Very nice. This film is inspired on a short film from a festival called "The Minute Festival". It's really nice. Great idea, from the film maker!

Probably the best movie I've seen in the last year.

With a movie like this two things can happen: One Show or Cannes Lion.

As i said on the top, this ad is based on a short film from Brazil. Here is the link for the original one.

Of course it's in Portuguese, but so that you don't get that lost, here is a little of what happens: "When you are born, two things can happen: you can be a boy or a girl.... If you are a girl, that's OK, but if are boy, you can be a civilian or join the army... If you join the army, one of the two things can happen: you can get hurt or not get hurt. If you get hurt you can me treated by a nurse (woman)... If you fall in love with her, one of the two things can happen: you can have a kid or not have a kid. If you have a kid, two things can happen: it can be a boy or be a girl. If it's a boy, one of the two things can happen: he can be a civilian or join the army."

I hope you like. Watch it, its worth. And probably the first Brazillian movie of your life. But there ar many other good ones.

Yeah, well spotted. Nothing wrong with such inspiration. As somebody said earlier Honda's Cog commercial was based on a short movie too.

Oh shit... exactly the same!
And even if I really think this one will gain at least Silver in Cannes, it reminds me of an old joke I´ve heard: If you die, two things can happen: You go to heaven, or you´ll be reborn. If you´r reborn, two things can happen: You can become an animal, or a plant. If you´r a plant, two things can happen: a tree or a bush. If you´r a tree, two things can happen: You can be made to paper. Or not. If you´r are going to be paper, two things can happen: plain paper, or toilettepaper. If you´r toillettepaper... SHIT.
I know, boring joke! But still a great commercial.

At least SILVER!!!

The films are exactly the same by because the creator of the first one have been involved with this "remake", so this isn't an copy, keep cool. My bet: Gold on Cannes 2007.

theres a difference between inspiration and a direct ripoff.
unless one of the creatives, or director made this short film, its ripped.

How old and crappy this ad looks, especially in the light of Discovery's fantastic 2009 ads.
