FIFTY PEOPLE ONE QUESTION - GALWAY, IRELAND 2011 by Kamil Krolak

[@10outofTenley]

"I should have started living for joy sooner"... gave me chills, really.

[@jamesward8765]

it gave me the chills too...it resonated with me the most also.

[@fiyan6368]

Yeahhh

[@Rrageshlol]

After all this years this keeps being my favorite internet moment, thanks for creating such beautiful piece of art 💙

[@user46346bdtgry]

4 years later and I was recently in Galway. Can confirm after a random happenstance at a bus stop that Jamaican Brain is bopping around Galway & happy as ever.

[@datboi3796]

He's still around in 2021, selling beautiful paintings on shop street.

[@mariad.2460]

I'm Italian, form Rome and I love your country and your people like crazy. So moving this video...thank you. Greetings from Italy.

[@canweget5ksubswithnovideos764]

Maria D. I went to Rome once It was amazing love from Ireland 😙

[@marychris9665]

Love Fellini his films have given this Irish woman so much joy Agree with last lady regrets waste of time

[@miracle696]

I really loved Ireland when I travelled there. Great people, great energy, Ireland is definitely one of my favourite places in the world.

[@logandykes8732]

"Not marrying that lass when we were in high school 50 years ago, and letting her move off to Canada. And meeting her 50 years later, and marrying her. We've been married for a year." Oh my gosh. So cute!

[@ShivaMySupreme]

Yes

[@fedegim2166]

Best answer ever.

[@katelawlor9610]

I think that was my favourite even though it's bitter sweet.

[@famousstarr12]

I watch this whenever I'm feeling down and it reminds me that no matter how often I think I'm alone that there are probably hundreds of people around the world who feel the same way or have experienced the same thing as me. You're never alone.

[@fiyan6368]

I'm Feeling the same thing right now

[@kidaz]

"Take life as it comes"... sums up the Irish attitude to life.

[@iPawk]

my biggest regret is watching too much youtube when i should be learning social skills

[@jemedemande5166]

thought you were going to say watching this clip :-)

[@DrewHaAMG]

Cheers

[@MsJohncampbell]

[@iPawk]

I'm not even being sarcastic though. A lot of the time I've spent on my PC could've been spent on loving people and gaining life skills.

[@widodomohammad8816]

you just say whats in my mind rn

[@katelawlor9610]

Don't know why this just showed up in my feed today but I love it. I realise that even though I've had far from a perfect life I regret nothing.

[@jakobjakob769]

From time to time I come back, just to see that old man smile when he tells the camera that he married the love of his life 50 years later...

[@alexanderzin]

Beautiful, watching their eyes while they actually recall all those moments

[@fiyan6368]

Yeahhh

[@fergustaekwondo]

Definitely one of the most powerful short films I've ever seen. The backdrop in Galway remind me of my student years there. The music is spot-on too!

[@pho3nix-]

I could watch an hour of this

[@mousaalharthi8575]

This video made me realize that nothing is worth the regret. Being alive and healthy is the greatest blessing God gave us.

[@Kloppsserialbottlers]

And even if you're not a person of faith, to instead wonder at the absolutely mind-boggling odds of you being here and existing at this point in the vast vast VAST depths of time.

[@EconAtheist]

The one brutally honest person: "My drinking."

[@user46346bdtgry]

What hit me was that he didn’t even have to think about it, everyone has emotional scars, but he truly lives with that regret every day. Knowing I’ll sleep indoors tonight & where my next meal will come from is something i have seriously under valued.

[@benitolonard4441]

@@user46346bdtgry Going by the comments that poor guy committed suicide not long after the video was made. Very sad.

[@AndreR10R9]

So sad

[@n3mm13]

When I saw all the pain and hurt behind that mask.. I got really emotional. (to the Empaths out there who saw this. Do you agree? It was like a knife in the heart for a second.. Horrible. So many regrets and so much pain behind those blue eyes and that nervous smile. Life is not fair. It didn't surprise me at all that he committed suicide.) To all humans who go and carry this much pain. Please say something.. If you only knew how many we are trying to find people like you before it is to late. We won't charge. We won't extort. We won't try to lure you in with false, parodical religions or other lies instituted to controlling the masses.. Our payment is your well-being. Simple as that. (We are empaths dedicated to altruism. And we are all around the world.) Love and Harmony.

