Good ad, but it was too easy to guess the pun.
Yup... I think you'd call that a metaphor, not a pun.
Reminds me of Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now... "it was like I was shot with a diamond between the eyes..."
Doesn't make it any less powerful though, does it?

Hard to say: "good, great, nice". This story is sad, but unfortunately true.

Interesting film, good art direction. As Szychowski said, sad story, unfortunately true.
Good. But the editing could've been better.

"I love everything"
Agreed
Shocking but excellent idea.
I wish i hadn't read the client name on top before i saw this video. it would shock me more.
i dont know
Well done. This is really good. The soundtrack you used was really emotive.
i think its awesome.
I will send it to my gf, maybe it makes sense after "bloody diamond"...
No need for word here. Actually, try looking at the ad with the sound off. Just as effective.
Really cool!
I don't want to palce any comment... just to see...
I don't want to place a reply... just to read ;-)

Simple and still very emotional. This is a subject that deserves more understanding and attention.
