[Update: THEME: "Be true to yourself" GENRE: Drama SETTING: GLP-like conversations at univ. campus] Maybe you have a story about how you came to open your eyes. How did mine begin? I saw an ad. on TV several years ago about a coming major world-wide television event called 'the Secret'. Interested to find what it was about, I googled it and up came a link to GLP. And so it began... A bit boring for a movie though. (BTW, it was not the Secret which opened my eyes, but GLP.) Last Edited by Dolphin on 04/20/2009 03:29 AM |

Good story, Jdd. We'd need to pick a hero and a villian, though. The story needs to be told through the hero's experiences, and either they should 'wake up', or suffer in a way that makes the audience 'wake up'. Is Trinity the villian? If so, this could be hidden until the climax. Interesting to think about... |

Is the villian best left faceless, or should there be a 'Don', who may or may not be a puppet him/herself? I'm also wondering if it's better to have the hero aware of what's going on early - with no-one believing him/her - and desperate chases/suspense the whole way, or to have strange things happening that he/she doesn't believe until the climax... The goal will be to have people walking out of the theatre and really thinking about it themselves, not to just move on to the next bit of entertainment. |

There's something special about the amount of change that a young person can undergo, and the reaction of their peers who can see the change but don't understand it.

[Update: THEME: "Be true to yourself" GENRE: Drama SETTING: GLP-like conversations at univ. campus] Yeah, the (unassuming)college student hero is good. No, Trin couldn't be the hero... too obvious. He might instead represent generic well-meaning good (that's in us all, but that only has an opportunity to manifest if circumstances/karma are right). And then, perhaps only partially. Perhaps the college unconsciously expresses some fundamental hero quality that Trin consciously strives towards, but is frustrated in achieving because of his life choices. So in watching the younger hero emerge and take the stage, our Trin gets to ponder a life that, to a degree, took itself off in another direction. At face value, it might seem that the rich/famous would-be hero has it all... but the college kid hero (who has nothing) is still enough of a blank canvas to be able to actualize a purity of spirit that's required in order to meet the challenge. Hmmmm. |

[Update: THEME: "Be true to yourself" GENRE: Drama SETTING: GLP-like conversations at univ. campus] Im thinking the story line should be circular. By that I mean the story ends just like it starts. That was a nice suprise that Stephen King played out in the Dark Tower Series (Which took a few years to write). That way the storyline is going to produce a different effect than the regular diatribe crap that comes out of, well you know where ever most of those "Hit" movies come from. With the Alpha-Omega storyline you would in effect, encapsulate the story. The college kid is an admirable effort, but Im thinking we should show it from the Nararators point of view. Whats the old saying? You cant always trust the Nararator. I think that comes from Poe. Anyway, why not go for the gold and have the main protagonist/antagonist (either can be the hero) be an Alien. Show that point of view. The ET can be wise or evil. The underlying theme could, could be about how the ET controls the minds of men/women to make them sell out their fellow citizens (I mean you gotta say sheople once in the movie) You could use all the usual villians/heros that live here on our beloved site. Illuminati, Bildebergs, Gov, Trolls, Shills etc... You should be able to find three or four of the main characters through that loop. Once you nailed down specific characters you could then create them as you need them. Even do a backstory on one if need be. Ok, sorry to be so long winded. Heres a taste: Screen Black: add SFX. From the blackness a vibration begins to rumble in the fabric of time and space itself. A Crimson lightning shape starts to emerge from the top left of the screen. Pan to center the rip. As the rip enlarges increase SFX to heighten the electricity building up. Dive into the rip and it would be a Mandlebrat Set of a Malicious looking Fractal. The Fractal would pass the camera and the angle would shift to show the new rip/wave heading off towards the Milky-Way Galaxie. Somewhere in the Fractal the camera would zoom in to show the Ship of the ET embedded in the Fractal. Cut screen and go to next storyboard. Now using the Alpha/Omega storyline, you have the ending of the story already. You simply replay the same event, but from a different perspective. Oh well that was just off the top of my head. So Im game. I want to contribute. Later |

