Sorry, this is really kinky.

... just Leica's marketing men rewriting their history again

 

[willie_901]

I enjoyed it until a the last few seconds. Then waves of disgust washed over me.

 

[Out to Lunch]

Quite amazing that a major brand like Leica can get this wrong!

 

[Pablito]

Repulsive.

 

[jsrockit]

I'm not sure what you guys are getting offended about...

 

[Leica0Series]

Leica didn't do it.

Why the moral outcry? It is a nice film, might be slightly wrong from a historical point of view but it works as a film. Thought it was great!

And it was discussed on rangefinderforum before: here and here.

yep

starting a thread without naming the subject matter
and without bothering to articulate your apparent
objections to it
really sucks.

this forum is about discussion,
not mind reading.

by the way, its an award winning video NOT done by Leica.

So you believe Leica denies to be responsible (for the vid) and nevertheless releases them from all liability relating to the publication or use of the logo/mark?

 

[ruby.monkey]

henri klein, what do you find objectionable about this piece?

 

[MCTuomey]

a fine ad. as such i see nothing objectionable compared, for example, to fast food industry ad claims for their products' nutritional value.

 

[zuiko85]

A silly piece of over the top marketing.

Implying that a Leica MM will turn you into (insert name of famous photographer who used Leica M).

This is really bad taste. I wonder what Capa would think of it. Then, far from being in favour of collective responsibility theory, I think that the Germans should always think twice, when they are referring to war, WWII in particular.

henri klein, what do you find objectionable about this piece?

... the video is clearly an allusion of Robert Capa's life, and death ... and Capa didn't use Leica's cameras

Are you kidding?
First of all its inaccurate: Capa stopped using Leica in May 1937.
Second its tacky: it ties death to advertisement by re-enacting Capas death and pictures such as the one of a soldier killed by German snipers Leipzig Germany April 18 1945.

+1 on that sentiment, I loved it until the end then I felt sick ...

But worst of all it demeans the sacrifice of all the photojournalists who have died or been injured in recent years covering armed conflict, or because of LAND MINES. If you are in the field of photojournalism, you know who they are: friends, brothers, colleagues. They did not get another life like the stupid camera in the film; they are GONE.

The film really makes me sick.
