Watch It: VW Jetta "Big Day" Commercial
Over at Yarn-A-Go-Go, Rachael posted the best music video ever for containing internal and external conflict as well as character motivation and hand-to-hand combat in a six minute video. That's HARD.
But my personal favorite "best video ever" is a commercial which I think accomplishes this is under a minute (sans hand-to-hand combat) with a cliffhanger that left me screaming.
The music is gorgeous. I was half in love with Kevin Rahm, the actor in the car, by the end of it. Less than sixty seconds, and I absolutely cared about him and wanted to know what happened next. Hell, what happened before.
Even though this commercial aired nearly nine years ago, I still remember it and think about it from time to time.

Oh, God, I'd almost forgotten about that. But not quite. Really? That long ago? That's a whole movie. Right there.
Call it a draw?
Yes, my choice may have more views, thanks largely to teenage girls and myself, but yours keeps everyone up at night. I totally remember this too. Sigh.
Totally remember this and love it. Hey, I think Jenny knows the "bride."
you're right-- that IS a good commercial!!
great music. I got goosebumps...
he looks like Hugh Grant. Kinda sorta, with that half open mouth.
loved it! what's more awesome is that when you google "VW Jetta Big Day", you get this blog as #1 listing!
