In BNW, there are many methods that are used to induce happiness. One of them is classical conditioning. People are not free to choose a life that they want to live, they are given a life and they are conditioned to like it. As the director puts it in the beginning of the novel, “All conditioning aims at that: making people like their inescapable social destiny.” (11).

In my opinion, people are swayed by these tactics and tend to try a Budweiser beer more often than they had.

The absence of a narrator also feeds into this fantasy. The commercial allows the images to speak for itself. The orchestra arrangement also made the commercial naturally timeless.
