Two Strangers Who Meet Five Times

The story is about two men who meet in five different situations in their lives. However, the scene is not in the order and the first time comes into the fourth scene. Therefore, the story begins from the second scene where they are quarreling at the cash point. As time goes by, we can find that their relationship gets better even if neither of them remembers the other each time.

At the first scene which is the second time they meet, Alistair treats the Asian man, Samir, badly. From the second scene which is the third time they meet, that does not happen. I think people watching this film think: 'Why does Alistair treats Samir so badly?' in the first scene. And the reason for it is revealed in the fourth scene which is the first time they meet when they are children. I thought the story shows Alistair's change of mind about how he treats other people. What is important is not the race but the humanity. In that sense, I thought that it is a good film.

"Two Strangers Who Meet Five Times" is a film about the opposite themes of racism and friendship. This film was made in 2017.

One man, Alistair and another man, Samir meet again in various years and various places. Alistair has strong stereotypes from his mother, so when he meets Samir, he looks at Samir with a discriminatory eye. However, when he finds himself in a difficult situation, Samir deals with him without discrimination. When they reunite when they are old men, how do they look at each other?

I think this film is a very deep story about friendship. In fact, the way the story unfolds is very unique, but the friendship that began to develop between them at the end of the story is very touching.

This is a great short film that includes a lot in 12 minutes, and is well worth watching.

"Two Strangers Who Meet Five Times" is a drama that depicts the development of the relationship between two characters. One day, the two meet on the street, but this is not actually their first encounter. They end up meeting five times in total. During their first and second encounter, Samir, who is of Middle Eastern descent, is insulted. However, in the third and fourth meetings, the positions are reversed and Alistair, a white Englishman, is in a lower position. The story is gripping, and it makes us think about how the two people's positions and situations have changed drastically over time. The development of the story is interesting, but there are some dark parts as one of the themes is racial discrimination. In the final scene, Samir doesn't speak a single word, but by refusing to let him speak, I think this has the effect of making the ending of the story even better. I recommend watching this short film.

I loved this short film. A poignant look into today's world and all of it's judgmental fervor. Wonderfully thought-provoking and surprising. Everyone should watch!

Alistair meets Samir for the second time at a cash point. Alistair gets annoyed because of his slow behavior. Then, he says to Samir some discriminatory remarks. A few years later, when they meet for the third time, Alistair takes an interview test to join a company. Samir is the CEO of the company. For the fourth time, Alistair loses his house. Samir passes by him and gives some money to help him. For the fifth time, Alistair works as a helper and comes to talk to an old man who seems to have dementia. The man is Samir. The last scene is the first time they meet in their childhood.

The genre of this movie was human drama, and it was made in 2017. It has an interesting structure. The key point is they meet as "two strangers" all the time. This is because one man doesn't remember the other for the last time they meet. I don't know whether they didn't remember intentionally or accidentally, but it is interesting to think about the story of the blank time. It's very worth watching.
