5/15/2023 0 Comments The go getters movie trailer![]() Sometimes taglines are cryptic, sometimes they contain a pun or a play on words – and then there are taglines like this one, which cut straight to the point and tells you exactly what you’re about to experience when watching this movie – the story of a pair of freewheeling romantic lovers who are partners in crime. Take, for instance, Bonnie & Clyde: “They’re young…they’re in love…and they kill people” Is it tongue-in-cheek? Serious? Inspirational? All of these questions can be answered by the few words that accompany the movie’s title. It gives a sense of the tone of the movie. A movie’s tagline tells you something about the movie that neither the title nor the promotional photo does. There is immense power in a movie tagline – it has to basically sum up the entire movie in as few words as possible, often fewer than ten, and it must do this in an engaging way that captures the audience’s attention and sticks with them – sometimes growing so famous and commonly used that it becomes a cliche, like the tagline “Be afraid, be very afraid,” from 1986 horror film The Fly. An audience is a diverse group of people with different tastes, and it is often prudent to convey what type of experience they might have watching the movie. ![]() But then, how should one judge a movie? Perhaps by its reviews – but with so many movies out there, the conundrum lies with which reviews to read in order to decide what movies are worth investing an hour or more into. Don’t judge a book – or a movie – by its cover.
