10 Adverts Featuring Film Stars That Didn't Actually Suck

5. Kate Beckinsale & Orlando Bloom €“ Gap

gap Brazen. That would be the best way to describe this advert by the people over at GAP. When they are not busy exploiting impoverished third-world children in sweatshops (just kidding), they like to make a clear statement with their advertising. This short and straightforward clip of two beautiful celebrities being chased down the street by fans is as simple as its black and white colouring. GAP are saying this: we have celebrities in our clothes, because we know people will imitate them. Just like the hordes chasing Kate Beckinsale and Orlando Bloom, so do we all chase the celebrity image. That is why, if you look closely, everyone is sporting a look equal to or a duplicate of Kate and Orlando.

Part critic-part film maker, I have been living and breathing film ever since seeing 'Superman' at the tender age of five. Never one to mince my words, I believe in the honest and emotional reaction to film, rather than being arty or self important just for cred. Despite this, you will always hear me say the same thing - "its all opinion, so watch it and make your own." Follow me @iamBradWilliams
