@@RadRogue1 The true part is the inhumane use of straight jackets. Yes, that inspired the filmmakers to make the story. I’m talking about the actual story being fiction. Time travel via morgue drawer doesn’t happen.
I think it was more of a commentary on the likes of Swiss Miss and Cool Whip which are neither technically hot chocolate or whipped cream. But it would be wonderful if it was intended to be poetic :-)
Adrian Brody is the ideal pinnacle of a true actor. He hit an Oscar in the Pianist and now, all he wants to do is have fun. Doesn't matter if the film is bad or good, he just wants some kickass fun in his career and that's really all that matters.
Lmao what, this is a wes anderson commercial who uses the same rotating cast of actors known as the “wes anderson universe”. Adrian is part of that, and anderson wrote the commercial, brody didnt just get to pick this part. This was a carefully written big budget piece that ONLY big actors will lead, his other commercial brad pitt starred in
I really hate H&M, but this is one of the best holiday ads I have ever seen. It’s sophisticated, yet playful and eye-popping. The color-grading and mis-en-scene are spot-on, just like any other Wes Anderson creation, and the soundtrack brings me so much nostalgia. The only thing that would have made this ad better was if it was for another more mature and ethical clothing brand like J. Crew or something. Worth watching in the middle of July.
@@dindamw1 Fast fashion aside, they are really good at pretending to care about its consumers and the environment. That "recyclable" tag they have is one example of how they fool people
Those small details are notable because they tell us a lot. The peeling off of the calendar tells us the day, but the snow suggests the month, and the "not now" line raises tension, telling us an emergency has arisen. They seem like quirks, but they're pieces of the story puzzle, interconnected to everything, setting it all in motion.
Things that are absolutely guaranteed in a Wes Anderson film: a compelling story, stunning visuals, a cast of quirky characters, and a kick-ass soundtrack. Only he could take an advertisement and use his signature style to craft it into something unique and interesting. I love this!
Watching in June and getting choked up. Wes Anderson is the perfect choice for Christmas celebration. Every one of his films has at its heart the capacity for kindness, love and compassion in the midst of adversity, bleakness, human flaws.
I had to analyse this advertisement for an university seminar and I watched the video about a 100 times. I still love everything about this beautiful work of Wes Anderson
it really shows Wes anderson's love of train travel, the Font of the coach on the Opening shot was used by a railroad called the Burington route in the 1930's, the weird yet similar design of the coach itself, and the fact it feels like it's from the 50's,
wes is amazing. his films are story books turned real life. get it? no? well, he's something. Adrien is also such an incredible actor, and so handsome. ugh.
Kubrick’s compositions, Godard’s dolly shots, and a nostalgia for old school Hollywood, particularly musicals and Wes comes out. More so then visuals, his writing and wit is his major contribution to movies. Nearly everything is Wes Anderson humor now and has been since Rushmore.
@mainmanmainlining7575 it's not a matter of you telling the truth or not. It is you being factually incorrect. You not knowing how to support your argument makes me more certain you are an idiot more than your lack of cinematic history.
I love this commercial! There is just something magical to it from the way he grabs the tree and craft supplies while the train is speeding, to the symmetry of the shots. Shows the magic of Christmas and gets me choked up every time
honestly h&m stresses me out but if they had wes anderson and adrien brody offering me a complementary christmas brunch i would shop there 100% well done
Christmas time has arrived, so here I am! One of the most beautiful ads of recent years. Merry Christmas to everyone, although this coronavirus will make the holidays different to everyone.
I’ve noticed a few comments say “this is the type of christmas commercial that I’d watch in the middle of the summer” - here I am watching it in the middle of July, by chance.
That train! That train! Uh! Although it is not a 1:1, that end scene can almost certainly only be modelled after the Cedar Rapids cart of the Skytop Lounge fleet. Amazing short film.
This is such a great commercial! I love the camera work in this! Without even looking at the credits, you can tell it was directed by Wes Anderson because of those angles and pans. It's like something out of his movie DarjeeIing Limited. Since Wes Anderson made two movies with animal characters that was done in the Wind in the Willows style, I would love to see Wes Anderson make a movie that's done in the Thomas the Tank Engine model style; that would be great, and the lack of moving mouths on the characters wouldn't bother me a bit.
the marketing strategies of many companies in recent years have contributed to the development of beliefs centered around the pursuit of wealth, financial independence, and the acquisition of increasingly better and newer goods. This has fueled consumerism. Sustainable consumption should, therefore, involve challenging these beliefs, highlighting the harmful consequences of waste, and developing a proper definition of prosperity that aligns with environmental security as well as the well-being of others. We need to redefine our notion of success and well-being, shifting away from a purely materialistic mindset. True prosperity lies not only in personal wealth but also in the preservation of our natural environment and the welfare of fellow human beings. Let us work together to promote a more sustainable form of consumption that values long-term benefits over short-term gains and fosters harmony between human prosperity and the well-being of our planet.
Its amazing how a single, symmetrical shot featuring Adrian Brody is all you need to see before you know you're watching Wes Anderson.
True story!
@@everybrodymovie , THE JACKET starring Adrian Brody is a true story. 😉
@@RadRogue1 It’s not, actually, but still a good comment. ;)
@@everybrodymovie, it is, look it up! 🤦♂️

