My Life. My Card.

My favorite American Express commercial (yes it's a sad life when you start a sentence that way) is the one with Kate Winslet. I like it purely due to it's creativity. She makes statements which correspond with characters she has played in movies.

So, if you didn't know...here are the lines from the commerical (along with what each is referring to):

At 17 I went to prison for murder - a reference to her character in Heavenly Creatures.

By 19 I was penniless and heartbroken - this refers to her role in Sense and Sensibility (she is also seen thumbing through the book at this point).

I almost drowned at 20 - Titanic.

My mind started to go at 24 - a reference to the movie Iris in which her character had alzheimer's disease.

Then I had my memory erased at 28 - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (what a strange movie). However, I'm certain Amy Ward likes it. :)

And by 29 I was in Neverland - Finding Neverland (here she is seen holding a hook).

Thank you American Express for one less dull, boring commerical. This one was blog worthy.
