    Saw this a little while ago and I agree, it's excellent.

    [Once again, it goes to show that foreign commercials tend be better than American ones.] ;D

    I was almost moved to tears.

    Brilliant. Simple and profound.

    Shared on fb. Had to be done.

    It's not bad, but maybe I'm slow, because it took me forever to realize it was supposed to be a first-person viewpoint, which meant that I spent most of the ad confused. Still, it's a very good rhetorical technique.

    Hm.. am I the only one that wasn't that thrilled with it?

    It's a good ad, but it didn't elicit the same reaction in me as it seems to have for others here (and elsewhere). Maybe it would've been more effective if I didn't know beforehand that it was about a gay couple.

    I am glad it is not sent out to England. I would be crying every time it was on.

    Still a beautiful advert though