Wes Anderson should really make a Christmas movie!
There are few directors better suited for it
He literally just did and you just watched it.
Definitely
That would be magical.
What a great idea!!!🤩
“Chocolate flavored hot beverage with whipped topping”
Only Wes Anderson can make “hot chocolate” sound so beautiful and poetic
I think it was more of a commentary on the likes of Swiss Miss and Cool Whip which are neither technically hot chocolate or whipped cream. But it would be wonderful if it was intended to be poetic :-)
mate hes just using the great value names
I mean that is what it is
Imagine that... poetry is just describing what things are
Y’all mean😂 he coulda just said hot chocolate with whipped cream but he went extra is all I’m saying
@@joshendley But what is hot chocolate

Kind of like Robert DeNiro!
I just know that he looks good in hats
What did Oscar do to deserve getting hit in the pianist?

I wish I could live in a Wes Anderson movie...
Or in a tim burton movie. At least at christmas.
Surprised Adrien Brody wasn’t fighting for a painting in this very short film
The shot of the train car with changing light is insane.

Yeah and we both came here hoping for beatles music but yes Wes Anderson does fantastic as always
I'm sorry to ask, but.. why you hate H&M tho?
just so u know h&m is rated to be more ethical than j crew, both not the best but good to know

This was posted a year ago and here I am, watching it, in the middle of July. 07-13-23
A tale of this disaffected train conductor, the passengers he loves, and the meticulously-planned Christmas party that doesn't go wrong.
Love how the sound changed from hearing him on the mic, to throughout the cabin, then back again. The small details of Wes that are great.
Those small details are notable because they tell us a lot.

Agree!
Spike Lee does that too, watch "Do The Right Thing" and you'll see.
Symmetry, Frame within a frame, lines, tracking, panning, lots of colors all makes a Wes Anderson. I need to find my own signature too.
It'll come, just keep making things :)
@@bashfoal Nice advise.
The carpet in the train gangway (is that the right word?) looks like a train track.
Snow is white
Flakes will rain
Wes Anderson makes me want to ride a train
IKR?
@@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747 yea
And Wes Anderson himself is fascinated with train by Legendary Filmmaker Satyajit Ray.
@@samiulsakib1033 could pls like rephrase i am quite confused by what u said. I am quite interested in Mr ray
@@goatamatix894 Watch Mr Ray's "Nayak", and " Days and Nights in the Forest".

And a train (or a boat)
Watching in June and getting choked up. Wes Anderson is the perfect choice for Christmas celebration. Every one of his films has at its heart the capacity for kindness, love and compassion in the midst of adversity, bleakness, human flaws.
Gross
Not sure if that applies to Hotel Chevalier :)
Wes just flexing on us what he can do in 4 minutes
My fav will always be Darjeeling Limited.
I had to analyse this advertisement for an university seminar and I watched the video about a 100 times. I still love everything about this beautiful work of Wes Anderson
I’m surprised how Wes Anderson agreed to film for a fast fashion company
VIPANDA money honey
That's fine as long as that cash enables him to make more awesome movies.
hm isn't fashion
@@itube0047 What is it?
A shitty shit asshole company that robs people and the earth
I always love it when every MC says "not now" in a wes anderson film. Ex. Grand Budapest hotel.
I watched this in my film class today. It taught me that ads don't have to be funny to be good.
This was not funny? It doesn’t have to be slapstick to be funny. This was very subtle humor.
This man just keeps making me smile more than the girl I love.
To me this is the greatest commercial of all time
My dream feature length movie would be a Wes Anderson Christmas movie
it really shows Wes anderson's love of train travel, the Font of the coach on the Opening shot was used by a railroad called the Burington route in the 1930's, the weird yet similar design of the coach itself, and the fact it feels like it's from the 50's,
He designed some train tourists can ride on in England - I forget the name.
I saw a part of it in TV and I was like "oh my God, that's Wes..isn't is?" ...nice work as always!!(:
Los Javoros yep
I can’t believe I’ve never seen this before! Thank you so much!
why does this make me want to cry?
it's so beautiful for what ever reason,
I love this. Props to Wes Anderson.
That kid at the end always gets me. I love that moment.
Why did I cry? My gosh. Wes is the master at painting a world and inviting you to be part of it.
Yo this is just amazing it felt like a whole movie in 3 minutes
I get choked up when I see this. It's so wonderful and timeless!
I love the Art Deco decoration, that Mint color is so nice, it reminds me of my grandmother's kitchen :(
I just adore Wes 😊 I love his quirky characters and cinematography!
Best commercial ever.
wes is amazing. his films are story books turned real life. get it? no? well, he's something. Adrien is also such an incredible actor, and so handsome. ugh.
Wes Anderson & John Lennon? What a great commercial
I want to live in a Wes Anderson world.

