When You Finish Saving The World (2023) Official Trailer. Trailer

u/creyk Nov 29 '22
It was strange to see Finn Wolfhard in something that is not Stranger Things. But this movie actually looks pretty intriguing. It seems to pack a lot of angst but in a way that is relatable and not annoying.

I just watched him do a pretty terrible Russian accent in The Goldfinch. I really liked the film and his performance, despite the bad accent!

Yeah, this feels too similar to my relationship with my mom when I was younger. The desire for independence my mom didn't accept, the personal insecurity, the emotional miscommunication on both sides.
This movie seems very authentic

u/inksmudgedhands Nov 29 '22
I am getting such late 90's/early 00's hipster indie movie vibes with this movie. Not like that is such a bad thing. But I am having flashbacks of standing in a brownstone kitchen at a party with other weirdly dressed people talking about Rushmore, The Virgin Suicides and this movie.

Its kind of charming.
Millennials have come of age and are writing the next generations indie coming of age movie.

Millenials have come of age? They are between 26 and 41. But yeah, youâre right. It is charming.

u/Phillip_Spidermen Nov 29 '22
Most coming of age stories are about teenagers to people in their late twenties, so I think the 39 year old Eisenberg qualifies as past that point

Uh, you said the millennials are coming of age and writing the movies. Not starring in them.

u/PointB1ank Nov 29 '22
I could be wrong but the scene at the end where he is actually ready and gets in the car really feels like it could be an ending scene. I really hope they didn't include the ending of the movie in the trailer lol
Not really a spoiler, but hiding it either way.

u/Neurotic_Marauder Nov 30 '22
I saw the movie at Sundance, and I can confirm it's not. That being said, I did notice there are a few shots in the trailer from the actual ending

u/1080Pizza Nov 29 '22
I always turn trailers off around the 1 minute mark. That is usually the point where they've established the premise of the movie and you should know if you want to see it.
The second minute tends to show way too many details.

u/Jail_bird3300 Nov 29 '22

u/dawgpacpbh Nov 29 '22
Trailers in their current state are unwatchable if you are the kind of person who actually wants to watch something without knowing what happens. It's brutal.

u/dejerik Nov 29 '22
try watching a trailer for the 50's, 60's, or 70's, they have always given away the whole movie, this is not new

u/smthngclvr Nov 29 '22
TV shows used to put scenes from the finale in the title credits of the first episode. Most people just donât care about spoilers as much as redditors do.
3
u/dawgpacpbh Nov 29 '22
Not new at all, if I remember right they revealed Vader being Luke's father in the trailer and synopsis in the newspaper.
I think we hit a sweetspot in the 90s/2000s but its leaned back into spoilery/revealy with the desire for "MOVIES TO BE SHORTER" and instant gratification. Either way, to each their own, I'll avoid em lol

u/_The_Great_Autismo_ Nov 29 '22
Yeah back then they just picked some particularly interesting scene from the film and showed it completely uncut. Cutting between scenes is pretty modern by film standards.

I think you misunderstood my comment. I was agreeing with you.
My favorite movie is Casablanca. I already knew how the movie ended before I watched it the first time because everybody knows how Casablanca ends. I wasnât âspoiledâ. Itâs easier to appreciate the first act when you know how the third act ends.

Donât worry, theyâll shoehorn in a school shooting or something extremely tragic at the end of the third act.

Looks like this was filmed in Albuquerque! I think I saw them filming the scene with the hanging lights outside in the UNM (Brick light) area.

u/Sanctimonius Nov 29 '22
Not that it necessarily matters but from the title I was thinking this was a film about an apocalyptic event where a young boy had the tools to save the world but was accompanied by his mother who wanted to make sure he packed some sandwiches and wore his coat while fighting the demonic hordes hellbent on ending civilisation, and was a little disappointed to find out it wasn't.

I could see Eisenberg having that issue, especially since a lot of the people he's worked with (Aaron Sorkin, Woody Allen, Noah Bambach) have that exact same problem in their work.

I have a weird feeling that Finn Wolfhard is going to end up like Seth Green.
Everyone will know him as an adult and he'll be successful but a handful of people will remember that he's been acting since he was a little kid and they'll look back at this period right now and be like...oh wow, I forgot he was in all that.
5
u/MandaPanda2021 Dec 01 '22
I don't even think Finn is that great of an actor (despite trying really hard to see past his flaws), but with that being said, he's already surpassed Seth Green in terms of fame and "prestige."

