It could have been more best………The vibe of DSF is missing
Doesn’t work for me. DSF is about fun, excitement, thrill, colours, noise. All that’s missing from this one. Through the spot, I was waiting for the soothing music to suddenly burst into a rupturous roar that is the DSF. I can see the makers trying to create a personal more human link to it all. But in the bargain it’s robbed DSF of its character. Totally lacks the exuberance of the biggest event of the region.
Romantic and beautifully directed… but….
When I’m “spontaneous, laughing, careless, at the most beautiful me,” the last thing I would go for is shopping!
Really, wrapping real happiness and offering it in shopping bags with price tags is the ugliest form of communication the corporate culture brought into our lives!
Yuk!!
Piano music, profound monologue, numerous images, no idea. The trend continues.
