- A man goes to his 17th job interview.
GREEN LUCK is used with permission from Emanuele Daga. Learn more at emanueledaga.com.
Phillip is going out for a job interview. It's been a hard journey, and this is his 17th round. But his mom is sending him off with plenty of love and support for her precious "gummy bear"...who is also a grown man.
But when Phillip finds a four-leaf clover -- and an attractive woman calls out "Hey cutie!" as she passes by -- it gives him a boost of confidence to move forward. But as he finds himself in one mishap after another, his luck may just run out before he even gets his foot in the door.
Written and directed by Emanuele Daga, this sweet comedy has a charming, gentle spirit, finding both fun and sympathy with a hapless soul trying to cope with the foibles of his life as they pile up around him. And boy, do they pile up, as Phillip finds himself in one pickle after another -- some made on his own, some created by sheer bad luck.
The writing is compact and concise, laying down each beat clearly and constructing a character who's been coddled too long by a doting but overbearing mother. Phillip is ill-equipped to cope with the small but piquant obstacles in life, a fact made clear as he goes in for his interview and finds himself surrounded by more polished, professional candidates in the waiting room. With his weird hair, ill-fitting suit and general air of dishevelment, Phillip stands out in a bad way, and he experiences a spiral of anxiety and shame.
With such a character, it would be easy to lapse into sharp, biting satire. But with its sparkling bright old-school Hollywood orchestral musical score and an amiable brightness in the look and feel, the film announces itself as a cheerful, friendly world, and often chooses a tone of gentle silliness instead of manic biting energy. The film is firmly on Phillip's side, even as we watch him get into one small scrape after another.
Actor Anton Nassif's performance, along with the other supporting performances, plays up certain moments with an almost 50s-style sitcom wink-and-nudge. But generally, it's a quieter performance, one that shares a heritage perhaps with the characters embodied by Buster Keaton, who played his striving but often hapless would-be heroes with deadpan silliness and deep vulnerability. Similarly, this performance is grounded in the emotional truth of a character cowed by the demands of adult life. And when the embarrassment of his situation becomes abundantly clear, he has no choice but to face the truth -- which sets him free in many ways at the end.
GREEN LUCK ends on a sweetly triumphant note, one that is well earned through its consistency to its warm, friendly tone. Some comedies aim for belly-aching laughs or a dark edginess. But GREEN LUCK goes for a perhaps old-fashioned sincerity and even affection, bringing some chuckles and smiles to viewers. In the end, Phillip wins out by a mistake of perception. But the only real note of irony is that this trick of perception was created by Phillip's endearing combination of innocence and vulnerability, which finally wins out when he finds his true voice at the end.

I love how that the girl that called him cute,wasn't even talking to him. Changed his entire mindset though,since he thought she was. Brilliant.
Yes aggree.. by finding the leaf him become more confident in every problem he meet. And finnaly he got lucky by getting opportunity to the company of his dreams.
If only things worked out the way it did like this gentleman. More than likely, as HR, they'd probably frown upon the self-deprecation. They'd listen awkwardly before politely asking you to leave while wishing you good luck. Well, at least he had the courage to try and fail again for 17 times. I wish I had at least half of this guy's courage and resolve to get a job. *sighs
Edit: Right, I forgot. Thanks, Omeleto for bringing us another relatable short film. Looking forward for more.
Nah, some places are pretty weird like this. You get unexpected responses lmao
@@XandriaRavenheart That's probably the case if they had a similar experience, had compassion, they had a good feeling about you, etc.
From a business standpoint, however, a lot of businesses need to be objective in choosing candidates since they risk their time and resources hiring you. You're an investment, and you'll need to prove you're worth it.
@@blacklight1104 You're right. Most places aren't like this story. Reality is not sweet and funny. That's why we watch movies, to run away to the fantasy world. To get a glimpse of the impossible.
@@cahidijoyoraharjo7833 yea I know. We can dream and just keep trying I guess. Life is all about learning from failures anyways.
Weird edit. Are you being compensated to thank and look forward to more Omeleto? It is already a freaky thing with how "Allen" is the center of everything Omeleto.
He wouldn't have landed the job if he hadn't had no choice but to be true to himself
"Always do you" a wise proverb says
Which only happens in a movie. The real world is harsh, unlike this story. In reality, this nice man would've been chewed off and spitted out by companies like that.
Except truthness doesn't work, lying is how employers hire for a regular job.
@@Mobin2000 Exactly! The real world isn't like in the movies. It's the ugly truth. Although I'm itching to correct you, it's truth not truthness. Truthness isn't a word.
Beautiful. Proof that you just got to keep trucking on in life because you never know when your luck will change.
Omg, it's like looking at myself... i hope this has a happy ending after moving out.
We're gonna need a part 2 of this!
@@cahidijoyoraharjo7833 a sequel often messed up the message of the movie, let the story continue in our mind with our own plot
@@robertalvin1243 Not if it is a part of a trilogy.
