Caseoh done had enough of the fat jokes
Here before this comment is famous
Bro 😭
Ahahah😂
bro got me shitting im laughing so hard
Not me dying
Mental health is real. Please do not ignore it.
Nahhh seriously?
@@clutchtucker It’s something that needs to be said. People ignore mental health and this stuff happens for real.
And here come all the ignorant anti-gun nuts who know nothing about gun laws or firearms
@@JAy-ct2bu Yup
I'm a licensed gun owner myself here in the Philippines.
the fact the receptionist was calm and kind during this is incredible.
its acting
There's some people that can be like that
@@Biscuit9891well it’s good acting
It's based on an actual case the receptionist is Antoinette Tuff she talked the shooter down.
She knew she had a better chance of living
Bullying plays a HUGE part in this. Please teach and emphasize to your kids that bullying is not ok! I was bullied as a kid a lot and harrased everyday.
It leaves huge scars on oneself, hope you heal from it🙏
Yes but bullying shouldn't be a reason a person can shoot up innocent 7 year olds
@b.b.B_ true it shouldn't be but unfortunately this is reality.
@@b.b.B_Its mostly mental issues, but bullying is a big part of it.
bullying is a vital part of our ecosystem and teaches kids to be resilient
I was holding my breath through the whole thing...at the end when she was breaking down I got the sense she was not weeping for herself but for the boy and the whole situation. The mental health issues in America are real...
I was also. It's as if I was there on scene instead of watching the video. I was hoping he didn't shoot her and happy that's how it ended.
@@carolemerle9995trump is a killer !
The guns aint the problem, it's the mental health of americans.
same
@@TakenWasTakenYT It's both.
A guy with a knife can't take out nearly as many people as a guy with an automatic rifle case.
Remember this is based of a real shooting in Atlanta, Georgia. The character who talked with the shooter in this was based off of 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐮𝐟𝐟. She's a Crisis Resolution Expert, and a true hero who deserves to be recognized. Because of what she did in the school, nobody was injured in the scenario.
wait, seriously? damn
props to her
Thanks for the info. Super sad stuff.
thanks!!
I'm actually not too far from DeKalb county i haven't watched local news in forever but I'm surprised I hadn't heard about this 😮
I saw an interview with her about the situation.. It's on RUclips somewhere..
"I don't know your name or nothin, but I want you to know that I love you and that I'm proud of you," that fucking line killed me.
How can you be proud of someone you don’t know?
@@SpaceHippo420 She knew that he was mentally unstable and needed help. She was proud of the fact that he came to his senses enough to not hurt anyone. You may not know someone personally, but you can be proud of them when they do something good and/or something hard. I'm proud of the receptionist who held herself together during a terrifying situation and saw the scared, lonely, unsteady human being underneath his intimidation tactics.
Drama queen
I know that line hit hard af
It took me the whole film to realise it was only taken in one room, bravo
@neversoart .......yes, in order to make that determination you would have to watch the entire thing. Don't vote please.

No kid should ever go through this.
I almost had to go through but the cops stopped it
Sure for it? The finnish 12 yr old kid on April 2nd 2024 just got through it.
No one should
@@weja_what
The last "sorry" was for her. I felt it.
Note: this whole time I could tell the boy was having second thoughts
Yep-bc they just start blasting when they’ve really made their mind up
@@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607 yeah they say nothing or very little if they're too far gone off the deep end they just unload on anyone very sick and very sad.
Someone help these people. Like genuinely, these people aren't okay and they need the support and help they need. Very good film.
You say...
So easy telling other people to do things. Why not take the initiative on something you want to be done
Only one who can help is Jesus. But y'all wanted to God gone from all schools. This is what happens!
@@MutMaster500 I know it feels empowering to say that, but I'm just a kid, nothing I can actually do. I don't live in America either. I'd love to help, it's not physically possible though.
@@Michael-hc8bh Nope, I'm a Christian. Never said God shouldn't be in schools. Jesus can help, but I mean places like mental health care, other specialist humans.
“He’s just shot me in my leg ma’am”

@@atom_unhingedh
She turned into a therapist
I am grateful that Ms. Tuff was there that day. I am super grateful that the young man who entered that school wasn't too far gone beyond reason. That day could've ended much differently.
its not real btw
@@jarlefds654 It's based on something very real btw. Antoinette Tuff. Look it up.
