CZECH DREAM (ČESKÝ SEN)

Posted on September 22nd, 2009 by admin in advertising company | 25 Comments »

CZECH DREAM, a documentary-comedy, had an impact on the real lives of many Czech people. On the last day of May 2003, thousands of people gathered on a field in a Prague quarter called Letnany because an advertising campaign for a hypermarket promised them unbelievably low prices. However, the crowd merely found itself standing in front of a linen faćade, not a real hypermarket. This “friendly hoax” was a part of the project of two film students, Vit Klusak and Filip Remunda. These two filmmakers had ordered a leading advertising company to coordinate a promotional campaign for a nonexistent product: a hypermarket. Their goal was to document how a credible advertising campaign can be effective even if its product is not based on reality. This funny and alarming movie takes a close look at advertising professionals, film directors, psychologists, analysts, Czech celebrities, hypermarket directors, and consumers in the context of the tempting world of consumption that most of us are captured by everyday.

    All the promotional stuff for this documentary that I’ve seen is fake and exaggerated. I don’t get it.

    It was still good nonetheless.

    for me this …
    for me this agression scene was played by actors… why? Who come to hipermarket with baseball in Czech? It`s a Czech not USA… Baseball is not popular in Czech but it looks cool in demolition scene. So lying, lying and lying…. from begining to the end – autocreation. But as para documentary is a quite funny.

    Just look how …
    Just look how irrational all these people have become due to their willing assimilation into consumer culture? Globalization will only make it worse because it will cause great cultures, like Czech culture, to be irrelevant and eventually erased, just so people can buy crap. That is what I don’t understand.

    I don’t understand …
    I don’t understand you people. It was a great lesson for us all. Don’t you see that we are surrounded by manipulation? And what we do after seeing a sexi lady eating chocolate? We go to supermarket and we buy it. Not because it’s tasty. It was in Tv, and we saw it 100 times, so we go there to spend our money and time. I admire those 2 men, really. They’ve opened our eyes.

    Do you know where comsumerism leads to Zik2?
    A better economy for the country.
    Old Praha is turning into new and improved Praha with the help of tourism, and the czech republic is realising this by weakening border controls over their neirbouring countries.
    I visted Gdansk in poland in october, and the number of shops and services there where below that of a village in the UK, where does all the money go in their country? It should be used in spending/tax to help their diabolic economy.

    Co to tu melete o české malosti? Tohle by se událo v každé zemi. Stačí se podívat když propukají novoroční slevy v Německu, Anglii Americe. Uvedení Iphonu v Itálii v Anglii. Vlastnost získat něco levnějí se společná pro každou zemi, tak nevím proč tu děláte z čechů nějaké komické postavy.

    Well…and what is your point? Unfortunately, there is this shopping-madness all over the developed world, especially in former communistic countries, because the huge shops, which we have today, were unbelieveble for Czechoslovaks, Poles, Hungarians etc. 20 years ago. I hope today’s curious times of consum are about to end.
