West Bank Story - The Musical (Full Version) [CC]

[@Frost-zg2ef]

My ap world teacher showed us this the day after our exam this past may. This needs to be seen more especially after recent events.

[@abigailpidazo9704]

I came back here after remembering my Sophomore world history class - nearly a decade ago…

[@xstraightedgechrisx]

My social studies teacher showed us this in our world history class to teach us about the Israel-Palestine conflict

[@steve41557]

This Film Won the Short Film Academy Award

[@steve41557]

at the 79th Academy Awards, it won the Oscar in the category Best Live Action Short Film.

[@iDoitRandomly]

Still one of the best short filma that I have ever seen... every dialogue is very insightful

[@GirlGolden4]

Considering all the horrible things going on now, it’s sad that we probably won’t see another film like this for a while, if ever…glad this film was made! I remember seeing this back in the day when I was a teen. 😁🙏🏽💯

[@dexterwagmeister3848]

I bought this movie back in 2005…. It’s so good!!

[@sanfranciscobay]

7:55 "Anytime you want it, I'll give it to you. Hummus, I mean,"

[@romeyjondorf]

I actually missed that until I saw your comment. That made me burst out loud 😂

[@dakaraiburnett9541]

Very great short film! I loved it!

[@gussiegood8700]

Saw the academy award short at the time and have wanted to see the full short ever since. I am loving it!

[@niccage6375]

A movie inspired by west side story, which is inspired by romeo and juliet, which was inspired by a greek myth. 4 layers of inspiration

[@kittymorgan9783]

LOVE THIS FILM!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@mfelix3511]

It's so fucking nuts that this got past planning stages, one of the most unhinged moments in TV history

[@MerhlinsPlace]

Love, Love, LOVE it. A great message delivered with self-deprecating humor. Bravo! Needs to go viral.

[@multifanderisverycrafty]

Yes.

[@maya2012mayaa]

Peace begins with a smile :)

[@khaledgee]

Hala Halabiya u right. But let those pigs stop killing children

[@Dotgovin]

Dear filmmaker, I have loved this film for many years. THANK YOU. SHUKRAN JAZEELAN. TODAH RABAH.

[@TheGedByrne]

I've seen about 2 minutes and I applaud and love this already :)

[@Canard712]

I loved the similarity of both sides that (it seems) neither side can recognize. Clearly only love is strong enough to break through the barriers of hate.

[@multifanderisverycrafty]

Exactly!

[@lucasconde2407]

I saw this in social studies

[@josephincarnate]

same

[@maddendigitalart4287]

Me too lol

[@taylorswiftsucks]

Lucas Conde me too

[@multifanderisverycrafty]

Watched it in Hebrew school

[@LuisYoshuaLopez9]

For years I have pryed for mutyal spiritual understanding between both sides. We use the more ancient word/vibration Kodoish instead of Kadosh so that it sinks in to both people since we are cousins. Shalom.

[@multifanderisverycrafty]

I pray for peace as well

[@chongamira8439]

I really loves this short film. The message of it is so cool and meaningful.

[@multifanderisverycrafty]

Exactly! I wish people could just try to make a deal or compromise!

[@Nintend0n]

My film teacher made us watch this when I was a junior in high school hahah

[@michaelschwartz4480]

If only Leonard Bernstein was alive to see this! Incredible! Great production, parody and I think better than the original. Yeah, I've spent time in the very modern Israel.

[@nas4375]

Simply brilliant.

[@xstraightedgechrisx]

Still one of my favorite short films, and still very relevant today.

[@Etombayambo]

A wonderful masterpiece of the short film. I love it

[@gabrielawilensky1697]

So spectacular!!!! Great short!!!!!

[@luvread]

"Let me come to your balcony tonight to annoy your parents and neighbors by singing you a really overdramatic song about feelings and love" XD

[@williamearljarrett9739]

Bravo excellent work by all.. I love your film.

[@Tuilelen]

This should have more views

[@themagicrevealer1]

I saw this at my camp. Now I can see it again!

[@noho5903]

Very good...it's funny every single time I watch it. Good job guys.

[@AndreaAltgayer]

BRILLIANT!

