Imagining the Future of Advertisements
I recently ran across this. It is a compilation reel of all of the ads created SPECIFICALLY for the film "Children of Men".
Okay, weird on several levels:
1. The had to hire a real agency to create all of these ads, like doing "market research" for "the future". Proving my original hypothesis that all real "market research" is about as valid as tarot card readings.
2. They are ads... FROM THE FUTURE.
3. In a future plagued by infertility and chaos, the only noticeable difference are the there are now ads for suicide.
4. Future. Infertile. Chaos. Jackets for Dogs. It's like a reverse timeline for the destruction of our civilization.
Off subject for a second, if you haven't seen this movie already you are missing out. It's the perfect marriage between entertainment and artistic expression.
