IRAN? Have fun with this movie script written by me. Is this a question?
Hiiiiiiii allllllll.Or I had better say :Morning Allllll.God! it is 9:10 AM ! I am late again. was I supposed to nuke somewhere? Oh I feel dizzy.am I still dreaming? Then what am I dreaming of ? Wow! boy! I am dreaming of IRAN! Jeese! Look at the sky. It is full of dark clouds.Look around.It reminds me of Half Life 2! Bat- Like Plane wreckages as far as eye can see. Which country has developed them? A faded logo on a plane wreckage answered my question. A well-known flag. I go into my house.Someone is knocking at my door. I stick my head outta the window.Hell no! it is repridesent shuB (I am scaaaaareeddddd ! I just cannot control my fingers!) standing out there.staring up at me as if he is gonna eat me! He is fading away now. Phew! That was close!
CUT TO: IRAN daylight-peace time-year 2006
I just wonder what IRAN is like. Iet me see.Hmmm This has to be Tehran. It is amazing.There is a nuclear warhead on the mountain.It is so much bigger than the Empire State.Ready to turn the world to dust.It is such a big weapon that you would see it from every corner of the country.Government members are everywhere in the streets controling people and checking weomen and beheading them if they are not wearing scarves! Some people are swimming in blood pools and the rest of them are killing each other! Everywhere is dark and full of smoke.foggy.frightning.No one has an ordinary life. Every body is talking about what is the best way for wiping out the U.S and Israel.Every body is carring nuclear warheads and mass destructive weapons on their shoulders.There are secret tunnels everywhere hiding nuclear weapons! There are no trees.Instead there are lots of guns dangling everywhere.
CUT TO: Palestine daylight year 2006
TV screen-reporter:Today five terrorists were killed by Israeli soldiers and they were all 5 year old children throwing explodable!!! stones at Israeli tanks.So Israeli soldiers destroyed their houses and killed their parents.President Bush said:Israel has the right to self-defense and IRAN is corrupting peace process by dissagring with Israel!
CUT TO: America night-peace time-year 2050
TV screen-reporter:We have managed to build a colony on Mars.IRAN is going to kick us outta this world 10 years later.It is trying to develop laser cannons so it is a threaten for us and we are leaving earth soon.
CUT TO: Mars U.S colony-year 2100
TV screen-reporter:IRAN is going to attack Mars and kick us outta this universe.
God I woke up from my bad dream.I walk towards the window and I open it: Wow such a beautiful view! The same lovely country.The same kind people.There is no sign of the terrible things that I dreamed of. Whenever I walk up and down the streets I think to myself: Hey boy! you are walking in the mysterious country.enjoy yourself !Did you like my script?Did it make you laugh,sad,worry or whatever?
This story would go on and on untill the year 3000.Who knows? See how easy it is to believe in propoganda?Are you the sort of people who would believe whatever they hear on TV?

Movie idea for a great script writer.what do you think?
A movie idea for a script writer that can write a story that has suprises and twists and turns without giving away the secrets early on (kind of like the sixth sense sort of thing)…would love to see something like this. Story: A dectective with undiagnosed multiple personality disorders investigating a serial killer that turns out in the investigation to be actually one of his/her personalities, thus investigating him/herself unknowingly.

Is it possible to write a movie script being a beginner and still make it big?
I’ve heard that some of the most famous movie writers have started from nothing from writing one hit movie. I’m just wondering if anyone has some insight on this subject. I want to write one and try to sell it.(I already have some ideas) I have no experience on screenwriting or anything but there’s lots of books with tips.. but the main question is, can I make it? thanks!

