Plot Ideas for a Movie / Film
PLOT
IDEAS FOR A MOVIE / FILM
1. An artist starts dreaming of a woman. He draws her face again
and again for months. Finally, one day, his mother visits, and he shows her the
drawings. She collapses in a heap, sobbing, revealing at last, that she'd kidnapped
him when he was only two years old, and she says, "AND THAT WOMAN IS YOUR
REAL MOTHER."
2. It's a paradigm shift. It's real. It happens. Everyone
experiences it. Every person suddenly and with complete conviction hears the
same tune playing in the background of their minds. Not an obfuscation, but
there. Take us through that experience as folks figure out they're all tuned to
the same channel.....and haven't a clue about why or what the song could mean,
but now without a doubt that something did something to everyone, and no one
knows what that something is intending. Show us the true believers, the haters,
the CIA, the children on laps, the crowd at a football game.....discover for us
what that bombastic but real event would be like and make us AFRAID and longing
for the silence no one will ever know again.
3. A man steps into the sunlight on the solstice at Stonehenge, and
from that point on, he's beleaguered by a constant flow of miracles that only
he can see. For instance, he drops a handful of coins, and they all come up
heads, but when he points it out to a passerby, the passerby says, "Yeah,
right, nice try." Or, he kicks a stone that rolls a bit, hit something
else that, yep, Rube Goldbergishly, continues animating a dozen other items
over a long period of time, and again, no one sees but him, and he is never
believed. Any time he throws a stone on water, it skips twenty times. Like that
like that. At the end of the story, he comes to a private detente with this
fate.
4. All the animals on Earth disappear suddenly. Gone. Alien
abduction, whatever, but gone. Make the reader feel the heartbreak and the
growing clarity of the doom now on the horizon.
5. A priest discovers his long lost identical twin is a Mafia don.
This brother is dying when he contacts him, they bond, and the don gives his
priest brother the checking accounts, the lock boxes, the hideouts, the books,
the secrets, the places where the dead are buried, etc. and begs him to
"undo all I have done, be the good me." The priest has to handle some
other mafioso just as his brother breathes his last, and the priest easily sees
how he could pull it off when the mafioso is entirely fooled. We see him
closing a door, but we know, he's opening a bigger one. Fade into the
sunset.....with a girl oh his arm ...you know, like always....only not ever
again.
6. An avatar, a Quantum God, manifests on the floor of the stock
exchange and gives a Sermon On The Mount type of soliloquy as He easily bats
away the security guards while at the same time transfixing the brokers into
rapt attendance by the awe of THE moment of all moments in history. And toss in
some T & A somehow.
