Flamebait and Trolls go away.
Many of us have seen the "This is living" tv adverts produced for/by Sony to produce interest in the PS3. What most of us did not expect is for the adverts to be extremely deep in stylization, methaphors and symbolism to represent the message being delivered. In total there are six adverts (not in order):
This is living: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r9ETMe8yMA

Underbelly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmZzqP0fWsc
Grenade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Id56tGDRKrQ
Keiji: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmnytr72et4
Real time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXb5xq817zM
And a website: http://www.thisisliving.tv/
While I have yet to check out all the adverts and much of the website, I'm still quite in the dark to what the intentions are/were with these. So watch the adverts, check out the website, state your thoughts and use references so the rest of us can watch and discuss.
Given the huge number of trolls, illiterate, and flamers, lets try to keep it nice, and keep it on topic. If you can't do that, you'll simply be making it obvious that you could not pass a college and/or univeristy Arts program first year film course.
Thanks.
*edit*
There is no right answer, and very few wrong ones. Please try to backup your thoughts and reasoning, and try not to take offense in people constructively disagreeing with you.
