I want to thank you for it :) xo Keep making films!!!!

[sladicky]

great video...

[portugaldarts]

We have two issues here... One is the message itself from the video, the other is the bearer of the message the maker of the movie. If one is very strong, the other cant be forgetoten. Its like worshiping the message and the messiah itself. Can we see the remaking of the Bible here again ??

[PilarHMG]

Que importa de donde salió el video??..., que importa cuanto costó??..., que importa si lo hicieron hace tiempo, que importa!!!... lo que importa es que un ciego, con otras palabras hace ver a la gente lo que él no ve. ..y de esa forma apreciar lo bello de la vida hay gente que tiene visión y está ciega!!...Pilar desde Chile

[nelixnkes]

@PilarHMG

Hay Pilar, que verdad más grandes has dicho. Mucho ven menos que un ciego. Que Dios tenga, que Dios tenga misericordia de nosotros.

[PilarHMG]

@nelixnkes;Gracias Namasté

[SH1974]

This is the most beautiful video on Youtube.

[aleida741]

Un buen mensaje, muy bueno... muy, muy bueno

[noboban]

good job

[All4JesusAll4Him]

Thank you for posting this! I have been looking for this video for over 6 months! It use to be on GodTube.com but it got removed! I saw it over 2 years ago and it has never left me!

[MoonHawk98]

okay i give up. is this the orginal or not......?

[nzvato]

amigo el video lo usan muchas empresas... fuiste tu el que lo invento o lo copiaste?

[nzvato]

amigo el video lo usan muchas empresas... fuiste tu el que lo invento o lo copiaste?

[RagiasGr]

Για όσους ζητούν μετάφραση: Το μήνυμα του τυφλού έλεγε: "Βοηθείστε με. Είμαι τυφλός". Το μήνυμα που του έγραψε ο επικοινωνιολόγος έλεγε: "Σήμερα είναι μια όμορφη ημέρα. Κι εγώ δεν μπορώ να την δω"! Δηλαδή, από επαίτη τον μετέτρεψε σε κατήγορο και δημιούργησε ενοχή στους διερχόμενους, περνώντας τους έμμεσα το μήνυμα: "Εσύ χαίρεσαι αυτό που εγώ δεν μπορώ να χαρώ. Κάνε κι εσύ κάτι για να χαρώ κι εγώ"...

[Turandot29]

Such a beautiful film.  Makes me wish I was blind.

[AuFoh]

@Turandot29 Be aware of what you wish! Becouse it can happen...

I'M FUCKING CRYING

[e5city]

Las palabras recogen un gran poder: el sentimiento de tus ideas.

K20

[zerobeat18]

There's a decent [UK?] remake of this called "The Power Of Words". They call it an homage, but it's just a shorter version of this one, with no new ideas. So I guess the tribute is that they couldn't come up with anything better than this gem of a film!

[JingeBelle]

What a beautiful film!!!

[x3firework]

This film and the remake are both amazing.

[suzettesuz]

Maravilloso! Es un regalo de Semana Santa. Felicitaciones!

[jenbur3]

Thank you!

[chadettat]

Look at the message for its purpose. Look for the truth. Look outside yourself. As the song says---population me---now it is population 2. :-) Find that inner purpose with whichever of these versions you like best. You should look at the message and not the messenger. Just my opinion.

[kurdish1Bling]

63 people don't know what a beautiful day is.

[ecobore]

The English film is just a blatant rip-off and completely without style or class.. Shame on you plagiarists..

[SuperBeagleTW]

Great vid. but i really hate this chirping sound

[Eckall]

@SuperBeagleTW It's called a bird. Go outside?

[punkx52]

@Eckall

LOL!

[claudelebel55]

grabs me every time ... sniff ;)

[iXtcDrgn]

There's another video that is almost exactly like this but in English and is a lot shorter.

/watch?v=Hzgzim5m7oU

[RicksterM01]

@iXtcDrgn And is a blatant rip-off for self-serving advertising purposes. Taking a wonderful -original- creative effort such as this and turn it into a commercial. Shorter? That's a justification?

[xdcharly1]

jaja esta chido y entretenido la neta t la rifaste

[chimpteste]

awesome

[arturovaldemar]

El mensaje es hermoso, lástima que sea un plagio del corto español de 2006.

