Default The Story of a Sign

I ran across this short film that is well worth a watch and I would love to hear your impressions of it

HISTORIA DE UN LETRERO (THE STORY OF A SIGN)

While probably not the main point of the film, it goes to show that the way things are expressed can greatly influence the way you behave and why advertising probably affects you a lot more than you ever realize.

how does the phrase go? "the pen is mighty"? something like that... It's why I've always respected writers who can draw out your emotion. You might say, rather than writing to you, they write for you.... specifically. When you find someone who's writing does that for you, it's a great day.... buy all of their books you can find, and you'll be happier for it every time you pick it up.
