If you really want to target the masses, words like cliche, fathom and plagiarism do not work. Is this Mandarin?
I stopped reading the thread after a while
MY GOD! So much to argue over a loud fart no one heard!
Helps if you stop replying.
Which brings me to ask this question. What is a shit face like you! doing in this shithouse when there are better shithouses for you to go to.
I don't think you have a clue what plagiarism means. People have been sacked, suspended, sued and convicted, expelled, etc without they admitting anything. Thats both in academia and the elsewhere.
Yours is not even a long stretch of the bow. You are not even in the zone. Plagiarism is either wholesale copying of content may it be a short paragraph, a picture or ideas or substantial copying of a body of work or even a framework.
The lady herself has indicated in her blog that the movie has inspired her. However creative one is, they will still use things that others have created along the way. The final product is an assembly of ideas and content. Notice the ceiling shot, the sun shining at a low angle with one half of the faces in shadow etc. All that too are copied. You consider that plagiarising? I have seen that done many times in films long before she left school.
Was this Ad's striking feature the snore and the dog. Was the snore and the dog a copy in form and content. Was the fart with the dog or the dog with the snore and it goes on and on.
Maybe you want to list the striking points of the Ad. Here is my take.
1) loss of life
2) unusual eulogy by spuse
3) Mrs Lee with a sari ? until you see the photo of the husband
4) So many friends
5) Intermarriage,mixed blood kids
6) Accepting imperfection in all including your loved ones (main message)
Looks like you are looking for all the imperfections even when they are not there.
Compare that with the NDP example that you cited on your blog and its different as chalk and cheese. The NDP is an obvious case of plagiarism.
Why would you think this is a fight and I am baiting you (to do what?) and what is this about gaining offensive? The discussion is very simple. You think the ad is plagiarized, I think it's not. I do believe she got the ideas for the overall product and concept from a variety of sources (yes, perhaps even Good Will Hunting) but that's how most people work to produce a painting, an invention, a scholarly piece of work or a piece of music; however that is neither sufficient nor necessary to charge her of plagiarism.
You seem to think that if more people think it's plagiarized, then the piece of work is. You seem not to allow others to think that the work cannot be considered plagiarized. You obviously would not accept the director's own explanation of how the how idea was conceptualized (unless her explanation involves her admittance of plagiarism).
If you were fair and objective to yourself, you would have compared the NDP ad with this ad, and see that the former is obviously plagiarized but the latter is not.
And for the last time, plagiarising is not the same as being inspired. Drawing ideas from disparate sources to come up with a concept that is significantly different from these sources is not plagiarism. The whole must be considered before the parts.
I don't have time to respond to the last few replies here, but this story has finally been carried by the mainstream media:

I doubt its the lack of time. More like the inability to convince others the basis for your argument. You obviously can't comprehend what ST wrote. Then again, you might not have the time to respond again.
Sigh. I have said all I have to say above, and I'll let others judge them on their own merits. I don't have time, I meant, to convince some individuals, whom due to their overinflated egos, think that their opinion on this is representative of everyone else. I have neither the time nor interest to "convince" these people. Have it your way.
Anyone who is able to watch the videos can excercise their own judgement. They obviously do not need me or anyone else to teach them how to interpret them. That's all I have to say. Flame away if you have to.

Hope this serves as a good lesson for you.
I think I could have written the ST article myself! My last post here exactly reflects what the director says.
Should I charge her with plagiarism then? :p
Yasmin is nothing to me. I don't know her and she certainly does not know me. I fought hard against smokers too.
