Short movie description

The striking visual image you see first on this film cover is rows of Atomic missiles lined up; pointed cold. This cover, not only shows you just warheads, but also "one" missing out of many created. The Atomic blast, as it appears shallow in the lower foreground, yet appearing so obscene. Gives off a frightening essence of what could only be known as "the spark of war". Even the bright reddish glow around the two countries government buildings', gives off a dreary feeling of confusion and needless to say, creeping death. This creative film title, The Sum of All Fears, carefully illustrates the corruption of greed and power over using countries against each other. The characters shown at the top provide you with a dreary look of what they would encounter towards their journey to prevent a war. Making you wonder what they went through and how it ever came to be this way. Indeed it is not anything you could imagine, of course. However, because their eyes can only show you, not tell you. This perfectly gives you an understanding of the dark twisted story that appears from their cold drawn faces. This film cover then shows you a single man running through the streets, determined to find the answers to prevent a catastrophic war.
This film cover entitled The Sum Of all Fears and its connection between marketing, gives us a couple reasons why it should be bought. The image I have chosen perfectly sets a mood about a dark, suspenseful and dramatic type of movie. However it's more as if the film industry was trying to give us more then just simplistic movie. The film industry was giving us, not so much a simplistic movie, but a movie that could sell; great plot. The plot between getting America and Russia, the two most powerful countries into conflict with each other, what could be a start of nuclear war. This film cover I believe is a perfect film to market.
