The fact that the film doesn’t have any dialogue between the characters requires more attention to details and it’s a really nice idea. The film also sends an incredible message to everyone who sees it. It’s about racism and disrespect to the different/strangers and how important it’s to learn to live together in diversity.

The silence in the film is golden. It's amazing how without usung any words the film speaks a lot. This situation it's very sad (because it happens nowadays). Sadly the hate speech is rising in society and situations like this one are happening more frequently. I believe the position that all we should take is when for the example: They help each other, despite their differences

Amazing work, really interesting. This film made me realize how much hate our society shares everyday. Even though it has no dialogue between the characters, the film gives us a complete sense of prejudice and racism, people hating each other because of their different cultures. I also loved the soudtrack and the subway sound effects. Well done!

Religious intolerance is unacceptable and the film was able to deal with the theme using only visual and sound elements (highlighting the star of David and the music of the cell phone), without any dialogue between the characters, which leaves the viewer more involved and apprehensive . This is a great movie to reflect on the reality we live in.

To reply somebody who asked the question I'll explain what's going on. The middle eastern guy who's in the train looks suspiciously at the caucasian guy and vice versa. They are naturally suspicious of each other. The caucasian has a Star of David worn around his neck indicative that he is Jewish. He feels uneasy with the middle easterner staring at him and discreetly slides his star of david pendant under his jumper. Then the skin heads enter the tube (they are racists) and on encountering the middle eastern guy, proceed to intimidate him, without using words - by staring him down, spraying his newspaper with wet paint, and one skinhead places his foot on the seat between the legs of the middle easterner. The caucasian looks on, anxious and not seeming to want trouble for the middle easterner. Then, the caucasians mobile phone rings. The tune is Hava Nagila, a Jewish traditional folk song. Immediately, the focus of the skinheads shift to this caucasian, who they now learn is a Jew. One of the skinheads move towards him, while the Jew and the middle easterner begin to exchange glances, in cahoots with each other. They run out of the tube at the next stop in hot pursuit of the skin heads, and escape just in time. They exchange rucksacks possibly to cause a diversion and once they are free, they exchange rucksacks again.

Just few corrections. Jews, same as Arabs, are Semites. So no ,the Jew wasn't caucasian. Additionally the Arab guy was reading Palestinian paper, so it adds something to their personal prejudices towards each otcher - Israeli-Palestinian conflict. At the end they both faced people who happened to have prejudices to both groups and the common enemy united them. Even though film tries to say somewhere between the lines that Israeli/Jews and Palestinian/Muslim have something in common, that they are normal people I still find it sad that only the common enemy let them see it through. Also Erez Tadmor & Guy Nattiv have few projects illustrating this Israeli-Palestinian conflict, like Stangers (the above one from 2003), Strangers (II, from 2007), Offiside. I think it is worth to see them all.

Excerpt from Wikipedia: Caucasian race (also Caucasoid[1] or Europid[2]) is the general physical type of some or all of the populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, Western Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia.[3] The term was used in biological anthropology for many people from these regions, without regard necessarily to skin tone.[4] First introduced in early racial science and anthropometry, the taxon has historically been used to denote one of the proposed major races of humankind.[5] Although its validity and utility is disputed by many anthropologists, Caucasoid as a biological classification remains in use,[6] particularly within the field of forensic anthropology.[5] Also, I don't dispute the fact that the two men found a common enemy and they were united by this commonality.

Lidia Morita Many Jews worldwide do share common ancestry. However, one does not have to be of a particular ethnicity to become a Jew. Let me give you an example: If you are White you can never become Black or Asian. However many Blacks and Asians, for instance like Sammy Davis Jr and Connie Chung have become Jews.

Yeah, same goes for Muslims. You may be black or white or pink etc. Just because he was reading Arabic does not make him Arab, people who convert to Islam often learn Arabic. I can play this game. I think we should apply the same parameters to both. The point is though that the conflict between those two wasn't (only) religious but territorial and related to the middle East tensions. Have a look at the other short film I already mentioned - offside. I think it clears up a bit the agenda the authors had.

por qué mostraría el judio la estrella de David al árabe con ese aire de superioridad? eso me lo pareció. luego el judio ve apróximarse a los neo-nazis, que estan bien en su papel de estúpidos racistas violentos, y pronto la esconde. ah, magnifico trabajo; muestra mucho mas que lo obvio y elocuente: el judio se siente muy por encima del árabe, sólo al ver a los neo-nazis muestra su cobardía y más aun cuando a él lo reconocen como tal, porque no mostró empatía por el árabe cuando era fastidiado. bueno que los dos se ayudaron mutuamente en el apremio de la circunstancia, pero el judio no tenia ninguna intención de ayudar al árabe; poco favor le hicieron a ese "pueblo elegido de Dios" presentándolo tal cual. tal vez sea por ese instante que se presenta tan claramente aqui -que he descrito al principio- que la guerra sigue y seguirá hasta el fin de los tiempos.

What a terrifically made short movie. Oh, it was excellent!! Two unlikely protagonists, not knowing one another, become unlikely allies against three antogonists; three bullies, who wish to do them harm, just b/c the two protagonists are of a different skin color; nationality; creed; denomination. This shows the various sides of humanity; and, how, at the end, the two protagonists silently acknowledged, and showed respect to one another. How each one thanked the other just by being human....

This is a wonderful film. It says so much in so little time and the symbolism is great. The skinheads who are the inheritors of the Nazi mindset are the perfect touch to get the point across. You know they will actually try to harm the Jewish man and the Muslim man. The situation helps them both realize that anyone can be a victim of bigotry and the belief that it will never happen to me is a false hope. It ends realistically, with both men on opposite sides of the tracks. Great film!

The man with the newspaper is an Arab, hence the tension between the two (the newspaper is in Arabic I believe). The Jewish man shows his Star of David to the Arab. When the Neo-Nazis come, they come after the Arab because he is obvious. The Jew hides his star. But when his phone rings playing the Jewish song Hava Nagila, the Neo-Nazis turn on him as well. The Jew and Arab, now faced with a common enemy, unite. Brilliantly done! Not a word spoken - so much transmitted by facial expressions!

The theme of the short film Strangers is based upon the idea of unity between strangers to overcome a common threat or to accomplish a common goal. We often segregate ourselves from others based upon our religious, political, or ethnic background to the extent that we find our beliefs to be superior to others. The film shows that we need to break these barriers down if we are to live with one another in a humane a civilized manner.
