Half of this is a romance movie and the other half looks really awesome.
Holy moley, that was a damn good trailer. Really exited for this.
Oh man. I was just about to comment on how deep and unappealing the movie looked to me, until the old man started to describe his dream and the whole trailer suddenly transformed into awesomeness.
I don't know what the fuck I just watched but I liked it... A lot.
Holy shit. The most moving trailer i've seen in a while.
I don't understand what this movie is about, or what's going on. I really didn't like this trailer, didn't know what to make of it.
Trailer shows a lot of promise. I just hope there's a script that can hold it together.
I didn't really understand the trailer but I'll watch it anyway because it looks good.
that was a great trailer.
That was definitely something else. So what I could guess from the trailer: it's about a couple that's "reincarnated" into different times and destined to be together? EDIT: Well obviously it looks like there's a load more to it than that but is that the basic plot?

How events from the past tend to affect the present, etc. Also that whole reincarnation thing. [editline]28th July 2012[/editline] If you want some info about the novel: [quote] The novel consists of six nested stories that take the reader from the remote South Pacific in the nineteenth century to a distant, post-apocalyptic future. Each tale is revealed to be a story that is read (or observed) by the main character in the next. All stories but the last are interrupted at some moment, and after the sixth story concludes at the center of the book, the novel "goes back" in time, "closing" each story as the book progresses in terms of pages but regresses in terms of the historical period in which the action takes place. Eventually, readers end where they started, with Adam Ewing in the Pacific Ocean, circa 1850. Mitchell has said of the book: "All of the [leading] characters are reincarnations of the same soul ... identified by a birthmark. ... The "cloud" refers to the ever-changing manifestations of the "atlas", which is the fixed human nature. ... The book's theme is predacity ... individuals prey on individuals, groups on groups, nations on nations."[/quote]
I was planning on writing a book about something exactly like this.... bastards beat me to it.
I am so confused and amazed. Nice use of Outro by M83. Probably one of the best trailers I've seen.
i have no idea what i just watched but i want to pay money to see more
I'm so confused

What in the fuck? Are they in the future or the present?
[QUOTE=Ast_risk;36981417]What in the fuck? Are they in the future or the present?[/QUOTE] they're in the past [IMG]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100401175011/uncyclopedia/images/c/c8/Lost.gif[/IMG]
i enjoyed the book
So...It's Mr. Nobody (2009) done by the Wachowski brothers with a ton of oscar bait. Yeah I think I'll pass.
[QUOTE=Ast_risk;36981417]What in the fuck? Are they in the future or the present?[/QUOTE] both
Reminds me of the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
I like how they're doing something different with the narrative flow
The trailer makes it looks like it has too many stories to tell to be the length of one film. But it still looked awesome.
I've only seen the trailer and already im lost
[QUOTE=Warriorx4;36981467]So...It's Mr. Nobody (2009) done by the Wachowski brothers with a ton of oscar bait. Yeah I think I'll pass.[/QUOTE] The plot and concept seem to differentiate quite a bit so I don't know exactly what you're on about. Mr. Nobody was basically[sp]multiple worlds that were created and existed solely through a child's mind after a life changing decision appeared in front of him,[/sp]from what I remember. This seems to be nothing like that, more like the concept of the cycle of life and time repeating itself through generations. Also, what exactly seems Oscar bait about this?
what I find amazing is that this trailer was like 5 minutes, showed so much and seemingly didn't spoil anything and made me so excited to see it. More editors need to follow this route. Stop spoiling the movie, but make me excited.
it's a cycle of life story where the next generation learns about the previous generation through reading a book or watching a video on them.
In six minutes of watching this trailer it managed to explain absolutely nothing, it was like watching a bunch of completely unrelated movies stitched together like some Colbert satire about movies. I have no idea what it's about.