Godard never used a dolly. Everything was hand held as fuck. What you talking about!?
@@dirkdiggler. hahahahahahahaha.
I assure you from the bottom of my heart that your statement is completely and utterly wrong.

This is so sweet and so charming. Captures the very essence of Wes A.
clicked expecting the beatles, found some really cool shots and set design.
Wes anderson best director in history
i highly recommend watching wes anderson trailers or videos before bed they are very soothing for some reason
Dolly track built right into the floor. brilliant!
I love the synopsis: Lone passengers are traveling to join their loved ones for the Christmas holiday, but winter weather conspires to way-lay them.
I like the train, very clean...says a lot about a country😊
This deserves more views
honestly h&m stresses me out but if they had wes anderson and adrien brody offering me a complementary christmas brunch i would shop there 100% well done
Christmas time has arrived, so here I am! One of the most beautiful ads of recent years. Merry Christmas to everyone, although this coronavirus will make the holidays different to everyone.
Wow ok this is now a Christmas tradition. That is the most beautiful up my alley set I've ever seen
This makes me cry and I love it so much
I watch this every Christmas ⛄🎁
Ever since it was made . It's a part of my holiday 🎄🎉 love it . 💯
Watching this makes me want to watch one of his films 🎥 in the process of watching every film he’s made
So sweet
That flipping song ALWAYS gets me😢
This is the last crossover I ever expected
I forgot that this was an ad
We need another one of these Xmas ads,right now❤️🎄
Had to look at this again. Totally love it!
From Tiktok, looked for the soundtrack. I found Wes. Great short movie for the holiday.
This is literally what Wes Anderson can do in 3:53 minutes
Such a simple set up but so so effective and instantly recognizable as wes
Id love to do a short film inspired by his story sometime soon
It's not Christmas time but I love you and I'm so proud you made it here. Please keep going.
This commercial is the only one to both entertain me and compel me to buy something.
I’ve noticed a few comments say “this is the type of christmas commercial that I’d watch in the middle of the summer” - here I am watching it in the middle of July, by chance.
wes anderson movie check list:
Aidrian Broady *tick*
train *tick*
Owen wilson: tick
the final just wud. everything was going phenomenal.
That train! That train! Uh! Although it is not a 1:1, that end scene can almost certainly only be modelled after the Cedar Rapids cart of the Skytop Lounge fleet. Amazing short film.
Cannot believe I'm willingly watching an ad
Not just any ad! (As M & S in the UK would say!) A Wes Anderson ad!
Absolutely LOVED it!
this is just Wes Anderson flexing what he is able to do in just 3 minutes and 52 seconds
honestly forgot this was an h&m ad
Good choice of song at the beginning. I'm know little of Wes Anderson's work but I will say in this case, "Well done, sir."
You should watch all of his films. You'll love them. "Fox" & "Dogs" are at the top of the list. Then watch Rushmore and everything else in order.
I've seen all his work save Rushmore and Darjeeling, and I loved every single one of them.
Well it's that time of the year..and I'm here!..again!... ✌🏻🌝
Btw, if anyone's wondering what the Christmas Carol is/who it's performed by, it's The Little Drummer Boy by Harry Simeone Chorale.
This is such a great commercial! I love the camera work in this! Without even looking at the credits, you can tell it was directed by Wes Anderson because of those angles and pans. It's like something out of his movie DarjeeIing Limited. Since Wes Anderson made two movies with animal characters that was done in the Wind in the Willows style, I would love to see Wes Anderson make a movie that's done in the Thomas the Tank Engine model style; that would be great, and the lack of moving mouths on the characters wouldn't bother me a bit.
Omg the symmetry is making me melt
❤ This is a masterpiece! 🎉 A delight!
This is my first time to have a feeling of his movie since I can't found his movie on TH-cam.😢
Makes choc. flav. beverage with whipped topping sound tempting.
Beautiful as always 💕
Merry Christmas 2020 let's all come together. Good will to all mankind and peace on earth.
Thats so cooool!!!
Thank you and God bless you
Perfect way to promote the throw-away lifestyle.
I really wish he’d just make a full movie out of this set up.
Perfect perfect trailer. Didn't notice any of the H&M clothing, unless they're selling train conductor's outfits now
so beautiful..
I promised myself I would not re-watch this until December... Promise broken :(
Promise broken again
And Again !!
Beautiful!
“Come together with the Generous Employees.”
Rated R.
Dawwwwwwww my gawd!!!! Hahaha brilliant
I like how it played happy xmas by john lennon
I forgot it was an HNM ad so i was shocked at the end with the logo
This probably had a bigger budget then most of his feature films.
honestly this is great but the h&m clothes don't really fit in with the whole aesthetic of the short
Margaux Audy that’s what I’m saying
How could anyone give this a thumbs down!? Bah humbug you miserable lot!!
I tought it is in come together by The Beatles, but no it is in happy xmas from John Lennon. Thats we call paradox😂
Can you imagine how much this cost? Awesome.
I love the songs he chose
