Back watching this, I was a mere child when I first watched this. Now I'm going to college and I realize the older you get the less friends you have. You should appreciate everything around you, such as family, friends, and yourself. Make a difference and you'll be a happier person
Now, I have a wonderful girlfriend 1 year strong, wouldn't trade anything in the world for her. Still living by the same principles. Don't be afraid to say "I love you" to your friends and family. Relationships; Family is precious. Whoever is reading this now, You are loved, make sure to remind the most important person in your life that...You.
@@itsjustcarguy :)
F--k everybody especially Neighbours an Family, I hate them.
It always the mark of great storytelling when you can feel the emotions of the characters without any dialogue. Beautifully done!
That time a short film tells the story of your life in a nutshell.
I siting here, screaming, SMILE AT HER YA DOOF!
Seriously...
I know, right?! xD
+Rose Booker This is what happens when you've had botox treatments...
Rose Booker And I atleast wave your hand !😂😂
lol he should have gone for a nose job instead
Same thought exactly, I am yelling (in my head) SMILE SMILE SMILE...come on! I expected that by the time he lift his head she has already left the café :D total loser...but I always like happy endings
well that was.... awkward.... nice ending though.... but deep down everyone is lonely in some sense... especially those who "need" someone to fill that loneliness.... we all have our own worlds in which we exist to the exclusion of everybody else... but to be alone without the weight of being lonely comes through the ability to be a complete person.. a mistake that most people make is that a relationship is going to solve their problems of loneliness and be able to make them whole and complete... and that is why most relationships fail....
wow.. how wonderfully u said that. yes that's so true dear.
Nibedita Paul
thanks!
+Han Lockhart thumbs up
Han Lockhart well said 👍
I agree with you :-)
When he picked up the rose, it symbolized he believed in love again
Dear Tony, Terrance, and Rolan ~ Please pardon some of the less than eloquent mutterings of my thick-headed fellow Americans -- your film is exquisite! It is a symphony, a poem, a bouquet of loveliness. It is quite evident that every single second of this movie was artfully crafted. The delight of nuance, of restraint, of suggestion, of the simple gesture is everywhere in evidence. Bravo for taking your time to get it just right. How few of the contributions to RUclips ever strive to meet such high standards. This video was truly a treat and I hope that you continue to work your magic in the digital arts and bring greater gifts to the world in the years to come. Bravisimo!
Rebecca Armstrong yes! I agree with you. It feels like every second of this animation has been thoughtfully created with subtle details.
Why are you assuming that every one watching this is American
You know, it's only the shallow cowards who passive-aggressively talk shit about people they don't know over the opinions they're entitled to have.
Your response to this video was way to verbose. Also the apology at the beginning of your paragraph was completely unnecessary.
Thank you, Rebecca
but in all seriousness, I love this video. It captures every emotion a guy goes through when feeling alone and the animators did a fantastic job portraying a realistic situation with believable feelings behind it.
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, I'm having a hard day, my uncle died hours ago and I was just watching short films and this one made me Smile, thanks for making my day better.............. God bless
Well, good to see that he gets a happy ending. Being an introvert, I know exactly what this feels like, except for me it will probably be a bad ending.
Introverts enjoy being alone and even prefer it, you're just anti-social or another depressed teenager slinging names of things you think suit you onto yourself because you read it on the internet. That or you actually went to a psychologist who deemed you to be introverted, in which case he was wrong since introverts don't usually feel the NEED to be with someone like that french dude up there.
***** introverts get lonely too(that's why introverts can have friends or partners or whatever)...and it's not a psychological problem! a psychologist isn't like 'ah, I see the problem...you're an introvert.' it's just a trait, like being funny, or courageous, etc.
***** sounds a bit too strong. Could be a little more gentle.
*****
You are describing Schizoid personality.
Introverts still need human attention, but they prefer one on one relationships instead if being in groups.
