Teasers for 'Tropico' Released on YouTube

[prettydrugs 456]

this is the only thing that made me smile in like a month, can't stop watching it, it's already so beautiful 

[evilentity 13,343]

Oh God. This movie will be glorious! Can't wait to get my knickers in a twist about cultural appropriation! *rubs hands together gleefully*

I was joking!!  

Ha, but what if it does engage in offensive appropriation?

 

And then posed as David Kahne. I was thinking they were very similar too...which would mean "Diamond Ring" produced by David Kahne is also a real thing because it was from the same soundcloud, but someone didn't want us to spoil their find?

While I'd love for "Diamond Ring" produced by David Kahne to be a real thing, I sincerely hope nobody's dicking us around posing like that. I fucking hate that kind of shit.

Ha, but what if it does engage in offensive appropriation?

I only speak about offensive appropriation if I have the knowledge and some sort of extensive exposure (worded kinda oddly) to the culture. (Or y'know, I'm a part of it). Googling information and lacking some sort of gateway to the culture, like extensive exposure, doesn't really suffice.

 

I don't know anything about Dia de Muertos. I have never been exposed to it in person. I've never even met a Mexican person in my life!   

 

If it does engage in offensive appropriation, I hope that there's someone on the forum (ideally, a part of the culture  ) that can explain the significance to it and why it is offensive. Conversely, I would say that I also hope there's someone on the forum of the culture that can explain why it ISN'T offensive, but I'm sure we'll have that base covered.

omg it's so colourful and the background at 0:03 looks so trashy and plastic but also beautiful 

 

i'm so excited how this scenes will match those we've seen so far like those urban scenes with the car and the club scenes. i can imagine that those flying 'bel air' scenes could be edited in a similar way (very bright, many lights/reflections...)

 

the aspect ratio may be good for big screens like a cinema or smth but i don't like it that much (watching it on an ipad will be terrible tbh)

that prism effect tho

[Viva 3,169]

Lana is too youtube what Cher is too Twitter. God.

[radiodasirius 637]

@Diva I feel all your pain. And I love the colors a, it's gorgeously tropical feeling and psychedelic

[technicolor 243]

I love that little bitch comment   People are so entitled nowadays! Great to get a timeframe for the release, it looks like nothing I thought it would and I can't wait to see the whole thing.

[Creyk 11,699]

I'm just so relieved that it is actually happening!

And it looks flawless, the light effects are gorgeous!

Real curious how will the put Aliens in this though.... UFO gangsters?

[PrettyBaby 2,219]

Can't wait to collect my C-Note from @@Monicker!   

 

I for one plan on crying        

[Kittren 209]

Woooow. Is it real, or is it just fantasy?  

 

I am excited again. Hope it is coming for real.

Can't wait to collect my C-Note from @@Monicker!   

 

 

Also can't wait to bust out this quote:

Oh yeah?

 

I don't believe the same person who wrote a line like "elvis is my daddy, marilyn's my mother" said that

[Kittren 209]

I hope 2 weeks, is actually 2 weeks in Lana's world.

[Heaux 1,399]

well that was fucking hilarious

[Guest Dot]

I'm literally so overwhelmed right now I have no idea what to think or say...I really can't find the right words to describe how these 12 seconds made me feel about this.

[The Queen Of Saigon 21]

I'm sooo excited

 

[sweetlana 450]

[Trash Magic 28,381]

just remembering all the scenes they filmed. I'm so excited for this now 

[Zagato 235]

And the world stands still today... Definitely the best news I've seen in weeks

Since I watched that trailer for about 15 times, I'm ready for the complete version of Tropico more than ever. Already praying 

I think also that there're going to be loads of references to other things in Tropico. Very curious about this!

I'm sure that there will follow a full analysis here on Lanaboards when Tropico is released.

 

Stil wondering how the short movie's going to be released though. In the beginning Lana was speaking about the cinema I think but is it still so?

And for the the time left waiting, I just ride
