Best advertisement EVER! What else can one say (except get a clue to the OUAT "fans" who do not quite understand that Carlyle's Rumpel/Gold is making that show)..
So amazing, must have been hard to time it to get every prop in exactly the right place for the right time, if Carlyle walked or talked at the wrong speed it would have been off, and at 6 and a half minutes that a long time for one continuous take.
@GerryTuohyNz I haven't heard of Bombay whisky, is it good? The Cardhu was a present and, as you know, the main ingredient of JW. I'm awaiting a decent time to open it...
To quote Robin Williams "Really? Really? You've fused your ass into the couch and you're giving me shit?" Smoke some pot and chill the fuck out man, damn. Even the pot smokers are hating these days.
@EndTheResistance so yes alchohal is poison but isn't it all. weed, alcohol, junk food, adrenalin, you name it l everyone has their vices. Whatever vice they have will take years off their life but i have to ask you do you want 90 chaste, and ascetic pope years, or 27 wild rock star years? I do not know about you but joining the 27 club is fine with me.
@tnethacker: i wrote, i would buy a bottle of Johnnie Walker, i did not say, that i want to drink it... ;-) do you know the story about the difficulties making this commercial?
It's an absolutely terrific commercial! If I was Johnny Walker, I'd hire you in a flash. Have you ever made a trailer for a feature film? And a second strange question, are you from Montana?
That's what I would do with whiskey...put it in the bin...can't stand the stuff. and this guy is a litter- bug...lol...would someone report him...ha !
@goodguy0920 First bottle I bought the day I turned 21 (just a few days ago) was Yamazaki 12 y.o. Not bad, but it reminded me too much of Chivas Regal. Last night, I had a dram of Johnnie Walker Black at my local bar. Best whisky I've ever tasted...
I have been a Johnnie Walker embiber for many years.
I have just sampled the Double Black and it is real smooth. Every other whisky/ whiskey would always be many paces behind and will never catch up. Lovely drop. Keep walking Johnnie.
Keep walking...............still walking............damnit where did I park my car???! "Black label, keeps you in shape becuz you'll too fucked up to find your car!"
Its simple as this: The idea of the commercial is to transmit that johnie walker have so much energy, confidence, security in his steps that breaks you the paradigm of (luck is something you can not control) like is of course the meaning. Or well.lets said it the boring-book meaning. Just convince yourself you can be lucky, if you can believe it your days will change..for real ( with small things) if you dont thing thats possible its ok, but dont try to "make sense"somethings that almostpoetic.
@JoanaMara You can disagree all you want, still doesn't change the fact that to be "Smart enough to be lucky" makes virtually no grammatical sense whatsoever.
@EpiphoneArchtopLover Im an investor for my young age I've seen plenty of success. I believe that I am the most luckiest guy in the world. I however never rely on my luck or let the dice roll. I believe I'm smart and I believe that I make my own luck. +1 for Johnny walker his quote "keep walking" has keep me going during the worse times and now I'm somewhere I want to be in life.
and im also drunk after drinking a bottle of johnny walker gold label with my buddies
@Snowy123 But that's my point - grammatically at least, "smart enough to be lucky" makes little sense whatsoever. luck comes by chance, as does intelligence, one will not get you the other.
One of those rare times when an ad can be not only brilliant and sell a product, but also be inspirational. The concept, execution and after taste of this ad is second to none.
Very well done!!! There's so much that gets taken for granted. The narrator arrives at specific places at just the right time to make it seem natural, and the cameraman is so smooth in shooting the narrator that you don't even notice him. The amount of planning, rehearsing, and post-production that went into this is staggering. Let it be known; it's not easy to create a short of this quality. Alot of work went into this. Very well done!!!
if there werent any subtitles you'd notice how he looks down almost all the time to read his line.. it would have been so much sicker if he was looking at the camera instead
Johnnie Walker Black Label was a good drink, but in my country, Saudi Arabia can not drink simply because it is forbidden, do not know why deny us enjoy a drink spirits.
I want to tell you that I recently got a liter of this mixture of good and I enjoyed drinking it and the atmosphere was very nice and rainy, or at least this was my feeling
It happens throughout the film. Most likely it's the effects of the zoom. The cameraman is moving backwards as the speaker is walking forward, and the distance between them isn't always consistent. In order to keep the size of the subject in the composition the same the camera must either zoom in or zoom out, respective to the change in distance. By doing this the background will seem to "shift". This is known as "dolly zoom", or also "Hitchcock zoom".