[666Mandalorian]

Este video es un plagio de un cortitito o Spot de un Español, y ya existe otro plagio mas donde es una chava la q escribe el letrero... chavos aplaudan la creatividad, no el plagio de ideas. #MTFBWY

[rouXillo]

@666Mandalorian

Me podrias ensenar ese video?

[666Mandalorian]

@rouXillo aqui la noticia w w w . eluniversal. com. mx/notas/510570. html el video se llama "una limosna por favor" y ya hay una 3era version en ingles creo se llama "The Power of Words " plagio del plagio de una idea =/

[MrShopen22]

film daje do myslenia

[sliver727]

someone on another site said that una limosna por favor was the original. comments anyone?

[cisforcat]

I cried

[Tuberitter]

"Hoy es un hermoso día. No puedo verlo, pero puedo escuchar los pájaros y oler las flores, con muchos más matices que la mayoría de vosotros".

[clublocktothehead]

Can you please take legal action against the creator of "The Power of Words" (username: purplecontent)? These assholes stole your idea - every single element. Even the words on the sign. They are trying to get a name for themselves in their shitty country on your coattails.

[wyrwich]

I agree. As a someone working in film, I can say it infuriates me as it is the tedious work and creative thinking that pays off to create an amazing original piece of work such as Historia de un letrero. The 'purplecontent' video has completely stolen the story, hired some shit-house director and done this all for commercial purposes. The nerve.

[clublocktothehead]

@wyrwich and, what do you know. the copy has more views than the original. i tell you, man, only the assholes make it anywhere in life.

[chadettat]

@wyrwich does it make the message any less touching if you see the other first? I speak English and was unaware of this version until I saw a post. The message is powerful. I won't do business with the English company anyway as I live in America and have no idea what they do or who they are. We need to look at the message and forget the messenger. Was there not a time in history when people shot the messenger?

[wyrwich]

@chadettat Two different messages. Historia de un letrero is a piece of art and takes a look into the human spirit and the beauty of the world. The commericals message is hey we are touching people hearts you should do business with us. I understand that what you are saying, but I just think it is wrong to take someone's creative work and use it for advertising without their knowledge or consentand then try to blow it off as a homage. I know of half rated Ad companies that wouldn't do this.

[Clydene]

@clublocktothehead Hey, they did say The Power of Words was a Homage to this work. I think we need to take the joy of the message to everyone.

[clublocktothehead]

@Clydene An "homage" would respect the original idea enough to present it uniquely. An homage would selectively borrow from, refine and tip its hat to the original concept with a subtle wink and a smile. An homage would not blatantly thieve with no class. The film was produced by REDSNAPPA, a -business- producing internet videos. It's hard to deny, these unimaginative chaps slapped up a terrible copy of this video for commercial gain, not for mass love. That, my friend, is a dog act. Fuck them.

[Clydene]

@clublocktothehead Hi - First I sent out the link to the other video and then I sent out links to both videos. This version does add a lot of emotion and beauty to the message that is not in the more commercial video. Yesterday what my friends felt was some hope and encouragement. Having grown up in a border town to Mexico watching Spanish language films does not present any barriers to me to enjoy the original. I laud the creators of this film for creating such a wonderful day for us all.

[Clydene]

@clublocktothehead One other thing you might want to do is look at the other Spanish videos called The Sign, it seems that the winners of the 2008 video copied a video made in Spain in 2006. Regardless...it is a great message.

[funkyraf]

@clublocktothehead You're so right!

[ElCid48]

@clublocktothehead

Why don't you go fuck yourself and let people enjoy this video? It must be very sad to wake up in the morning and being you. And when you look in the mirror you see reflected the image of the same mutherfucking loser!

You are a poor sample of a human being, indeed!

[Azunaii]

@clublocktothehead You are right of course, but I can't help but like the composition, music and general atmosphere of the English (Irish? Scottish?) version better, despite its commercial message xD

[nightgod473]

@clublocktothehead the copy that you decry made the message more accessible to an English speaking audience. Sorry if that makes you all butthurt, but the reality is it got the message to 8 million plus people when only just over 1 million saw this one.

[FelixtheMai]

@nightgod473 translations. that's all you need, and the other video has it!

[wasabigrl75]

@clublocktothehead Actually REDSNAPPA states that theirs is a homage to this "Historia de un Letero" being the original. This video was the first.

[FelixtheMai]

@clublocktothehead Can't agree more man. I can't believe how blind some people can be.

[VincenVincen]

@Clydene at the very least, they should say: "inspired by" or something like that

[katherineiiish]
