Brief Explanation

In this commercial, we find Benicio del Toro at an upscale bar. Benicio tells us that it takes 15 years to become a Heineken brewmaster, which is almost as long as it took him to master his alluring “look.” Benicio proceeds to demonstrate his “look” on the bartender. He and the bartender lock eyes as she pours an ice-cold Heineken. Once the Heineken is poured, the bartender approaches Benicio to give him the beer. Benicio’s “look” seems to be working. Then, just when we think the bartender will stop and deliver the Heineken to Benicio, she passes and instead, gives it to a man seated behind Benicio. The beer was intended for this man all along. Benicio brushes off the failure of his “look”, telling us that he is still practicing. Some skills take time to master – Benicio’s “look” and the skill to become a Heineken brewmaster.
