Wings of a Man

This post will dissect the 2008 Petronas Hari Deepavali commercial by using denotation, connotation and myth. Based on my understanding of the commercial, the denotation, connotation and myth of the commercial are interpreted as the following:




Denotation: The commercial starts with an Indian man who works as a cleaner in an aeronautics training academy. His son Mahesh as a small child wants an aeroplane which caused him to work hard in order to succeed his son's dream by buying books for him to study. After time passes, Mahesh grown into a young adult. He was given confidence by a dad of his friend. However his dad is still working hard and don't allow his son to pick him up earlier. Years go by, Mahesh father has passed away but Mahesh has succeeded his dream to be a pilot with the help of his father.

Connotation: They connotes message of how great a father can be, how much he had sacrifice and worked hard even though just as a cleaner in order to succeed his son's dream. They also showed as a son/daughter, we probably would not notice what our parents have done behind in order to help us to success in our life. Parents are the greatest in our life.
