It's Simply That They Are Human, and We Are Human - Go World

[TKDwarrior13]

when i think of god, i think of morgan freeman

[yobuttin]

this one sucked.

[npadul30]

All flags are from the US lol.

[kurt8buck4dinner]

@npadul30 i saw greece... the runner was from brazil

[Inkognitohaloramics]

Don't ever take this video down.

[chicagoguy19]

he also narrates the usa world cup 2022 bid. moving

[BrittanyandSidni]

This is so inspirational. Who is the guy at :50? Anyone know?

[redsmurf02]

@BrittanyandSidni the guy at :50 is bob beamon he set the long jump world record (1968 olympics distance 8.90m or 29ft 2.5in) and jump farther then the measuring device could even measure. his record wasn't beating until carl lewis and mike powell battle for it at the 1991 world championships in athletics in tokyo where mike powell ended up breaking the record by 2in with a record of 8.95m or 29ft 4.5in. hopefully this was insightful :)

[inmanmark]

@redsmurf02The guy at .50 is not Bob Beamon. He's wearing spandex leggings. Any picture of Bob Beamon in spandex would have required him to be a pretty old man. The uniform the guy at .50 is wearing looks like a '80s US uniform; it could be from the LA games. Hopefully it's not Carl. I seem to remember that Mike Powell wore shorts, not spandex. Crap, it's probably Carl. But, the top of his head doesn't look flat enough. I don;t know who it is. It;s just not Bob Beamon.

[SuburbanProperty]

@BrittanyandSidni bob beamon?

[missjpace]

yessss! kerri's ankle! i was waiting for it the whole time.

[deastor]

Morgan Freeman makes these commercials great. wouldnt want it any other way

[ndebbiegirl]

I swear...Morgan Freeman could be reading a groceries list and make it sound inspiring...

[EverythingElse723]

i love this commercial and i love the olympics!!!!!! but i dont know if they will ever be as good as they were in beijing. there was just too much history made there...

[ProjectILT]

[KenDoeFresh]

[goruu]

I can't tell which is better, the Derrick Comerical or this.

[sgreene85]

Does anyone know the lyrics to the song? So beautiful!

[hillzyworm1]

this would have to be my favorite. i love how its not focusing on one person. its on the whole human race. GO WORLD!

[GONARUTOSONIC]

GO WORLD!

[KnowYourSymphony]

This song is by film composer Craig Armstrong titled: Choral Ending. LOVE IT!

Such a powerful video. GO WORLD.

[jav929]

freakin goosebumps

[20690]

it didnt make me cry, but it got pretty close. like 3 of these commercials have almost made me cry

[Michaelf1968]

this whole segment of commercials is a long never ending saga of Epic win!!

[DercSalvo421]

Morgan Freeman is my hero. He made this ad so amazing. Go World!!!!

[Legoman2022]

GO WORLD

[leeny11]

this made me cry so freaking hard

[mrf0lky]

[nicoleeism]

best voice in the world

[wings4shoes]

I've watched this commercial no less than 100 times, but I still get goosebumbs and my eyes still water...

[peoplehavefunny]

i agree

[encantarebelde]

racism rehabilitation should include watching videos like these. how can you feel hate for another group after this?

[Winston408]

yeah really

[Winston408]

Hooray For Morgan Freeman!!!!!

[potteryourotter]

even now this commercial makes me cry like a baby

[wakeisbeast234]

rofl!!! michael phelps smokes weed, and hes still the best!!!!! and he still has the best lungs in all of swimming!!!!

[nsteingass]

Best voice in the world!

[ahsduiladgh]

wow haha i forgot how beautiful freeman's voice was.

[kgordon22586]

THIS MAKES ME GET EMOTIONAL.

[Ric0908]

That was my fav visa commercial so beautiful !

[aliciasacramone4ever]

how come i cant find this song anywhere..i dont think its the right title

[Akufyghs]

When Micheal Phelps succeeds, fish succeed

[KimmyBlue95]

@Akufyghs i cant stop lol ing reading ur comment...

ouch! my guts hurts lol ing

[4263484]

i love the guys voice! this is my favorite commercial

[woahmullet]

you mean morgan freeman

[pioreawesomesauce]

this commercial is beautiful. watching it for first time made me teary (partly because i was emotional already from the beijing opening)

does anybody know what the song is? i'd really like to have the mp3 of this commercial without the talking for a project of mine.

[mex1jvr]

visa made an excellent call in getting moragn freeman to have him lend his voice for this commercial

[DRzCalderon]

to Err is Human, To forgive is Divine. Long live the olympics

[cdoggyfizzle]

These commercials are so inspirational. Makes me wanna cry! Man I'm already crying and tearing up! Damn you Morgan Freeman!

[gara112]

gosh, this commercial brought all sorts of emotions to me the first time i saw it!!! Morgan's voice + The Choir in the background = CHILLS DOWN MA SPINE!!! =)

[metsrule1000]

the olympics were an obsession and i never thought i'd miss them this much LONDON 2012!

