[warning: spoiler for Cinderella Man]

Talking with a friend of mine:

I - So you've seen Cinderella Man?

He - Yes.

I - Is it any good?

He - Yeah, I liked it.

I - Tell me if the movie story is like this: the guy is a boxer, he wins pretty much everything, and then he loses. He's unemployed, he has a wife and kids to take care of, finally somebody believes in him and helps him out getting back on the ring, and he ends up winning everything. Am I right?

He - Yeah... pretty much... you read the book?

I - No. Now you see why I don't like movie trailers?

And the thing is, I know that sometimes you see a trailer and you get the sensation you already know the story but you really don't and the movie ends up surprising you anyway, but... if you already have that sensation... why would you go to the see that movie?