@@jarlefds654 Based on real events btw. Look it up.
This is a FILM, it is not real lol.
It just gives people the idea of how these situations actually go down. But most of the times, the shooters don't actually care about people.
I personally do not think this film is realistic, if you compare it to real life events.
@@_barskii This is based on real events. Lol.
The filming and the story were perfectly told, this was very well put together especially use of only one room
The actor and actress was amazing🎉❤
I totally agree.
@@boazhellersame
The special effects however...
@@Ed_G_Boisedawg it’s a short film, I did BTS for a short film it’s nothing like a big movie project.
@@emilioquiroz5704 yeh dawg. Busting for real for real no cap.
Great scenario and outstanding cast! This movie deserves Oscar.
Agree
This was so very perfectly portrayed----and the need for more mental health help comes over more than anything. Beautiful acting--very, very real. Lynn in NYC
not portrayed by the guns it is
It’s the guy that was in Cobra Kai💀
Fr bro
This guy would've become swiss cheese in 3s if this was irl
This is based on actual events. In Atlanta GA.
No one was hurt during that incident. If I remember correctly.
Bo Mitchell nailed this role, He reminds me of someone who should be on an episode of Criminal Minds.
This was such an beautiful movie… i teared up. I felt so bad for the kids, the shooter….
I wouldn't have cried over this 10 years ago. Now that I have kids, this really hits home.
Bro brought 1 magazine...
He literally said he had a bag of ammunition
@Ang3l2fly contrary to what you might have learned from fortnite, the bullets don't magically appear inside the magazine on a reload. 🤡
@@Ang3l2fly tell me you learned everything you know about guns from fortnite without telling me.
@@Ed_G_Boise You know a mag can be reloaded right ? You the one who knows guns from fortnite
@@hidenname541why on Earth would you keep reloading the same mag?! Lmfao!
Wow. I was skeptical of this short movie before watching it. By the end of it I had tears in my eyes and felt like I needed a therapy session. Truly great job!
This woman deserves to be in Hollywood, she nailed her role
When these shorts come out I only hear about them at the Oscar’s why am I just now finding this now it’s very good very powerful. How do others find what I can’t.
Glad the young man came to his senses and made right decision not to hurt anyone.
Stay strong , aware love your self and your neighbors
Bullying is one of thing cause this
No it's always shitty families there has never been a serial killer or school shooter on earth with big loving supportive families they are from cold households where generational trauma festers
Its amazing how far u get with a little bit of humanity.
DUDE i'm shivering when I was watching this
This actor plays the cobra kai bully in the show hahaha
2:12 apparently, he bought the bolt-action AK.
could be an off-brand ripoff 😂🤣
This is not how it goes but close to how to goes
It's pretty accurate. Here are exact quotes from a CNN article about the real life incident:
"By the end - with police themselves having never directly talked to him - Tuff and the gunman were talking about where he would put his weapon, how he’d empty his pockets and where he’d lie down before authorities could get him.
“It’s going to be all right, sweetie,” she tells Hill at one point in the call. “I just want you to know I love you, though, OK? And I’m proud of you. That’s a good thing that you’re just giving up and don’t worry about it. We all go through something in life.”
Tuff then let the gunman know that she’d been down before herself, but she’d picked herself up. He could, too.
“I thought the same thing, you know, I tried to commit suicide last year after my husband left me,” she said. “But look at me now. I’m still working and everything is OK.”
caseoh after he banned everyone:
caseoh finally snapped...
Wow! I have never watched anything on a school shooting and hoped nothing happened to the shooter until today. It definitely puts a whole different perspective on things
Wow! Didnt expect to watch this. Up it popped.
Fabulous acting. Great drama. I was gripped all the way.
The message was clear..if there was one.
Everybody hurts sometimes.
The compassion the beautiful lady showed was uplifting. Despite her fear She understood in some way.
The guy was unwell. Confused. Striking out!
The location of the film was quite disturbing at first. I doubted id watch it all but i did. WOW!
Am I the only one who actually got this on my recommended?
I broke down crying when he said “I have nobody”😢😭😭
Why the hell was this nominated for an academy award?
No idea
politics of course
the bar is so low and its for an agenda thats why
Because now awards are literally just given for when a movie covers a particular topic, absolutely nothing to do with acting quality or production quality. Horrendous that this has been nominated for so many awards, it's like a 10 year old made it.
