The reasons for why the director chose a mixed couple can be alot, but i personally feel that the director did so because the director wanted us to send us a message that love has no boundaries, especially in multi-racial countries like Singapore. It shows us that even though we may be different in terms of our religion; societies;e.t.c, we must learn to understand and live together in harmony happily.
2)Why did the lady only focused on the bad traits of her husband?
She wanted us to realize that what we humans also remember for a long time are those bad things that happened to us or bad things that happened. Example, the 9/11 incident caused many people to remembered the terrorist group: Taliban. That made a large number of people to have a hatred especially to the Talibans because it caused many people's love ones to die or injured, and til now i am pretty sure they still remember it even though more than 10 years has passed. But this must not necessarily be bad things to remember of, actually that incident also taught much of the population in the United States to treasure your loved ones while they are still here.
3)Is the advertisement effective in promoting family values?
I think the advertisement was effective in promoting family values as it relates to many people as it tells us that humans make mistakes, but we must learn to forgive and forget their imperfections as we will eventually miss them even more because of the imperfections they have. By forgiving them we are able to focus more on the good traits of them and treasure it in our mind as memories.
But still i have one more thing to add, most people will not truly understand and feel how it is like, until this happens to them.
WOOOHOOOO 2 more homework to go! Byebye! ^~^
