“Chris Evans Stunned Me in the ‘Materialists’ Trailer with His Line About Wrinkles and Children”

A compelling movie trailer can either elevate or diminish the audience’s anticipation. While some trailers lay everything out, others tease just enough to pique interest. The trailer for Materialists left a profound impact on me, delivering an emotional punch that I wasn’t prepared for.

In the film, John, portrayed by Chris Evans, struggles to find his path in life while sharing a home with a roommate. His past intertwines with Lucy, played by Dakota Johnson, as they cross paths again at a wedding. This reunion introduces Harry, brilliantly played by Pedro Pascal, creating a classic love triangle that is central to the story.

However, it was a particular line from John that deeply resonated with me. He tells Lucy in a voiceover: “When I see your face, I see wrinkles and children that look like you. Where does that leave us?” If someone expressed that sentiment to me, I would be instantly smitten.

This quote joins the ranks of unforgettable romantic lines that have tugged at my heartstrings over the years. The last time I experienced such a rush was when I heard Waymond Wang say, “In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you” in Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. These moments of romantic expression have truly become an art form.

Romantic lines can sometimes veer into cheesy territory if not delivered authentically. Yet, in this instance, I could vividly imagine a man genuinely sharing this thought, prompting me to wonder, “Where’s my declaration of love?” This bodes well for the potential of Materialists.

Heartfelt Moments in Romance

The most memorable romantic lines often appear when you least expect them. For instance, “I love you and I like you” from Parks and Recreation never fails to choke me up. Reminiscing about popular romantic comedies from the 1990s and early 2000s, we eagerly awaited those iconic lines that defined our cinematic experiences.

Considering that Materialists included this profound line in its trailer, I anticipate an emotional rollercoaster. While I don’t want to overhype it, this film could signify a revival for the romance genre. It’s refreshing to see a trailer so direct about its romantic narrative.

Is the plot as straightforward as it appears? I’m not entirely sure, but hearing a line like “When I see your face, I see wrinkles and children that look like you. Where does that leave us?” would undoubtedly leave a lasting impression—especially coming from a talented actor like Pedro Pascal.

I genuinely believe that we are witnessing a resurgence of quality romantic films. Watching this trailer stirred something within me, demonstrating the power of passionate storytelling. I’m thrilled to see visionary directors like Celine Song bring such heartfelt narratives to life.
