  • This year's advert features Moz, a huge, snoring under-the-bed monster with puppy dog eyes. The director behind Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Michel Gondry, was called in to make the two-minute ad. Aside from working with middle England’s favourite shop he is known for his video collaborations with artists including Radiohead, Björk and Daftpunk. The soundtrack to the advert is a classic Beatles song, Golden Slumbers from the 1969 Abbey Road album, re-recorded by rock band Elbow.

    Christmas 2017 adverts: Debenhams - Black man / White woman; Marks and Spencer - Black father / White mother; John Lewis - Black father / White mother. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there seems to be a common theme running through those three adverts ......

    @TrancetherapyUk Před 6 lety +29

    Nice little story - but I don't get the central message...Lose a Friend This Christmas? Friendship damages your sleep so you'd better let them give you a gift and disappear? It's so much more easy to sleep when your friend abandons you? Keep secret friends in your bedroom and allow them to damage your health? Don't tell your parents about night time alliances (child protection issue with that interpretation)? It smacks of a campaign that has lost its way and run out of ideas - and a creative team that has lost the client and pursued their own indulgence. The twist at the end is frankly bizarre, and christmas is squeezed in as an afterthought. John Lewis you need to rein in your advertising agency - this has let you down rather badly.

    • @emmaw3726
      @emmaw3726 Před 6 lety +10

      I think it's more like 'don't be afraid to make friends with people/things that look different' and then 'if you care about your friends look after them.' - the twist at the end is that when he turns the nightlight off he can see Moz, when he has it on, he can't. So he chooses when he wants to sleep, and when he wants to play. Moz is looking after his friend by letting him sleep.
      Still not as good as a dog bouncing on a trampoline though.

      The monster wasn't real. It was just something that kept him up at night, so he was given the star light thing to help relax him and sleep. Every kid that age gets up several times at night for various reasons, and getting back to sleep is sometimes difficult.
