🎄Tracy, the granddaughter, is the true hero of this short film (ad). She possesses a Christly love in many respects: She observes her little cousins being a bit freaked out by grandma’s catatonic state; she overhears her mother & grandfather discussing his challenges of bad days; she watches as her family maneuvers around grandma as if she’s a piece of furniture. & then she takes action! She tells her grandmother: “Let’s make it a good day…” Tracy probably doesn’t expect anything more than giving the former matriarch of her large family the gift of retaining some dignity by going on a drive around their home town in gramp’s old Chevy truck - but something magical happens… Tracy points out various spots around town where she was born & raised, & grandma slowly starts to recognize images that conjure up old memories. The most poignant moment in this Chevy ad is when grandmother & granddaughter sit parked in an abandoned drive-in movie theater lot where it’s revealed she first kissed her husband Bill, & as she & Tracy sing along to a John Denver 8-track - the power of love & music reconnects her to this world. 🎶 “Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy / Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry…” “Bill?” she ejaculates. “I need to see Bill! He can’t do dinner alone!” Tracy drives home & when she pulls up front, Bill steps off the farmers porch & climbs into the truck, & then with teary eyes & trembling hands he pulls her face in for a kiss & she kisses him back. Tracy, through a selfless & loving act, has brought her grandmother back from the underworld like a modern day Orpheus, reuniting her grandparents. Amor vincit omnia! Sometimes the power of love can, indeed, conquer all. & that’s why Tracy is truly the hero of this story - a hero we all should emulate. It’s humanity’s only hope & salvation. ✝️
I spent many years as a psych RN and Memory Care Coordinator. Music is at the top of the list for bringing someone back, even for a little while. I am going to keep this one forever. I could not have said it better.
@@GSLeadermom70105 I watched Lawrence welk with my Grandfather aka (papa) when I was little and even stood on his toes and danced. 🩷 Then when he moved in with us as a teenager my favorite thing to do with him every night was to watch LW with him. Today as an adult with my own children, I find myself still putting on old reruns & dance just to get those old memories back. I loved him so very much and he was the greatest human being I have ever known. He always made me & my twin sister feel so special.
This by far is the finest five and a half minutes of television ever broadcast! Truly magnificent! Well done Chevy. This hit home for many, and it is appreciated! Merry Christmas!
We lost our mom earlier this year to Alzheimer’s. We had an orange carryall and listened to John Denver growing up so all of this combined into one video had me crying. Happy holidays to all.
DURING MY GRANDFATHER'S LAST DAYS, HE WAS VERY OFTEN "OUT OF TOUCH" AND WHEN HE WAS UP TO IT, I TOOK HIM FOR A RIDE. HE LOVED SEEING HOUSES BEING BUILT, SO WE FOUND THEM AND WATCHED INDENTLY, THEN WE ATE BURGERS IN THE CAR, AND HE WAS MORE LUCID AS WE TALKED. IT WAS THOSE RIDES WHERE I WAS WITH MY GRANDPA AGAIN! THANK YOU CHEVY!
This powerful commercial needs to be seen and reseen. Thank you Chevy for this touching illustration of what it means to be present for others, even when they cannot be present for us. I look forward to seeing the "viewed" numbers climb and climb on this treasure.
This is mine and my mom’s favorite commercial because we lost my grandma not too long ago from dementia and this brings me to tears because this always reminds me of my grandma
Que lindo😍😍 Parabéns a Chevrolet pelo comercial, trazendo a verdadeira essência do Natal para as pessoas... O mundo está tão vasio de amor. É sobre isso. Obrigado, obrigado Chevrolet❤❤🙏🏼😄😄Congratulations. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕Please make these commercials here for Brazil too.🙏🏼 thanks
Estou emocionada demais. Meu pai sempre amou a Chevrolet. Tivemos 2 Opala e 4 Caravan. Ele faleceu em 2008. Minha mãe tem Alzheimer. Essa marca faz parte da memoria aferiva da família. O comercial merece ganhar todos os prêmios. Parabéns à equipe de criação pela sensibilidade e delicadeza. 👏👏👏👏⭐️🥇⭐️🇺🇲
I live 20 minutes from Holly. Awesome town. Home of the Bronchos. I love sharing my story about Holly. th-cam.com/video/4tu8VliMWf8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8S_QBDwA-TbeX31c
WOW, what a tearjerker, what a precious family, and an amazing message.....Yes, an award-winning avertisement! Just profoundly touching on so many levels.....Thank you to my precious cousin David for sharing this with me....
Cutting onions here…hits home, my 88 year old dad just died, this is the first Xmas without him, and it’s killing me…he was my best friend, the man I ALWASY admired and looked up to. Now it’s just me, and my 91 year old mom…I’m doing everything I can to help her after such a loss (dementia, and Alzheimer’s runs on both sides of my family, killing so many it stabs like a knife), but they were together for 68 years. I can’t take away her pain and heartbreak…if your parents are still alive, please, drop everything and hugs them right now! Tell them how much you love them, how much they mean to you, because once they’re gone, at no matter what age, knowing you’ll never be able to hold them and kiss them again is the most painful thing you could ever imagine….but great video Chevy…for a moment, I relived some happier memories before things took a turn for the worst. Cherish your loved ones, and never take them for granted ❤️😰❤️😰❤️😰❤️
Lost my grandfather(moms dad) from Lewy body dementia 2 years ago. Didn’t spend Enough time with him till the end when the dementia was bad. I miss him so much. I am also a CNA specializing in memory care
OMG 😢😢😢 We lost our mom to Alzheimer’s 3 years ago, thank you Chevy for such an amazingly heartfelt commercial. Now excuse me while I grab a box of tissues… 😢🩷
Wow. That’s just astounding storytelling. To have the courage to have a human story communicate the values you have as a company. Cynics will say it’s advertising and shameless tugging at heartstrings. But the story told in the short film is a real one. And just amazingly powerful and beautiful on every level. Bravo, Chevrolet 👏
This is why the Suburban is the greatest vehicle ever, and always will be. It represents exactly this. Think how many life-saving memories are made in them for people like this, in 90 years uninterrupted. This is a gorgeous ad, but think how often things like this happen without ending up on a TV. The memories, the music, and the people are the best part. But people overlook the car. Without it, these critical moments wouldn't happen like they do.
