Lucy In The Sky Trailer: Natalie Portman’s Film Beautifully Explores the Vastness of the Space, Mind and Filmmaking (Watch Video)
The spectacular first trailer of Natalie Portman starrer Lucy In The Sky hit the internet today. It uses a technique as simple as changing the aspect ratio of the screen to represent what is going on in the mind of the lead character. Lucy, an astronaut, has returned from space and everything is dwarfed back home in comparison with space.
The first footage of the upcoming movie, Lucy In The Sky, dropped on the internet today. The movie stars Natalie Portman in the lead. After watching the first trailer of Lucy In The Sky, it is so tough to bracket it into one or two genres. It is a sci-fiction film as much as it is a psychological drama. Also, there are elements of fantasy and thrillers. Natalie plays the titular character Lucy, who is an astronaut. After returning to Earth following a spacewalk, she starts seeing her surroundings, her home, her life as minuscule when compared to the vastness of the universe. She desperately pines to go back. In the process, she starts losing her mental stability, it seems. Well, this film will keep us busy while we wait for Natalie to become female-Thor in Love and Thunder.
The trailer for Lucy In The Sky is brilliantly cut. It changes the aspect ratio to 4:3 when Lucy returns to Earth from a wide format. It represents how Lucy's perspective towards the world shifted. It represents how things got shrunk for her, plunging viewers into her POV. Sheer brilliant use of a very simple technique.
Lucy In The Sky trailer is brimming with spectacular imagery. Natalie brings her A-game to the table with an on-point Texas accent. BTW, if that is not all for you, there is Jon Hamm in the movie as well.
