    fantastic imaginative piece of work... love how familiar it all is - in fact, totally normal in its bizarre construction of a world where branding has moved beyond simply ubiquitous and actually taken on a life of its own.

    Has anyone written about, or have the fimmakers commented about how this was made? I don't mean technically but legally. I understand that they are likely relying on Fair Use for legal cover, but I want to know if any of these companies have threatened legal action. I haven't been able to find any background on it. If anyone knows please message me here on vimeo or just put it here in the comments. I'm very curious and I'm sure others are too.

    This is offensive. Sorry.
  • Marcelo Pereira 2 years ago
    Offensive is your life. Do us a favor and drop dead, stupid shit head.
  • Rich Fueller 2 years ago
    Really, dude?
    I appreciate how well this piece was executed, and love the way it looks but its overall theme seems offensive in that it is French-made and conveys a very narrow-minded view of America. It actually feels a little like propaganda even though it is clearly intended as satire with some nice cultural homages.
    The idea of someone from another country attempting to sum up my own is generally an annoying thing and I don't think that's just true for Americans like me.
    Since you are Brazilian, I'm sure you know how that feels. I am married to a Brazilian and recently visited there and one thing Brazilians cannot stand is Americans having pre-conceived notions about their country or their people. If an American made a short film that take place in Brazil, and everyone in it was an Amazonian tribesman or a kidnapping drug lord, you would be offended no matter how well it was done.
    And I feel i need to point out that Vimeo is a great community for serious adults to share their work and opinions. Your obnoxious slander has no place here. So do us all (those of us on this site) a favor and don't post asinine comments like this.

    Você entendeu?
  • Neil Moger 2 years ago
    Rich, really - I dont know where to start my friend - that really was the biggest pile of pseudo-cultural crap.

    I completely disagree with your analysis of the piece; your conclusions are facile and simplistic.

    Yes, there's some satire, but to accuse the filmmakers of propanda is just priceless...

    And re. France - I think you could do with spending some time there you really need to learn the meaning of free speech and a healthy cynicism towards the people who rule our lives...

    oh and btw writing "Offensive is your life. Do us a favor and drop dead, stupid shit head. " is libel, not slander...
  • Over Due 1 year ago
    Neil, I doubt you've spent more time in France than visiting the sites.
    As an American who's been living and working in Paris for more than 10 years now, I can assure you that Rich knows what he's talking about.
    Not a day goes by in my job (a job which allows me to meet a wide cross section of people) that a French person will make either a simplistic, uneducated comment on America(ns) or a vehement anti-American statement.
    Just today I encountered an otherwise nice enough guy, who said "I want make money the way you Americans do!" he thought I would be happy to hear that?!

    Meanwhile, French oil and mineral workers are getting kidnapped in Nigeria nearly daily, and no one here is questioning what Areva, Suez, and TotalFinaElf are doing there?
  • Neil Moger 1 year ago
    Hi OVer due - I think ur off the point - this is not a question of whether some french can be guilty of self important, simplistic and superior attitude towards the US, which I can well believe - this is purely and simply a question of whether Richs' response was appropriate with regards to this piece of work; which it wasnt. It was silly.
  • Thefrank 1 year ago
    Man... only from an American. 1- at least a third of all companies portrayed in this clip are non-american multi-nationals... starting with the Michelin guys. By quickly looking at it, I saw at least 30 Canadian companies (my home). 2- To Ever Due: I worked and lived in the US ... and has much as you are most likely right in hearing simplistic comments about the USA ... believe me i kept hearing very simplistic, very uneducated comments about the rest of the world ... starting from the comment " The USA is the best country in the world" coming from people who have never even been outside hier own country.

    I don't think speaking without knowing the facts has anything to do with being anti-american or anti-the rest ...

  • Kyan James 8 months ago
    it's not attacking America, its poking fun at consumer and corporate culture - which is a global phenomenon/pathology. And in a way its not even really doing that, because after a while you watch the logos in such a natural way that it almost becomes post-ideological. And that's why it won an Oscar.
