Two Strangers Who Meet Five Times

This shows how a simplest plot - two man meeting five times in their lives, and each time them changing, becoming better person - can make a good movie. Short, but it has everything it needs.

The two man hurts each other at first, but as a result, the two help each other, becoming a better person. It's so brilliant how the same event happening five times in the film could wrap up one story so clean.

This film shows what a.good deed can do. One man helps the other man and he ends up getting help from the person he helped years later. It also shows how one person's power can be weakened so much on what kind of situation they are in. The other man's power and confidence definitely weakened when he was in a desperate situations.

A great movie.

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.

Maybe, superb is the only fair term to define it. Because it is just the expected telegram for many of us. Two men, very differents for so many aspects. And five meetings as borders of ages. Different reactions, different situations. And the fusion between the first and the last meeting. Short, a sort of contemporary poem. Must see it !

"Two Strangers Who Meet Five Times" is a short film about two men, Alistair and Sammy, who meet five times in their lives. Alistar is a white man, and Sammy is an immigrant. This is important for this film. This film is not told in chronological order, so it starts with the second time, and we can know their first time meeting after the story progresses. I feel it makes us get to know these two guys more deeply because in this scene, we can see the development of their personalities, especially Alistar's, so I like this film's structure of the story. Through this film, what impressed me most was that when the other person did something to someone, they remembered that person, and conversely, the person who did something to them did not remember, such as in the third time Sammy remembers Alistair, but Alistair doesn't, and for the fourth time Alistar remembers Sammy, but Sammy doesn't. I think this film is important to think about racism, so I recommend watching it.

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!
