I saw it coming when he told the boy that it was going to be OK, even when he knew it wasn't. He could have said "you are about to die in my arms", but he preferred to comfort the boy in the latter's last moments of life, even if it meant more suffering for himself. A beautiful gesture.
I remember when I read this story... walking in I knew where it was going, that didn't matter.....this was done so beautifully.......the ending was wow

I hate how much this hurt me. I love how great the storytelling was. Absolutely blindsided by the end. I hate how criminally underrated this film is. Look at that; no scars.
Ok, this was AWESOME. I love the world building in this and would love to see it as a feature film. The possibilities could be endless. If you're a captured soilder being interrogated, the enemy would know for sure when you're lying. This world is very intriguing to say the least. Awesome film with great actors and amazing cinematography. I'd love to see the BTS for this as well.
I think the magic in these short films is the short time they last. So much goes into such a short time ... they are always so well made always leaving you wanting more.
@@martinwebb1681Yeah, I think that it has to be a short film. A big part is the twist, and I think that almost every audience member judged him at least a little.
I know this is a very late comment but this one is my favorite video. it actually made my eyes water. It was a gut punch and literally knocked the breath out of me. That's beyond heartbreaking. Well done!
As a hard of hearing person, I wish this had official subtitles. There are a few lines of dialogue I can't hear at all, like when the girl mutters something and Slick says how do you know and she replies she pays attention. CZcams's autogenerator didn't pick up anything from it.
A gteat story. The end is simply WOW. To how many of his passed soldiers did he say it to obtain such a scar...omg. And also one of my favorite actresses from the Stargirl series is here ))) she is amazing :)
Holy cow I felt like I just seen a movie I’ve been waiting Hollywood to make!! Accidentally stumbled upon omeleto’s channel and have been binging the sci-fi playlist. You guys never disappoint. And the ending on this?!?! W o W
That's what I was thinking.... Hmmmm....how does something like that happen?? Is their war so damn serious they train with live rounds??!?!? That was the most unbelievable part in a movie where scars magically appear!!!
Wow one of the best short movies that I have seen. And the ending is sad but there are lessons to be learned from this film. And the music was good. I’ve been looking for the name of the song and the artist.
13:41 oh my god the leader guy (forgot his rank lol) that’s so damn sad Obviously he’s said that to so many of his men that the scar just never fully heals and reopens whenever he needs to say it again ;-;
The actors are good, I mean, I saw nothing wrong with their performance, but with a story as good as this one they could have been better! Don't get me wrong, I've never acted in anything so I don't really know squat, my problem with their performance was I didn't FEEL anything. This is a very good idea and script, I should've been 'moved' a lot more than I was. That's all I'm saying. I'm by NO MEANS bad mouthing this film, or at least trying not to!! I really liked it, just like virtually everything on this channel!! In my opinion, if it's on Omeleto, it's excellent! Everyone did a good job, I think if they stay in the acting world, they are gonna be award winning in no time.
Wow, as a veteran of 4 hostile deployments, this film hit me hard. I did not see that coming. Thank you.
I did not see it coming either
Thank you for your service. Yeah, this was an amazing film.
Thank you for your service soldier. This was the best short I’ve seen.💜
Thank you for your service. I watched the film twice in a row. Really amazing.
I've never been in a combat situation, but I was in the military, so I really appreciate this. I also didn't expect this. Amazing.
Wow. I wasn't expecting this ending; this really hit me. Such a beautiful story.
I 100% agree with you I feel the same way

Yeah didn’t someone make a writing prompt on Reddit about this
@@JohnnyHibner sure did. It was a topic in the Writing Prompts subreddit
yes absolutely ! i always remembered that one and go back to it from time to time
The production quality is insane
Yeah most of these shorts are just so well made ... its enough to blow your socks off.
The ending gave me chills. Thank You for uploading this amazing beautiful short film Omeleto.

Look at that; no scars.
It's not real...
This shows that sometimes we judge too quickly....not everything is what it seems to be.. :( the ending broke my heart
"I don't have any scars!"
_A scar appears!_
Well damn it!
This is a dark version of Pinocchio!
Damn...that hit home. R.I.P to all Soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the battlefield. F.

