Strangers, again - Wong Fu Productions

The short film is all about stages of relationship between couples. From the video, we can see that there are six (6) stages of relationship between couples. Starting with, Stage 1: Meeting where Josh and Marissa as strangers, met because of a shoelace. In this stage, two persons are getting to know with each other and met because of an object, sign, or coincidence. Next is Stage 2: The Chase where the two persons are courting to get to know more with each other and will finally become a couple. After that is Stage 3: Honeymoon where the couple is now doing sweet things to each other and doing things for romantic relationships. After the uneasiness to each other fade out, it will follow the Stage 4: Comfortable where the couple's routine of sweet things may start to decrease. Next is Stage 5: Tolerance where the couple's starting to argue with each other and tolerating each other's actions leading to misunderstandings. After that is Stage 6: Downhill where the intensity of arguments has increased leading to ignoring each other's feelings and hurting of the pride of one another. Lastly, the worst part is Stage 7: Breaking-up where the couple can no longer heal their situation and decided to stop their relationship. In this stage, the couple might stay good friends, or become strangers, again.

The cinematography of the short film is very good. The content is made of good quality where the acting is well done. The content is also very timely and relevant to the present time and many viewers can relate from the message of the short film. If I will recommend something for the short film, it would be the casts of it. They should get actors and actresses which are more convincing and more professional. They should also consider the compatibility of the protagonists.

For me, the message of the short film is that love is a choice. Every relationship goes through many stages. Where and how each stage develops is completely up to the couple. While we always hope for the best for our relationship, we often can't avoid the inevitable. If you are the one for each other, then you will be.
