Who doesn't enjoy movie trailers. I can watch them all day. They're like mini films and usually contain some of the best scenes of the full feature. Promoting movies thru trailers have become an art onto itself and I can appreciate that. Yet, my best film experiences have been when I know nothing or very little about them. For example, knowing just the director or title. It's the surprise of the unfolding story that really enhances the cinematic experience. And as I mentioned, most trailers give far to much of the films story away. That's why when re-visting Alfred Hitchcock's THE BIRDS, I happened to catch his ingenious promotional trailer for this classic horror film. Using ambiguous bird facts rolled out in his witty, humorous drone, he keeps you confused and wondering, WTF, until the final last seconds. And even then you just get a taste of what is to come, truly a perfect teaser. So sit back and watch the master promote a movie without giving away the best part of a cinematic experience, "the surprise". THE BIRDS Trailer:
