connaitre...it's french...btw this commercial is fucking hilarious check out the facebook group for it...the new heineken commercial with john turturro is BOMBTASTIC!
I don't even like Heineken, and yet this is one of my favorite commercials ever. It took me a few views to make sense out of everything he said. Very insightful though.
This is a compass, and you son, are the navigator. Every man is the leader of his own expedition, like a loiterer of his own uncharted potential. No destination is the destination of the undestinated. But, he who wanders with purpose has no purpose to wander. This is not a beer, this is a compass. So navigate wisely, don't get lost.
According to numerous sources the music is "Wet Ankles" by RJD2, I've seen this info from many different places; but I cannot find the track. The search continues.
this shit was funny. watch it blazed and i assure you you will change your mind about it. it is like a redundant philosophy lesson. its just like saying if you have to write, say nothing, but in that, you will say everything. acid talk. not meant to make much sense, but making all the sense you want it to.
Its a brilliant commercial because it draws your attention- it makes you wanna look up the commercial on youtube just to find out what he says- and its a really good beer
this is a great commercial, and this commercial makes sense if you think about it. That's the point of this commercial, to make you think about what he said so you'll watch it again. Great marketing ploy by Heineken.
I really like this. Not the beer part of it so much... Remove the first and last line and that's pretty deep.
I only looked it up cause this dude from Mr. Deeds.
p.s.
Heineken is the Budweiser of green beers. So for youngsters. Not us real beer drinkers. We graduated, that's why sales are dropping. You're not getting the new generation of noob good beer drinkers anymore. Don't target us, we found actual good beer. Target the people still drinking worse beer looking to start drinking good beer.
"This is a compass, and you sir are the navigator. Every man is leader of his own expedition reconnoiter of his own uncharted potential."
In this part, John Turturro made something we like to call a "metaphor"... He is saying that beer, by itself, is nothing more than a liquid. It's how you use it that matters.
"No destination is the destination of the undestinated, but he who wanders with purpose has no purpose to wander. This is not a beer, this is a compass.
This second part is a bit more complex. I believe it is urging people to reconsider their intentions before they drink. Better said as "If you are drinking to get drunk, you shouldn't be drinking in the first place."
"No destination is the destination of the undestinated, but he who wanders with purpose has no purpose to wander" Hillarious and great. Good job John Turturro.
he is my favorite actor, and so charming. id just his bones in a millisecond

Reconnoiter-er. One who reconnoiters.
It's an awkward word, to say the least.
bldywanker 3 years ago
"reconnoiter-er" yeah, he added an "er"
Reconnoiter means to scout or explore, often with the goal of finding something or somebody
So a Reconnoiter-er would be a person who scouts or explores (their own uncharted potential in this case) XD

Why the fuck is John Turturro doing beer commercials?
The movies nowadays are shitty enough, you figure he'd get a part in at least one of them.
The guy is a decent actor, this is almost as sad as Steve Bushcemi doing cell phone ads.

Metaphor: "He who wanders with purpose has no purpose to wander"
Drinking to get wasted is about the same as trying to use a compass to get lost, but if you use it wisely, you can discover greater things.
