今年二月,瑞典的地下鐵出現一個很酷的洗髮精廣告。每當車經過的時候,廣告中的女人長髮就會隨風飄逸。而最近,通勤族則看到類似的手法廣告,但卻十分震撼人心。
Back in February, a clever Swedish subway shampoo ad, in which a woman's long hair blows around her face whenever a train arrives, went viral. Recently, subway commuters spotted a new ad that uses the same windblown concept, but adds a powerful twist.
這個廣告在一開始就抓住所有人的注意力,最後更出現一個完全想像不到的廣告結局。我們不想要破梗,所以請你先看看這個影片吧!
This PSA captures the subway-riding viewers' reactions to the unexpected ending. We don't want to spoil anything or diminish the effect of the video, so please take a moment to watch for yourself.
這正是瑞典兒童癌症基金會所播放的廣告。廣告中揭露出癌症病童因病掉光頭髮的狀況,也期望各界募款。
影片中看廣告的人的反應也表顯出人們對應癌症兒童的反應。世界上每年就有175,000個兒童被診斷出有癌症,而我們都只是”看到“而已。
The Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation sponsored this ad to highlight some of the devastating effects of cancer on kids and implore individuals to donate to the organization.
The stunned reactions of the people in the video really say it all. When globally about 175,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year, we are all onlookers to this "hair-raising message."
JL碎念:
很震撼人的廣告。
記得大學時有個教經濟學的老師,他時常說到他那三歲就被診斷出有癌症的兒子,經過無數次的化療,在五歲過世。時隔多年,我依然常常想起那位老師的神情,他在課堂上,像是在問學生,像是在自言自語地問了一個問題:你會不斷不斷的思考,到底為什麼佛祖這麼慈悲的話,會讓這樣一個純潔的小孩子去得這麼痛苦的病痛呢?
這問題,我想我永遠答不出來。。。
