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.
My friend calls my life stories rage bait. So probably really piss people off.
Oh, i love these movies, where I can relax in my arm chair and just nod off, then wake up for the news. My movie would be one of those.
Public access c-movie that airs once and the tape gets lost in a studio fire
A boy untreated for ADHD detected by 3rd grade teacher flounders and is entirely cringe for 90% of their childhood, transitions into the goth subculture in a tiny Ohio town, brainwashed by his parents who are dog whistle racist republicans who never vote, joins the military, incrementally improves their worldviews while still struggling with ADHD and associated psychological traumas that lead to being released from service just a few months after September 11th, joined by girlfriend soon to be wife the now man refuses to return home and sets down roots with his love and learns tough lessons about “bootstraps” ultimately breaking the brainwashing. A heart warming and tear jerking movie continues on as genetic issues the wife had become more evident and impactful as well as in both of their sons in addition to to mental health struggles the family makes things work despite everyone being in various states of unwellness. One man’s determination to keep hope alive and provide for his sick family. 6/10 unbelievable drama
I’m afraid mine would be the kind of story you can skip large sections of and still not lose the plot
Middle-class white person grows up to do middle-class white people things. PhD portion of the story seemed promising but fell short of expectations. At least the lead couple is kind of funny. 2/5 stars
Boring Days - Directed by Wim Wenders. It could work.
Denis Villenueve directing with Roger Deakins on cinematography will definitely make my life look way more epic than it actually is. The slow burn style will work though.
Even with some artistic liberties and exaggerations, my life movie would be really fucking boring
I think people would find it pretty good actually. Story of perseverance in the face of adversely. Lots of twists, and massive payoff.
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.3/10 - So many bad decisions, I found myself shouting at the screen. Feel bad movie of the year.
It would get panned for having such an unbearable protagonist. Both boring and incompetent, he bungles his way through one tedious life event after another. Nothing of meaningful consequence happens.
B flick about a transmom that smokes weed and plays video games, has no friends, is sex-starved, and is waiting for death. 3% on Rotten Tomatoes.
If Daria got a movie and it did pretty well, surely you can.
There are a few interesting parts. I don’t know if it would make a good movie but the music is pretty good.