[oslbhops29]

the 2008 olympics was like a good friend to me; there were the great times and not so great times

overall it was one of the most memorable moments of my life

now the olympics are over for now, but I still miss it..and everything it was about

[brdhln45]

i miss the olympics : (

[punked9976]

The only logical fallacy is that Michael Phelps isn't human, therefore,

when he succeeds, normal humans dont.

xD

[321SuperGirl123]

i love these commercials... best olympics commercials

[wimbledonx2]

i live for these! only 1383 days until london 2012!

[Weirdish]

Um, guys? The flag the first woman is holding is a Grecian flag.

[mex1jvr]

dang morgan freeman has a powerful voice

[zmchamorro]

my gosh...gave me chills to...

I love Morgan Freeman!!!!!

[B0MBILL0]

Mostrooooooooooo cojoneeeee

[OSO15H]

[Egghed545]

my god this brings tears to my eyes.....

[vinnybkfam]

[vinnybkfam]

great commercial...i mean really. this shit gives me chills. this one an the derrick redmond one

[mgsfan15]

Yep, this one and the Derrick Redmond one are the best ones. I can't wait for 2012.

[oslbhops29]

I'm so glad that I have had the opportunity to witness these great olympics of 2008 and everything it represented for the world.

Coming together, putting rivalries aside

( except that Russia-Georgia conflict)

Competing in the spirit of humanity.

I'll sorely miss these Games, they inspired me and brought many great moments, but I'm already looking forward to London in 2012

[manilaman101]

yea u kinda TOTALLY RUINED THE WHOLE MOOD OF THE AD when u cut the end off and didn't let the song finish.

[QueenNicole92]

I know!!!

[sweeney2419]

morgan freeman has the best voice on the planet.

[kungpaui]

i was gonna ask if it was him that was narrating this. you answered my question even before i asked. anyway, he has a really wise-sounding voice ya know? it's very recognizable.

[EternalxJourney]

I was just gonna say the same thing. As soon as I saw this ad on tv this summer, I instantly recognized his voice.

[ousooners5193]

Those of you arguing about the representation of countries have missed the point. You must listen to the dialogue. This was about puting aside nationalities and everything that makes us different, so we could become a citezen of HUMANITY, a word that encompasses all time, all places, and all people.

[ousooners5193]

It is our compassion that separtes us from the infinite organisms of this earth. And for 3 weeks, it is possible to have compassion without boundary. That is the message.

[D1A2S3I4L5V6A7]

jesus stop fighting its an american commercial that's why our flags in it. i cant believe you people you should feel priveleged to live in such a great country. people everyday are risking their lives so we can be free. its sad that we take our freedom for granted sometimes.

[fp00n]

The first amendment grants us the freedom of speech, so what's wrong with making suggestions about how the commercial can be better? Sure, it's an American commercial, but its message is "Go World." There should be more countries represented.

[D1A2S3I4L5V6A7]

no im just saying you shouldn't get worked up about soemthing so small. its just a commercial. im not saying you cant say what you want.

[mydas1]

OUR flag? We should feel privileged to live in such a great country? Jesus, that's my point! I AM NOT AMERICAN! Why do people assume that every english speaking person on here is American. Thank you "D1A2S3I4L5V6A7" for demonstrating my point better than I ever could.

[furiousgeorgey13]

Thank you so much for postin this! I've been looking forever for this commercial.

[blessedniqi]

I Like this ad better than that of Nike's...

It really embody the whole thought of OLYMPICS..

well that's just my opinion.

[spongebobedit91020]

morgan will always be the best narator(did i spell that wrong??).

[yellowTAXIcabs]

Close. :)

It's narrator.

[newpixeldude]

Mr. Freeman... you´r the man

[ProjectILT]

i like this one

[mydas1]

Ironically, the largest percentage of athletes/flags in the ad are AMERICAN. Sure, it doesn't matter! NBC...

[verkhovensky99]

well friend I was surprised to see that the most common flag here is the greek (Barcelona 1992 100 hurdles golden olympian Patoulidou, Triple jump silver(2004) and bronze(2008) medalist Devetzi).there's also a kid with the flag painted on his face. You propably confused it with the american (which also exists on the ad of course) because of the stripes. Being a greek guy i liked it a lot

[lsipes66]

1st shot: greek 2nd shot: great britain, usa & germany 3rd shot: brazil 4th shot: greek 5th shot: usa 6th shot: usa 7th shot: poland 8th shot: usa 9th shot: greek 10th shot: turkey 11th shot: usa 12th shot: greek 13th shot: usa Do your flag homework, next time.

[mydas1]

Thanks for proving my point! Nearly half (46%) of the images/flags were USA...I don't think the Americans make up almost half of the world's population or half of the world's athletes. Point made.

[gatheringme]

morgan freeman has the perfect voice for this. great message. =]

[icanseeyousuckkaa]

I love this commercial!

[zzsleepytinizz]

I love this commercial. I am sad that the olympics are over! I completely agree with this message behind this ad. When you see someone, no matter what country they are representing, break another olympic or world record, it really is something for the whole human race to take pride in. Like how are we as a species consistently getting faster, increasing our endurance, and getting stronger? It makes me happy to know we haven't hit a wall, and GO WORLD!!!!

