Whoa, whoa, whoa not intelligent?! Depressing?! We must have seen two different movies. I hear what you\’re saying, but you\’re completely wrong. Oliver does a great job proving how dissimilar the trailers are from each other in the post. Sure, if you look at the surface of the Drive trailer, it maybe seems like a thriller/action/car chase movie, but the trailer is actually a mostly fair representation of the film. In fact, it basically hits every beat in the story in 2.5 minutes, which seems like a spoilery, stupid thing to do. But then when I saw the film, I realized that Refn\’s interest in the plot is minimal, it\’s but a means to explore the nature of heroism, falling in love, genre movies (while also dissecting them), fairy tale mythology, missed opportunities in life, this current wave of 80\’s nostalgia we find ourselves in pop culture at the moment. It also works as a piece of film criticism: nearly every character in the film is striving for something they can\’t attain, for whatever reason, and they all are \”playing a role\” within the film (that is, their characters put on a facade, they want to be something they are not). And it\’s also one of the most romantic fucking movies I\’ve seen in years. How can that be depressing? Better yet, when is great art ever depressing?

Now I know it\’s true.

Maybe if he wore a Hitler mask while he killed Nino, I would understand her point

Use commas.

The system should be set up that something like this doesn\’t even make it past the first stage. People like that should just be laughed out of the filing office.
