The Dos Equis Ad makes a suggestion about good or wise life by demonstrating things that he is able to do and what he has become. The ad proposes that to have a good life one must be able to stand out from the crowd. The adverts demonstrate a person who is control of all the things he wants to do and can achieve almost everything and gets the recognition from the world. A good or wise life is one lived and attracts the attention of others. By stating “the most interesting man in the world” the advert subtly means “the most unique man” in the world and shows things that ordinary man can’t do. The man is positioned in the advert as a hero to reckon with. The subtle message is that the beer makes one do extraordinary things that make them stand out, therefore, implying that a good life is one that makes people become famous. Another element is that a good or wise life implies having control and command on certain issues. The man in the advert is portrayed to have authority in what he does.