@@User36282it’s like a 10 year old made this comment.
This was heart wrenching to watch
This particular Frank Hassle biopic was pretty good... not the best... but very good. hes a bit taller in real life though.
12:35 he apologized to all school people😢
this short movie has changed me in a very positive way
What an amazing courageous God fearing receptionist. She deserves a medal 🏅 👏 if this was real life.
It’s based on a true story, and the lady was a real person ms tuff.
I was bullied and was about to become a shooter.
I thought twice because my sick mother told me "don't hurt anyone please" in hospital.
Since then, I never put my hands on nobody and became successful.
I don't think they ever took the AK with them.
a good saying to say: God loves you.
Literally what no school shooter looks like
i’m not afraid to say it , it’s a film after all.
This is straight up corny and unrealistic. The acting is horrible . From what we know about school shootings , this is not how it goes down
I get trying to get a message across or showing what people go through during these situations but this was none of that . This was just a poorly made film . Hats off to the Cinematographer . but that’s about it .
Just my opinion. you have yours .
What's unrealistic? Be specific.
I will slightly agree with you. They kept it able to be on RUclips. It's not to the intensity that real ones are. But it wasn't poorly made. Corny in some parts. But not unrealistic. Definitely not

@@V1rtual18 ?
Thank you so much @B737-hh4yk 🤗 Glad you enjoyed the short film!
Not to make excuses, but most of these kids are lost. Sometimes one kind person can a difference.
Very well done. This film has taught me to stay true to who i am, that im proud of who i am. When i see news stories, i find myself to be the literal only comment mentioning how hard it is to be human, how complex it is, that no criminal willingly chooses darkness. I tend to no longer read replies since it's usually just jerks accusing me of condoning violence or sympathizing with the criminals. ❤
Having empathy isn't the issue.
It is the people that dismiss the extra reason that usually the tragedies end so big...which is that the killer does not carry a knife.
@@Widdekuu91 China's mass stabbings would like to have a word with you.
That was gripping. Very well done. Terrific performances. I was not inclined to watch something dramatic right now, yet somehow I found myself reading closing credits. Impressive and relevant. Keep on making.
im gripping rn
Why does he keep cycling a semi-automatic rifle? The whole point of it is that is cycles the next round for you. Minor, but it matters.
kid probably doesn't know much about firearms.
@@loner9832 more like the director doesn't know shit about firearms. Super annoying to notice the repeated cycling
I really like it on top of him outwardly saying he’s mentally unstable. We see it through his actions like you highlighted with the gun cycling it like it’s a fidget toy because the anxiety of the situation showing that mental turmoil.
I suspect it was a choice by the director. You can see him put the fire selector on safe when he surrenders the gun. I doubt it is because of lack of gun knowledge and more to show a man in distress handling a kalashnikov.
Ala Kablam!
who tf let caseoh get a gun?
😐
That is not funny
bro is literally Caseoh + Walter Jr.
poor kid , just needed someone to tell him they care.
caseoh said hell no
Those actors are absolutely amazing for their roles.
The acting in this is amazing, this is all pretty much word for word true and based on a real story, absolutely amazing 👍
People are not getting the help they truly need and this is where we have ended up..
Very well done. Had my heart racing the whole time. In American society where guns are held in high regard as the answer to many of life's unpleasant problems... criminals, government opposition, etc, in the hands of one who is mentally unstable, they are the stuff of nightmares.
@@jadedone6900 spoken from true European ignorance of American history and culture
I realise this depends on the state, but if she’d had a gun under the counter and shot him in the back the first time he went out the door and shot at the police. Would that count as self defence?
@@jamesallen7750 yes 100%
Only counts if you spell it right
@@shawn4979That's how it's spelled in England. You are presuming the person is from the US.
@@micheller6804 Thank you. I am indeed English.
That’s bricks from cobra Kai
school shooters would NOT be this chill
He really only wanted for himself and likely police to die, he was mentally ill and off his medication at the time.
it’s based off a real shooting, in Atlanta

@@ThatGuyVerinity yeah, look it up
@@ThatGuyVerinityclueless, do you not know what "mentally unstable" means?
One of the most powerful things ive seen in a while. Amazing
Great short film.
Nate Diaz sounding mf’er
When did Brucks become a school shooter
after eli humiliated him infront of cobra kai
I thought she was a goner when she went to the outside door and the dude stood back up off the floor.
