View Full Version : Great Video - Perspective of a PLWP
Great video I found on youtube.com
PD video from http://www.parkinsons.org.uk/ (http://calipso-pd.org/community/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=42&Itemid=74)
That's a very nicely done video that certainly offers a different perspective. Thanks!

Good find. The video is nicely done.
I've done precisely that on several occasions.

personally I find it weak and a bit abstract really.
When you compare it to the Cancer ad with the Keane song, ("She has no time", just listen to it and it will make you cry :(), now that is really powerful.
Guess this proves how difficult it is to produce these ads, not sure subtlety wins the day here and we are in a competitive market, like it or not.
In my opinion MJF has moved us on further with the CBS interview and "Rush" videos in the past few days than all the progress we have seen in the last 5 years.

That's true, this ad probably connects better with PLWP than outsiders.
People don't grasp the idea of one having to plan how they are going to put on a coat or tie their shoes. I still think it's a great ad; a window into our world for the observant people without PD.

being much like the guy in the clip, my wife screams at me things like "you don't give me any help in parenting" and on and on belittling me for being "lazy", even when i'm on I give the best that I can in helping to clean up or help the kids. If she only knew what thoughts were in my head; just like that guy "will I fall, if I attempt that" or at my worst, just plain "sorry if I don't meet your expectations, but i can't move right now", Usually followed by "you seem to be able to do only the things that you want to do just fine"; YA right, just fine, just freakin fine. If THEY only knew. IT's awful tough getting things through to people who can't feel advanced PD:(
