The Trailer for Clint's Movie!!

When I was in 2nd year university (the first time around!), one of the girls i was living with (Daria) had been cast as an extra in the 1995 film "To Die For" starring Nicole Kidman and Joaquin Phoenix. The film had been shot at her highschool just outside Toronto the year before. My best friend's brother was also in the film and I seem to recall he had a bigger role, maybe even a line... he was a good looking kid with amazing long sandy blond hair, just like his sister, Christy.

So, when the movie was released, we all trundled down to the cinema with great excitement, anticipating what our friends might look like on the big screen. I remember the scene that Daria was in; Nicole Kidman was exiting a car in slow motion, and there in the background, stood Daria. Of course, no regular movie-goer would have noticed her, it was Nicole who was the obvious subject of the shot, but we were transfixed, as if somehow this made our friend famous! What is it about the smallest shot of ourselves or someone we know on film that gives us such excitement, or makes us lose our heads?? Even in a case like this where literally, no one else would have noticed Daria's three seconds of fame!!

Later, when Christy's brother appeared, tossing his beautiful hair back, she could no longer contain herself. She jumped from her seat right there in the cinema and pointed to the screen shouting, "That's my brother!" Hilarious. I still chuckle to myself over that.

And so, the first time i watched the trailer to Clint's movie (which is his directorial debut) I found myself childishly thinking in much the same terms as my 19-year-old self back in those days. With giddy excitement, i thought: "I was right there when they shot that scene!" and "I know the director!!" And most embarrassingly, as the final line of the trailer was delivered, I exuberantly exclaimed to myself "Go Daniel Go!"

And so, with the same sentiment as my 18-year-old friend standing and shouting in a public cinema, i present to you, the trailer for Clint's movie;
