When a man?s romantic attentions are ignored by a woman for many years he lures her into a secret meeting with a messenger who proposes an idyllic rendezvous.
He battles with the daughter? Like they have swordfights? What does the daughter have to do with anything? This makes it sound like she's the focus of the story, about a guy who just can't get it through his head some woman isn't interested in him...so again, what is is this about?

The standard m.o. for “smuggling in ” in subjective needs is via the character flaw.? The character flaw is worked out in the process of struggling for the objective goal (OG).? If there’s no OG than then there’s no process for working out the subjective need.
Another way, I look at it is that the objective goal is the gimmick to draw viewers in, get them to invest their time in watching the movie.? The subjective need is the gimmick for the emotional catharsis/pay off that will leave them feeling their time and money was well spent.
(The working out of the subjective problem may be the story hook for the writer, what draw him into investing blood, sweat and rejection in writing the script.? Which seems to be the case for several of the loglines, you’ve posted.? It is certainly the case with my kidney transplant story.? But, again, when it comes to hooking producer interest into shooting the script, I opine what matters more is the objective goal.)
The OG in Citizen Kane is to find out the meaning of Kane’s dying word.? Who was Rosebud?? The reporter’s search for the answer to that question is the framing device for the whole picture.?? Without that objective goal, Citizen Kane isn’t a plot; it’s a string of pearls, scenes from the life of supremely ambitious man.
I don’t think there needs to be a dilemma in regards to the two loglines.? A writer needs to do write both.? One to frame the plot for writing the script, the 2nd one to pitch the finished script.? I wish the site encouraged and supported posting both versions.? But…

Doesn't tell us what the story is, who the people involved are,? what they want, or what's stopping them. Protagonist, antagonist, conflict stakes. Also, how can an accident try to do something? It's a non-entity. The whole thing is vague and unclear. Give us specifics.
