This Nike spot, directed by David Fincher and shot by Emmanuel Lubezki, will make me drop whatever I'm doing to watch. I find it mesmerizing. But I am struck by the possible opacity in narrative.
The only constants are running and hair length. As this posting is concerned with better understanding the student with AS, I am forced to wonder how this ad is 'read' by someone with such a diagnosis. Is the long hair of Troy Polamalu enough to secure a string of actions? Or could the spot be perceived as a variety of athletic individuals, whose only connection is their being in the same commercial?
I plan to observe my students this coming week to compile some feedback.
