I bet you'll remember Pantene Pro-V shampoo the next time you're at the supermarket after watching that...very touching.  |

Who can say no to a pretty girl with shinny long hair after all, no matter she is deaf or blind.
But I am really sick of "Canon" its a good piece but that doesn't mean I want it everywhere...

You know - my eyes welled up a bit watching it and then I went to wash my hair straight after but I only have 'head and shoulders' in the house!  But next time I buy shampoo I will buy Pantene Pro-V! They deserve my money for such a stellar advert! |

That commercial sure did pull the heart strings. Quite sentimental, but it captured Thailand quite well with the usual gorgeous white Thai-Chinese girl, the bullying, the temper tantrums, , the jealousy, the stubborn pride. What I particularly liked about it was the gentle anti-conformist message: "why do you have to be like others?" That is a message that I hope spreads down south.

Lots of companies make ad like this one and throw them on internet, they know people will help spread. ( they are a lot smarter than other ad that force you to watch between the TV shows)
The last one I watched was started by Catherine Zeta Jones <Alchemist>
Presented by LUX
But to be honest (no offend to the OP), Pantene (Korean Pantene to be specific) is my least favorite shampoo, It 's a cheap product but still affords to make tons of ad like this, you can imagine how good the quality is. |

The advert worked despite the fact the deaf girl was pretty, if she had been a plain jane it would have added more emotion and more gravitas to the story in my opinion.
As for 'Canon' how can you get sick of it?  |

Here's my music snobbery at its most basic...
What the girl played on the piano could never be beaten by Pachelbel's sh*tty canon, no matter how deaf or limbless.
Especially if she was playing it solo like that, rather than with a string orchestra as the backing track implied. She could be doing pole vaults over bears and I still wouldn't give my vote.
Saying that, I still cried a little before my irritation set in on the final performance.
Man I hate Pachelbel.
Pachelbellend, more like. |

I have watched it a load of times since - I hope that kind of advertising catches on in the UK. |

You cried, I cried! It was an excellent piece of film! Five stars! Why I hadn't seen it before now is beyond me!  |

What do you mean by 'that kind'. Dramatic, emotional? or non sequitur?
examples of both are all over the shop. This one also brings a tear to the eye from... Japan? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpf2hsZGsJM&feature=related
Then there's all those shock factor British 'don't speed/drink and drive' ads. |

It was the fact that the story was important and it was clever that it was non sequitur - like a drama within the commerical break and it was only then at the very end for 10 seconds that you knew what the advert was, I was so impressed that I am going to buy a shitload of Pantene Pro-V tomorrow at wal mart! And I don't need shampoo as I bought a load of '3 for 2' head and shoulders a month ago.
I am a sucker for it and emotional - and I am going to check out your youtube link and report back here sir! |

Japan? Probably Thai. Doesn't sound like Japanese at all. |

| No, hence my question mark, because it says in the 'tags' bit 'Japan', but I also wasn't convinced. Anyway, it's sad. |

It is Thai. Look at the writing at the end. I highly doubt it's Lao or Khmer (I get those alphabets mixed up). |
