I've got a few videos today from the brilliant Levi's "Go Forth" ad campaign. I'm not one to promote commercials, but what they've done with these ads are wonderful. The first one is an older commercial from excellent up and coming director Cary Fukunaga.(Sin Nombre)Using the poetry of Walt Whitman perfectly compliments the aesthetic of the piece.
The second one here is a Terrence Malick influenced ad by John Hillcoat.(The Proposition, The Road) Richard Wagner's beautiful Vorspiel from Das Rheingold was used towards the end of The New World. Though used in a great way in this commercial, it still doesn't match up with one of the great moments in cinema of the past decade in Malick's masterpiece. The voice over is very obviously heavily influenced by the voice over Malick used in Days of Heaven as well.
