Analysis - This is the end (trailer)

The trailer for This is the end begins by setting the scene off a big Hollywood party were various famous actors and stars are heading to. The actors are all playing versions of themselves, as persevered by the public or a more accentuated version of themselves. actors like Seth Rogan plays the same character he normally plays of a lovable oaf who doesn't allays fully understand things and Michael Cara plays a extremely obnoxiousness and annoying person who most other people will hate, this is a contrast to the normal character he plays who is a shy, nerdy, geek. This is a comedy film as show by the jokes being the main focus of the trailer. It is set in modern very expensive Hollywood mansion and in the surrounding town. There is a heavy rap song playing through out the trailer that both adds a serious and more action element and take the piss out of the rap music genre by playing the serious song over a set of comical scene.

When they decide to resolve the situation and survive the apocalypses they fortify the house in a comical manner by putting one piece of duck tape over a crack and putting random stuff cover doorways and take stock of their food stores. They argue over who will get the milky way, this is a stupid and trivial thing to care so much about especial in an apocalypse. It makes fun of the idea that Hollywood actors are all divas and pathetically ill equip for the world. The theme of hell and the rapture is repeated as we see a bottomless pit opens up next to the house, demons running around and people ascending up in a beam of blue light. This scenario for the world ending has been chosen to promote the idea that Hollywood is evil and the actors have been left for their sinful films.
As they try and survive we see they are almost killed a number of times and are almost helpless to the situation that they find themselves in, demonstrated mostly when Emma Watson, the actress who played a classically geeky little English girl in the harry potter series breaks in and steals their food and water and breaks one of their noses.
This is also used as another slapstick style joke that recuses through out the film, it also shows how weak and pathetic the actors are; they cant survive in the real world.
