Pantene Commerical

   In this Pantene commercial, a deaf girl was told she could never learn to play the violin. While she was attempting to play in the beginning, she was ridiculed. Everyone around her would tell her that she was wasting her time because "it is impossible for a deaf girl to learn the complexities of the violin." The constant slamming of the violin to the ground connected to the girl's hopes of ever being "normal." Her struggling happiness was visible through her mediocre playing styles. Once the music stopped and the violin hit the floor, so did her happiness. She came into contact with a wise old man, who was an exceptional violinist. She had asked him, "Why am I different?" The old man had told her to not be like everyone else and that music was a "visual thing." In other words, people can not only hear music, but see it through their own eyes.
     Before she performed in a classical music performance, she was holding back tears, seeing as her violin had been smashed into a million pieces, as was her heart. The only thing keeping it together was a little tape and a little glimmer of hope. After being continuously told that she can't play the violin, the girl was able to let go and "dare to be different." Now, it is obvious that a taped violin does not play very well, or at all. But, she played beautiful music in her own way. When she first started to play, she moved with the music. Her whole entire body was swaying to the rhythm, including her luscious locks of hair. In a short amount of time, she blossomed from a scared caterpillar into a confident butterfly who was clearly not afraid to think outside of the box. It was clear that the audience truly had a visual sense of the music inside of her. It shined from her soul to every single person in the audience, leaving them speechless. The wise old man's advice was right, music is visual. But, there is one point that was not made by this man.
        Because the violin was smashed, and the girl's hearing was impaired, it was apparent that she was not playing. While music is a visual aspect, there is also a musical sense in silence.  Silence can express the inexpressible, say more than words, and cut just like a knife. The young girl expressed music in her own way. It was not only the vision, but the silence that intrigued the audience more than sound ever could. Through the visual aspects and the silence that came along with it, the young girl showed that when a person dares to be different, he can truly "make it shine."
