A friend of mine is a photographer, and he has shot a lot of movies, TV series, commercials, online TV shows, and online dramas. When we collaborated on a film this year, he told me that he planned to be the director himself, and asked me to help him read his script. It wasn't a script at that time, it was just a summary of one or two thousand words. After reading it, I told him "I don't think this is good, let me write it for you". (Why not, why take the initiative to help him write is another story)
In short, he became my dad. Later, the counterpart of our story also changed from "Rival" to "Fight Club" and then to "Black Swan", then the Coen Brothers, Guy Ritchie, Ruffian Kun all the way to "Gone Lover" to "Cat and Mouse Game" Finally to "Fuck the World". Because it is about the discussion of this film, it is also recorded here.
Our initial point of contention was that he said he wanted a "Fuck" love story. I said it's not a romance, it's a teenage coming-of-age story. If you want a romance film, you will still reject what I write. He said everyone who talked to him about it said it was a romance. I said that if it was a romance movie, there would be no resistance between the two of them in love, and a love without obstacles would definitely not be a romance movie. The title of the film, "Fuck the World," is already very clear. This story is about two teenagers who hate this "adult" world, and they want to rebel against it. (Actually, it's Alisha who have to resist.) They hate school and family. Running away from home is the first step in their resistance. Kissing, falling in love, it's just a kind of resistance. Then they hitch a ride with the pedophile, and Alyssa rescues James, the first adult they meet when they leave home—a jerk.
Then they have the money and don't plan to go home, so they break into the house - a prank of young people, and here comes a turning point for James. Alyssa wanted to tell James, but James' behavior angered her and went to the street to find a black brother. This stimulated James and made the emotionless guy emotional. At this point I think James is "in love" with Alyssa, but Alyssa doesn't (throughout) love him. Alyssa's need is to find someone who truly cares and understands her.
Then the two escaped. Alyssa and James are estranged because of the killing, and James is in pain. At this time, the first person Alicia thought of was her own father. Because she always felt that her father was the only person who could understand him, a real living person, and probably her only hope for the adult world.
It's funny how Alisha and James deal with it separately in the middle. The girl intends to abandon the boy, but she is caught stealing underwear, and then finds the child to be released. From her side there was a little reconciliation with the adult world. James was in so much pain that he asked someone to beat him up and called the police, but he didn't report it out of fear. He is suspicious of the adult world. This is related to the following plot. Then it's the girls who come back to find the boys. I don't think the treatment here is love, but more like playmates or pets.
Then they found the hippie father, who hid the killing, but it looks like the man made Alyssa happy. This continues the mood of the previous paragraph, where Alyssa has a certain reconciliation with the adult world. But James's side is a little jealous, he doesn't trust the adult world, so he also keeps his distance from hippies.
Then came the finale, where the hippie father finally showed his hypocrisy and Alyssa was disappointed in the world. At this time, James was willing to "sacrifice" for her and was shot. It is indeed a "sacrifice" in a sense. I think it's hard to say whether Alyssa loves James or not until this moment. She just found someone who really cares about her. She doesn't know whether this person understands her, and we don't really know.
I seem to have convinced my party dad. So he said, we don't care whether we love or not, we transplant such a story to adults. I said that the core of this is adolescent growth, and many logics transplanted to adults will not make sense. He said why, adults can be immature. Let's get to the story of two eccentric fringe people falling in love. When I say that, it's probably the feeling of "Love Disorder" or "Jose and the Tiger and the Fish." He doesn't want to feel that way. He said that there should be an element of crime in it. I said, what is the core of this story? what do you want to say? He said that two people changed each other a little bit and fell in love. I said that if you add criminal elements, you may be robbed of your love by these things. You still have to have a core of expression and set up obstacles around this core.
Then our discussion came to an impasse, and my client's dad decided to write the outline himself.
I suddenly remembered today that if this story mode is transplanted to an adult, it is actually a story of a goddess and a dog licking. A woman who pursues the extraordinary pulls a man who obeys her and begins to wander. However, the goddess has never liked men very much, she just chose him out of loneliness and loneliness. But he was always to no avail, and it was difficult to please women. It doesn't matter if there is a murder in the middle, anyway, the two are estranged because of something, and the man always wants to save the woman. There is actually a "prince" in a woman's heart (here, the prince replaced the father). The woman finally saw the prince and the prince happily together, and the man silently endured the torment of jealousy. Finally, the prince reveals his evil true face, and the woman is in danger. At this time, the man uses "sacrifice" in exchange for the woman's affection for him.
To change it like this, this is really a hate movie.
