And all this carry on about too much CGI. Even 'Gone With the Wind' used SFX that were available to them at the time to make things look more cinematic and every western I'v ever seen used some form of chroma keyed Sim-trav when getting close ups of actors speaking. That's why I go to the movies instead of stay at home and watch more TV. Moreover this is a Baz Luhrmann film a film maker who always creates amazing emotionally and visually heightened dream worlds. If it wasn't like that I'd be surprised and disappointed. This film looks amazing it'll be great for the world to get a little does of Australia in it's tea and to learn a little about Australian history and the Second World War from an Aussie view point not yet another Yankee one. And to say nothing about the awesome contribution it'll have to Australian tourism and the oldest feature film industry in the world, the Australian Film Industry. On-yah Baz, you little ripper!!!

No, I am not joking, just not expected to be taken so literally, that's my fault though. I expect something more than lullabies and special effects. This is an epic drama and I expect to know where the emotion of the story will be found. I hope the marketing team doesn't expect me to look at a trailer and see Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman and explosions and say, "Yup, that's the one for me." I'm basically looking for the <i>Why should I see this?</i> portion of the trailer, and it wasn't there (for me). Make sense now?

You must be joking! You want to know the full story? Watch the movie when it's released. You expect a teaser trailer to "give you the full story"? You must be joking!
