A trailer, like a book cover, is to tease you to look t the book. ( one of the most major mistakes of book jackets is to be too knowing about the book it is on....just enough.

I think this trailer, as I've written, is teasingly about the new tech elite .....and a marvelous meta-take by TRP on the auteur...as I've sketched.....
