Royal Tennenbaums Trailer



Couldn't find the opening to Royal Tenenbaums, but there are pieces of it in the trailer. It consists of all the characters as if in a play, listed with their names and the character's names. It is shot to make it look like they are looking into a mirror. Very nice idea, then alone, how they see themselves. Gives a good insight as to who the characters are, and how they choose to see them selves. Eli Cash (Owen Wilson) appears to be the most vain out of the bunch, because he is placing his hat in a very distinct way, whilst Margot (Gweneth Paltrow) seems distant, staring into the mirror frankly, uncaring, which matches her personality in the movie. This coupled with location, gives the viewer a sense of how the character's spend their time (at the salon, getting a face mask...) It serves as a good into into the film, as the movie picks up from the last opening credit, back to following a script.
