Impeached president moves back to her hometown in disgrace to pursue a new dream: balancing family life….while grooming her shy and nerdy kids for careers in politics.
It's hard to see how this is a story that can be categorized as a family genre film.? A family genre film is one that would not offend preteens (or more particularly the parents of preteens).? It is also a film with characters and themes that would appeal to preteens.? ?And there parents? (Like a PiRead more
It’s hard to see how this is a story that can be categorized as a family genre film.? A family genre film is one that would not offend preteens (or more particularly the parents of preteens).? It is also a film with characters and themes that would appeal to preteens.? ?And there parents? (Like a Pixar film.)
Why would preteens be interested in — let alone understand — the legal details — of impeachment?? Or a parent grooming her older than pre-teen kids for politics?
In addition, the current political reality in the US is more interesting and more dramatic that could be conjured up in any political fiction.? Certainly by a fictional character seeking to “balance family life”? –where’s the tension, conflict, controversy in being balanced?? The very essence of drama is life and characters out of balance.?
In drama, balance = boring.

The logline seems to cast the demon in the role of the protagonist.? And taking the logline at face value, the? plot seems to promise a lot of violence — but no suspense.? That is, it’s never in doubt that the demon will be able to inflict revenge whenever and on whomever it pleases.? It is never in doubt that Napoleon is doomed.
Yet one of the expectations of the thriller genre — the? definition of? word “thriller” itself — is that it is a story that will maintain viewer interest by providing suspense,? lots of suspense.
So where’s the suspense?
And where is there is a character for the audience to root for?? Other than some French viewers, perhaps, why would anyone root for Napoleon?? And the demon is certainly not a character for an audience to root for because 1] he’s not human; 2] he’s not nice–he’s violent, vengeful and merciless.

Is this based upon or inspired by a real events (including the main character)?(And is it really accurate to say the original female pilots would? be erased?? Is it not more likely? the case that their contribution is being ignored, relegated to obscurity?)
