One of the most striking observations of this commercial is the repaired violin. In reality a broken violin would hardly make any noise when played. However in this commercial, the viewers are led to believe that it creates the sound of a whole orchestra when played. The fact that the deaf girl repairs the violin in order to carry out her desire to play shows her dedication. The violin symbolizes the beauty of perseverance.
The deaf girl plays a beautiful piece on an instrument that has been reduced to scrap wood and packing tape. Although it is up to the beholder whether there is actually music or not, the reaction of the crowd suggests there is. Why would they clap for a deaf girl who plays a piece on an instrument that makes no noise? The broken violin influences the commercial since it shows that the impossible can be reality. A deaf girl receiving a standing ovation for playing on a reincarnated instrument is an improbable situation. Being deaf and winning a huge musical competition with a salvaged violin is a fairy tale story that would not hold the same impression if the broken violin was absent.
Your main point is great. Your piece was well worded and stylistic.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think Pantene would use this scene in a commercial? Do you think it would help product sales?
