Nike Gets Good, Bad and Ugly

nike_good_bad_ugly.jpg

Weiden + Kennedy has created another beautiful commercial for Nike. This one is direct by David Fincher and illustrates the glory of life’s successes and accomplishments by following the lives and differing skills of two child athletes turned NFL football players, LaDainian Tomlinson and Troy Polamalu.

Adding appropriate emotion to the commercial is a remix of Ennio Marricone’s moving L’estasi Dell’oro from the classic film The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, a film everyone should see if only for its grandiose spaghetti western cheesiness. Not to mention Clint Eastwood in his early cowboy years.