[@flowerboyalexi5200]

My first thought: This is amazing My second thought: David really reminds me of Max Schneider

[@tinkywinky9087]

No no no. You are *NOT* about to drag the good name of Burger King and Pizza Hut through the mud!

[@multifanderisverycrafty]

Okay, but what about the rest of the movie?

[@nancyparish-plass1814]

Brilliant!

[@WaldoWally]

To Americans this is a funny feel-good movie but I have doubts about its efficacy for peacemaking. I imagine it's very belittling to the men and women who've experienced great loss and trauma as a result of this conflict. The equivalent would be if English university students did a lighthearted song and dance number about the Trail of Tears or the Ferguson riots.

[@norahsaneth]

Walter Brynjolfson So true!!

[@bayoolatunji3996]

But comedy is a way to deal with reality’s like this

[@ejmorin7338]

That's what I was wondering. Although from what was said in the description, it looks like it has had an overwhelmingly positive reception on both sides.

[@stellamaris9172]

I hear what you're saying, but it's not a true equivalency because this isn't about a specific tragedy(such as the Trail of Tears or a massacre or terrorist attack), it's about the ongoing, entrenched hostility and prejudice between people who are neighbors. And yeah, comedy is one way to break the ice on that.

[@romeyjondorf]

As a Zionist Jew, this song makes me tear up. I also know Palestinians who love this film as well

[@osufan002]

Had to dissect this film for my Script Writing class Final. Great video haha

[@flyingfisbeefilms]

Gosh what a triumph of a film!!!!!!! WOW!

[@afritzy4204]

Thank you for sharing this, it was funny, and I enjoy this much, and it is true we should put our differences aside regardless of our races.

[@JoDeKeCh]

It's about religions.

[@multifanderisverycrafty]

@@JoDeKeCh please do research. It’s not about races.

[@ArtsyChick24]

I'm sorry (and as an American I feel bad for laughing) but this is hilarious

[@Shira-Tamir]

EyeOfTheLauren Feel bad? The entire point of making this film was to express both sides of the story in a way that will get people's attention and make them laugh. :)

[@multifanderisverycrafty]

So relevant.

[@lynncai587]

funny and historical even when there were awkward moments

[@erickchavarria2024]

brilliant!

[@IlakkiyaveliTv]

very nice movie

[@dan69052]

still true today great flick.

[@andreakrimberg4659]

Fabulous! It should win an academy award for short film! Very cute and also politically relevant!

[@burtihal]

It did!

[@jonnyflores2741]

What's it called when the guy from humus hut starts singing all majestic

[@hackfresse8518]

I really like the film and I think it is fun to watch. I felt entertained.

[@yewzhenpang3282]

see this during my cinematography lesson

[@Alt3ran]

VERY CUTE!!

[@pamparam4637]

Beverly Hills, that's when I want to be :)

[@sanfranciscobay]

Where is the free online high definition video of this? I'm seeing it in low grade 240p.

[@360rahma]

Lovely! Very cheesy but I enjoyed it a lot! Nd hey, we(Muslims nd Jews) live in harmony here in Ohio too :D, very comedic way to portray the stupid feud between these two distant families

[@multifanderisverycrafty]

Amen! (From a Jew)

[@romeyjondorf]

I second that (as a Jew).

[@Etombayambo]

Amazing!

[@RXDONLINE]

if only the problem was humus and felafel... no matter what your views are, lets hope for peace people!

[@multifanderisverycrafty]

Agree!

[@liliavishnu564]

hhhh.....it 's just a dream ,a good one in fact !

[@lesliealvarez6958]

It was the first type of film to present for an international conference UN; there was controversy but people said it was funny

[@ТамараАмирова-л8н]

Amazing,this is like a parody on film David and Fatima.I laugh a lot!!I surprised why they are kissing,why she is without scarf,if it was,film be more close to reality.But nevertheless thanks so much!I think we must joke more to soft our hearts,joke only good jokes,like this!

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

It's not muslims vs jews, it's Palestinians vs Israelis

Exactly

Were the palestinians played by palestinian actors? I'd be shocked if so.

This reminds me of a similar film about South Africa? You know how there used to be separation and everything? But there was no problem really, black and white south africans just didn't know how to get along. Apartheid was just in their minds innit.
