Different words

A moving little ad, with nary any commercial content. Until you hear the accents (or recognize the architecture) you don't realize it's framed in Scotland.

That's nice. Cheers Dale.

Well, it made me think.

**WillieMacG** · 10th July 11, 10:43 AM

Very good!

**LANCER1562** · 10th July 11, 01:04 PM

All I can say is WOW!

**tulloch** · 10th July 11, 01:52 PM

That is very moving. So true.

A great piece. Really makes you think about how important our choice of words can be...

Very poignant. My eyes were injured in the military (I tell folks that I have just enough vision to get myself into trouble).) Anyway, I asked my wife to read the text to me. We both found the message and the video quite touching. Thanks for posting it.

Interesting that this is an acknowledged commercial re-make of a Cannes award-winning Spanish short film:
"Historia de un letrero" (The Story of a Sign) by Alonso Alvarez Barreda

IMHO the Scottish version is better edited and trimmed to the essentials, and has more impact. It also has about 10 times the views on YouTube.
