Too Hip?
Recommending Endgame, I also have to post the trailer for Stander—movie trailer as music video par excellence. It’s so cool and efficient about conveying essential information, and the match-up of music, shots, cut points is just perfect. I always meant to see if the movie resembled its trailer, and to find the soundtrack without also finding a malware site…
Still, does the trailer’s set-up leave you a little queasy? Hip, Elmore Leonard-worthy caper set against apartheid riots? It does fall into a tradition of sorts: Good Morning, Vietnam; Hogan’s Heroes, Inglorious Basterds; even, in a way, Gravity’s Rainbow…
