Fifty People, One Question: London

What might happen when we venture far from home now? Will we find that London light around the corner? Will the rain hide all the dreamers out of sight? They might not want to play our little game this time - or we could look away and miss our chance. Or maybe just a bit of something out there will remind us why we take the time to ask.
It's a simple question and the answers can lead us anywhere. So go ahead, ask yourself
Visit fiftypeopleonquestion.com and post your response.
We also asked this question in Brooklyn, NY - fiftypeopleonequestion.com/locations/3-brooklyn-ny

[@upularFTW]

I watched this video when it was uploaded and come back to it every few years. I always wonder what happened to them all, some might be dead and others might be living their dreams. It makes me think about how time passes and there's nothing you can do about it. It feels like yesterday when I was watching this for the first time in 2009, and now it's 13 years on.

[@gari_uk]

Same now in 2023 - it's probably my most favourite thing on the entire internet!

[@serran765]

Beautiful. Can't believe I've gone without seeing this video for so long.

[@edmundpower1250]

Watch it again

[@cefanine]

It makes me realize that these simple questions that we never ever think about can say so much about ourselves...it's very nice!

[@sunspirt]

"where would you like to wake up?" "Alive" - that response gave me the chills

[@BakaNeBaka]

I wish I could get this lovely background music... The violin pierced right through to my heart....

[@visakanv]

You know, I think we should all go around and ask other people these questions. You get the sense that they're thankful for being asked. We could make the world a more beautiful place, all of us together.

[@theboyjonno]

beautiful film, thank you

[@edmundpower1250]

😊

[@pierrealejandrochacon7154]

I was about to say make the same comment. So serene, and her answer sounds so warm! Love it.

[@Aspekitteh]

I find it nice how in a dark alleyway in Central London on a cool day, you ask questions, and you can see in thier eyes the hope they have. It makes me wonder where and how they are now.

[@fionaazreal]

They each left with a smile. I like that. Made me smile too.

[@samrachproductions]

in paradise, no worries, limitless free for living

[@Thoorgee]

I love love love that very last scene. It's magical

[@michaelritchie200]

This is gorgeous. I love the amount of people happy to stay where they are.

[@LuciaMoktez]

@KamilFilms I saw that one, and it is the one that has inspired me the most to write about it, and to live writing. You did and amazing and beautiful job KamilFilms.

[@TylerChristine32]

This video helped me discover Chaz Knapp.. I love this video.

[@white_clover767]

Me too

[@luke0812red]

Don't know why I like these video's so much such a simple concept but they always make me smile :)

[@visakanv]

I do see where you're coming from. I do admire his passion. That said, I dare say that a century from now, people will look back on this century as a time of glory, honour, courage and excitement. We tend to look backwards and forwards with rose-tinted glasses, while we focus on the flaws and negatives of the present.

[@lilbitmicaela]

these question i ask my self quite often ,, thank you. i know now im not alone and that others feel the same. you should come to millard, Nebraska!

[@sagas001]

at 4:22 wow...I think a lot of people can relate. great videos by the way, music choice is always perfect...thank you for the smiles.

[@kittymyne]

Even years later I find myself thinking about the people in this video - particularly the woman at 3:44. I wonder if she ever found a place to call home.

[@thedeltreedotcom]

Me too. Thank you. :)

[@Semedar]

I found and looked through a really old hard drive I had in a box and hooked it up to my computer. I found my Opera browser favorites file that I backed up. I saw the link to fiftypeopleonequestion dot com and it brought me to this video. I specifically remembered that woman at 3:44 before the video even started playing as well as the guy at 5:08 wondering if he's found a little bit more paradise. He had the best answer imo :)

[@MichealAEdwards]

I hope she found her comfortable bed on mars

[@white_clover767]

Me too

[@papersamuel]

5:08 is the best answer "Paradise"

[@jcqwater8713]

'probably to my own bed but not necessarily alone' - its been a decade since I watch this and I still remember this answer, I pray to God that in His perfect time, He will lead me to my husband, a Godly man, the one He chose for me, In Jesus Name i pray Amen

[@tweakiepop]

I like seeing the flush of unshackled thought that flashes across their faces that takes them to a place they would want to be. It's like they've been given an unexpected gift.

[@destroyerdreams]

I think I'm in love with every single person who appears in this video... Seriously.

[@yesimdyinginside]

i cannot stop watching this

[@packetmonstr]

The man at the beginning of the video, his response hit me the hardest. He has someone, that everyday, he wants to wake up next to...

[@danieljohnsonfilms]

beautiful film!

[@XephyrQ]

On my wedding day 25 years ago so I could relive all the good days and fix all the bad ones....

[@flyingfisbeefilms]

Gotta love you tube - this is proof of film making ability, talent and a wonderful subject.

[@aikighost]

Love this video and Ive got to say that the girl who first appears at 1:40 in the video is possibly the prettiest woman I've ever seen such a natural beauty.

[@BakaNeBaka]

@destroyerdreams MUCH LOVE

[@beebeeemm]

Everyone's response is so interesting... and the filming is great.

[@barbwired10]

"in my own bed, but not necessarily alone", nice one!!

[@MarettDagum]

I like the answer of the man at 5:10 most because it is most unexpected for me and there is this spark in his eyes that you can tell he is imagining the place and that he likes what he sees in his head.

[@Juli5able]

lots of happy ! everyone in my city would start to dream on about money, fortune and paradise!

[@Sarah10000]

I agree with this 110%!!!!

[@JahazielCastillo]

These videos are paradise.

