I really love it. How strong the message is!

ITs stupid to rule out the death penalty. Terrorists deserve to get Shot, Hanged, Tortured (inhumanly). If not other terrorists would hijack innocent people for the release of their man. great execution to this ad but i think amnesty is pointless.

ideas....30 minutes nahi toh free.

although i tend to agree with you - i dont think that anyone has the right to determine someone else's fate.

Vervroegen is still in you. Well done

they should have made the victims from another material than wax, so they are unaffected and remain.

anyways, this is way better:

And why should victims remain? Without executors there are no victims.

Very clever and strong link with the symbol of candle, at the same time chocking story amortized throw the way of expression of toys... Nice impressive job! Congrats!

'Death to the death penalty' - Good.

TommyO's picture 1069 pencils

I like the ad, but I don't think the copy (nice copy!) sits well with the clip. It's kinda "melt to the death penalty". No?

esia's picture 156 pencils

No. Because it would be weaker, if you said exactly what you can see. Melting is the symbol for death. Simply good.

Wordnerd's picture 5863 pencils

i'd rather say no copy at all. it's all clear without a word

Nice TV ad but .... why so "many" ads from France for Amnesty International ? Two campaigns, two diferent agencies is this free work for Cannes ????? ( would love to see the TV media planning :-)

Simple ideas are the best !

its nice relation with the candle in the brand.

Appolonia's picture 298 pencils

great ad... but i live in a country that still applies death penalties... i personally don't agree to the "death of the death penalty"...

DU CARALHO!

Thumbs up.

este foarte emoționant.
sper sa sensibilizeze și sa topească cele mai dure inimi!!!!

This is some inspiration! I thank the maker for this beautiful work of art and for their contribution to our planet earth. Great means! Great Purpose

Nice! More imagination on music would have bettered the results! It is rather monotonous now, same beat and pattern throughout.. like a loop. The present pace of music should have been used as the finale. So the BGM would then build up from slow to medium to upbeat (which it is now through out).
Instead of the copy coming up in melted wax, I would have liked only 'death' in wax and the remaining message in solid material / etched in iron or steel letters; conveying the non-melting power of the slogan.

Great stuff, if it's an ad alerting people to the fact Amnesty is against the death penalty. But if it's trying to convince people that it's wong, then it's obvious from the various comments of people on this blog that are pro death penalty, it doesn't work. Great execution tho (lol).

b3n's picture 2 pencils

wow....perfect execution of topic!!!!

that's a very unique execution !!!!!!!!
but the only things that i feel a little bit sad is the music has been used by NBA already.
If they can find another piece of music, all the things will be perfectly unique and special !
