Analysis of Pantene Commercial

Throughout this commercial, there were multiple personal aspects shown between the girl with the ponytail and the deaf girl, who I believe are sisters; perseverance & determination by the deaf girl, and jealousy & slight ostracism by the sister. The sister was shown practicing the piano diligently, with a very modern style of playing. Her sister, the deaf girl, was shown playing violin; at times, with an old man on the street. As she played, it seemed that she didn't have any worries, and the only thing that mattered was that violin. During the girls' practice session, the ponytailed sister gets very frustrated with her deaf sister, telling her that she'll never be able to play well since she's deaf. This shows that the sister doesn't believe in her sister, and she shows no support in what the deaf girl really wants. Also, while playing on the street with the old man, a group of vandals start harassing the deaf girl, shoving her around and even shattering her violin. They reach such a level that they beat-up the old man as well, and the only potential reason is that the old man and the girl are both deaf.
     Towards the end of the commercial, we see the ponytail sister at a classical music competition, performing very modern, almost sinister, music. The crowd was very pleased, and the show was believed to be over, until one more contestant was said to perform; the deaf girl came to compete against her sister and to prove anyone wrong who had disbelief in her. As she was playing, the deaf girl recollected all her thoughts about playing violin, the positive and negative. As she channeled her feelings from all these experiences, her music became invigorating and passionate, so passionate that her hair was whipping around like Medusa's scaly locks. At the end of the deaf girl's performance, the crowd was awestruck, and the sister was green with envy. After all her enduring and weathering, the deaf girl proved that anyone can be exceptionally different.
