TV ad - Barclays Bank - 1980s SF Blade Runner

[annoianoid]

This is much more of a pastiche of Brazil than Blade runner.

I've not seen that one... thanx for the info

[iTalented]

Great idea...but banks are still nasty

[HawklordPXR5]

bigger they get, the less important you are... simple logic and going to be more true after the credit crunch shakedown than ever before.

[JADEFENDERMAN]

Customer service?

[Waldemar3]

still very relevant today in terms of wanting to talk to a real person in regards to any sort of beaurocracy.

[ludocrat]

Yeah, and especially a British bloody high street bank!

There was an advert similar to this that advertised a tv set. Geometry set the ad was called i think

[Webins]

This is a really, really great commercial. Aside form the robots, it could be an actual missing scene from Blade Runner.

Thanks you very much for posting this!
