I DO | Omeleto

[@therealJamieJoy]

I love the concept of the men in the protagonist's life are the ones standing up for the woman, and the ones who are helping and guiding the man sincerely. This was so well-written. Excellent dialogue.

[@Not_Always]

"Your wife is a wonderful woman." Truly inspiring.

[@jmurdock8303]

It's his conscience giving him advice. Wow how you didn't get that?

[@therealJamieJoy]

@@jmurdock8303 Yes, I understand that he is not literally seeing these people, but in his mind's eye. What is unexpected is that he turns to his male ancestors and close friends rather than his mother or his wife. We are used to seeing other men in films approving of sexual prowess, not holding a man accountable. This is a fresh take on an old trope.

It felt like I knew the main character intimately, that's impressive for such a short amount of time. There are so many intense moments, and you guys approached it intelligently putting a ton of emotion into it. I loved it enough that I've watched 3 times now and I'm likely not done there!

[@MobileFilmmaking]

I love this. I have to show this to my wife. No one's marriage is perfect.. but at least for me... it's not worth losing her for a pretty face and body. She's gorgeous herself and we've built quite a nice life together. From the projects in Queens to owning a home and an acre of land... this is who I was meant to be with. It took me awhile to learn these lessons because I've had soooooo many women in my life, probably the reason God gave me daughters... lol.

[@Not_Always]

No marriage is perfect but not every marriage is worth staying in.

[@jackidezell3401]

I have an ex that I was considering getting back with, he was there for me during a day of hardship,. Then a couple weeks later while I'm still reeling from this hardship. He went and took a woman I never heard of on a personal and relaxing date. I said I was falling for you again, but there will ALWAYS be women around you. I want a man who has guy friends who are good, but I'm his best friend. But in this case I'll always be second to other women. I said this, and he said he felt controlled. That says it ALL. Congrats on you man for being a good husband, and not destroying someone you're supposed to love.

Ok for you it's not worth losing your wife for a pretty face, for an unhappy man it's not even a matter of a pretty face you know, it's about wanting to end a marriage that's not working anymore. I'm a woman and I know that many men do not cheat just 'cause they're a**holes, but because they no longer feel loved and appreciated.

[@pfb74]

The "I do" at the end gave me chills. This was very insightful. Nice work Mr. Derrick. And great piece Mr. Corey👩🏾‍🍳💋

I absolutely loved this video. Perhaps my favorite Omeletto ever! So well written, directed, acted and filmed. So precise and compact with ethical concepts. "Temptation is the opportunity to do the right thing." The empathetic, emotional and various perspectives of the men in his life were wonderful without being preachy. The "I do" at the end was a brilliant touch. The only thing that I would have liked to have seen was how he got out of the delicate situation with the beautiful and overly🎉🎉 seductive woman without being mean, but firm and confident. Bravo to every member of the film, film crew and staff!!!!!

[@mbgrafix]

Marriage is not a contract It is a covenant! Love is not about satisfying your wants, needs and desires, It's about sacrificing them, so that you can put the wants, needs and desires of your spouse ahead of your own.

[@MrAroone]

"Love is not about satisfying your wants, needs and desires, It's about sacrificing them, so that you can put the wants, needs and desires of your spouse ahead of your own." Be careful not to fell prey of a narcissist who can exploit your idealized vision of marriage. You are free to think that, but there are alternatives to this description of marriage which is a social norm that is supposed to serve a purpose. By the way the concept of marriage until death was put in place in a world were people would easily die (war, famine, giving birth etc...) and in rural areas with little opportunities. It was also an instrument to build links between families. The concept of "marriage of love" was mainly bourgeoisie romantic literature (for nobles it was even worse, daugthers and sons were tools for alliances). And in the working class, marriage was more a way to make sure people can make love with God's approval. Today, we live mainly in cities with life expectancies of 70 to 80 years surrounded by thousands of people and in a society were individualism is almost a cult (while collectivism is no longer the norm). So, times have change. We are struggling to adpat the idealized concept of "marriage of love" with the harsh reality.

[@Prizzy999]

Thing is, when you get to the stage where you need all these "characters" to come up and tell you what's right or wrong to do, that means you've made up your mind already, and nothing really works at that point. Ok he's not gonna sleep with that woman but there'll be another one, even two or three or even more, and it'll happen because he's not longer happy with the woman he's with, and their marriage is not gonna last anyway. It's true that men usually cheat for different reasons from women, but there's also men who cheat because they're unhappy and want out. And they're more than we think.

[@PureRythm]

Although this Film depicts a man's situation, I think it goes both ways. Like Women cheat too. And a lot. Not like I am comparing, cheating is cheating, but it had me question, What happens when a person falls this deep into something, that coming back is inevitable? (at some point) Where did it go wrong? Choosing the wrong partner, wrong lifestyle, or was it the character?
