a dream for all

I have chosen a very memorable and beautiful song (by which I cannot stop singing) that almost reveals to listeners the absolute joy and peacefulness of the situation. The song will stick with you, believe me. "Pure Imagination" is a song most people remember from the movie, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The song creeps into your mind right when two big charcoal covered doors that tower over one's head open up and a group of dysfunctional and wide eyed women, men and children appear. The words of the song come upon listeners as pure bliss. "take a look and you'll see into your imagination," is a line of the song that sticks out to me. In the scene, children are absolutely in shock at what they've been revealed to and it is so different and so unusual that they are experiencing something they'd only have caught eye of in a dream. The entire song reveals a picture that opens up your entire mind; there are also long pauses throughout the song which give listeners this opportunity to think of their wildest dreams, to almost just sit in the scene of paradise for a few seconds. "wanna change the world? there's nothing to it..." is another line in the song that broadens one's view of the painting the lyrics are trying to illustrate. Overall, I believe that the song is creating a marvelous and desirable picture in the mind of listeners. It is a slow, steady and peaceful song that reminds me of heaven or a soft and gentle dream, maybe one you had as a child. The video of the song portrays my imagination very well, and uses the words like "paradise" and "imagination" to show glamorous shots of candy covered grass and peppermint tree trunks. On the other hand, the ad created by AT&T reveals a man sitting on a bench, maybe late twenties to early thirties, holding a brand new piece of electronics. This small piece of eye candy for the man brings him to a place of pure bliss and he is found with a smile on his face. The lyrics illustrate this picture of happiness, as well as the reaction of the man. The song fits well with he entire advertisement, as hand drawn creatures such as birds or fish float around the scene. It takes you back to the feeling of being an innocent and joyful child, always finding your paradise and always experiencing the joy that the children sought in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and that the man discovered. These two illustrations of the lyrics lead me to believe that the song is aimed at an image of one's dream. For example, the song was played when children were revealed to a land of candy and the song played when the business man received the phone. The lyrics are not directed at any set age or group of people, it is for all ages, and all dreams.
