Bless Tony Scott he was such a lovley soul, Anthony Hopkins briliant as well. Unfortunately the reality of banking with Barclays is so far removed from this it may as well be in another galaxy far far away.
Exactly what I was thinking, as I watch it in 2022! Add 'neighborhood banking' to your 'personal' and 'local' branding. Now we want banks that don't invest in fossil fuel. So pull yo' monay out of BofA and Chase Bank (and lots of others outside the US), people! Put it in small banks and credit unions instead!
@@BrutalistCanoodlist Thank you! She was great in it. One of the best things about that movie. I have no idea why I assumed she’s Swedish. Maybe because she looks Scandinavian with all that vampire look.

THE coolest advert ever made gives me goosebumps.
Since the crash, note how UK bank adverts have swung from 'big' and 'worldwide' to 'personal' and 'local'.

BlackRock and others like it though, don’t hide wanting to be big
Yep, because we've given up on trying to be big in the world since 2009.
Americans arent afraid of being successful or rich; in the UK you're taxed to high hell. @@Thefewfunds
Even in 2018, this is still a classy advert. I like 👍🏻🏴
if this commercial was on blue ray, i would buy it.
The word "big" has suddenly stopped making sense.
Superb writing on this tvc.
very tasteful commercial with a talented A. Hopkins 💐🙏😘
The best commercial ever made!
great ad, Tony Scott's the man
Love Hopkins!! He's... what's that word...
I know I am quite off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Huxley Ian i would suggest Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Huxley Ian I would suggest FlixZone. Just search on google for it :)
@Issac Jonas Yup, I've been using Flixzone for years myself =)
@Issac Jonas Thanks, I went there and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it!!

Barclays are geniuses at advertising!
Yeah, two people in one advertising, two diferently worlds. They are crazy?
This advert is great, but its pre financial crash so would never work today.
If this was parody, I would think it was brilliant.
Genius
Ja, die große Hollywood-Legende Anthony Hopkins. Es ist Zeit, groß zu denken.
he rocks! 👍❤️
I was more than a little confused when a TD Banks ad started playing... X_x
This is the life I want
haha yeah you got me there
when I hear music I want Peter Gabriel's Big Time
This ad always reminded me of that song.
I hope the model made loads of money for the advert like Anthony I would get her a yacht and pads too
Intelligent exceptional actor.

Best Banking AD!
I didn’t get this advertisement…. Can anyone explain ?
Is big better, or is better Big ?
Awesome AD, but it's too proud as Barclays only cared about their BIG stakeholders but not all stakeholders are big...
❤
lol ... not so much with the tar x your my favorite
can anyone explain me that how does the fee of turning 75$ into Hungrian forints costs an additional 100$???
Is that the Swedish actress from Blade?
Yes! It's Arly Jover - but she is from Spain!
@@sobo9761 Thanks! Lucky her
@@AstonishingSodApe And lucky you for having such good facial recognition!

Stewie Griffin in the future.
RodCornholio Best comment I have ever read!
Its sound like he belong to an elite. We dont want a big bank.
Gads this has not aged well post 08
Better then, crystals.....
the fee is because alchemy is expensive.
Well, that aged badly… 🍑
pity about all the titles. ncie writing though.
big liver,yummy
n v hre try a I Nebuchadnezzar
forget Barclays.... remember Hopkins..... everyone getting a bit to political.... priiiiiccccckkkkkssss...
Too bad Barclays also stands for big banksters! banker plus gangster - goes with the territory, perhaps?
Thankfully ...... this isn’t current, or recent, or relevant anymore.
Barclay Brothers... usurers creating debt money out of thin air, the energy for this, supplied by the ordinary joe, enslaved by the debt.
The Barclay Brothers are in media, retail and property. They're not bankers.
Big nobs
Terrible advert imo!
Showing men kissing in their latest tv ads...wrong!
Big big snowflake. Grow up and go outside
ah shut up Hopkins...
Cringe 😬
sexist
How?
The most stupid commercial I've ever seen so far.