I am sorry for what I have said here, I don't know why I did say it anymore but I am sorry. Not much else I can say but excuses, but I don't want to start an even bigger cluster fuck on this cool video
I'm a introvert.. and this movie beautifully depicts how does it feels.. loved it..
Simply beautiful! The expressions on each of their faces are so true-to-life and so perfectly done. We know what they are feeling...the tentativeness, the questions, the growing confidence.
The facial expressions where just WOOOOW! :D
Great music that goes so well with the animation!
At first.
أذىلتڔلخ
Absolutely
Cute! The eye movements were so true, very well captured, excellent work!
Oh how I love happy endings I was getting worried there for a while he w a s a bit SLOW.
HE LACKED SO MUCH SELF ESTEEM which is the problem here ,
I though he was going to commit suicide cause it seems like it.
Well that restaurant interaction was uncomfortable to watch lol. It’s funny to think that one point we didn’t have phone distractions and didn’t have much to look at while out dining.
He's cute but he has staring problems
Yes, perhaps apart from that bit about cute.
He was day dreaming while looking at her, different than staring.
The creep meter was rising.
Jan J yeh but which way?
Romeo P. precisely
I'm really amazed with the way this film depict the character's eyes and body language. It's just so real and touching
The piano is soooo beautiful!
I'm really glad I'm not the only one who thought the guy was creepy for staring so long, and with such a blank expression. It was pretty obvious the girl noticed him and even stared back for a minute, yet got no reaction from him and so looked away again, yet he till just stared. She even looked a bit uncomfortable, but maybe that's just me.
Anyway, the animation itself was fantastic. The story, not so much.
He was obviously lost in his thoughts. Holy shit ppl are dumb
ive noticed that they seem to put the loneliness of singleness on bachelors. im a woman and have been single all my life so far. women experiance the same thing.
firecracker 91 Yes, we do. 💓
+firecracker 91
Well, that wouldn't surprise me. Women are just as human as men, thus we experience several of the same emotions. I hope one day you can find someone to love (unless of course, you're asexual, I just hope you can be happy then). I must disagree with the part of your comment where you say "the loneliness of singleness of bachelors", though. I've seen similar stories with female roles.
Sincerely, a random teenage boy.
Thank you lol
firecracker 91 you are pretty can I be your boyfriend ?
Aw sorry sweetheart....I started dating a guy in January. A bit late now 😅
very good. The subtle face movements are well captured for an animation .. and are beleiveable
What does the short film want to say in other words, JUST DO IT!
DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS
Kyriakos Kyriakou or Nobody stays lonely forever :)
Souresh Pal You will stay lonely if you don't act.. Grow some B***s and speak with words, open yourself. There might be some disappointments but they shouldn't let you down, you keep trying and you will see results.
+Kyriakos Kyriakou hjuio miiijjjjjjjyyýtteew1@33
I thought it was sweet and very lovely the reason he was staring was obvious he had loved before and was reluctant to
go through that pain again. That is why it is a beautifully gently made love story.
yes.this is the endding i truly hoped！
I think its funny how he just spaced out there. And she''s like "uhhh........ oh hes cute."
He seems like he's an introvert. Just because you're alone doesn't mean you're lonely.
You are fabulous. We use film in school and education; students work on it in projects, and we show it, which is appreciated. Thank You
I love it! The facial expressions of the characters are very well shown, and the details of the surrounding are fun to notice, too (the other people in the park and the egstinguisher on the wall at the door). This is a pro's work!
A nicely told romantic tale. Anyone alone but not by choice can empathize with this character. @ those who do not understand, raised in a world where you have been taught to be afraid of anyone you do not know - a person, this character, a man, can be so captivated by their perception of beauty that for a moment the rest of the world can slip into obscurity and only the vision they perceive remains. A world of thoughts can happen in that instant. This is not "weird", this is natural! Beautiful!
I’ve been watching for the past few years and I can’t get over how great it is
I love the way his face expresses everything regular people feel without having to say anything :)
This is me in daily life but without the creepy staring.
I'm a loner just like this legend in the video
This is very creative, very well done with the emotions, etc. This is definately a winner with the likes of Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks etc. in my opinion, hope to see other animations like this one soon, WELL DONE !!!
Still not a happy ending though.. More like a desperate way to find love.
And why would you say that? I thought it was cute
***** *keeps staring at you*
Like how the guy looked at the girl in the video. That's me staring at you xD
***** Which is weird since I don't even know how you look. But shh just go with it haha
Champmeister91 Yall just wanna fall in love in my comment section or something?
Lady in the cafe, her awkwardness beautiful animation.
no one waits forever......love finds its own way...........
ive been single most of my life and im soon 30 years old... so yeah i wouldnt say that loves finds its own way... it comes to those who are confident... and there are those who lost their confidence due to bullying and stuff... including me
Erik Boström Love is a weird thing - I have had a marriage where I thought - well this must be what love is - it wasn't but I didn't know until some years passed and I truly fell in love after meeting someone is odd circumstances, He was the love - gone now - I don't have confidence to do what friends suggest and 'get out there' - never really did - I hope you meet someone but from my experience it happens when you least expect it, But I understand bullying that erodes self esteem - just hold your head up and don't let the bullies win.
j9andphoenix
yeah i know
+Erik Boström dealt with bullying too but no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Your worthy of love like everyone else.work on your confidence and that special someone will come when least expect
TheGummybears101 i cant work on my confidence if i have no one to help me build it up, but yeah i agree that if i had confidence that someone would come along
Stalking guy with the stares of a thousands pain.... Unable to fill his heart with the thing called love...
Liked it!
I couldn't stop thinking about the movie "Amelie" when watching this. Great short!
Great job capturing expressions. :-)
No fair that you didn't show his next move after picking up the rose.
Right? I was impatiently waiting.. LOL!! hahaha
budget cut, lol
Truth be told, cardigan ponytail girl and fedora mustache guy make a good couple.
this was incredibly sweet. and the soundtrack was awesome. thank you!
The 1st one in the music is called "Le moulin" and the second one is called "La valse d'Amelie".
And btw its really good and cute,Good job.
Great video. Now if only it were that easy for me to get a girlfriend.
+MrHothead099 I don't know how easy that was,,,but yea I know.
Yes, not an easy task! :)
??
Don't we all
+Han Lockhart not really but I understand many women play whit hearts but boys do 2 but there are really good people in this world who just want someone to love and care for and I'm a girl and I'm not the girl who just plays around
Beautiful.
Very nice! Finally a story without a depressing or disturbing end. I like it that your took your time to develop the story. And I appreciate that you let things for our imagination.
The music is so beautiful it goes with the mood of the film but has a soul of its own....
poor guy but such a awesome ending! :)
+Han Lockhart FFS Han your just a wee bit bitter ...just because the last one didn't suit you , try again pal it's worth it .
230 dislikes are Bachelor with bad ending :(
I feel so lonley on most days. The internet is all I have
oh great - now i am all teared up - seriously - that was lovely -merci
All he had to do was creepily stare at the first single girl he saw. Sheesh. Being forever alone is a sad ending even the French won't do.
"The Nosey Bachelor " 👃
Such an old movie yet so relatable and beautiful.
I've just seen this animated dude and I felt close to him as if he was my best friend. This is relatable af!! Like one day I walked past five couples straight and afterwards I felt as If I was going to be alone forever!
Yann Tiersen.! I Love him.!
Don't even think that you will be lonely or single ever!!!!
they have a CHANCE to have it!! :D :)
Anne Arnaldo Nice false hope there. We all know women are shallow.
To reveal much of the character's past in a series of still images was brilliant. A great short.
It sure put a smile on my face, thats the sign of a good director.
and then they become a lonely couple.
How?
this story name should be a desperate loners...
