I'm studying Mass Communication major in Broacasting. For me, Commercial man" is a very wonderful film. Our professor let us watch this film and told us to make a reaction paper. (as usual). Anyway, it just shows reality. Though there are some dull scenes there, Their advertising escapades really made a blast to all the viewers especially to people inclined to advertising. Ther challenging job really makes advertising world can be called as "adventure".. The end of the story was quite boring, because "Bunny to a dove". OK,i don't take it literally, at least they should have a closure about it. Somehow, they left a question mark hanging to every viewers mind. I guess that's quite nice.
... View More"Viktor Vogel" is an excellent (German) movie about the (often shady) world of advertising. Very up to the point, very ironic, sarcastic, but realistic. The film is full of humor both British and German style. And the actress is very beautiful!!!! In short,it is the story of a young and talented art director (Viktor Vogel) who wants to work in an advertising agency, but the managers don't pay attention to him. However the lady who represents an automotive company who is the client of the advertising company, likes the style and ideas of Viktor and Viktor finds also precious inspiration in the young and beautiful artist Rosa Braun, who will help him find secure a bright future thanks to her ideas. In fact, Viktor and Rosa are totally complementary, idealistic and talented persons in a competitive world. Nice love story and nice story about the world of advertising.
... View MoreViktor Vogel is a young man who want to work in an advertising agency. He has fresh ideas for the agency. Eddie Kaminsky is a man who needs a new idea to stay on top. Kaminsky needs Viktor's unique outlook on advertising and Viktor needs Kaminsky's years experience in work force. Together might a good team with the help of Viktor's girlfriend Rosa. I think the movie went slow in some parts in the story, but it has potential plot in the film. The ending was a little strange, nevertheless it worth checking out.
... View MoreOne of the sentences you learn going to a filmschool is: "A comedy is only a comedy if someone is laughing. If nobody is laughing, then it is not a comedy. It is something else."I think this is what best fits for this film. It is a story about a young guy (Viktor Vogel, whyever this comic-name) seeking a job in a big commercial company. He finally gets there, but only because the company needs him to make a deal with Opel. After the deal has gone, he is kind of thrown out.That's the story. I don't think it's funny. Let alone all those little things like the (german) synchronization, of the mumbling voice of Götz George, of all the stereotyped characters without any depth nor wound. The film was okay if it would have been broadcast on the television. But it simply doesn't fit into a cinema room. For this it is too "small". I'd recommend this film only for: how not to make a funny film.
