I enjoyed watching “The Greatest Movie Ever Sold,” directed by Morgan Spurlock. It showed me how much advertisement is around us in our world today. I started noticing advertisements on this campus that I never really gave to much attention to. Things like vitamin water and powerade being the official drinks on lafayette’s campus. That means similar drinks like gatorade or body armor are impossible to purchase on campus. Another advertisement is Nike. All our athletes’ uniforms are made by Nike. Nothing other then Nike is given to the players, but Lafayette gets all the gear it needs for its athletes.
I really enjoyed this movie as well. I think it did a very good, truthful and transparent job of revealing how it really works to get advertisements in movies. I think many times these companies go unnoticed in movies however are subconsciously recognized and remembered. It is truly brilliant. I thought Spurlock did an excellent job of making this film entertaining and accurate using himself as a vehicle.