@@martinwebb1681 very true
@@martinwebb1681 that's right. The richness and the depth to many of these shorts, would be lost in a full length film. I love shorts for this reason.
@@martinwebb1681Yeah, I think that it has to be a short film. A big part is the twist, and I think that almost every audience member judged him at least a little.
Really good, interesting concept…I can only imagine what people would look like today walking around scarred by their own words.
Politicians would look like a bloody mess
Yes I was thinking the same thing it would probably be some hideous looking creatures out here
This short has a potential to be a full movie! It can easily be the next Divergent series. Only with better story.
Yeah Somebody needs to pick up this science fiction thriller at a movie company it would be a phenomenal movie if executed right great concept
OMG'S this is one of the most powerful films I've ever seen. Truly Brilliant!!!
Wow. Just wow. Amazing concept, good acting, and great ending! Amazing film! Thanks Omeleto.
This had me absorbed the entire time and that ending
My ex husband would have looked like someone took a ninja sword to him ..
same goes for my dad!
😂🤣 ... Yeah same with my ex wife.
I was thinking the same about my dad and ex husband too! Various ex boyfriends, co workers, …
Wow, this story literally made me cry
Hmm, I am going to be checking you for scars ... 😂
me too.
Everything about this was awesome. The actors, the story, the concept, all awesome.
One of the best films I've seen in a long time. This should be a feature film. Great job.
Wow! While I found the abrupt change in relationship between the two men and the two women to be unbelievable, the ending was very powerful.
I know this is a very late comment but this one is my favorite video. it actually made my eyes water. It was a gut punch and literally knocked the breath out of me. That's beyond heartbreaking. Well done!
Another great story, thank you!
I would pay to see more this is a great concept for a tv series... omeleto is really stepping up lately last ten videos have been five stars
Yeah me too if executed well it could become a number 1 hit series
I LOVED the storyline it was brilliant and thought provoking. I want to see 5 more directors/writers take this premise and put their own spin on it.
his back-
"my back, my back"
Who's back??!? Your back?? I don't know who's back!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
This is all so perfect it's almost like you chose your name just for this movie and comments!
Incredible, Zeller & Bagby make an amazing team and this is sublime. Thought provoking and well crafted. Totally awesome.
I knew the first time he said it, what was going on...
WOW, this was a great one.... When we tell lies to comfort.
Interesting concept, sure would test peoples grace, mercy and forgiveness 🙏
I guess there are some lies worth bleeding for
I wanted more! It really hits you in your feels.
Whenever I see Omeletto morning alerts, can usually count on intensely emotional coffee & remembered moments thru the day❤️
Yep!! I can't start my day until I've watched the morning Omeleto! This channel deserves 10M subs!!!!
This is disturbingly good.
Excellent with great ending.
The scars are in the head of a 19yr old recruit one of the reasons for veterans high suicide rates or homelessness.
As a hard of hearing person, I wish this had official subtitles. There are a few lines of dialogue I can't hear at all, like when the girl mutters something and Slick says how do you know and she replies she pays attention. CZcams's autogenerator didn't pick up anything from it.
The most moving part of the film was on the bus. This film hurt me.
Yo. Ive watched alot of these short films but this one ??? Amazing
One of the best I’ve seen! Well done!
One of the rare Omelto shorts where it has a full story/plot (not some concept piece), great intrigue, and awesome message.
Loved this! Beautiful story and can't wait to see the story evolve!
I know her from stargirl
She's Condy Burman
Didn't see that coming. Wow.
What a concept! Scars can reveal so much!
A lot of us would of lied during that time because you wouldn't want to say no you are going to die. That would be hard.
Damn .... Speachless
Ending had me in tears 😭 so beautiful
I would love this to be a series. Wow! Really great v
This one was great! Loved it.
Thank you for a great film.
1:48 Jeremy Shadaaaaaa
A gteat story. The end is simply WOW. To how many of his passed soldiers did he say it to obtain such a scar...omg. And also one of my favorite actresses from the Stargirl series is here ))) she is amazing :)
Great punch line. The way there was a little iffy, but overall a good watch.
The main girl is the baddie on Stargirl. She's really good.
Great premise for a storyline. Liked! 👍😷
One of my top five favorite shorts!
Thank you to everyone involved.
What a beautiful concept 👏👏👏
That's what my Mom used to tell when I was growing up. I think 🤔 I now have millions of scars in my body.
Asian Cultures tend to say this to people who are close to death in order to comfort them.
awesome!
Wow! What a powerful movie. I'm blow away with the creative way of dealing with it. And even the music is perfect. Oscar has nothing on this one.
Holy cow I felt like I just seen a movie I’ve been waiting Hollywood to make!! Accidentally stumbled upon omeleto’s channel and have been binging the sci-fi playlist. You guys never disappoint. And the ending on this?!?! W o W
Hey it's Cindy Burman from Stargirl! ... Still mad about the cancellation...
Fantastic.
Truly
Oh I jusr realized that’s the actress who played Grace in The Fosters and Cindy from Stargirl!
Wow. I wasn't expecting the ending. Gave me chills.
Not really using Live Ammo for that but well, good point in the end.
That's what I was thinking.... Hmmmm....how does something like that happen?? Is their war so damn serious they train with live rounds??!?!? That was the most unbelievable part in a movie where scars magically appear!!!
This was based off of a writing prompt i saw on tumblr in like 2015 lmao
Wow, powerful story
wow that ending gave me goosebumps, well done!!
Damn...I audibly gasped at that ending. I don't even have words.
This Movie Just Broke Me😢💔
Why does the movies keep getting better and better?? 💔
Absolutely fantastic, completely engrossing
This NEEDS to be a full film.
Wow one of the best short movies that I have seen. And the ending is sad but there are lessons to be learned from this film. And the music was good. I’ve been looking for the name of the song and the artist.
That was actually pretty good. Great job!!! keep up the good work Allen.
Brilliant, powerful and complete!
I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING. Great acting. I get the message. Greetings from Indonesia
Wow. So well done. I'm in tears.
As a veteran of over 20 years and seen several conflics this really hit home. Certainly triggered me? The room got a bit dusty here.
13:41 oh my god the leader guy (forgot his rank lol) that’s so damn sad
Obviously he’s said that to so many of his men that the scar just never fully heals and reopens whenever he needs to say it again ;-;
Well this could be a tv series. Great characters to build upon. Great ending. 🙂

Wow…THIS IS *GREAT* . I honestly did not see that ending coming and it was beautiful 🥺
Do you use live rounds in basic qcb training?
Metaphorically true! Excellent work
O m gosh....stunning.
JFC! hard hitting!👏
Wow..... I'm truly at awe at home much I love this and how it impacted like a rock.....
This should be a series
That hit so hard !!! Imagine if this happens in our reality !???
Live ammo in a training course where the targets are holograms? Why?
Exceptional piece of work!
This was really good. Amazing concept.
Awesome movie
This was beautiful. Cheers cherieK 🦋🌈🐿🇦🇺
