Hello All. Yes i'm writing a movie script. It just came to me when i was inspired by my latest video "Then and Now" about my past and items of importance. Go check it out if you want, but this video inspired me to write a movie script for a dramatic movie. The movie will be called "From a Decade without a Chance" and may take 10-20 yeas to actually be underway. Here is the Brief Synopsis.


Short version -

A man whom was conceived at woodstock is later born at his parents apartment in philadelphia whom left him at home to go get clothes and items for the baby. the arrive later to find police, inspectors, and child protection services investigating their apartment. The parents are sent to jail for a number of years. The child ends up going through multiple group homes battling through the same things his parents struggled in and later on, after meeting a friend that would later on co-creating a time machine project, goes into the time machine when it isn't ready for testing, and accidently ends up killing his parents before they met each other, and not knowing who his parents are, he disappears and ceased to exist.


long version -

summary - a man whom was conceived at woodstock undergoes a rough upbringing after his parents, found stoned off their asses at the birthing procedure, was immediately seized by the u.s. government (not sure of town yet, maybe morgantown, wv) and put into several homes, starting at a conservative christian's home in mid july 1970 to which in 1976 was later not admitted due to attempt in self harm and put through multiple homes with no idea of where he came from or who his parents were. He didn't even know his last name due to the jurisdiction of the court. He was given the name Nathan Carver. Nathan had been suicidal since he was 6 and had dabbled in cigarettes, alcohol, and mischief since he was admitted to a home. Every time he had pocketed or earned enough money to buy a train ticket, he crossed the was able to get a ticket to gross the border into canada, but never made it past the train security of allowing a minor to ride alone. When asked where and why he wanted to get on theta train so badly, he answers "It just feels right, you know?" As the years go on, he goes progressively in the wrong direction. Nobody will give him an answer, nobody wants to tell him about his parents, about his family, and at this point, the government has so much hold to him as a minor teenager that they don't disclose any information to him. Nathan was out partying on the night of his 17th birthday when he met a man, a man that would one day make it big but he didn't know it yet. This man's name was Derek. Derek Holmes. Derek was the only right friend that Nathan ever had as a child. He understood him and tried to help him out as much as he could. Nathan's parents were aging, but because of drugs. They don't have much time left. They are only 35. They had one son that made it past abortion, that was nathan, and they have no idea who or where he is or if he is even still out there….

Sounds interesting enough, just maybe try to work on the English, phrasing and such ^^ (also dem typos, gotta make sure there are none ^^)
 
it got WAY too cliche there in the end.
hate to say it.


Ok. how about instead he is born with with two personalities. A normal man on one side and a killer he never knew he had on the other. in the end you find out his whole life he's been the one ruining it for himself, in the end, he has a face to face conversation with his killer-side to finally put the torment to end.

Dosent sound too cliche to me, I don't think i've ever seen a film with that ending. Time travel is a "little" cliche but then so is most everything. The dual personality thing however sounds a lot more cliche to me, as in most people starting film school would do something similar.

lol you would know better than me, but the "killing your parents" thing is much worse, having been done to death or at least spoken of a lot.
 
Honestly, you're leaving out the most of the interesting stuff. What are his stakes in this movie? Where's the personal drama? What's his drive? Your synopsis provides the beats of the movie, but not the motivations. That's what I want to hear about.

Also, it sounds like he grows up not knowing who his parents are. If he's simply been taken away from them because they're in jail, he would have access to info on his parents. It's only when parents give the child up for adoption that they're given the option of sealing the records and becoming anonymous.