[@katelawlor9610]

Fair play to him

[@tom-j2r]

As I sit here wiping tears from my eyes, my only regret is that I haven't yet moved back to the most beautiful place in the world....the west of Ireland.

[@shanegray6212]

Really makes you take a step back, great video really touching, loved it

[@margarettownsend4141]

These people are so honest and sincere. Can’t help but love them all💚

[@ceciliafraternale41]

You know what!?! There should be more videos like that. It's not a stupid, empty video with nonsense..there should be more videos like this.. :)

[@LaDollyVita33]

This moved me so much. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. Thank you for this lovely little film.

[@PurpleHaze4me]

lol, guy got married a week ago and he already regrets it.

[@cflo1386]

7:40 I feel for this guy that was a brave honest answer.

[@charles910]

I totally agree. He had the most honest answer. I think he'll be ok.

[@kimmit.o.2069]

Yes. Very forthright guy. Have to admire him for that.

[@francisohara7132]

Unfortunately he took his own life a few weeks/months after this was made. RIP

[@kimmit.o.2069]

OMG so sad!!

[@cflo1386]

Francis O'Hara That is so sad you can see his sadness and pain on his face, rip

[@Maryandhello]

That cute little man that married his love 50 years later just filled me up with so much joy.

[@fiachraswaz]

never telling the girl who i loved how i felt and watching her live her life with another. rejection is a killer for a short time, never knowing eats away for eternity

[@qwer55555555]

So very true

[@dantaylor7344]

But it old have been a proper shite relationship with you mate, take it as a narrow escape not the other way round!

[@yupisaid]

Too true

[@MigueeAlejandro]

Beautiful, really emotional.

[@Luubske]

7:39 , 2 words, but his expression tells the story. From all the stories, that one man with 2 words gave me more goosebumps than any other.

[@shanegray6212]

Way too true

[@Distortionist]

You could see the sadness in some of these peoples eyes, even when they were smiling :/

[@EIREriddick13]

You are so right

[@lizjamieson6433]

This came back up in my memories from 4 years ago. It’s still beautiful and brought a tear to my eye.

[@idolivercampos]

Oh my God, for how long hazy-eyed emotions with tears.. Thank you KamilFilms

[@biomammy]

This is the second time that I watch this clip. Just one word: BRAVO!

[@ChristopherBenson_1956]

"My drinking" would have been my answer too ... meaning all the alcohol I drank when I was younger, and the people it hurt ... including me! My last drink was 17 years ago (almost exactly: 6 September 1996). It was then that I started life, already 39 years old!

God, when this video was put on KZbin I lived on Merchants Road... I live in Germany now... This really takes me back. Galway really steals a part of your soul, though. I lived there 8 years 2008-2016.

[@jordanjewell4127]

It really made me cry When he said I wish I was 20 years younger.it made think of how fast time flys and how I haven't appreciated Ireland as much as I should have ..that's a regret.

[@fiyan6368]

Yeahh time flies

[@mariamuller433]

i really love this video! like you can see in their faces when they realise whats they're regret, they have this sadness in their eyes! this video touched me, so thank you!!

As a resident of Galway - such a beautiful tribute to the humanity of the people of Galway and the romance of Quay/Shop Street..

[@alexandrugheorghe5610]

In this very moment I'm watching this footage from a hotel in Galway after missing out on the city in order to visit various parks with my dog. Thanks for giving me a feeling of this town. While I'm very home sick at times, and while I'm in Dublin, I can't restrict myself to make peace with Ireland after seeing such footage and feeling out the awesome people I've found here. All the best!

[@joesoap81]

Yeah that blew me away I really felt for that guy.

[@louisemaxwell2097]

Lovely video, really makes one think...

[@ciaratreasaaine]

This is amazing. The look on their faces after answering the question is almost life changing.

[@eineohrfeige]

I have to say, I really like how these 50 people 1 question videos show the people walking away. For me, seeing them walk away onto the street again, into their own separate lives is sad. We never know what will happen to them in the few moments they're gone or even the next days, months, or years. I know we only heard a small piece of their lives but if you just think about where they could be wanting to go in life, how could anyone not wish them the best?