This was a very well made video. It really just goes to show that mental health is not a joke and it should be taken more seriously.
I thought this was chocolate ad lol
Why did he rack the AK so many times lmao
Probably jammed
it sounded like a shotgun
@@Adam-u6pAKs never jam
@@kil-roy They do, though.
Incredibly moving short.
Good, however i fell like ending could have been better if it showed the receptionist visiting him in prison to show them working through the trauma together.
Such great actors all the way around. Stunning
why is my boss in this
? Wdym?
@sxmetom i think he's asking who was the one in charge of this production
@@deandreturnbull4081 nah my boss is an actor in this
As someone that once thought that violence was the only way out, I can relate to the boy. If you have violent thoughts seek help and especially God. Amen.
I liked Stephen by the end. This should be shown in schools. It has a strong message
How much are you gonna bet the media will blame it on violent video games?
They contribute but not cause it.
Just like incelforums.
@@Widdekuu91 ok but cant a video like this be seen as incitement too? lol
and ince/s are mostly harmless you hardly ever hear about them on the news
you hear more about domestic abuse between couples lmao
Great short film , i was waiting for the receptionist to say her son was shot in s school shooting.
Magnus Carlsen
Sophomore year we had a school shooting stopped before it could happen, showed a girl his hit list and her mom called the police and they arrested him before he could get to school. Senior year we realized we had the power to stop kids from even feeling like that in the first place. Us popular kids and athletes would go sit at the "loser" table or with the kid eating alone. Just make conversation with them, talk to them like any other friend, make jokes or fun of other popular kids with them. Dap them up in the hallway between class. Pick them for your team in gym class, stuff like that. If every school did what we did, recognize the "weird" kids and just make them feel normal, let them know they have a friend in the "popular crowd" it wouldng be any more school shootings. This was 15 years ago too
why does his name have to be steven thats my name 😭😭
At least he had an AK, not a scary AR15. This SO plays out like a Dhar Mann video
Better acting chops, though. That woman is one hell of an actress.
The cinematography and editing are really good. It's rare to see a vid that doesn't simply blame the gun. Good job.
AK is more scary AR is Semi
And AK is Auto also AK mostly have bigger caliber because AK Suppose for millitary use and AR is more civil
@@WarHundred Nonsense. None of them are scary. You have a lot to learn. It was a joke.
@@ArmchairRamb0 Yeah? Do you want to be infront of the barrel?
@@WarHundred
Both ARs and AKs are platforms used by the military and civilians
@@WarHundredThats litteral bs. Machine guns were made illegal and you need to have a pre ban one to even get one. Cant believe people like you vote. Ak’s can be semi just like AR-15’s. Go ahead and stay away from the internet so the world isnt infected from your baseless lies tyrant
You have to realize she realized in 23 years something even harder could strike his life...
Update: They are now married and have a family of 4. They live a happy life together.
wow, that was really powerful.
this won an Oscar? ONE sniper team and it was done in 2 minutes
it won an Oscar because it had good actors
Yeah you mong Oscars aren't for how accurate it is it's the actors
@@lewisofthehoood ok thanks
Thanks
Hi😊
Someone mentioned CaseOh lmao
POV when the whole thing was a act:
Is that the actor *Bo Mitchell* who played *"Brucks"* in Seasons 1 & 3 of the Netflix show *Cobra Kai?* 🐍✨️🤔❓️
Finally someone noticed
@@10MINUTESORMORE looks like hawk made him depressed after what he did to bricks in season 3 😅
Wow that was amazing. Really powerful, amazing acting and totally gets the message across that money should be invested in mental health. Ban guns, decriminalise drugs and take the money from policing and arms and put it into rehabilitation and mental health recovery. Both often intrinsically linked. But a brilliant short film, well worth the watch.
"I shot the police" - Him
"Oh, don't feel bad sweetie, my mother was a Black Panther (winks)" - Her
Why does he cock his gun after shooting the first round, it doesnt make any sens
This entire "film" doesn't make sense.
@@fsi1212 some people in the comment say that the film is based on true even that happened in 2013 at Atlanta
you ever heard of dramatic effect bro
@@cia5602 go on explain what you mean.
I mean the shooter is mentally unstable so maybe its a deliberate choice by director to show that he was lacking gun knowledge and under high stress
