I feel like everyone has had a movie partially spoiled by a trailer but I also feel like descriptions, movie posters, and even genre tags can be a give away and make a plot twist or scene less impactful.
One movie I vaguely remember watching without any context was the 2021 movie Oxygen. I enjoyed it but I feel like it would have been slightly more predictable if I had looked at the genre tags and that would have effected my enjoyment.
I feel like you need to have a pretty good sense of someone’s tastes to make a “trust me”-style recommendation like this.
Though trailers being free and giving away all the action and plot is awesome when you lack money to see said movie. It’s basically a super condensed version that they just give away! I’ve seen 19 movies this year and it only took 26 minutes and $0.
*only kind of a joke
you know you can always sail the high seas instead of begging for movie scraps
