Goodstory
Pls I'm literally a heterosexual male with 0 interest In dating a guy. And I'm sobbing 😭
Oh, it's difficult to be gay. There's this neighbor of mine....
Story of my life.
I am not shy at all and it's hard for me to relate to people like this, because I am so outgoing and find it easy to approach people I don't know. But it's a nice film. Shy guys are very cute and a sexy challenge for me.
Jim Le, this is awesome. It's been 5 years. I hope you're still alive.
Nice movie
That's hilarious but I also feel personally attacked 😂😂😂😂😂 thanks for sharing
I think the other guy was just as scared. Just as shy!
Magnífico!
everyone dreams of meeting the right one, rather it's on a park bench or elsewhere. but the dream can't happen unless you ask, you can always be told no but at least you ask. good message.
More happy endings please ?🤔
The two guys are handsome. The emotion of friendship was there between them. So, he left his wallet there at the apartment. Paris is always nice to walk there to school or to work. This was nice...Thank you...
The American mugged the Frenchman, taking his wallet. But he had second thoughts about what he had done, trying to make up for it. When feelings got too close for comfort, the American left the Frenchman’s wallet & took off.
That was cute.
Relatable
stunning...excellent storyline and very well performed.
A bit sad, but very stylish.
Beautiful! So subtle. Both actors are wonderful in their individual portrayals. The black and white is stunning. Thank you for sharing this. I wish it could have gone on.
Well, I foolishly rewatched this video and my opinion has not changed. Watch his 6 minute “Park Bench” and going to piss is more cathartic than either of these !
Alternate ending: The next day the same thing happened and he actually asked him out; he said "yes" and they lived happily ever after with lots of good kinky sex. The End.
They'll see each other again, anticipation is foreplay of the best kind
Omg sequel!!!!
Indulgent twaddle.
So unsatisfying
So much for Happy Endings!
Stub the ciggies out and have a kiss!
But wasn’t the guy in black kinda led on the guy in blue? Sitting right beside mr. blue, mocking him...
the Frenchman was certainly likeable, the American not.
Hmmm...I'm gonna have to go with the "dream" ending to the story...
so sad
What did the stocky blond @3:15 want? And, why was the guest on the bench mocking the movements of the original sitter?
He was copying his movements to let the guy in blue know he likes him.
Really didn't add up to much.
😢😊😢😊💥👊❤✅💯👌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍Awesome; kudos 👏👏👏to everyone involved👋🌟✌
Long time ago, handsome guy made the first move in a piano bar. I never expected it, funny how your universe can change in an instant. Despite bumps along the way, we're still together 37 years later.
Tell it like it is, brother. It's nice to know that there are still couples around from our generation because all of my friends from the 1980's are dead with the exception of about two.
Très sobre, pudique, très joli ;-)
"Hi, what are you reading?"
Very interesting video. You seldom see both sides of a story. One that has no regrets, and the other where he'll never know what could have been. It was a sad , yet happy ending.
que cortometraje más genial ❤️👊🏻📽
So much smoking!? I could never be near a smoker like that. Sorry.
🥜
Lovely. Well done. On dit Bien faite?
Make a sequel!
WTF ?
Laughing my ass off...I've been to France. No French are that nice. This film is not realistic, hahaha!
Was this film made to satisfy yourself as a director? I understand and appreciate the good work atmosphere etc., but, something was missing and I don't know what it was. Felt no blood running thru, rather cold.
Jim Le’s short film “L’Americain” is a wonderfully restrained and concise treatment of a modern morality tale: an act of kindness at the start leads eventually by degrees to an act of conscience at the end. The telling relies as much on Isarr Ericsson’s close-up camerawork as it does on Jim Le’s spare script; its minimalism ably supported by its lead actors performance. But, ultimately, it is a reflection of the director’s talent that the intersection of one man’s loneliness and another man’s surliness creates an ambiguous tension which, in the end, resolves itself as more Dostoyevsky than eroticism.
Ya think?
@@allenelliott2600 No need for the disrespect and belittling. Contempt in just 2 words. The commenter's writing and insight are far more intelligent than your response. It is true that people sometimes denigrate what they themselves cannot do.
Where in the world are you getting Dostoyevsky?????? Please Please please explain!!!!!!!! He is my favorite author and I would love to know what you have been smoking to come up with such a ridiculous analogy? I thought the story made no sense . I thought the French boys purchasing the “How to speak English “ was a desperate attempt to connect with him . That the American boy went into the bedroom and sat on the bed and showed concern for his abandonment by his father was going to lead to sexual intimacy, but leaving for good and leaving your wallet in a foreign country makes no sense unless he was going out for a walk and left it as a sign of trust ! I will have to watch it again because I felt it was annoyingly pointless.
@@derfogelfanger3103 I wanna think he will back for his wallet AND...love Is in the air...
Incredibly sad and full of pathos. But beautifully made. And the black and white worked so well. Will came across as ungracious and ungrateful for the hospitality and care he received, almost boorish. But remained a charismatic character nevertheless
It could be a longer bromance. ..too bad .
putain de bon film. Sobre. Touchant. Qui accroche de la première à la dernière minute sans effet. Bravo.
nice visual effect, handsome actors, beautiful apartment, vague story.
Omg, I was so excited till the end, then it was so sad!! But I still really liked it💜
caleb Temple caleb!
