Bastet December 3, 2019 Share December 3, 2019 3 minutes ago, theredhead77 said: I think the longer version put everything in context of what the family was dealing with, and the iPad was a bit of distraction in a home that probably didn't have technology (and a grieving, stressed grandparent) where as the short version just looks like they're shoving the iPad in their faces so they don't have to interact. I watched the long version, and it's all the parents ever do with them. Yes, everyone is grieving - including those girls - but if I of all people feel sorry for two kids constantly getting told to knock it off when they're just being kids, it's excessive. Whether they're doing something they actually need to be redirected from, like fighting in the backseat or pushing the light on and off on the airplane, or just existing, they get handed a device and shooed away. The grandpa can barely be bothered to say hello to them, and when they move on to the dog, who might actually be as excited to see them as they are to see her/him, they get told to “settle down”. When they make their own non-electronic fun playing with the dog, all they get is “Make sure you clean that up.” Why not wait and see if they don’t do it on their own? They’re constantly herded into another room and handed a screen. They’re nice enough to ask if grandpa is still sad, and get told to keep busy and not annoy grandpa. On and on. They find photos and videos on their own and do this really nice thing for a family that has spent the entire visit excluding them, and finally everyone talks to each other. 1 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/55667-commercials-that-got-us-misty-choked-us-up-or-made-us-cry/page/5/#findComment-5786671

CrazyInAlabama November 9, 2020 Share November 9, 2020 (edited) I love the Amazon commercial. I love the Christmas one for Kohl's where the little girl and the woman next door hold up notes to each other, then the woman disappears, and reappears a longtime later, and has a hospital bracelet on. Then the woman writes a note asking if the girl received what she wanted for Christmas, and when the little girl says yes, you know that she wanted her friend next door to come back. I love the Chewy commercial where the woman tells each pet that they're her favorite, and she sends them all gifts, and gets pictures of the pets wearing her gifts.

While it's all-around heartwarming, it's the actor's line reading of this, and I can't quite explain why: "My parents were born deaf. I was not."

candall August 6, 2021 Share August 6, 2021 There's a commercial playing during the Olympics about a baby girl from Siberia who will need to have her legs amputated. The potential adoptive mother, hearing the situation over the phone, doesn't hesitate one heartbeat before she agrees that the baby's life will be hard, but also "Amazing." And while all this is going on, there are beautifully filmed scenes of the girl's life as she grows, as she starts to swim--missing her legs below the knees--while the water rolls in and fills the frame for each scene. At the end, the young woman smiles at the camera and starts swimming into the sunset--west, toward the woman who will be giving her that amazing life. I can hardly type, I'm so choked up thinking about this commercial. 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/55667-commercials-that-got-us-misty-choked-us-up-or-made-us-cry/page/5/#findComment-6935399
