Netflix’s obsession with WWII stories continues in ‘All the Light We Cannot See’

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Netflix doesn’t shy away from war stories, and the most recent examples of this notion are War Sailor and Transatlantic. Nevertheless, viewers across the globe aren’t complaining, because Netflix is bringing ‘All the Light We Cannot See’ to their screens! If the title sounds familiar, then you most likely have come across Anthony Doerr's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, with the same title. Whether or not you have read the novel, you are in for a treat, and Netflix has made sure you know that.

‘All the Light We Cannot See’, starring Mark Ruffalo, now has an official teaser trailer and a release date, which is more than enough for fans to swoon over until the limited series release.

Netflix has graciously blessed us with the official teaser trailer of ‘All the Light We Cannot See’ way ahead of its release, and everyone is more than grateful about this. Despite only being a teaser, the runtime is 2:37 minutes, giving viewers a deeper look into what they can expect from this limited series. One would think that a teaser almost three minutes long would have to be dialogue heavy, but that isn’t the case with ‘All the Light We Cannot See.’ There are no dialogues at all, albeit, several emotions are portrayed in this WWII story. Without a doubt, by the end of this teaser, you will be covered with goosebumps.

The ‘All the Light We Cannot See’ teaser trailer boasts a star-studded cast along with a somber and calm vibe, almost as if it takes place just as the storm approaches. By the end of this teaser, you will find yourself re-watching it over and over again, not only to spot all the actors and actresses but also to take in the experience. Although ‘All the Light We Cannot See’ is being adapted into a limited series by Netflix, we hope someday it takes over the big screen.

What can you expect from the upcoming limited series, ‘All the Light We Cannot See’?

As mentioned before, ‘All the Light We Cannot See’ takes place during the Second World War, but there’s a fair bit of uniqueness tagged along with this series, which is glaringly visible in the teaser trailer. ‘All the Light We Cannot See’ follows the story of Marie-Laure and her father Daniel LeBlanc, and their journey to flee Paris, but of course, this journey is met with various trials and tribulations, but also, hope and love. Just like a glimpse at the teaser, we can garner that ‘All the Light We Cannot See’ is going to portray a story like never before, especially with the backdrop of WWII.

While the premise of ‘All the Light We Cannot See’ is enthralling enough to keep us hooked, it is the variety of characters seen in the teaser that truly caught our attention. There will certainly be several interesting subplots in ‘All the Light We Cannot See’ considering it is a limited series, and we cannot wait to see what Netflix has in store for its viewers.

‘Making a good trailer is such an art’

One of the main reasons fans have huddled around the teaser of ‘All the Light We Cannot See’ is because it is based on a popular novel, which has been read and loved by millions across the globe. While the teaser looks incredibly promising, fans can’t help but worry if it will live up to the excellent benchmark set by the book. One user praised the trailer and wrote, "Making a good trailer is such an art. This is just excellent."

Fans are also appreciating the everlasting beauty of a silent trailer, especially one that has managed to express a million words and emotions in less than three minutes. A user seemed quite eager to watch the series as they wrote, "Wow. Not a single word is spoken in this trailer. And yet, goosebumps. I haven't had a movie trailer give me goosebumps/chills like this in a long time. But we have to wait until November!"

And as we mentioned before, fans of the book are keen on comparing the book with the limited series, and can only hope that the latter is as good as the former. One such fan wrote, "Ooh I remember finding this book during college and loving how the story weaves together. I hope the movie does it justice," while another added, "I cannot wait to see All The Light We Cannot See. I’ve had it in my mind’s eye since reading the beautiful book."

Fans have also made their way to the teaser's comment section on Netflix's YouTube Channel and said, "I love how there is no dilalouge in the trailer----it's just visuals. Everybody can tell what this movie is about. This is gonna get Emmy nominations for sure....I can tell."
