Maybe it's just me but is TV the new cinema? There is more quality in the writing, acting and filming of this 3 min scene than I saw in the whole of Hollywoods output from last year.

Having grown up in Rochester NY (home of Kodak), with my dad taking family pix and making them into slides stored and projected in Carousels, this scene absolutely killed me.

My Dad, of Don Draper's generation and himself an ad man who got his start in creative on Madison Avenue, died the year Mad Men debuted. He would have absolutely *loved* this scene. It made me ache so profoundly, I can hardly express.....

This is how every pitch should be and how every creative should work.

The Kodak people from this scene thought in such a mechanical way that they ignored the true value of their product.

What we creatives must do is look above, within and beyond the product and the brand to realise what is truly being offered.

Unfortunately, unlike Jon Hamm, we don't have a script.

do you feel like cheating no more after this?

"To a place where we know we are loved" - Isn't that beautiful?

and the closest relationships fell somewhat distance like there being viewed threw a thick layer of percepts. Alot of shows & films look at the 60's as threw rose tinted glasses, making it out to be a joyous & loving time. Mad Men on the other hand dosen;t patronize the viewer like that & reminds that it was a time of struggle & oppression.

Each to there own. I kinda had the same opinion as you after the first few episodes of the first season. but I once I got to the last couple of episodes I was hooked. Things really unravel a bit a towards the end of the first season & the start of the second & we get a deeper understanding of the characters. One of the keys to the show is that all of the main characters are hiding something & half of the time your not sure what it is & neither & they.

haha hey i remember this comment, thanks for your reply. Actually this show is quite alright, a little slow for my taste though. This just didnt move me in any way, just another pitch really.

looks like someone didn't understand the genius of the scene.
