"It's Halftime in America", page

Not sure if this is the appropriate forum, but to me this is political so i'm putting here. Apparently, at halftime, a commercial aired that starred Clint Eastwood and talked about Detriot making a comeback...and people coming together...and that we can come back as a country and be as strong as ever. I just watched it a few minutes ago, one of the most inspiring commercials I've ever seen to be honest. It's over 2 mins long.

"This country can't be knocked out in one punch...we get right back up again...and when we do...the world is going to hear the roar of our engines."
Here it is:


Just thought I'd share for those who hadn't seen it...like me...and it was nice to see something positive for a change....

That commercial really grabbed me too. I really like the attitude presented. No matter how dark things seem, I cannot help but feel we are not through and there really is hope for a turnaround. Perhaps it's just wishful thinking, but keeping up the good fight is the best most of us can do.

I liked the attitude as well. As i stated, with all the CONSTANT negativity going around, it was certainly nice to see something positive. This country came together and worked together on all levels during WW2...it can be done again....hopefully it doesn't take another WW to do it though.

Fight the Good the Fight....absolutely.

The UNSC would give us a greater goal to begin a high-tech manufacturing sector around the world to take on the Covenant. Not that the Covenant are real, but your video seems to be a bit over-the-top in saying 'America can win' rather than 'We can win'.

"Halftime in America" well guess what, if America wants to struggle alone it will. Tomorrow is another day, maybe America will stop trying to be exceptionally emo about the fact it doesn't control the world through the UN and start playing nice with the rest of the world in terms of economic development.

Really, Clint Eastwood is a great guy, and the commercial has some great production value.

However the message is directed at Americans who wish to rejuvenate their economy. The world needs America to act like a leader, not pretend it's fallen and needs to get back up. America hasn't fallen so far backwards that we're not willing to help.

Indeed, it almost seems as if America only wants to help itself.

Funny, we just watched this ad in school during our "On air promotions and trailers" class. (I'm a TV/Film student)

Great advertisement. You should look for the first one featuring Eminem. While I'm not a big fan of his, the commercial hits hard, I actually thought it was better than the Clint one.