@@cahidijoyoraharjo7833 ayeee.. you got me hahaha
6:03 "I came here making sure I had the right speech, the right hair..." he says, at which point the camera jumps to the black haired lady, who raises her eyebrows slightly and without moving her head, moves her eyes quickly to the left to the interviewer and back. Perfect touch!
I mean that's probably the realistic reaction.
She probably thinks "Sir, we just wanted to know what you're capable of. Not hear your life story." Then tries to defer to the leading figure asking with her eyes
"Are we seriously gonna hire this guy?"
The director is Italian, and he made this interview the 17th on purpose. In Italy, the number 17 is the unlucky one, similar to how 13 is in the English speaking world. Its Roman numeral (XVII) can be rearranged, to form the Latin word VIXI, meaning "I lived", hence, I'm dead.
13 is a bad unlucky number in the US
Hey thanks for the information, I had no idea.
Lol, not for me. A Friday the 13th baby. 😊💙🌎
What a great little short. Anna Strickland's character mom is hysterical! Loved it.!
Thank you Patti! !!!!! ❤️
Whether you think you CAN or you think you CAN’T, you are RIGHT!
Confidence starts in our minds and we give others way too much power over what we think of ourselves. Ultimately, being honest and genuine is always the best and it is what he did! It’s an endearing little flick. 😊
He survived by single thread of love till this age and made luck out of it in 17th attempt..I have never seen anything so beautiful before.
What a light and delightful short! Love Tony's acting.
after he said hes moving out, the music was exciting, like when kevins mom walked in and hugged him because they left him Home Alone..good vibe
yeah true from beginning I was having... Home Alone vibe :)
I just finished my B.A. and am on the job hunt. This gives me hope. Even if things like this never happen in real life.
Did you find a job?
@@Noa...... yes I did! I'm a security officer at a community college! More like a receptionist tho.
@@flowerboy4269 hey congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@flowerboy4269 congratulations!!!
Congratulations!! 👏🎉
Loved being part of this wonderfully funny film. The cast and crew were awesome. This is a memorable film with great writing and direction.👱🏻♀️🎬
You were wonderful!
@@ams70 Thank you👱🏻♀️🍀🎬
It was very enjoyable
Another delightful short, Omeleto. Is it only me but he looks like Bill Gates, till the wig came off...
Yeah! I had the same impression
If only life was actually like this. "Why do you want this job?" "For money. I agree to do the task required if you agree to pay me for it" It's that simple.
This video is one big placebo affect of confidence which in turn lead to “luck”
His jacket , it s killing me .
Great short 👏👏👏👏 great writing and acting. Congratulations, and thank you for making it available.
“Of course it’s hard. It’s supposed to be hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. Hard is what makes it great.”
Brilliant is an understatement… We need a part 2 for this 😊
Mom's love and belief in her kids are deep and immeasurable, irrespective of his/her age. 🙏🏻
The opening is heart warming.
The mother was the one holding him back.
At last he said he is moving out. 😭
Simply lovely!
BRAVO 👏 👏 👏!
I upvoted when the first guy is interviewing and refers to his hair being blond when he was a kid.
Something very funny about that to me.
Lovely story, well acted too. Very uplifting to see a short with a positive ending too.
Brilliant. Except for the cliché stereotype, but brilliant. As an HR person, I loved how the protagonist in his reherasal in front of the mirror, and also how that other interviewee, fling about all the empty cliché words learned by heart, and which will not impress any recruiter.
That underachieving mama's boy looks like young Bill Gates
SO enjoyably delightful. 💙🌎
ok, erm, I don't usually do this but I really just had to give my two cents.
"and look at me...things never go the way you want them to. And that's why we have insurance."
you see, the fact that the company that he was applying for is an INSURANCE company is what makes the movie genius. If he had walked into any other job with that exact same speech, he probably wouldn't have gotten the job. Because the entire point of insurance, is that sometimes, even when you try your best for bad things to not happen they still happen. You can take all the safety precautions in the world but there is zero guarantee that you won't lose all your possessions to some disaster, there is no guarantee that you won't get into a car accident. And the fact that his situation just proves this point, and how it just looked like a giant act to the boss, makes complete sense in the context.
A truly delightful short. Love the old school vibe, underpinned by a fitting score. The ending left a question or two, which I guess was purposeful and kinda bonds you with character even more.
This put a big, fat smile on my face.
Congrats and kudos to all involved in this beautiful short. It made my day👍
Yeah like that old school vibe.
Your comment was very well written. ✍
You summed it up perfectly.
@@ricardocarmona5210 Thank you. That was kind of you to comment 👍
Light, touching and delightful. Thanks !l
Fantastic! I loved every bit of it! Congratulations, Daga😃! Hope to see you again very soon and be a part of another one of your amazing productions❤️!
Agree!!!
Kudos, I watched this one twice back to back. I noticed a lot of things the second time I didn't in the first. Thanks!
This short made my day. As Billy Joel would say, I am moving out!!!
I plan to binge on Omeleto on this hot summer day. Thank you for these enjoyable, thought provoking shorts.
Finally a film the family can watch.
