Pretty cool.

How he actually won the Medal of Honor is loving crazy bad rear end.

If all this is beat-for-beat in the movie, it's going to be dismissed as unrealistic creative license. Jesus Christ.

Medics aren't doctors. They sure as hell carry weapons. Nowadays they carry M4s most of the time if they're attached as combat unit support.

This might sound controversial but the M7 trailer is probably the better one here. From looking at it I know exactly what kind of movie it is advertising and why I might want to watch it. From the Handmaiden trailer I can tell absolutely nothing but the fact that the trailer is really cool. All the fast cuts between unconnected scenes, the ominous, pumping music, does it have anything to do with the movie? Is the movie like that? The internet tells me it's a historical drama, is it gonna resemble the trailer in style and mood? This trailer is not gonna attract the kind of audience who cares about historical dramas, but people expecting something totally different, and nobody is going to be happy. See the trailer to Drive, perhaps Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (haven't actually seen the movie for the latter)

The Handmaiden trailer does resemble the final film in style and mood, yes. Extremely stylish editing is a staple of Park Chan Wook's films, the music is from the film, and this is not a movie for someone who wants a typical historical drama. It's also a bit of a difficult film to cut a trailer for, since it's appeal leans so heavily on dark and graphic content. It's violent, it's sleek, it's cool. And like all Park's films, it's pretty hosed up.

Right? Like you just know the big moment in the climax is going to be him reaching for a gun and we're supposed to think "Oh no, he's going to shoot it!" but he uses it as a crutch.

when they made the movie about audie murphy (in which he played himself) they had to cut out stuff he actually did because they didn't think audiences would believe it.

Handmaiden is also based on Fingersmith which is an amazingly hosed up novel and the reason I will be waiting in line at the ticket booth opening day.

This reminds me of how test audiences thought the actor playing Joseph McCarthy in Goodnight and Good Luck was too over-the-top.

They used real footage.

Reminds of the Wire when Omar jumps from the fourth floor and survives and people thought it was unrealistic. Not only did that really happen with the guy Omar was based on, in reality he jumped from the sixth floor and survived it.

I haven't seen it but it's getting good press and is currently scoring 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. I love the Korean cinema style of disguising family dramas as monster movies, like The Host.

Went to see Suicide Squad at the IMAX last night; we got the Dunkirk teaser in full 3D sound on a 6 story screen.

The plane noises getting progressively louder at the end was bonechilling. There was a lot of applause after it was over with, as well as a few "Holy poo poo" utterances.

That might be one of my favorite teaser trailers ever. God drat, Chris Nolan.

Yes, though what was relayed about the film (from The Flop House) it wasn't a film that was inherently bad. At it's worst, it was just a little too rote with bad execution.
