Exactly where did you hear they had “a banner year”, Harry?
From the PR firm who pays your salary, perhaps?

yah, but i hear chanel had a banner year. i understand that quite a few people like it — especially their loyal customer base. and so, what have you people made lately? grilled cheese? stop being such whiney bitches — it hurts my ears.

Well, Well, It is funny that all u people who are saying this advert/film is crap. It is a very one of the most beautiful advert i have ever seen. I think the people who dont like it dont have any sense of art. Try to think of something like this u r self and then u should know how difficult it is to make something like this.

I saw the ad for the first time at the movies a couple of weeks ago. It’s full of cliches, it’s melodramatic, it’s computer generated, etc, etc. And I frikkin loved it. LOVED IT! My friend and I turned to each other when it ended and could hardly say anything.
Oh get over it. It’s just a fragrance commercial, not a neo nazi manifesto. I’m sure it will do what it was supposed to do — shift product. And I’m sure the shifting of the product will help recoup the outlay. It was never gonna be, or was even supposed to be Citizen Kane. In the meantime I’ll keep watching the download cause the dresses are real pretty, Nicole is gorgeous, the shots are sumptuous and Rodrigo Santoro is one tall drink of water. And I love the music.
And as for the cost? I work in advertising and I can tell you now that Chanel will never have released info on anyones fees or the cost of the ad. The figure will have been invented by some hack at the New York Post.

Well, Sherry and Mary, since you both are writing from the same IP number, your opinions carry less weight than those leaving comments for HONEST reasons.
I suspect you’re some PR flack in the pay of Chanel.
Whatever. It doesn’t matter to me one way or the other. I happen to not think much of the commercial, but maybe there are plenty folks who do.

“blah blah Chanel blah blah blah Chanel blah.“
that kind of buzz only helps Chanel among people who don’t form opinions of their own. in my opinion, the market is changing. people are doing their own thinking more.

To all you people that are down playing this commercial…chanel is getting the last laugh!! becuase not only are you arguing and spending your time talking about it your exposing what you “think is dumb”(the perfume)…so when you think you are doing benifit and putting this masterpiece down you are actually helping them…so who is getting the last laugh…!!