[@MrJoystickid]

I'd like to wake up 12 years ago when I was 18 but with the knowledge, experience and memories I have now. I'm in a good place now but just think of what you could have done.

[@deathdragonslayer1]

i'd wake up to my last day and have heart to heart talks with my loved ones so that there would be no regrets in their lives.

[@Clone56]

Both videos I smiled at the end not even realising it. Thats something to be damn proud of cause im sure im not the only one

[@ecrawl032753]

Paradise. Favorite Answer.

[@FiftyPeopleOneQuestion]

Thank you. We've actually been asked several times to come to Chicago. (Would be fun! :) )

[@fiyan6368]

Man time flies

[@79milkandhoney]

If he was still single I would marry the first guy

[@ZomgieBec]

[@edmundpower1250]

[@ifilthyouth]

Love it! Please find time to come to me in Orange County, California. I promise you'll get very interesting answers from the people here. Definetly let me know if youll be coming here anytime soon :]

[@47waiting4u]

when i saw this video i observed the people's reactions they had like a subtle feeling in their eyes i guess they are happy that a completely strange human being cares for them. "A surge of love, an urge to help mankind overcomes her"

[@Frank_Atlas]

I love these I've seen every one. Very thought provoking question. 5/5. hope you come to Chicago one day haha

[@86devilheadz]

I would want to wake up .. Anywhere warm and happy, I love happy, I love warm but, I was diagnosed with insomnia in 2002 .. So this is a really tough question for me to answer .. I guess, for me it would be "if " I could fall asleep tonight .. And my answer would simply be ,, Heaven. =)

[@omarm-510]

This video is better its more inspiring and cheerful then the regret one.

[@LegionSevenLikeTheNumber]

pink bubble guy and mysterious don juan made this the best thing i've ever watched

[@r0m0n69]

what can I say - Great filming, nice sound and tune + super idea = Good job :)

[@mn7164]

the woman at 5:41 is stunning she looks so serene!!

[@LotesseElfin]

The answer is really simple. Right here, at this time.

[@manan007]

the last one! "...., not necessarily alone"? thank you.

[@abojangles404]

If i knew a way to live through it, i would wake up in the most beautiful place in the universe. Whether it be on an unknown exotic planet, a dynamic formation in the subatomic universe, or in the imagination of the most colorful artist...that would be wild. Don't think i could stay though. Family ties are just too strong.

[@Sammydo2008]

what beautiful people.

[@mab92mab92]

the first kid, he knows whats good

[@cosminre]

Where would you want to wake up? Right here, as somone can go in almost any place he sets his mind too and it’s more fun to enjoy the journey not just the destination!

[@BethanyGraceHolmes]

In Aberdeen with the person I love the most, or wherever he chooses to be

[@Nistadme1]

Omg yes the Pink bubble man, #thatkidbehindpinkbubbleman #imaketoouselesshasstagssometimessoyoucanjustdealwithiteverytimeimakeoneofthese

[@TD-jt5ow]

Hahahaha, my thoughts personified

[@kittycats517]

my favorite comment was the man who said Paradise. that is what i would have said. the kind of Paradise were lions lay down with lambs, beautiful flowers, beautiful fields, everyone happy....where if you want to see God or Jesus Christ you know where to find them. thank you for such a thought provoking movie. i think we all want the same thing. to love and be loved.

[@blong1998]

I like David from London's smile.

[@HPBgirl]

I like these videos, thinking what would be my answer, watching listening those other people giving their honest answer. But this time my own answer depressed me. When they ask this question and your answer is something impossible to gain, it makes you sad. But there're just these few answers that aren't hard to reach but knowing that's what you want, still depresses you, y'know? A lot of people, or rather everyone, probably understands that at such a moment you'd wish you could say"my own bed"

[@Omarv8power]

@nikkijaneallison im here for you nikkijane!!! smile and i hope your life gets better!!

[@DasGreenCow]

September 28, 2009. I would find myself and tell simply say "Wait."

[@reluctantlydancing]

I, personally, would want to wake up….far away. Somewhere sunny. Maybe some distant planet, a far off star, surrounded by the quiet, and unfamiliar stars, with the whole Universe in my grasp. Maybe somewhere by the ocean. Somewhere peaceful and calm and eternal.

[@jayouter]

Beautiful

[@destroyerdreams]

@AkynAkshay The song that everyone is looking for, the one that mixes up the violin and the piano, it's "Célébration à une Nouvelle Vie", by Chaz Knapp... And it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard...

[@CamilleonProductions]

3:58 lol, those parents are watching so intently for that kid's answer.

[@hamesjargreaves]

This video is awesome! I'd love to have a go at making something like this :) Also the pink bubble above the clouds filled ping pong balls man is are the best!!!!

[@Unfuckers]

Damn, I want to wake up in the place where I'll feel belonged and needed. I guess everybody just looks forward waking up where they feel happy.

[@theravendemon]

I want to wake up anywhere but here and know things are going to be alright, and then maybe I'll come back someday to fix 'here' up.

[@peaceinthemiddleast1]

I love the pink bubbles guy.

[@47waiting4u]

the smile at 2.26 made my day :)

[@smartercat]

In my own house, 17 years ago. So I could meet my mother.

Best answer!!

@erincaroline I m sorry erincaroline I send u a big hug!!! and all my love!!!!!!!

[@The_Daily_Tomato]

If you're lucky you can be a millionare but i was talking about glory, honor etc. To be remembered because you did something extrodinary, saved lives, fought in a great war, cured something or made a new and revalutionary technology. Lot of people can get rich giving the right opertunities but money is just a shadow of life that does not last and will fade away into history like most people have.
