I watched this entire show shortly after having my first child, a daughter. She was sick one day, maybe she was 4 months old or so. She couldnt make it into daycare feeling lke that (my wife and i both work full time), so i took off and stayed home with her. Not something a new dad with a job looks forward too. I guess inside every father, husband, is a Don Draper. We second guess our marriage, or committment to our children, our work, our families - the true things that matter - while exalting ones that dont - hanging at a bar, getting out with your friends, whether or not you could still land a hot woman. I had my daughter on my lap in the recliner - a rare moment she didnt need, or want something, and we were just hanging out, me watching tv, her sucking on a pacifier or playing with a toy or something. Sure enough S1 E13. Man i sobbed and promised I would always love my daughter and care for my wife. Something Don could never quite get his hands around. Incredible scene. As a side note, the way the music resolves itself from 2:51 with a falling action, and then hits you with that last line.....is almost godly when in conjunction with this scene. That is the part that always gets me.

For me it's one of the earliest examples of the greatest theme of Mad Men about the essence of advertising, and indeed the human soul under consumer capitalism. Characters like Don, Roger, Peggy etc. are real people who have powerful personal journeys and seas of emotions and occasional moments of sublime realisation, and then when their head clears and they wake up again from their dream like daze, their actual true achievement and victory is to package and sell those moments.

I suppose you say corruption based on Don's character throughout the show. However, we can't say he didn't love his family, though he may have had a hard time showing it. But from his deepest depths, he was able to reveal his feelings in this scene while concealing it as a pitch. No one would truly know what he was feeling. But by using his family photos he showed he kept them in mind and expressed it in this covert manner. In marketing, you have to consider how people feel about things, and pulling from one's own experiences is the best way to understand others. So there is definitely a very intertwined mix of hidden emotions with the reality of the moment he was living while trying to close a deal.

Good luck at your next meeting. Awesome.

Well, Theodore IS a greek name...

As you watch the rest of the series, you get a deeper sense of the tragedy of this scene. Although he has considerable talent at knowing people's wants and desires, Don's never felt comfortable being close, understood, or truly loved. He wants the life he portrays on the slides, and it's so close, right there in those photos. But he just doesn't have it.

Dear Don Draper in Greek nostalghia literally means "a pain due to a desire to go back home...a desire to return to where you are from"...Ulysses was affected by nostalghia...of course...

Truly the best sales pitch from draper.thanks for posting the video

@alexwertheim870

I remember feeling this way as well. After watching the rest of the show, I think my overwhelming feeling watching this scene again is that Don is advertising to himself here. It's not that his love for his family isn't real, or that his gratitude and longing isn't sincere, but he pitches the carousel as a "return home", and as much as he *wants* to view his family life as "home", he can't ever actually view them as anything more than extension of an invented persona. In the end, he could never accept Betty or his children as permanent fixtures in his life; he was always so terrified that if they learned what kind of man he was, the whole edifice would come crumbling down. Even though I think he genuinely wants this second chance, his itch to run never goes away.

The whole series was nostalgic, particularly if your father actually worked in the advertising business in NY, commuted from the suburbs, and Mom's life was raising the kids and gossiping with the other housewives in the neighborhood.

Nostalgia is the reason why i once in a year have to have mc donalds just to see if it lives up to my childhood memories. I get a mc chicken,fries with mayo, cola or a milk shake and maybe some nuggets with sweet sour sauce. Now that sad truth is that its either not as good as it used to be or when you were a child you ignored all from your simple point of view. How the food may be not hot, the fries soft and how you get hungry quickly compared to other meals. As a child you were happy! Why? Because you were allowed to eat at Mc Donalds! You finaly get the fast food you always wanted but never got! For a child that is enough but for an adult having the ability to choose to eat what ,when and where it leaves you disappointed in the end and you think of other places. Places of better food, for cheaper prices and bigger portions.
