It's a commercial. It's a bank telling people to dream. To dream big. And borrow money to do it.
Of course it is inspiring. Many well paid ad experts pieced together numerous visual images to tug at our hearts to associate happiness with that bank. Overlay the music and wa la.

Yes, it is a commercial for TC BANK (Taiwan Commercial Bank?)....which appears at the very end. But it isnt endorsing a product per se (like a brand of motorcycles). Still a great video-mercial encouraging us to dream.

That was so beautiful! The feeling you get while riding a motorcycle can be one of the best.

It's never too late.

Years ago marketers began to realize that the hard sell was losing it's desired effect. They realized the underlying need of consumers to feel good. So they began to make this kind of associative propaganda piece.
Stir their hearts, entertain them and make the subtle association with the product.

There is meaning and philosophy in this. The meaning is that we now take commercials as something valuable. We are asked how does this make make us feel and how can we make this commercial better. The meaning is that the marketing arm of the worldwide corporate beast has insinuated it's tentacles into our very minds and we no longer know it. We just go ooooh and ahhhhh.

The philosophy here is simple. There's a sucker born every minute.

Beautiful. But it bolsters my point.

Pumping beautiful fear into our adrenaline flow to sell us life insurance.

Listen to that music......designed to tug at our heart strings. This is an expensive and well crafted piece of corporate propaganda.

Advertising has been going on for so long that it slips right through our ability to filter and evaluate the flow of information into our minds.

This website is for discovering conspiracies and how they are perpetrated on us. If we don't understand advertising when it manipulates our minds we don't have a chance

Sorry.
