Spoiler Alert: Last weekend the world said goodbye to one of the greatest TV shows of all time, Mad Men. Now, series creator Matt Weiner is opening up about the end of the series, discovering who Don Draper (Jon Hamm) and that iconic Coke commercial that he got stuck back in the heads of millions of viewers.
During a recent interview with A.M. Homes at the New York Public Library, Mad Men creator, Matt Weiner opened up about the iconic Coke commercial used at the end of the series, and if we are supposed to believe that Don Draper wrote it (via Huffington Post):
"I have never been clear, and I have always been able to live with ambiguities. In the abstract, I did think, why not end this show with the greatest commercial ever made? In terms of what it means to people and everything, I am not about ambiguity for ambiguity's sake. But it was nice to have your cake and eat it too, in terms of, what is advertising, who is Don and what is that thing?"
Weiner went on to add that he was still learning who Don Draper, all the way up until the end of the series:
"I didn't realize until the end that Don likes strangers. He likes seducing strangers, which is just like advertising ... You're gonna walk down the side of the road, and now we know each other. And once he gets to know you, he doesn't like you. It's gonna turn once they feel exposed. That's why he picked Megan over Faye. He just tells Peggy, just move forward -- that's his philosophy in life."
