Here’s a trailer for STONEWALL, from director Roland Emmerich. Yes - THE Roland Emmerich.
I like the aesthetic here - aesthetic being one of Emmerich’s stronger points as a director, I suppose. Although, I can’t help but wonder if the themes and messages of this picture are being presented a little too ‘on the nose’ in this trailer? As illustrated here, this film feels more like a dramatization one might find in a museum than a nuanced dramatic narrative. Hopefully the film itself will be more subtle, as there’s a great deal of very interesting and promising potential here…
Hopeful for this onem and I’m curious to see how it all shakes out when it releases September 25. I really dig the poster above, by the way...
