I found this in r/short, "this commercial instead of portraying the short man as a walking bundle of stereotypes, features a cool and suave short man www.reddit.com/r/short/comments/6eqvmq/kudos_to_stella_artois_for_doing_something_that/dicbhgp/.
Some of the most spot on comments.
"Cool, but one observation I'll make - the only wide shot that shows us this man standing directly in opposition to a woman from a straight angle employs a woman that is exactly his height, not a centimeter taller...
Every other shot, while certainly showing women who are visibly taller than him, doesn't juxtapose it in the traditional wide shot intersecting angle like the last shot with the shortest woman. (lotta low upward angles and so forth...)
It's a step in the right direction, but clearly they still hesitate to violate the taboo completely."
That's interesting. I viewed it totally differently. I think the final moment of the ad shows that the woman he is flirting with is clearly taller than him. They don't seem to be the same height at all to me. (Check out their eye levels)
Plus, his shortness seems exaggerated in the scene where everyone gathers around to see the magic trick. Everyone towers over him, but he was the center of attention."
What can I say?GA is a lost cause, still posting on a sub trying to fight heightism full of people who are unaware of it, trying to fight against us, and making it 1000x harder to get any real work done, but this commerical is definately a big jump.
