    My first thought: If this guy can afford to give away his ticket, why didn't he just *buy another SF ticket* so they could sit together and talk on the way to SF?
    And for the record, family isn't always "most important or #1" if they're not *behaving as family.*

    • @globalman

      Exactly what I was thinking as soon as he said that line. In my experience and lifetime observations families are mostly destructive, merciless and not loving or supportive if you are different or want different things for your life.

    An excellent video despite some comments from the peanut gallery. Well acted and good camera and sound work. As far as the so called accent problem mentioned by 1 one of the cheap seats, I don't think some people understand that sometimes you have to make certain concessions so that the greater number of viewers will get the point. Especially in short videos. Also good storyline too. If it were on IMDb I would give it a 6 1/2 or 7 out of 10. Nice job.

      With deep respect to your absence. I think that trying to forgive, at least in your heart, makes you LESS unhappy and fuller. You love and will continue to love your family in spite of everything, do not embitter your life by hating and giving time to the time. "Family Constellations" is an excellent resource to understand us more deeply.

    This film has a GREAT message. However, the Spanish speaking actor's attempt to speak "broken English" is not very convincing. It's clear that he also speaks English, as there was no trace of a Spanish accent when delivering some of his lines like, "Family is the most important".
    Also those roses he was selling for $5 each were almost dead. The guy in the car purchased 1 rose and the business man purchased 4, so in less than an hour this kid made $25 tax free + a train ticket to SF. Yeah, he's definitely not going to sell that ticket lol

      Maybe I misread your intent but your comment comes off as snarky and ending with a sarcastic innuendo that the kid will sell the train ticket instead of using it. I don't understand that reaction.
      Realistically that kid could be out there for hours without selling a single flower. The driver might have realized that and bought an almost dead flower because the kid is trying. The business man after getting over his self absorbed tantrum realized that he walked into the kid attempted to make up for it buying flowers then giving the kid his ticket.
      Whether the kid used the ticket to visit his family or cashed it in for a refund is his choice to make. I think his choice should be respected as much as whatever choice you or some wealthy person would make.

    The "mexican boy" has got a native accent for an English-speaker, no matter how much he pretends to be unaware of English grammar. On the other hand, his Spanish is coined, for as much as his grammar is alright in this respect, he ignores true Spanish sounds and produces this language using an English phonology.
