i tried to remain objective and upbeat about this commercial. after all, i am not in the mood for campaigning yet.
but i just watched it a second time and i just have to comment. this ad sucks big time for so many reasons.
1. hillary is dressed professionally; bill looks like a shlump. obviously she's the professional and he's the casual, relaxed bubba boy. this indicates disrespect for males. the woman is in charge. she knows what she's doing. he doesn't.
2.the carrots on the table. she says authoritatively, "i ordered for the table," looks over with a WISE and superior nod. he whines, "no onion rings?" she says, "just lookin' out for you." again, we see the obvious connection with the nation. we can just imagine the superior schoolmarm with that "i know better than you" attitude, looking down her nose at the rest of us regarding health care, military action, higher taxes, school reform, etc. THERE WILL BE NO ONION RINGS ON HILLARY'S WATCH.
3. they're terrible phony actors. the music is the only thing that carries the action.
4. the song sucks BIG TIME. it is written and sung by a canadian.
5. the song is not inspiring. it conveys all the fears we have about hillary....the fear that she, the flying hawk, will scoop us all up into her claws and take us places we DON"t want to go, but we won't be able to help it because we are only the little "you" of the you and IIIIIIIIII of the song.
6. the song is an older chick song. once again, its choice conveys that the opinions of men are not needed or wanted.
7. overall, i'd say this commercial stinks.
good ananlysis.
Spot-on analysis!
I’ve never seen the Sopranos, so when I saw this video, I was sitting there, thinking WTF is this? My reactions were the same as yours - Hillary DOES think she is superior to the rest of us & that she knows what is best for us. I think that Bill looked tired and like he had given up on everything - he looked neutered.
Hillary is also the worst actress I’ve ever seen - she can’t even ACT like she has a personality!
