Los Noj Hmo - Come Eat Dinner (ENG SUBTITLE)

*Read* *Read*
A dialogue heavy short film that captures today's uncomfortable family dinners.
I dedicate this short film to my oldest brother (and all eldest siblings). The eldest most of the time, blindly paves the path for us younger siblings and we take it for granted. Lets keep in mind that no matter how far we go, we have to appreciate, thank, love, and support the trailblazers.
Nco ntsoov hlub cov laus thiab hais lus zoo rau cov ua hlob yus, vim yog tsis muaj lawv ces peb yeej tsis mus tau deb npaum li lub hom phiaj xav tseg. Txawm yuav kawm txawj thiab ntse npaum li cas los yuav tsum saib tau cov ua xub tho txoj kev rau yus taug. Ua neeg nyob yuav tsum sib hlub, sib txhawb, thiab sib pab luag thiab li yuav saib taus peb.

This short film would be even more tearjerker if the character who played the mom is much older in her 80s.

[@kouyang1412]

To my older Tou I wanna thank you bro! As the older brother you took care of us six when dad pass. You give up soccer and you're dreams to work for us and put a roof over our heads. We younger siblings never know how stress you were and yet you kept you're head up. You may think we may not see your hardwork. But thank you bro!

[@jbone920frozencity2]

This hits home. I know a ton of folks like this who doesn’t appreciate anything, it’s home when they said you didn’t graduate but u knowing yourself u sacrifice everything so the family can have it

[@rainyang9478]

I started crying when the older brother said he missed his siblings and just wanted to have dinner with them. 😭😭😭😭😭

[@touavlogs]

Me too...I miss my siblings

[@yervang695]

Omg me too 😭😭

[@nklor212]

Me too. Growing up I never had that kinda relationship with my siblings.

[@xiongche]

Omg same! 😭😭😭 Breaks my heart when you hear these things said toward in older sibling. But they just brush it off and continue on. Some times us younger siblings forget the foundation that got us to where we are.

[@YangGaona]

Me too 😭

[@ms5hinni3yang]

Had me crying with the mom and older brother. Sometimes we don't see others suffering doesn't mean they aren't. Great job

[@bambambooyaaj6239]

Why is this so on point? I'm speechless. All the comments the younger siblings made were built up resentments to their own personal problems that they chose not to fix for the better. Change starts with you. It's exhausting talking to people with that kind of mindset. I just stay silent and when the time comes, they'll mature on their own.

[@chazdi]

Solution is to just move out, suffer, and learn. That's the only way to value your parents.

[@maiyeekhang3163]

I like the fact how this video focus on an problem that we still have today within the Hmong community. Especially towards some of the Hmong GenZ generation that comes after. Thank you for portraying a very good message.

[@jenniferlee9558]

Omg never thought this would make me in tears. This short clip is award winning. This is very much like my siblings and maybe other siblings as well when it comes to their phone and dinner time.

[@YajMorey81]

This is a great film! This is how the new generation is now. Some Kids these days are so ungrateful! My heart aches for the mom & eldest son. What a tearjerker film. 😢

[@reallywasted]

"Kuv nco nco nej.. kuv xav noj ib pluag nrog nej xwb" 😭 sometimes.. that's all we ever want with our siblings. To be able to just sit down together and eat like old times when we were young. Nowadays some siblings just bring their own plate to their bedroom or elsewhere and not join the table til everyone is done.

[@hlithao5724]

That is very true good point you made there and pointed out.

[@dunnothao5342]

You guys are the best actor and actress

[@pretty2165]

Older brother - best acting!!

[@tengyang85]

Just subscribed.. my eldest SiStar sent this to our group chat.. it cuts me pretty deep cuz I am the oldest son and I had to step up when my father had abandoned us when I was 21.. the younger siblings don't understand the pain and stress.. this clip got me in tears

[@101MBV]

Watch this video over and over again. Always brings me to tears

[@truevu5966]

One cannot comprehend the love of a parent until one becomes one. And some just naturally understands and starts giving.

[@Ypxsong]

I broke down... When the big brother said i miss you guys and just wana have a meal with yall. I can relate to that..... God watch over everyone. Appreciate before it's all gone...

[@nklor212]

Me too

[@sherryxiong9519]

It’s so sad it got me in tears

[@nyabxais]

This is a lesson!!! Kids now days is like this clip. Very good job!

[@xeelor9693]

Some people will never be grateful or appreciate the hard work others do for them so they can hv it easy.

[@tongxiong436]

Tus siab heev lis os thaum pom zaj movie no.😥😥😥

[@xiongche]

Wow! Beautifully done! Being the oldest isn’t the easiest job. It’s easy to just walk away, but we don’t.

[@luethor]

Such a sad short film😭😭 It really makes me think of my mom.

[@YangGaona]

I'd kill for one more meal with my grandpa! Live today as if it's your last day. Appreciate who you still have! 😢❤️

[@maileelor3207]

Nice job and great message ❤️. The older brother make me tears up because I lost my father at the age of 15 but I’m grateful to have older brothers and sis who love and care for me and take care of me as a mother and father role. I have a older brother who reminds me that even my father is not here he is my father and will love me as long as he is still alive. My siblings we are all grown and busy we never have time for each other so when we all come together we make sure everyone is there to sit at the table and eat as a family.

[@mayseeyang5953]

So true... The other day I told my 13 year old daughter that I love her and her respond was.. eeewww mom... That's so cringy.. I remember when I was her world. She wanted to be with me all the time. Hugs and kisses and now just like these people in this clip.. all ungrateful!!! One day they will have their own children and then they will learn what love really is.

