davjohns 1 #54 January 13, 2011 Quote Quote I quit identifying with Christians years ago. I got tired of seeing their hateful protests at abortion centers. Pictures of dead babies didn't seem right to me. I got tired of being cut off or flipped of on the road and seeing their bumper sticker inviting me to follow them to church. I got tired of having them try to shove their views down my throat. With all due respect sir, I'm having a little trouble buying your story. It reminds me of a bad student/independant film where the director/editor failed to establish the propper rapport between the main characters and the audience. First...In your plot, the world seems to be over populated with speed demon christians that bombard the roadways cutting everybody off and flipping them the bird and flashing pictures of bloody fetuses. It is so overbearing that it causes the main character to grow so exasperated and weary that it leads him to abandon his faith. Second...Your character sounds like he doesn't want to identify with christianity because it is all about dead babies and giving people the finger as they try to brainwash you while confined in a straight jacket. The third reason I'm not buying the story is that it almost seems analogous to saying "I quit identifying with being a good person because there was this one guy who said he was a good person, but one day he got really ticked off at somebody and told them to piss off!" But see...I don't think that's who our audience wants. I think they want a man who is solid in his convictions...who is steadfast and stands firm. They don't want somebody that's so easily swayed by a couple nutjobs as to negate his whole belief system....However, I think I'm starting to divert a little too much from the essence of the character you oringinally proposed. So here is my professional opinion. I think it would be a more believable plot if the main character altogether just didn't identify with christianity. He simply just doesn't believe. But rather than being comfortably confident in that mind set, there is a struggle deep within the receses of his mind. There is something naggin him...a vexation that is causing him to become more and more uneasy about his disbelief...and he hates it...he wants it gone! So instead of reconciling this concern with the postive aspects of christianity, he dwells on any and every negative aspect that can be even remotely associated with christianity so that he can simply feel better about his disbelief. ...Now this is your film, this is your baby. I'm simply a consaultant that's been in this business for 15 years...but if you like what we have to say and would like to see our ideas of your masterpiece come alive on the silver screen, we have a very large network of some very talented directors and production staff that can have this rolling out on the red carpet this time next year. Just make the check payable to Dr. Coreece at Divine interceptation media consultation and I'll have Andy and Lawrocket take care of the rest. Regards... (btw, I'm not trying to be a smart ass...I'm just projecting my boredom with being an editor. I think I want to get back into the pre-production aspect of the entertainment business...you know, the big collaboration meetings and brainstorming sessions...just making shit happen. Hopefully my point didn't get too diluted and that you found it a tad entertaining?) That was cute. I enjoyed it tremendously. My point was that I see too many openly declaring themselves to be Christian without walking the walk. There is a Jewish concept about this that was ordered by Rabi Yeshua, but Christians are unfamiliar with his teachings. They mostly know church doctrine; the groundwork for which was laid hundreds of years after his death.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
