Taken Trailer
I happened to see a trailer for the upcoming movie Taken recently. It’s a really great trailer, take a look.
While the movie looks absolutely amazing, this trailer really got my attention, and I think I see a reason why. Most movie trailers are edited so heavily that it looks nothing like the actual movie. If you notice, they even splice together character’s lines so they say things completely opposite of the way they are delivered in the film. This trailer is different.
This trailer is simply two and a half minutes of the film. It is a very pivotal two and a half minutes, a very well chosen two and a half minutes, but two and a half minutes with no editing. It’s such an honest way of presenting a film that it felt genuine, and I could let myself get absorbed into the film world. I will see this movie now, because I want to know more about the world I glimpsed.
