This 3-minute commercial for the Thai telecommunications conglomerate, True, is the best movie that was never made. It’s subtitled, but you don’t need to read the words to understand what’s going on. It’s truly moving and inspiring. And, the little boy in the first scene — Wow! He conveys so much emotion with his eyes. I love this.
Let me just add that if the U.S. made commercials like this, I would be buying whatever they were selling. Even if I didn’t want/need them. So, I’m glad they don’t.
Anyhow, here are some other commercials that get my tear ducts going. You have been warned. 😉

I CANNOT handle Thai commercials. This is maybe the 5th one that has slain me.
Whoa. Beautiful.
I think that little boy in the commercial is the best actor I’ve seen in a long time. Give him the Academy Award, and everything else!
that literally made me cry too I love commercials like that… this is my other favorite that always makes me cry although its different:
I love that commercial, too.
I thought I was the only one who cried at commercials !!
Beautiful. Really love this.
I am mid 50s and tear up just reading this thread.
Wow.
Yeah those Thai commercials are worth chopping onions for.
oh, this Silence of Love one put me into hysterics the first time I saw it. I would hate to see what Thai dramatic movies are like … and when I say hate, I actually mean love. 😉
