Our Take On The Hurry Up Tomorrow Trailer
The Soundscape Is Chaotic (But Interesting)
TheHurry Up Tomorrowtrailer still keeps the plot arc vague, leaving a lot of mystery between now and the movie’s May 16 release date. The trailer does seem to capture the spirit of The Weeknd’s music and live performances, even showing some of his color-saturated moments of song. The trailer is also inundated with music, sound, and noise, creating anerve-wracking feeling for the moviethat may hint at the protagonist’s tortured psyche. All of these tonal qualities could helpHurry Up Tomorrowsink or swim, as it could either be uniquely woven or discordant and clashy.
