Hopefully, I answered your question.
So, let's say I offered you three films, but you don't know what they are. But I give you the following information:
Film number 1: It won Best Picture from The National Society of Film Critics. It won Best Director at a significant film festival. It won Best Foreign Film. Many critics call it the best film of the year, for the year it was released. It's nearly 3 hours long.
Film number 2: It was recently voted the best film of the 21st century by critics. It's director has a very identifiable style and is known to break a lot of rules with regard to film grammar. It's cinematographer is well known.
Film number 3: A worldwide prestigious film poll places it in the top 20 greatest films ever made. It's director has received high praise from directors around the world. In fact, directors and critics alike nearly worship him, and make pilgrimages to his gravesite. It's at least 50 years older than film number 1 and film number 2.
Now, would you, given your film experience, seek out any of those films, or in fact does one sound more interesting than the other? Or would you discount them all, if you were informed that they are all foreign films? Which one sounds the most intriguing?
Confusing! So you can't help but be curious about Film number 1, but 2 sparks your curiosity, and 3 sounds great. Ask yourself why all of these films are essentially loved by people who watch a lot of films. There must be something going on there. And that means that, perhaps despite the reaction you might have to trailers or clips, there's probably something amazing going on within these films that can only be digested after watching them.
Basically, what I'm saying, is, by applying this obvious method, and forgoing your reaction to the trailers, you should watch the films, which can lead you in different directions.
Let's start with the trailer to film number 1. You absolutely cannot predict the way you might be moved emotionally, or how the film might (and will) speak to you, regardless of your personal taste. That's why these films are so highly praised. Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F6tSorwYqw