I remember when my dad died, at the reception was a guy from my dad’s old neighbourhood, the went to lower school with. He really hadn’t kept up my dad, but saw the notice in the paper and thought he would drop by. My dad died a month short of his 90th…anyway this visitor told me stories about when they were kids…and at that point I realized that I had never thought of my dad as a little boy, running around our town, exploring, getting into trouble, etc…when ‘grandma’ has the high school flash back, I thought of how we never think of the people we know, about the different stages of life they have gone through….
About to have my niece show this to my dad. My mom has onset dementia and this vid will help him understand a bit. Watched this vid again and the emotions erupted. Beautiful vid. Thanks.
If I could go back in time and see my grandparents I would!!! They are alll gone now, but if I could just get a day visit with them or take them out to dinner and hear their stories when they were young, I could. I love how the young girl wants to spend time with her Grandma and take her down memory lane.❤
@@petermacdonough9077 I would love to spend time with my grandparents again too! I was very fortunate that we grew up in a home across the street from my grandparents. They were a huge part of my life. It makes me sad to think they never met my children. They would’ve just loved them and my children would’ve just loved their great grandma and great grandpa too.
My wife passed 1.13.24 of brain cancer and exhibited similar traits ....😢....I cared for her in her last month's....This commercial touches a deep nerve.....sharing memories she did and couldn't remember...😢
Excellent. Period. Sometimes commercials have a greater purpose. Decades ago in Canada, the Bell company produced a one-minute vignette about a late-teen grandson visiting a WW2 site where his grandfather had fought and then calling his grandfather right from there just to say thanks. The Bell corporate logo only appeared for the last 5 seconds. Canadians still talk about it. I hope this Chevy commercial enjoys the same longevity.
Not only because of the car, but because of the content that the commercial gave us about the importance of family. Today the media does not value family. Congratulations Chevrolet ❤
This commercial made me cry everytime; It made me emotional because of my granny, she has a mental illness like this, not exactly alzheimer, It’s more like a insanity 💔😭🥹
Os carros antigos e as músicas antigas tem um poder mágico....minha mãe com Alzheimer não lembrava de mais nada ....até o dia que viu um VW Beetle azul e gritou: O carro da auto escola! Para para! O primeiro carro que ela dirigiu....😢😢 em outubro de 2021 ela se foi...😢😢😢
oh wow. My mom is currently going through memory issues. It's killing me inside. I know she hates it. She keeps calling herself "stupid". I want to just vomit every time she stumbles. When you are a kid and growing up. In my case, I just thought my mom and dad always had an answer to problems we faced. But now they are in their 80's and even though I'm a quadriplegic with my own physical struggles, I try to take care of them. Just just don't know if I'm doing it right. uggg. why am I venting this online? lol Therapeutic I guess talking to a void and strangers.
I’m not sure triggering people to tears who are grieving the loss of a family member who suffered from this horrible condition is good to do in order to market a product. For many who lived out this nightmare with their loved one it is just cruel. Especially when their final years were spent not being able to walk, verbalize words, drink liquids and definitely not recognizing others with any meaningful facial expressions.
I graduated from high school the year this song came out, which means I just turned 70. I am nowhere near as tottering as depicted here, thank you very much. (Although there is nothing wrong with any age, or aging itself.) There were also hardly any drive-in movies left by the time I was in high school, they were sparse relics even then. So, as with all depictions of the "old," it would be interesting to know who wrote this and what they considered research. Someone who experiences regular heartwarming multi-generational (multi-blond) Christmases and can cure alzheimers with a Chevrolet, I suppose.
Wow, talk about negativity. I’m not far from I’m age and I clearly remember drive-in movies. Maybe it’s the part of the country one comes from… back In Michigan they were still around in 1974. I’m sorry, but this was not a documentary but an extremely heartfelt commercial that touched so many hearts - the hearts like mine who lost a mother, grandmother or any family member to that insidious disease!
We have a friend who is barely 70 and in serious decline from Alzheimer’s. Another friend is 68 and uses a walker to a serious neurological disorder. I suggest you look at the heartfelt message of love and family instead of picking apart small details. I hope you’re not always so critical of life. Merry Christmas.
My goodness. I can’t believe your comments about a very touching commercial. Lately my husband and I are amazed by the loud and obnoxious ads we see. Often we look at each other and say “What was that commercial advertising?” By the way, we’ve been married 54 years and we went to drive-in movies on our first date and many others in the Milwaukee WI area. And….really who cares if all the depictions are 100% correct. It was a kind and gentle and rare ad that touched many people.
Gonna be honest, I thought I'd clicked on a commercial from the 90s or something. An all white family is pretty rare to see in any and all advertising.
No it isn't. Don't need to have mixed people in all commercials and programs. This is what this person grew up with so the PC crap doesn't need to be incorporated everywhere. Great production.
I didn’t take it that way at all… the whole commercial is about reminiscing. I thought they were being nostalgic because of the many memories we all have of playing in the snow when we were young, and now that we’re older we don’t get excited about it the way we did then. We’re not making newer recent memories of those fun snowy days, which makes it seem like it doesn’t snow as much. Just my take.
@@emmysmom9601 2:29: It never seems to snow as much as it used to. That was the grand daughter with her climate activism. They shot the commercial in the fall with leaves all over the ground. The commercial still is nice and nostalgic, that part ruins it
This commercial deserves an award. Thank you for making me cry 🙂
You are so right! It made me cry because it was so true and touched my heart
You got me crying at work. I miss my grandmothers.
I lost my mom to Alzheimers and now my dad has it. Beautiful story
My old chevy is like a time machine every time I get in it,God I miss my america.
Me too.
this goes beyond advertising… this is important storytelling…. well done Chevrolet. well done!
One never knows what will trigger a memory - a song, a picture, a story.

