Lest we forget that Editing is All, an exchange I had this morning with @TheLollipopking who had seen a "test" trailer a month or so ago:
Woah!! This is not the trailer I saw at all!
The middle has a lot of shots I recognize & feels familar, but the entire tone is totally different.
When I compared it to something like Carol....the one I saw had a lot more Christmas scenes, where she's wearing the red gown.
The scenes in the beginning and the end don't look familar at all.
The moment where she asks why he's never been married had a completely different feel.
The way they framed that scene in the trailer I saw, I thought she was an assistant who was very infatuated with him, and was too naive...
To realize he was gay and still in the closet.
This trailer shows much more of an actual relationship, rather than a mentor/pupil relationship the one I saw implied.
Yeah, I think I mentioned it before, but I thought it was an unrequited love scenario. She being infatuated, but DDL merely having affection
[edit] It will be interesting to see how "accurate" this trailer is. How revealing of the nuances, story, etc are in the actual finished edit. This might be pure marketing? Specifically, for example, to get non-PTA-fanboy butts in theater seats?