[Update: THEME: "Be true to yourself" GENRE: Drama SETTING: GLP-like conversations at univ. campus] Interesting idea, Phasephere. Reminds me of the film by Akira Kurosawa, 'Rashomon', where the same event is seen through many eyes. Perhaps the circularity moves not just on a timeline, but across the group of characters, who all experience one core (archetypal) dynamic of the plot in their own space/time continuum. Meaning, timeline's not the driver, so much as time/place/circumstance and consciousness of each person. In this way, you could demonstrate the moral of the story over and over, nuanced, as diversely as the characters themselves.

[Update: THEME: "Be true to yourself" GENRE: Drama SETTING: GLP-like conversations at univ. campus] Already some pretty cool ideas. Love the circular concept. It reminds me of the BOOM-BUST depression cycle which TPTB orchestrate. (I can even see a time-travel twist in which an apprentice kills his master who it turns out is actually the same person who at some stage goes back in time to complete the loop, to be killed by a younger version of himself! Anyway, that's probably another idea not suitable for this purpose...) I also really like the idea that after the DOOM we begin understanding the true nature of reality, and its implications for our understanding of telepathy, telekinesis, etc. However, we do have to be careful about overloading the audience with ideas. We don't want to distract them from the message we are trying to convey. (And we shouldn't get locked into sci-fi just yet.) Very quickly, we can get a lot of really good ideas, so I think I want to step back for just a moment to help guide these ideas. Everything must come down to one thing: the theme of this film. So, I think we need to identify the essence of GLP as a theme that we can convey. Personally, I'd love to tell the sheople (which, yes, MUST be said in the film!) about so many things, but it'd be even better if we could convey one thing to them, that one thing would make them go out and seek out this huge amount of great information for themselves, or ask others who know about it. So, for a theme (to help guide the ideas), I propose the following: "Everyone will wake up to their life at some point. Better make sure that your death sentence isn't your wake-up call." Perhaps that's a bit long-winded? Suggestions are welcome. But at least it conveys the point. If we can convey this one (or closely related) message, then maybe a few more people will seek out answers. Thoughts? |

[Update: THEME: "Be true to yourself" GENRE: Drama SETTING: GLP-like conversations at univ. campus] You know Dolphin, this is going to be a work in progress and all ideals should be considered. I also agree though, we need some kind of working storyline, and that should take shape in time. Right now its just going to be deciding what the main storyline is going to look like. Once we have a basic structure, character developement will become easier for us. The hard part is going to be how to decide what to "cut/edit". We might even think on a grander scale and try to make a trilogy. Just a thought. Ok, Lets see if I can be constructive to the process here. Lets take the concept. Most successful written works are based on certain tried and true concepts, like good vs evil or Love and Hate, the good guys always win in the end. So we would have to decide early what method we want. Im assuming it would be some kind of inspiring plot. Its hard not to go in a certain Sci-Fi kind of direction, with the way that GLP works. Its sort of overwhelming, but Im sure we can come up with something extraordinary. Something cool, I just thought of, is that you could use the Avatars of the members who contribute in the credits instead of names. I dont know, it just seems that the Avatars may become something we could use, to make it uniquely GLP. Concept 2: Screen: Inside a multi-tiered building, Library. A group of people are seen sitting at a table looking at a monitor. The camera swings in to the monitor and the view would be of a page/thread on GLP. Character X starts to speak: Character X: "I guess we dont have anymore doubts as to the validity of this thread" He grabs the arm of a woman standing next to him. "We've got to handle this with kid gloves, or we will be exposed" "The wave is coming" or "Financial Meltdown is certain" or "The Illuminati have found us" or etc... Man Abstract can get confusing. Anyway, I'll stay here as long as you need me to. Ive been thinking about it all day. Stay tuned....... |
