It certainly says something about the state of Hollywood today that a three minute ad produced at a fraction of the cost of most movies is more moving and poignant than almost anything the big studios have to offer.
The Thai telecommunications conglomerate True is getting rave reviews worldwide for its latest spot, "Giving," which tells the story of a man unexpectedly rewarded for a lifetime of good deeds he performed without expecting anything in return.
TrueMove too says it "believes in the power of giving without expecting a return."

The story line is similar to another oldie which I posted many years ago...
A boy from a poor family who was a door-to-door salesman ran out of money. He was hungry and decided to ask for food from the next person who answered the door.
He ended up merely asking for a glass of water, however, and the woman he asked brought him a glass of milk instead.
Many years later, the poor boy was now a famous physician named Dr. Howard Kelly and the woman who gave him the glass of milk was seriously ill.
He gave himself to her care, she recovered, and when the bill was presented, Dr. Kelly wrote, "Paid in full with one glass of milk."