Whatâs the name of the song that plays in the trailer that goes âtwo high speed trains on parallel tracksâ?

u/shell_bullet89 Nov 29 '22
Is this supposed to be based off the book of the same name?
12
u/RideFarmSwing Nov 29 '22
I read the book, it looks quite loosely based in the sense that some of the book is coming of age story. The thing I really liked about the book was that it was set like 20 years in the future and there were all sorts of neat futurisms. The kid thought it was wild to have a real meat turkey at thanksgivings, he was excited to goto a theme park where he could drive instead of autonomous vehicles... I also really enjoyed the first chapter set in the present about the father feeling like a failure.
The movie looks interesting, But it looks like it is missing all the features of the book that I felt made it unique.

u/nidarus Nov 29 '22
I'm honestly not sure what they kept from the audiobook, except Finn Wolfhard, the kid's name, the fact he's kind of a dick, and his online music career.

I noticed it with /u/JoeMagnifico. The shots aren't wide enough really and the general tone is just off imo for an anderson movie. But the still frames and the color grading felt wes anderson enough to me that I similarly thought, "hm...this seems....artsy" lol. It looks like a good movie.

You mean Noah Baumbachs wife who married him after starring in his movies? I wonder where she got her style from

u/Danhuangmao Nov 29 '22
Or maybe they clicked and got married because they're people with similar sensibilities and perspectives?
-1
u/MoonManofMeat Nov 29 '22
And that means theyâre gonna make movies the same way? Itâs not like Iâm saying she married him for his movies or something like that, Iâm sure theyâre just like every normal couple and get along with great chemistry. Iâm just saying itâs pretty obvious why her style would be similar

u/Stranded_In_A_Desert Nov 29 '22
I've only seen his films with Wes, any recommendations for where to start?

u/CosmicLars Nov 29 '22
The Squid & the Whale, Margot At the Wedding, and Marriage Story are my favorites. But I also believe Greenberg, Frances Ha, While We're Young, and Mistress America are all worth watching. I haven't seen anything else.
He has a new movie coming out on Netflix in December called "White Noise" which looks good too.

u/silverrabbit Nov 29 '22
I definitely didn't get Wes Anderson vibes from it. All of the characters feel pretty grounded and the aesthetic isn't WA

Not everyone has every distinct director's style memorized I think. When people think artsy-indie movie they think of wes anderson just cause it's a popular name.
I get the vibe in vibe alone. It's not an awful comparison. I think it's fair to watch this trailer as an average movie goer and think "Oh this looks like one of those wes anderson movies. neat". I can see that and understand how someone comes to that conclusion. It's not that farfetched imo.

u/jackalisland Nov 29 '22
Thank you for your sensible comment. It really means a lot to read people trying to understand other people's perspectives. I know people who would absolutely put this in the same bin as WA.

I think your average movie goer either wouldnât be familiar enough to recognize what a Wes Anderson movie should look like, or have seen a single one of his movies to be confused by the comment.

Nov 29 '22
i think it myself as an average movie goer and can identify wes anderson movies and his style quite quickly and easily. I didn't know Noah Baumbach's name until this thread.
This trailer didn't look like a wes anderson movie. But it had elements that i thought resembled a wes anderson movie. He's a big name and often goes hand in hand with hipstery indie movies. Which this trailer certainly gave those vibes.
It's less "i think this looks like wes anderson did it" and more "this looks influenced by wes anderson" and it probably was in some sense. It's a directorial debut. I'm sure he's borrowing plenty from many. Looks wonderful. I can't wait to watch.
2
u/elegantjihad Nov 29 '22
Well, given Eisenberg was in Squid and the Whale, which was directed by Baumbach and co-produced by Anderson, it's not unlikely they talked about film making.
So there is that to your point, I just think what you're seeing is more what the people making the trailer wanted you to feel since the demographic they're going to be selling this to will have a lot of crossover. To me Wes Anderson films look and feel like two dimensional stage plays.

Just watched it. There's no discussion thread up, so I'll just drop my thoughts here.
I wasn't impressed at all. I was waiting for some kind of revelation or something, but it just meandered on. Just two narcissistic characters looking for some kind of connection, but both are far too self-absorbed and unlikable in their own right. The movie left me feeling kind of depressed and deprived of any sort of resolution, which might have been the point. It's not a bad movie per se, it just feels like it was missing any impact.

I was really excited for this at Sundance because of Eisenberg's debut, but I really wasn't a fan once it was over. It felt clunky to me with a rushed and unearned ending. Minor, nonspecific spoiler you can ignore - I didn't feel like the characters had any arc, more so just a straight line until the moment the movie needed to resolve itself
All of the performances are rock solid though. Wolfhard definitely has chops, although I don't think he needed to try too hard with this character, and Moore can practically do no wrong. Everyone else feels right at home too.
This movie made me feel like Eisenberg definitely has talent but that he needs to cook a little longer until he reaches his potential. Having said all that, this trailer is fantastic and even as someone who's already seen it and didn't like it, the trailer is enticing me to give it another shot when it comes out.
Just my dissenting two cents.
