THE SHOOTING STAR SALESMAN | Omeleto

[@anthonyb7571]

In my opinion, the man was a reflection of himself as the kid... and when people stopped believing, the man lost faith, and he became old. His child-like self had enough faith to restore his youth. Very beautiful story... had me in tears at the end.

adults mess evrything up . 2010 i was getting godoa t video game i knew it was esports gonna get big but my hating ass doubtful of me mother made me abandon gaming cuz she would yell to me a lot. My mother is my biggest hater.

[@daisi4925]

It was a lovely story

[@McCookieParty]

I hadn't thought of it that way 🥺 now you got me in tears .. but that's not entirely bad.

[@briteeyes2133]

We are the arbiteators of our own future. You put too much stock in your mothers actions. Think positive about what YOU CAN do. Don't keep believing she stopped you, Start believing you can do it. FAITH. ​@chekoisowned

Lovely interpretation

[@akavitsuma]

Anyone notice how effortlessly he sings the tongue twister? I think that’s the best version I ever heard: What a to-do What a to-do to die today at a minute or two ‘til two. A thing distinctly hard to say, but harder still to do. For they’ll beat a tattoo at twenty ‘til two, A rat-a-tat-tat-a-tat-tat-a-tat-too, And the dragon will come when he hears the drum At a minute or two ‘til two today, At a minute or two ‘til two.

I've never heard that one before & oddly I didn't really "hear" it in the video. But I went back to the very beginning & there it was. Yes, he did it effortlessly.

[@bluedamsel1185]

A good old fashioned fantasy story that delivers magic beautifully.

[@lindakovacs7904]

Right now the world needs the hope that you have and wishes for peace and kindness , love and empathy just as this child was a believer in for all. A wonderful and amazing story of that hope . Thank you for such creative work of the art you have shared. It has lifted me up...bless you

[@jdmayfield88]

Truely beautiful. The young man wished to have a dad again. The old man wished to have a son again. They both wished for someone to believe in them. And their faith brought them all of these. One could argue this as conjecture, yet certainly it appears to implied. Strongly. Even faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains.

[@felipelotas5609]

Thanks for ths tiny overdose of magic...World really needs more of this right now.

[@TamTran-vw7zm]

You made me cry for what goes missing in our lives as we age. I wish we all got it back somehow... well done, you.

Wow! I do believe this is my new FAVORITE! Beautiful story, so heartwarming! This tale could be a full feature film! Superb acting! Superb story writing, Great filming, Everything about it was well done! Just beautiful! ❤❤❤

[@esahcaeeneiradgbo2464]

[@LadyValkyri]

Bravissimo to all! Well done! Applause all around. I've loved Jason Gedrick since Bad Boys, so to see him again was terrific. Elijah and Yancy, WOW! Great work by everyone involved. Hugs

[@johnbowman1076]

Aside from everything else that's wonderful here... you gotta love that kid. Every place I've lived seems to have a lonely but inquizitive boy. A young idealist with a castle made of boxes.

[@woodstoney]

Often it takes the heart of a child to see the hidden truths, in ourselves and in others... Nicely done!

[@ricardocarmona5210]

So he was magic & when people stopped believing he started to fade away.

[@cahidijoyoraharjo7833]

I thought it was the wishes those people made which gave him youth. That's kinda like Wonder Woman 1984's plot!

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

The tone was exquisitely conveyed; the casting was impeccable; the acting spot on and believable. I do wonder whether he ever gets paid for his services. And if he's been so successful for so long, how could he lose faith? But overall, fantastic job!

[@jivanvasant]

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND The Point: You either grow in connectedness (consciousness) with everything in the Universe or you perish. Zoe Martin and Elijah both totally believed that the Miracle Machine would work, but the Salesman did not fully believe. Young Elijah believed his absent father would return, but the loner Salesman believed otherwise. Elijah was, according to the Books of Kings in the Hebrew Bible, a prophet and a miracle worker who lived in the northern kingdom of Israel during the reign of King Ahab.

[@cahidijoyoraharjo7833]

I was just thinking, our modern society just won't allow this kind of salesman. So many scammers out there and TikTok showing us how scary this world can be with scammers. If this salesman showed up at my door, he's ringing off all the scammer alerts in my head

[@InvasionAnimation]

This was good, but It worries me that all those people can wish for stuff with no draw backs. What if one of them wishes it were possible to swim right after eating and be fine. It would be chaos!

I see this as the director telling the salesman “play it like Christopher Walken would play Bill Cosby” Salesman: “if you believe it’ll work” Kid: “Oh” Salesman: “Righhhht” The Lord: “it’s the Lord, Noah” Noah: “Righhhht”