SQUEAL! Oh, my gosh, that was beautiful. Please create more of these beautiful videos. I am watching it over and over again, this is so good. Now this is what I call perfect love. :)
So many volumes conveyed without a single utterance. Touching.
That was creepy
That stair was really long o_O
The instrumental music played in the background is the heart of the vedio..... which totally flatters you and take into its own world🎶🎵
For 3D characters modeled on the cartoon-ish side, the expression of emotions in both was easy to see and well done. Many tend to overdo facial animation. It becomes unnatural and cartoonish in itself. This was very well done and an impressive “first effort”.
Encore
Music??
(That stare tho)
GeoFii _ music:Le moulin By Yann Tiersen
the bachelors nose is so big!
Outstanding digital art. Totally absorbing.
All because we want our life to be like a romantic movie. But reality can be found only in internet..😅
its not nice to stare!
Crap ending. but the piano was brilliant
this is such a beautiful animation :) i love the music with it and how its set out
so romantic in the end and sad at the beginning its breath taking :)
Awwww.... Such a lovely storyline. Very nice too!
why was he staring at her like that? that's just creepy..... but I still like it.
+Lyka Wallace He didn't stare at her. He's self-absorbed. She mistook that he's staring her. That's why he was a bit surprised too when he realized it and actually saw the girl at 4:42.
If I ever stared at a woman like that she would call the cops.
Cop: So you like to stare at white women do you?
Me: It's not like that, I just...
Cop: You're a sick SICK bastard!
Me: I'm not like that, please just listen to me.
Cop: He's resisting arrest! *slams head on table* You're going away for a long LONG time, you son of a bitch!
Lester Robinson It's hard to be a nigga.
Chill fella.
Lester Robinson haha yup
It's not only the animation that shows emotion but also the music it is so so i don't know calming
Wow...its...gud...the models, texturing and backgrounds are all nice and smooth... keep up !!
I HATE HAPPY ENDINGS!
jon powell your name is almost the same as a famous artist
jon powell ...but why..?
More like the creepy self-pitying stalker.
I LOVED THIS! A good head of hair, healthy demeanor, and a rose by any other name...tah dah!🆗
OMG someone gets me! It was indeed a great piece, but from his flashbacks and his random staring at the lady in the diner ( regardless of outcome) I thought he was borderline crazy
the guy had such a big nose!! No wonder he did not had a girlfriend......
lol
WTF , why you hate men with big noses
of course not!! but he was da only person in the whole video who had a big nose
Chandrima Sarka don't say that his nose is perfect
i just kidding with you [^_^}
Loneliness can be a great strength too. It teaches us many principals of life. It teaches us to become self independent and not to get driven by faulty emotions. This video shows loneliness as a weakness but to me it' can be one's greatest strength.
How
Very well done. I spoke volumes without saying a word.
I think a few commenters missed the point- the everyday becomes beautiful when you focus on it. A dream is ultimately a distraction as by its nature it can never be realised.
This was sweet...Wale used the song at the end as beat to one of his songs....its so nice.
awesome, took me back to my old bachelor days. I touched my heart...
This was amazing. I wish I could triple thumbs-up it. Like Phil Collins said...
Beuatiful story, I love it!!!
(Hermosa historia, Me encanta!!!)
But the sad truth is, not every single bachelor guy has the conclusion of their story like this😞
NOBODY knows the beauty of LONELINESS .... ...
U know u can feel the warmness of sun
the saltiness of sea....cold breeze......
IN that way .....U R NEVER ALONE.....
Literally I don't have courage to tell her that how beautiful she is ❤️
Instead inside me telling myself that i ain't that beautiful 😔 and she will reject me ..
- its been 2 years i saw her daily , same time & same place but never said anything 💔
Same...!
At your point.🙂
Hope, one day your love will be understood 💗
In love with the music!!
My heart just melted! 😍
This is so real and beautiful...I felt that I am that man
At some point we have all been at that point in life. Well done, especially pairing with the music.
really shows the inner emotions of this lonely guy. excellent!