[@freakfire74]

Its perfect!

[@Thegreenandwhitearmy]

I have no overall regrets in life and have learnt to wake up every day and thank God I have woken up. A close friend was killed in a car accident, another took his own life and too many young people waste their lives drinking and fooling around. I asked Jesus into my life at age 18 and he has led me through many storms. I am not in any way perfect but that won'y stop me trying to be. God put us all here for a reason and we should appreciate what we have more instead of always wanting more.

[@linkyyay]

I watch this video from time to time now and then and I feel just as full of joy every single time. In fact I think it's the only over ten minutes long youtube video I can watch through without thinking that it's boring. It's just so beautiful.

[@ningding9448]

The old man saying he has been married with his love for one year....so sweat!

[@TalkerTube]

wow.. tough question.. people do not expect to face such question on the street

[@TheSingingCelebrant]

thought this was really sensitively done - One could see people really searching and it worked as a format

[@BrooklynAlien]

Amazing how many young people had regrets and didn't realize how young they are. So much time they still have to travel, play the guitar etc.

[@Kakivak61]

This is a brilliant piece of work. I can't remember ever watching such a short film and caring for so many people that I don't even know. I'm in tears. This is humanity. Thank you for the reminder. I will look at all the people in my life in a more compassionate way because of this

A lovely film. Mine would be not telling my father what he meant to me before he passed away.

[@missimccarthy8408]

Chris Walker - I think a lot of us can really relate to this :-(

[@vanessawilson1033]

Notice how almost everyone's regrets we're something they didn't do rather than something they did do? Theres a valuable lesson in this and it's to seize the moment, live life to the fullest extent. It's far greater to have done something and maybe regret it than to have done nothing at all and wished you had.

[@irunihikeicamp-jacquelinej8673]

Love Galway so much.. it’s my spiritual home. I lived there for years & recognised some of the faces in that video.. my biggest regret is waisting so much time in my youth and not filling my life then, with all the wonderful stuff I enjoy doing now ❤️

[@susannasullivan3426]

I feel like the lady at the end had some huge and painful regret, so that's why she preaches to not regret anything. To try and comfort herself (but who knows this is a huge assumption)

[@NancyMinion13]

"I should've started living for joy sooner" I have the same regret.

[@diegobarbosa8150]

Woool! the girl Elanine from mayo it's beautiful! I've been in Galway once very nice city

[@tangofoxtrot4603]

A simple but very powerful question, it sends the questioned back in time to recall some tough decisions, you can see this journey through their eyes, its amazing, a lot of choices we make are often the right ones but we question wrongly what if. The girl who failed to say goodbye to her grandad, is one we all should avoid, pick up the phone, make that short journey, to put a smile at the end of their journey of life.

[@meexman]

I totally agree. HE was the interesting one. So glad to see this post. Well spotted. He was by far the most courageous man there. Typical Irish hero - modest but honest in a very understated way. I am far away from home and I miss my people tonight.

Oh, Sam...That is Beautiful. That you were willing to write this for all to see, to acknowledge your humble responsibility in the loss of this (clearly special) lady - this is simultaneously empowering and tragic. I was all set to write a comment about how I was barely "touched" or moved by this well-intentioned mini-doc, how it barely scratched the surface of Humynity, and then, I read your regret, right there at the top.

Anyone who claims they have no regrets is either a sociopath or a LIAR.

[@marissaherbst5437]

That or they know that if they went back and changed their mistakes, then they would also be changing their future. I would never change anything of my past because I am proud of where I am and WHO I am today. Mistakes are things that humans learn from. We learn from our own, and others' as well. The past is the mold for the future.

[@TickleMeElmo55]

Pretty much.

[@TickleMeElmo55]

marissa herbst So if, say, someone cheats on their significant other which causes their break up and they don't have regrets that would be totally okay and admirable?

[@darryndsouza7896]

I agree with you but I think it's just a defence mechanism. Brutal to call them liars as we have no idea what they have been through. True, everyone does regret something or the other. No human is perfect.
