12 Japanese TV Commercials Movie Stars Don't Want You To Find

5. Daniel Day Lewis €“ Some Form Of Mineral Water

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KK9BSjuoGE The greatest actor in the world, the modern Olivier, the legendary Daniel Day Lewis, was born on the night of the collision of several stars a million light years hence, their combined celestial energy bending time and space to bless his birth like a better, brighter Jesus. He€™s also a notoriously picky method actor that€™s only performed in five films in the last seventeen years and stays in character throughout the entirety of a shoot. That€™s why, in this advertisement for some form of mineral water„, when he takes a handful of that clear spring water and tells us, the ghost of a smile upon his lips, that €œit€™s pure€ in that strangely pitched, odd cadence, we believe him utterly. Who wouldn€™t? He€™s captivating in the role. Oscar! But was it? Was it pure? Perhaps the smile was a choice, a nod to an audience familiar with his work, the deeper narratives constantly being played out in every gesture, every quirk of the eyebrow. Dear god. The water isn€™t pure. It isn€™t pure at all. I€™m so confused.
