Samsung's video about the ostrich that tries to fly will make you weep like a baby

Samsung's commercial for the Gear VR is quite something. With Elton John's "Rocket Man" playing in the background, the video tells the inspiring story of an ostrich that tries to fly—and features, of course, the Samsung Gear VR headset.

Ostriches, as we know, are largely flightless birds. Unlike other birds, their "flat breastbones lack the keel that anchors the strong pectoral muscles required for flight," says National Geographic.

That is, until now.
