The story must be true, you can’t fake the story. You can exaggerate parts of it, but you can’t completely make shit up. You’re allowed to omit small awkward moments, but you can’t omit major events.
Mine is probably gonna be a two part movie. Part one is the history already behind me. It’s gonna tragic and dark AF, and probably cringe, but probably gonna get a lot of pity points because of how fucked up it is. Probably like 7.5/10 at least.
Idk if I’d like it, because it’d include my darkest moments.
Then for part 2… yea idk if that’ll ever come. Probably in 5 decades (or earlier if I die).
I feel like part 2 is gonna suck. I’m gonna have the craziest childhood ever, so much build up in backstory, then part 2 doesn’t end up justifying the movies, because I’m not gonna be able to achieve much in life, and its just gonna become another shitty slice of life. Probably 4/10 for part 2, at least that’s what I’m predicting.
Depends tho. If I get murdered while doing political activities or become a martyr, part 2 could turn into a 8/10 movie. Otherwise I’m just gonna die of illness or old age which is a very boring movie. GoT style botched ending lol.
Honestly, I’d like to see my life on the big screen. Every story I write, and characters I make, have elements of what I have experienced on my life, so a realistic depiction of my life could be interesting.
To boil down the plot: Kid growing up in awful conditions (and I mean awful), with shitty but compelling parents. Does a lot terrible stuff when growing up and eventually meets an equally (maybe slightly more) broken person. Together they learn to love the other and themselves.
The movie wouldn’t be afraid to depict those terrible moments, so you could truly get to see how awful that person was, and decide for yourself whether they deserve the good things happening in their life, or deserve the punishment they never got. I think that’d be my goal. To show myself as transparently as possible, without pushing my representation either way, to see how people would react to me leaving my past behind and finding happiness.
The movie would also heavily touch in the subjects of: SA and CSA, religion trauma, neurodivergence, mental ilnesses and late diagnosis, the true impact of divorced parents, a shaky gender journey, terrible and extremely cringeworthy teen romance, paired with the most complex strangers-to-friends-to-lovers-to-friends-to-enemies-to-strangers-to-friends-to-lovers-to-it’s-complicated you’ve ever seen, and a whole lot of self loathing.
I’d also invest big on music. Music means so much to me and that has to be reflected on the movie.
I think the movie could become somewhat of a success thanks to the controversy it would spark. I estimate a 50% of people would side with the protagonist and praise the movie for showcasing such a raw journey of self improvement, and so many would see themselves reflected on the story and be touched at how despite how unworthy and unlovable you may feel, good things can happen to you.
The other 50% would find the movie outrageous. They would bash it for downplaying the terrible stuff done by the protagonist and how “they never got what they deserved”. They’d preach the movie is harmful for displaying a story with a happy ending for the scum of the earth, and how that is the entire focus of the story and appearently the moral of the story.