[knickedge123]

i love morgan freeman. his wife is an idiot for separating from him. these commercials are perfect with his voice

[Swill12137]

who is the greek woman at 0:15?

[verkhovensky99]

Hrysopiyi Devetzi . Triple jump athlete(silver and gold olympian in the last two olympiads)

[MASTA007i]

A big fucking chill flying down my spinie! And a boner...

[rubyhatchet]

MORGAN FREEMAN FTW

[MASTA007i]

Morgan Freeman hell yes! I love ya

[xshawnyxboyx]

is that the brazilian marathon runner who got bronze in athens at 10 seconds?

[msoto2]

This Visa commercial is absolutely incredible. It captures the Olympic spirit of Sport and Cooperation in such a concise, delicate, and yet elegantly poignant manner. Gets me a little teary-eyed just like the Derek Redmond commercial. Just awesome!

[Templar613]

This is my favorite VISA spot. It gives me a great sense of love for the unity of people coming together for two weeks. Past Memories of the games and of course the mighty USA!!

I love my country !

[harajuku48]

idk why but this commecial, derek redmond and the kerri strug one brind tears to my eyes. it makes u think how great america and the rest of the world can be

[MrDaNcinKo]

Omg this is the truth Smoke weed !

[camsully]

does anyone know the name of the technique used to move the still pictures like that?

[suiriryoku]

uh...panning?

[ProfessorRJLupin]

What's the music?

[BridgeChina]

The music is "Choral Ending" by Craig Armstrong

[hendrix3556]

this commerical is amazing with the turkish boxer and michael phelps--morgan freeman is awesome

what song is this????

[jimmiecgray]

ive never mist a micol felps raise in the olimpix and he is frecin amasing

[Chingster22]

have you entered 1st grade yet?

[chencho2689]

too bad this world is full of racism and selfishness that we cant always be this united.

[princeaferd]

yes but thats not the point of the video

[chencho2689]

how many of these commercials are there?? cuz i only have 10 on my favorites: 3 michael phelps, nastia liukin, bob beamor, derek redmond,strug, we come together, dick fosbury, and this one

[singducky]

I have 12, but there could be more that i dont know of. i have 3 michael phelps, nastia liukin, bob beamon, derek redmond, kerri strug, we come together, dick fosbury, human, brian clay, and steven lopez.

[rmcatholic]

When I was watching Michael Phelps win all of his Medals that made me want to do swimming. I thought it was phases until I saw this commercial that made me want to swim.

[Wafflechunkz]

this is the BEST one. i got chills all over my body, this is beautiful. i've been looking for this one since the first time i saw it!

[jmpcabdriver89]

morgan freeman could narrate anything and make it epic

[goldenglov13]

like the voice of god emanating over all of humanity morgan freeman sounds..

[SweEtStuFFxo3]

i absolutely love this commercial its amazing

[darwinx0101]

this is the best of the visa commercials

[Fijj300]

[anrasusan]

I've been looking for this one! Thanks for posting it!

[rosw]

This is the best one!

[gara112]

OMG YES!

i've been wanting someone to put this one up for so long!

i get goose bumps everytime i see this!

Morgan Freeman's Voice + Choir Music + Touching Images = AMAZING COMMERCIAL! =)

[catalystofchaos]

"Choral Ending" by Craig Armstrong

[FmlyGy123]

I like that song i want it

[wrmstrnc]

i love this commercial, its gives a brand new awesome quote, "when they succeed, we succeed"

[KCPhoto2008]

I think this is like my 20th time watching this commercial!

[jblocke123]

makes me proud to be human

[baraclude]

what are the alternatives? lol

[jonnorreeds]

what is the music?

was it made just for the commercial?

[BridgeChina]

I don't know, actually, but my guess is that it was made just for the commercial.

[catalystofchaos]

"Choral Ending" by Craig Armstrong

[iceninja86]

Very powerful commercial! I've been looking for this one for quite some time now.

[MIAGangsta]

ive been looking for this everywhere thank god its up!

[kyotokombat]

despite the fact that this was made by a multinational corporation with a bottom line, this commercial is.....powerful. i never get tired of seeing it. i never thought a sales pitch could be elevated to an art form!

[zakutei]

BEST COMMERCIAL.

[hondatech2o9nick]

Awsomeness ^^

[Spencer4228]

Thanks for posting. I have been looking for this for days!

[prophecy2007]

First of all, thank you for posting this I'm sure that there are many of us who have been pulling their hair trying to find this commercial. Now does anyone know the piece of music that is playing in the background of this ad?

[KCPhoto2008]

YES YES YES!!!!!! THIS IS THE GREATEST ONE OF ALL!!!!!!! BridgeChina...this is NOW my new NUMBER 1 FAVORITE!!!!!!

[trilldaddy07]

number 1.

[mike89954]

thank you bridgechina for posting this, this is by far the best at of all the visa go world ads.

[mrleet4]

Probably one of the most motivational commercials I've ever seen. Few people truly are ever blessed to be at the Olympics. That is an honor that most will never get. Kudos to whoever posted this. This is one of my favorites.

[Nickyd17]

This is one of the greatest commercials I have ever seen. Thank God someone finally posted it.
