A Catholics Come Home ad.
I like the way the people's lives are set before them as faded vintage home movies, only with sound. I love the intent and the presentation, but -- what exactly is supposed to be happening?
The first man's age and confusion suggest that he might be dying or newly dead when he wanders into the hangar (or is it a barn?) and sits down in the armchair to watch himself yelling at his wife back in the 60s. But many of the other people (well, not the girl who sees herself shooting up) are statistically unlikely to find themselves dying.
So -- are they all just looking back on their lives, before it's too late, to ask Jesus to "edit" them and "give them the ideal ending"? What is the hangar and how did they all get there, one by one?
Not the most important thing about the ad, but it distracts.
Anyway, I still like it.
