Well done. 100% agree.

That was bad...

i posted on the other thread about this ad that there is no way that people living in nursing homes would be that healthy. if they were, they wouldn't be living there.

That's an Asylum, not a nursing home.

Agree with Home on the sea

From experience I can tell you, if anyone in a group home like that wanted to do that...the nurses and workers there would have opened the door for himMay have gone with him and watched, but ..well, it was cheesy.

All you youngsters need to go to your local Blockbuster and rent One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and then get back to us.

There's a serious Nurse Ratched, R.P. McMurphy, and Cheif Bromden vibe going on here.

No more Blockbusters, dude.

It's a "memory care" unit, for dementia patients. These are kept secure 24/7. Hopefully you will never have to make the acquaintance.

What say you madame foreperson? You remind me of the Aaron Hernandez courtroom verdict from the jury

So these students appropriated a company's intellectual property (their logo) to make an amateurish commercial, and now are butt-hurt that the company didn't call to congratulate and offer them all jobs?

So now they're trying to make the video go viral to "stick it to the man" and prove just how awesome of filmmakers they are?

Millenials are so predictable with their social media outrage.

I knew a guy who had some sort of breakdown and memory losd and was sectioned.

He did just that, he said I'm going for a run. They thought he was joking but off he went.

The staff legged it after him but he was a pretty decent runner and they couldn't catch him!

It's a brilliant advert especially for all ex athletes. I heard a student devised that advert as well which is pretty impressive.

I like it but they are trying a bit too hard right?

So, YOU like it, but you second guess it because some people might think it is "trying a bit too hard" and you don't have the conviction to just "decide for yourself"?

I pity you. Grow up. Be your own person. Enjoy what you enjoy.

If you remove the quotes from "memory care" it spells Asylum.

Video is very cheesy and overwrought. Solid student work but not great.

The call is the 1500m final from 1980 the only interesting question is whether the actor has any connection to either of the East Germans in that race....

Love the Adidas Rom ran in those in 7th grade. I thought it was a great add and very well done. It hit's a little to close to home for some of us. Best to all.

w.f.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This. It's an offensive ad. And the student wonders why Adidas didn't pick it up. The student should be thankful adidas allows it at all. It puts adidas in a bad light.

Not awesome, complete rubbish.

I love the ad but I understand that it is not acceptable for a major company to use

it's a good short film tho
