Nine days ago I showed you my favorite car commercial of all time. This is a shorter version. If you watch both, you will also notice the voice-over of the minister on this one, as well as a shuffling of the characters at the end. Does it change what you think might happen next?

I’ve actually used this VW commercial “Big Day” to teach the concepts of plot, character, and theme. It’s a classic. You may recognize actor Kevin Rahm from Desperate Housewives (among other roles) as the lead. There are at least two versions of this commercial with ever so slightly different endings. If I find the other, I’ll show you.
