"He lies"

When watching Thai short films/commercials made by life insurance companies you can usually be assured of having your heartstrings tugged. A Dad’s Story was no exception. These companies know exactly how to hone in on your tear ducts.

A young daughter and her father are walking as he reads a report she wrote for school. She describes how handsome, kind, generous, and sweet her dad is. He is Superman to her. And then like a punch to the gut he reads the next words, “…but he lies.” In the next minute she narrates how little eyes see everything. Love, sorrow, sacrifice, all rain down in her words.

MetLife didn’t give any answers to life’s hardships and unfairness, simply encouraged people to not give up because children’s futures are worth it. The three minutes of this commercial are also worth watching.

Don´t lie to your kids

Well this was 3 minutes of hope turned to sadness... in this very sweet and oddly touching commercial/assay of a child showing several sides to unemployment, struggles and parenthood, trying to protect ones children from the hardships one goes through but apparently kids know, who would have thought ;)

These are 3 minutes of montages of fatherhood and temp work/struggles accompanied by a child's voice (in english).

Definitely worth 3 minutes of your time, though it is indeed a very good commercial.
