    There is a disconnect between the brother and the super-villain. I can't see the connection. What is the main want (which better that a goal in some cases). What are the character's powers, it could be piano and maths I can't tell. Here is a very rough attempt. A 15yr genius must team up with his unRead more

    There is a disconnect between the brother and the super-villain. I can’t see the connection.

    What is the main want (which better that a goal in some cases).

    What are the character’s powers, it could be piano and maths I can’t tell.

    Here is a very rough attempt.

    A 15yr genius must team up with his uncle an ex-con with superpowers to defeat a super villain that has framed his brother for murder.

    To many side roads can make it confusing. If a producer is looking for a superhero story you have given them enough.

    On Pulp Fiction for a minute, I meant we don't know what's in the case - same as what drug Amy is importing isn't important. Also what does Vincent Vega do that makes him likeable.

    On Pulp Fiction for a minute, I meant we don’t know what’s in the case – same as what drug Amy is importing isn’t important. Also what does Vincent Vega do that makes him likeable. He is a murderer that would sleep with the bosses wife if he could.

    The Hateful Eight – everyone is Hateful.

    There are things that happen in our brain that we have no control over. We naturally try to find a good guy and a bad guy in things. Amy can still be the good guy as long as there is someone we see as worse.

    People can empathise with people doing bad things through sympathy. It is easy for us to say “I’d never sell drugs”. But there are people where selling drugs is the lest bad way of surviving.

    Now back to the logline.

    Her main motivation is to have some form of control over her life. That means money. So trying to jump up the ladder makes sense to her.

    She is out of her depth and paranoid. Her dealer Doug doesn’t trust her, he thinks she is up to something. He just wants to remind her that her is in control. So he holds her sister while she drops off a car for him.

    She thinks it is a hit and kills the guy at the other end – a mistake.

    This now triggers the events that leads to her death.

    In the meantime she is talking to her ex-lover Sue who is clean and in another town.

    I really don't care if the audience likes her. The world is full to the brim of good people doing bad things that we are asked to feel sorry for. She is living in the world she knows. This is her life and she is trying to make the best of it the only way she believes is open to her. Her drug is neveRead more

    I really don’t care if the audience likes her. The world is full to the brim of good people doing bad things that we are asked to feel sorry for. She is living in the world she knows. This is her life and she is trying to make the best of it the only way she believes is open to her.

    Her drug is never mentioned (like the briefcase in pulp fiction). It is just referred to as weight. In fact it is probably heroine.

    She thinks she can supply a better life for herself and her sister by doing a big deal. But her paranoia kicks in and she starts making bad decisions.

    The very last scene, which is the first thing I wrote, is her in stand off between her, her drug boss and a cop. This is when she realises that the only way she can help her sister is to die. By dying she gives her sister a clean break.

    One redeeming act at the very end. You’ll still dislike her, but think “finally you did the right thing”

    Fade to black…..
