isnt this add older than xmen 3? i think it might be. dont qoute me on that but i think the add is older. and id rather watch this advert for 2 hours than xmen 3, its not a bad movie, but then its not good either.
They usually give directors creative license to interpret their slogans/point they're trying to make with their product, etc. So the slogan for these is movement without constraint, which leads to being able to move how you'd like which leads to busting ass through walls and up trees which leads to a very cool commercial.
i understand where your coming from but no, just cause they both share someone running through walls dosen't make it a rip off, your forgetting that they're based off comic book characters, and i'm sure somewhere in those comics that character ran through wall also
You should really read the full description and reader comments before posting. I posted this the week X3 hit theatres as I noticed some shots were very similar. Later on when the movie hit DVD, in the commentary they said they were inspired by this commercial. So yes, it was inspired by, and I bet Juggernaut wouldn't have been in X3 if someone in the creative process had not seen this commercial.
i totally agree with you i heard the commentary as well this is my first time seeing the commercial. but one thing juggernaut is most famous for just walking right thu walls. so a sequence like this was inevitable thanks for posting this video.
"What does this have to do with anything?" Read the description. I posted this the week X3 hit theatres as I noticed some shots were very similar. Later on when the movie hit DVD, in the commentary they said they were inspired by this commercial. So if this was a waste of your time, then you're probably not that interested in what inspires filmmakers.
What does it matter to begin with? It isn't like any of us are the owners of Marvel Comics. That could sue the Levis people or be sued by them. So really the person that put this up. Really needs to get a life I think.
Well JKent65000, it wasn't about whether legal action could be taken. I posted this over two years ago when X3 came out and noticed the similarities in the way the commercial was shot and the the sequence in the movie. Apparently in the X3 audio commentary they've confirmed that they were inspired by this commercial, so my instincts were correct. In terms of getting a life, you can say that about 99.9% of YouTube content.
So I still like the scene in the movie because it told you what the boy's power was without telling you. And who really cares I mean levi's didn't do anything about it.
Jonathan Glazer, who made this movie is a video artist. Exactly as Michel Gondry. They discover new technics, thanks to their engineering, thus many are inspired by the greatest.
Take a look to this commercial from Michel Gondry: the "bullet time", is one of his invention, and wachowski brothers used it in Matrix...INSPIRATION
juggernauts been running through walls since the 1960's x-men comics so explain to me exactly how this is a rip of? It's called RESEARCH!!! Do some next time. tsk!
I don't know if the director was inspired by or not, by the Juggernaut's been breakin' shit by running through it since the sixties, that's what he does, he's unstoppable. But as for that particular shot, well who knows?
oh wow, i see now that bursting through walls was not invented by juggernaut, but by a jeans commercial.. which came out like 30 years after juggernaut did it.. hmm.. yes.. makes perfect sense...
okay, 1) it took you 3 months to respond to my comment umm...a little slow?
2) read these comments, there is more to this ad than people running through walls, the running through walls part is only a small part of it, Juggernaut is not the only thing that has busted trough walls in popular media in the last 50 years!( the kool-aid guy?? is he x men rip off too?)
3) since when is anything not inspired by something? its how art works by inspiration, if it was a rip off it would of been one huge guy with a helmet on smashing through walls, not a thin guy and girl racing through walls, through giant plants, up tall trees and leaping into space! do you get it yet, if it has any ties to the xmen at all it is one of inspiration not anything more
5)how do you figure by the way that if your retarded(which is slang for well.. stupid)that i am a petafile(which is not slang, but an illegal, immoral, sexual deviant form of abusive behavior)?
im sorry your not a retard, that would be insulting retarded folk every where, your just a fucking idiot, you should watch what you accuse people of these days...
oh, and the x men movies came 40 years after the comic book and juggernaught was in like issue 12
hey dumbass maybe YOU should watch what YOU call OTHERS! hypocrite moron.and i dont give a fuck about comics im not a freak of nature (yes i called YOU and YOU only that) who has nothing betetr to do.Get of ur rag.
Juggernaut's awesome strength that allows him to burst through ANYTHING is ripped off a jeans commercial........OH MY FUCKING GOD LETS SUE THE BASTARDS! >_>
News Flash X-men also had a cartoon in the 90's that this was probably based off of if you read the comics or watched the show you'd know that this idea is Juggernauts not levi
i dont even think that this commercial has anythin to do witht he x emn 3 cuz the guy who smashes threw walls wasnt he aleardy doing it since how ever long??
So a guy running through walls is ripped off by a guy who has been running through walls since he was created? Does this mean that Glazer (director of this video) was ripping off Clockwork Orange when he filmed Blur's "Universal"?
How can you argue about plagiarism in this day and age? Everything is a rip-off of something else. The most popular music and film genres of today wouldn't exist were it not for borrowed elements of the past. X Men 3 is an inspiration if anything... but even at that how many different ways are there to portray someone smashing through walls?
Definatly NOT a rip off. Juggernaut (who is the one who runs thru walls like that) has been doing that since the early comics in the fucking 60's! If anything this vid ripped the X men off.
i don't think they stole anything... they crash through walls in constantine too, did they steal it from them? Dont' think so. now if she was running through the walls, grabbed him by the waist, pulled him into the floor and left him there... then um yeah. stolen.
this reminded me of the kool aid man XP OOH YEAAH
