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.

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!

"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.

The story of "Two Strangers Who Meet Five Times" revolves around two men who cross paths with each other at different times in their lives. Each meeting has a great impact on one or other of them. Interestingly, the meetings are not displayed in chronological order. Starting with the second encounter, Alistair is introduced as a racist man, discriminating against Samir who merely tries to get money from a cashpoint. His actions soon backfire on him when he meets Samir for the third time. The first meeting of the protagonists is inserted before their last reencounter. This part of the movie offers some context to Alistair's racist behavior and the audience gets an idea about the environment he grew up in. I think the placing of the different sequences is very well chosen. The non-linear narrative adds greatly to the development of Alistair's character and the story in general. "Two Strangers Who Meet Five Times" is a story about racism but even more about reaching out to each other and personal growth. A marvelous movie that is definitely worth watching!

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.
