Steven Spielberg is one of those directors whose thumbprint is immediately recognizable. Always such beautiful work. Second trailer!

Correction:
(I mean, I prefer this trailer to the first one. (I guess I was thinking: “I like it better […]”, but ended up half-way writing, “ . . . prefer . . . .”, for some reason.))
I prefer this trailer than the first one.
But the bottom line is that it is a Spielberg-directed film. So, to me, I simply know that I will enjoy it — as usual.
End of story.
(PS: I fancy Janusz Kaminski’s cinematographic style. Artistic and beautiful. Back light, side light; well, you name it. I love it.)
The Coens aren’t afraid of handing over their own work if they don’t wanna make a film out of it. Were they brought in to rewrite this or did they just not deem it up to their standards? Or perhaps just not their usual style of directing, so they favoured other projects for themselves?
Like Bryce, I’m not a fan of Janusz Kaminski’s style and its application in this trailer. But while I sympathise with Gustavo, I’m not so pessimistic about the jingoistic tone of this film. Under the collective eyes of the Coens and Steven Spielberg, I feel this will more likely be a film promoting the ideal of what the U.S. ought to represent than a film promoting what its ideals have been abused in service of, like American Sniper.
I’ve never been a Spielberg believer and I will probably skip this one. However it’s another case of a Coen’s script that doesn’t resemble Joel and Ethan Coen. It’s really strange
I’m getting more and more excited about this movie the more I see of it. Hanks and Rylance look wonderful, and if Spielberg brings the same directing skills he used for “Lincoln”, we could end up with something really special.
Here’s a great interview where he talks about his personal connection to the material:

by the trailer I’m so not interested…
Wait and see. That’s my attitude.
I can’t wait for this one.
Not immediately in love with what Kaminski is doing here but it’s just a trailer, on the whole it looks like another triumph for Spielberg; one of our two living greatest American directors.
This looks more patriotic than American Sniper and preachier than Lincoln. It makes it seem like the United States are the only country in the world to uphold a Constitution. Ugh.
I am comforted by the fact that this hasn’t been seen yet. It’s one of the “big” ones left not seen. I suspect that when it’s seen at the New York Film Festival, it will go over really well. I’m also curious how The Walk and Miles Ahead will do at NYFF.
I think I’ll like this film as long as it’s not confusing like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Good Shepherd. I hope it’s more like another Spielberg film, Munich.
Right now I have an anticipatory level of 7. But I suspect / hope that come October 16, it will be more like an 8 or 9.