[@ImSoKhou]

I am worried that day will come soon for my daughter. She’s 10 now and she’s always with me. She tells me I’m her best friend, always ask me if we could go on “mother and daughter” days, asking me to go outside to play with her. She is the baby and I’ll admit, I do baby her a lot. I tell her sometimes that when she is older, she’s going to want nothing to do with me. She assured me otherwise but we’ll see.

[@NkaujVaaj]

Thank you for making this video..

[@zeexiong9404]

Thank you for sharing this intimate short video. The ending made me cry. It’s hard, every sibling has their own view and everyone can be selfish in their own way. Mothers can really take the Brunt of things when the father leaves. Thank you again for sharing

That's why you can't love them too much because they will take you for granted. Best to take care of yourself first.

[@decapasane]

This was a great and beautiful short film. Everyone definitely did a good job acting. Definitely made me she'd a tear.

[@gracevang03]

Omg I love the song 🥺🥺

[@nklor212]

Wow this is very strong. Made me cry.

I like Xeeb. He's a great actor.

Nice short lesson film. That song at the end is 😭😭😭

[@meileevaj]

Love each other. I wished I had more siblings to enjoy dinner with. It’s just me and my sister and she lives so far away. Thankful for my hubby’s brothers. They are the brothers I don’t have.

[@tvue2322]

Amazing acting from the older brother!

[@trustkuvxwb]

Wow....great drama. Soo right about this gen. Their only friend is their 2x4 friend. Keep it up the good work! Love it.

Valuable lesson. Love your parents before one day it'll be too late.

[@ongxiong3960]

Dinner together keeps a family strong. My father and mother always made sure we had our meals together at the table always while growing up. Sure keep us all closer. Always love a big meal qith the family.

[@nkaujhnubxyooj8409]

😢❤️ You guys did an amazing job! Loved it! It made me cried. 😭😭😭 It really showed how some of the new generation now is and doesn’t realize how hard it was for the older generation to go through and sacrifice for the new generation to exist here in America. I hope that this video will touch those new generation to rethink and love their older siblings and parents who had to go through the same situation as this mother and older son. Thanks for the short film. ❤️

[@ShengandKenji0406]

Great job! No matter how much siblings dislike or hate eachother in the present, in the future, siblings will learn how to appreciate each other, especially when one is at his or her lowest in life.

[@hmonggirlygirl]

Very nice point just wish to see an older mom to really fit the story

[@EvolutionT4R]

So true nowadays, i miss the 90’s

[@rickythao1716]

I just want to cry remind me my mom I wish everything will be normal..

Got me hating on those ungrateful siblings lmao~ good job on the acting

[@evoixmr8426]

Lack of parenting. For some who lost their parents at a young age doesnt know how to become a parent because they were grown without one. For some that always yell at their kids will one day get yelled at from their kids. Its all how to teach them. As Asians, we grow as a family and as a community. As a parent, you can also grow to start to make them independent.

[@shouayang8030]

Totally agree 👍

[@hmoob-dab-tsi7572]

That’s so bias and untrue. If that were true how come theres kids with both parent aren’t successful and aren’t good parents. I think it just depends on the person

[@evoixmr8426]

@@hmoob-dab-tsi7572 You're just brought up different. I've seen families like this because both parents goes to work 1st and 2nd shifts and sometimes double shifts just to put food on the table. KIDS needs their parents or they will become parentless and not parent-liable. They will become brats or jealousy because one does more work than the other, and it becomes a battle ground. PARENTS have to treat everyone EQUAL or they will start to rebel. Your answer is unrelated to this clip and bias

[@hmoob-dab-tsi7572]

@@evoixmr8426 you are right. My father and mother split when I was 7 years. like a typical single mother, my mom didn’t work. I grew up without a father. Life was hard but I found my own way. So like I said, you don’t matter if you have both parents. Like me, I owe my father nothing but a thank you for giving me life.

[@evoixmr8426]

@@hmoob-dab-tsi7572 Under every circumstances, it's up to you weather you want to succeed or not. People will talk behind your back. People will test to see if you will end up like your parents. People will always fear you because they're afraid you'll steal from them. Im not saying nothing bad about your single mother who didnt work. Even there's under the table work that could be done. But nonetheless, if I had kids and not work to support for the family, then I am giving up on them as well. A true love for your kids, mean you will do anything for them. God gave you life, thank HIM first, not your Dad.

I thought this was going to be a comedy skit, but turn out to be a life lesson skit. Wow. Sad. Thanks.

[@TheAnimeAfro]

Truuueee. We live in America where negative forces are in a different form than what we Hmoob are used to so we don't know how to deal with them especially when we don't know our words anymore. Everyday we think life is just life but its actually trying to survive from pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, lust, and gluttony. The mom actually displayed it very well, my mom was the same to us too. She taught us to overcome evil through good effort instead of forcing us to do something we don't want to do and it helped, the older brother saw through and spoke up. He sacrificed himself to display the evil they were possed by. Thank you for the video and good luck to everyone's families. - Hnubqubci Vwj

We lost our mum almost 8 years ago and our family hasn't been the same since. Its so hard for my siblings to want to come together for one meal. Some words were said especially towards me but I've learnt to forgive and forget as life is too short to hold grudges but try my best to ask my family to come together for one meal. This made me cry so much and I know if I was to share it with them, they won't even care.
