Table 7 - short film (the link and my description) It’s a late evening in a quite big and respectable Chinese restaurant. They both are dressed up and look good, but they aren't enjoying the moment. They are having a fight right over there. The guy reproached the girl that she has been having a sour look and keeps ignoring him. He actually wants to talk about what happened, but she doesn't. Like it's absolutely obvious why she is being like this. On the contrary, he doesn't feel guilty. He thinks that's outrageous and even ridiculous. He is sure he didn't do anything wrong. "I don’t see what’s complicated of this," he says. But she doesn't feel comfortable discussing it in the restaurant. She wouldn't like somebody listening in their intimate conversation. She said, "If it were up to me, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation". "You’re making this into much more of a big deal than it really is", he replied. Then, very unexpected, we see a Chinese guy in the basement, who is nervously smoking and bugging their conversation. He makes notes, trying not to lose the keywords. At first, I thought he is a spy and decoding an important message. When the connection isn't good he bumps his equipment to fix it as fast as possible. However, not all is as it seems. When he realizes that this couple is having a culmination moment and something bad can happen to them. He begins quickly writing something on a manual typewriter. He barely has time to have it done. Because right at that moment some girl is going down to the basement to take away the page he has typed. The next moment we see that the couple gets the check and traditional fortune cookies. Each of them automatically opens it and reads a message. Their faces are changing, they look stunned ... 'A simple sorry between lovers can prevent life-long regrets' was in his message. 'To blame is human, but to forgive is divine' was in hers. He apologizes and sincerely says that he never meant to hurt her. and that he doesn’t want to lose her over something like this. She smiles and says 'Sorry' for being overreacted. They both admit they hate when they fighting. The Chinese guy smiles as well and takes a deep breath. He did a great job and saved their relationship. But his work isn't finished yet and the next table needs their own wisdom cookies. How I wish that guy were by me when it needed. I like fortune cookies and find it fascinating. I always try to apply the message to my current situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-n4eSIsr2c
