I will describe the Gillette commercial called "The Best Men can Be" (Jan 13, 2019).

Step-by-step explanation:

This ad attempts to persuade the audience by placing images of men behaving in negative ways that are associated with masculinity, followed by images in which men behave in kinder and fairer ways. The music that is used is inspiring, and the images are very slow in order to allow the viewer to fully appreciate the scene.

The audience of the ad is both men and women, but the ad is particularly directed towards men, who are the people who buy Gillette products the most.

The ad is meant to persuade men to check their behaviour, and to let go of "masculine" habits that might be damaging. It also attempts to invite everyone to reflect on these behaviours.

The ad was made as a response to the growth of the feminist movement and the desire to reflect on gender stereotypes. The ad was also made to show that Gillette agrees with much of what the movement state
