Here's a preview of a movie that you may enjoy in the near future. BUT WAIT!! Before you view the clip, mute your speakers. Trust me.
Like the clip? It's mysterious, weird, and also intriguing for the most part. And why wouldn't you like it a bit. Paul Haggis directs the movie (Crash, if you haven't seen it, to me, is a product of many many Asian dramas) with an all-star cast: Liam Neeson, Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, even RZA!
Now why did I make you watch the clip without sound?
In our media heavy world, our senses are being constantly stimulated; from TV to youtube, and almost most of the time, it's absolute JUNK!
So, why suffer with movie previews? Previews are designed to show you a snip of the story and characters so the movie-goers like yourself will be interested paying $10 out of your pocket; which I personally find to be extremely expensive.
Side note: Remember when movies were $5? Remember that?! Remember!!!!?
So about my new way of viewing previews. It's a deaf way of deciding if you will (no offense). Actors are designed to act out different characters, right? What does acting compose of? Sure you hear the emotions in the way they deliver the lines, but like with any conversations, body language counts for the 80% of it.
So watch the preview with that in mind, look at the "acting" clips that are presented before you. This way, you are left imagining what they have said, how they said it, and how real it seems by just looking at their body language. Is it a sad movie? a love movie? Why is that guy so happy?
So after all of that, if you are still left with questions about the plot, or you are still interested in seeing the movie, you can do so with that $10 you were gonna spend on something else frivolous.
That's it. Try it next time.
I still have to review couple of movies that I saw in the past two weeks. I have been lazy, partly due to both of my laptops giving me one hell of a time.