At least he is getting interviews, i don't even get that.
lol even I had the same thought
It’s because your a Chelsea fan
Wishing you luck
@@MrEnrique559 hahahaha
Brilliant, what a change around.
Wow!! One of the best that I've seen.
6:29 the honest man nailed it
Good film. This guy reminds me a lot of myself, except I still have all my real hair.
One of the best in recent times
Absolutely love this! I will have to watch over and over
Beautiful! The tone, the music
The music was so cool🤪!
That was great 👍 I loved it!!! Superb job! Got me 😆!
Best thing ever mum, I'm moving out 🤣😂
This was so wholesome!
0:31 How many lost it? Honestly? I did. "My gummy bear" 🤣
Can't wait for the series (?) this is brilliant!
Great uplifting piece of work that was very well directed with the editing giving it a perfect pace. A great central performance by Anton Nassif who nailed the character without making it cartoony made this a very entertaining viewing.
Loved the film! Loved the actors! There’s a little bit of “Gummy Bear” in all of us! A very endearing little film!
Thanks Richard ❤️😁😂😂😂
Started really well. The actor is great. I saw a lot of promise. It was good. I think this could go a lot of ways.
He is fabulous!
Fully enjoyed this! Loved the tone and story! Bravo!
Has got to be my fav on this channel
It's not everyday that you get to watch an Omeleto film that's not open ending.
THAT WERE A DAMN GOODUN - *BRAVO!!!!!!!*
Reminds me of a billy Joel song "Anthonys song" (mama if that's moving up, then I'm moving out)
Wow, I really like the show at 0:52-1:17 minutes. This is like my experience this way can increase my confidence. Although not so with Mr Green.
Mr Green spoke in front of the mirror like a person in an interview. That slightly managed to make him understand more about the real situation he had to face during the interview.
At least, Mr Green could know what to say when asked interview questions. He will be much better prepared to answer any questions that arise. This method is also used by many people, including me and my friends when going to a job interview.
By doing this, we can be more confident and better prepared for the interviewer. Mr Green is doing something nice there. It's just, he needs something that makes him better and much more confident.
Practicing yourself and speaking in front of a mirror did not make Mr Green feel confident right away and make him better prepared for the interview. Instead, he needed something else that would make him more confident.
Speaking in front of the mirror by preparing several answers, did not make Mr Green immediately confident and ready with everything. But thankfully, he finally found a way to breed to make him confident.
Stunning!!!!! Well done!
LOVED THIS.. brilliant!
This was really sweet - yay for gummy bear! 🥳
The BEST decision he'll EVER make!
"Mom, I'm moving out"
Moms are great, but only up to age 21.....after that, you're on your own!
If you're not, then get a new bib and dummy, because you'll be tied to the apron strings for an eternity...... 😂 😃 😄 😅
Oh wow, this is a goodie!!! I've got a big smile. Thanks Omeleto :)
ok. i am a new subscriber. I gotta be honest. I am loving all the short movies I have seen so far. I think I will Omeleto binge watch this weekend and watch them all. You, sir, are brilliant!
I Yelled Fantastic.... Things Never Go the way You want them To Do They..! Guess Thats Why We Have Insurance
Beautiful. LOVED IT!!!
Tony Nassif is a God tier actor
Very well shot and preformed short!
Great job, good story and acting. Very entertaining and enjoyable
So this is how Ned Flanders from Groundhog Day got his start.
great. quirky, and relatable
LOL this was so good, had me laughing, good short!
This was a FUN one; totally enjoyable from minute one!
Love your channel, and thank you! ~ Amy XOXO
Great laughs - I love it! 🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻
Simply brilliant 👏
Wholesome and fun!
LOL. That was brilliant!
The 'boss man' at the interview seems to be just enough out of touch with reality that Mr. Green will succeed.
I was so happy for him "hi got the jerb,and no body will ever take his jerb! 👍👌😂
Great short!
Well I am moving out too from now onwards after watching this 🙃
Oh, God! They're all younger than him! He's like, a hundred years old compared to them! He's gotta be the oldest mama's boy I've ever seen.
And yet, his humility wins out!
im a lady. and that mom and son scenario? it happens to all asian kids regardless of age and gender 😆
This gave me crazy anxiety.
Amazing 👏
I can't say anything but beautifullllll...great job guys 👍
Genius!!
Genius he who wrote it!
God you never fail to entertain . 10/10 ❣️
Finally good ending
Sweet resolution!
Reminds me of Forest Gump when everyone was following him when he ran.
Great work guys/gals. We are proud of you Anton ;)
I agree he was wonderful!
He really convinced me to buy a insurance
Fantastic!!!
I loved this !
Simply PERFECT
Fairy tale silly, but still fun. He'll last in the insurance racket just long enough to not draw unemployment after he inevitably fails to meet quotas and gets let go. 🤣
Tell us you're cynical without telling us you're cynical.
@@buckwheat6245 🤣 But it's true, though, isn't it?
@@MisterG2323 Like it is true tho
Part 2!!!!
