That was really moving. I was surprised when I saw it last night, not just because it was pure class, but it was really long as well. That must have cost a pretty penny.

I liked it. I still dont like Chrysler cars, but they make good ads.

I loved it.

My husband did not realize it was Clint Eastwood, I know from the first sentence.

A lot of their recent failures and successes can be attributed to who owned them. When Mercedes owned them they faultered but now that FIAT owns them they are doing better.

It cracks me up. The worst Italian car company owns Chrysler. I do like the subtle halftime inference though. That also was amusing.

The two best ads were the teenage girls following the middle aged man around mocking him and the vampire car commercial. IMO.

I like Clint the actor and the director. But this commercial was a bunch of maudlin and fallacious crap

The teenage girls following the man around wasn't a new ad though. I don't think it was shown during the game. grin

It did show during the game. I think it was right before halftime or right after. I've never seen it before (I watch a lot of TV) and regardless it still was one of the best ones.

Yeah, I'd seen the teens following the guy around ad before. Pretty good. I think it lacked just a little something that would have made it great. Not sure what.

She needed to eat a sandwich.

The Clint ad was nicely bipartisan, but i'm not really into nationalistic cheerleading so i found it pretty meh.

A lot of films and TV shows are being filmed in New Orleans.
There are always casting calls going out.

"No longer available due to a copyright claim by Chrysler LLC."

WTF? They don't want people airing their commercials for free?

No wonder they're doing so shit.

U.S. taxpayers likely lost $1.3 billion in the government bailout of Chrysler, the Treasury Department announced Thursday.
The government recently sold its remaining 6% stake in the company to Italian automaker Fiat. It wrapped up the 2009 bailout that was part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program six years early.

I think the total net loss was 14 billion (tax payer dollars) for the auto industry bailout.

That is not what the video was about.

At least not for me.
