A funny commercial spoof with the brilliant J.T. Walsh as the narrator
Rodrigo_Amaro30 March 2022
The very first on-screen project of the late great character actor J. T. Walsh ("A Few Good Men", "Nixon" and "Breakdown") was this hilarious short film where he's the main attraction despite being off-screen (since the other actors don't have lines in it). And it's because of him that I actually got here.

He's the narrator of an infommercial about a crazy product called "Reflecto-Vision", a sort of helmet that carries two mirrors (one in front of the customer and another behind) where you can see all kinds of movements that happen around you and have a different viewing experience of the world.

Walsh's narration as if selling the product but in a very humored manner using his excellent vocal skills is amazing. As for the images presented we have the curious and happy customers experimenting the device, while having a walk in the park, or having conversation with other people, or even when tying their shoes at the same time they look in the rear view mirror just to see what's going behind them. It's an unusual and surreal experience where the costumer has several vantage points at the same time and depending on what he or she is viewing, they won't be disappointed with their purchase.

It's a miracolo! 8/10.