True
No, Christ would just sit around and let things unfold, for better or worse. Love like this requires a human with a heart.
Well said David...👏
Happy Holidays to You and Your Family!
I spent many years as a psych RN and Memory Care Coordinator. Music is at the top of the list for bringing someone back, even for a little while. I am going to keep this one forever. I could not have said it better.
I lost my sister to Alzheimer’s. Music was always a touchstone.
She remembered the lyrics to EVERY song from the 60s and 70s.
I worked with Alzheimer’s patients and I remember playing the Lawrence Welk tv show on the weekends. So many of them “woke up” while the show was on.
@@GSLeadermom70105 I watched Lawrence welk with my Grandfather aka (papa) when I was little and even stood on his toes and danced. 🩷 Then when he moved in with us as a teenager my favorite thing to do with him every night was to watch LW with him.

My dad had Alzheimer’s and this brought back my memories of him. Thank you Chevy for a beautiful touching commercial.
Most heart warming commercial ever ❤
I love our country, our people, our history. Good and bad. We’re a good people and blessed. So blessed.
This old veteran got teary-eyed

I have watched this no less than 10 times, I LOVE IT! it's so moving and touching and I've cried each time... JUST BEAUTIFUL!
Congratulations, spetacular video, wonderful music, valuable message.
I LOVE this commercial!
I watch it every time I'm on TH-cam

We lost our mother 3 1/2 months ago to dementia. Thank you so much Chevy for such a heartfelt commercial. 😢
😢❤
When Alzheimer’s is part of your life it seems like you’ve lost your love one even before they pass. It’s a sad disease.
Best Christmas ad I've seen in years. This and the Sainsbury 1914 Christmas Truce ad are the best.
Beautiful message. Care and compassion can act wonders on a sick person - especially on one affected by such an awful disease.
This is mine and my mom’s favorite commercial because we lost my grandma not too long ago from dementia and this brings me to tears because this always reminds me of my grandma
Beautifully touching commercial... Thank you for sharing.
A Hug from Brazil... and thankyou!!! 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
my grandmother had a stoke and could barely talk or make a sentence. 2023 Christmas was the last time I ever saw her. Love you grandmaw.
This is another really really really good and touching and happy commercial❤
Love and tears.
Wow!!! Great commercial!!! Lost my grandma to Alzheimer’s 4 years ago!!! I felt this commercial deep!!!
I love this. I hope it won an award. Absolutely the BEST commercial ever. I cry every time I see it. My mom has dementia. 😢❤

If this doesn't touch you, there's something missing in your soul.
Hard to believe Tom Hooper (Director of Cats 2019) directed this short film.

3:02 The real name of that place is the "Ford Wyoming" But chevy digitally changed it for an obvious reason.

Very sensitive ad
I’m not sure triggering people to tears who are grieving the loss of a family member who suffered from this horrible condition is good to do in order to market a product.
