Man on the Moon


This is from Christmas, and it's also for British department store John Lewis. It is just so sweet and touching. It starts off with the little girl doing something she loves, looking at the moon. She notices a man, and he is alone. We feel sorry for him because he looks sad, bored, and lonely. She wants to talk to him, or help him somehow, but he letters won't reach him. She continues to watch him everytime she comes home, wanting to help. Paper airplanes and arrow messages keep failing. At this point, we feel in the pits because whatever she does it doesn't work and the man is still as lonely as ever.
Christmas comes and it is all happy again, but the juxtaposition of the little girl's Christmas and the man's lonliness brings back the heavy weight in the heart. But then, the music comes back and the man looks up to see a present on balloons! He is so happy and so is the audience. We find she gave him a telescope, and now he has a buddy "half a world away". Everyone is happy and the man feels like he is loved, with John Lewis accomplishing their goal.
