The first time I watched it, it did make me feel...uneasy? Sad? Hard to explain. Watching things we're nostalgic for crushed away hurts in a weird way. A stark reminder that your early years are gone and not coming back. All when the end result is another soulless rectangle slab.
All of that said, I do think many are overreacting, especially those calling for firings all the way up to Cook over it(yes, I really read that, multiple times.) It's just an ad, it didn't physically hurt anyone.
- doubloon 2y agoexactly. like Jordan Peele says the difference between comedy and horror is the music. If you mute the sound on this apple Ad, then play Padme's Funeral Theme as the music instead, its a whole different vibe. It's like watching the death of humanity crushed down into a soulless block of nothing.
- piva00 2y agoJust tried it out and... Yup. Completely different vibe, absolutely soul crushing. It lines up perfectly well if you start playing Padme's Funeral Theme at 0:04 right when the iPad ad starts, even the ending where the iPad is revealed gets an ominous tone.
