Thai Pantene television commercial. Its simply brilliant. The story of a deaf and mute girl who learns to play the violin against all odds. I have to agree, it is one of the most touching advertisements I’ve seen in a long, long time.
Quoting The Inspiration Room:
Inspired by a street violinist playing Johann Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major, a teenage girl practices on the violin, perhaps one of the most difficult instruments to play without hearing. She is hampered by her cruel peers, in particular a girl who aims for greatness on the piano. Again and again the violinist returns to the street player for inspiration, finally making it to a classical music competition. Throughout the film we’re shown a chrysalis opening to reveal a butterfly. During the final scenes the girl’s hair is revealed as a symbol of her shining, along with a brief shot of the Pantene Chrysalis Shampoo bottle.
Magic seems to occur when an ad campaign can serve as an inspiration!
Well done to Pantene
Wow ! what a good note to start on!!
brought tears to my eyes…
besides the fact that Canon in D is my most fave classical piece ever.
Great ad. Prosit Matt!