MOVIE SCRIPT—high school creative writing class?
******************I’m not looking for opinions on the writing, I no this is an armature script I just want feedback on the formatting or anything you see that is wrong making it unsuitable to submit to a director. (In the one on my word document the character names are all centered and everything) so I don’t want a comment on that being wrong but for example the first scene has a lot of smash cuts,, was there a better way to write down that it was flipping between two scenes or was writing smash cut for every change ok?? I no I’m not going to get a lot of answers but for anyone who takes the time to do this,, if anyone,, thank you!!
SOMETHING BLUE
Written By

Adopted from the novel by
Emily Griffin
CREDITS OVER:
A BABIES FACE FILLS THE FRAME — Wide eyed, a baby girl stares up from a carriage, the commotion of a lively baby shower slowly being revealed as the camera pulls back…
DARCY (V.O)
“I was born Beautiful. A C-section baby–”
SMASH TO:
EXT. A CROWDED STREET — AFTERNOON
Darcy walks purposely, hands in pockets, heals clanking on the pavement, face covered in a scarf and sun glasses, she calls a taxi…
DARCY (V.O)
“–I started out life right by avoiding the misshapen head and battle scars that come with being forced through a birth canal.”
CLOSE UP OF DARSY’S FACE as she pays for the taxi.
SMASH TO:
The Baby STARING UP from the carriage as larger portions of the party/shower is revealed. (A laughing woman holding a wine glass flickers in and out of the scene)…
SMASH TO:
TAXI PULLING AROUND A CORNER, Darcy looks out the window, face still crowded in sunglasses and a scarf.
DARCY (V.O)
“Instead I immerged with a dainty nose, bow-shaped lips, distinctive eyebrows, and just the right amount of fuzz covering my crown.”
SMASH TO:
Baby Darcy STARING UP from the carriage, eyes drifting over to a piece of falling tissue paper whilst being lifted out of the carriage and admired by surrounding figures.
SMASH TO:
DARCY EXCITING THE TAXI, thanking the driver, walking up the front steps of a New York flat and ringing the doorbell.
DARCY (V.O)
“And so I learned as I reined as prettiest girl in increasingly larger pools of competition–”
RACHEL ANSWERS and invites and during the greeting Darcy takes off her glasses, revealing her stunning beauty.
DARCY (V.O)
“–that there is a pecking order in life, and appearances play a role in that hierarchy.”
SMASH TO:
The baby being held and admired, EYES STILL FOCUSED on falling paper.
SMASH TO:
INT. RACHELS FLAT — Darcy and Rachel are talking, Darcy distressed, seeking comfort, Rachel distracted. Suddenly Darcy spots a watch on a bedside table, grabs it, starts searching around frantically until she rips open a closet door and finds Dex hiding in his boxers.
SMASH TO:
A TIP of the paper touches down, babies EYES ON PAPER.
SMASH TO:
Darcy starts to leave and then turns and PELTS THE WATCH AT DEX, which hit’s the wall behind him.
SMASH TO:
TISSUE PAPEER LANDING completely on ground, (baby blurred).
SMASH TO:
EXT. RACHELS APPARTMENT Darcy slams the door, then pants lightly while leaning on against the other side of it.
DARCY (V.O)
Then something happened that made me question everything that I thought I new about the world: Rachel, my plain do-gooding best friend and maid of honour, with frizzy hair the colour of wheat germ, swooped in and stole my fiancé.
INT. MARCUS’S HOUSE — LATE EVENING
Marcus is LOUNGING ON HIS BED playing guitar in his messy apartment, Darcy lying down next to him in full crisis mode.
DARCY
“Who is prettier, me or Rachel?”
MARCUS
“. . .hmm, that’s a toughie, I’m not sure.”
DARCY
“Marcus! I can’t believe your not taking this seriously, and stop playing that guitar!”
Marcus chuckles, detached from the crisis.
DARCY
“Stop laughing! There is nothing remotely funny about the situation!”
MARCUS
“I really don’t see why the situation of you wanting to no whether you are prettier then Rachel needs any kind of serious attention.”
DARCY
“Well it does because it‘s part of the whole thing, everything! I mean everything that’s going on!”
Marcus plays the last strings on his guitar, sighs, then places it to his side.
MARCUS
“Look, I just don’t see how you can be so outraged when we did the same thing.”
DARCY
“It’s not the same thing! I may have cheated on Dex with you, but I didn’t do anything to Rachel.”
MARCUS
“Well she and I did date for a minute, we had potential long before you came along.”
DARCY
“You went on a few lousy dates while I was eng
ok,, thins was the main reason why I put this up and no one had answered it. The main reason why it’s up is that I saw that there were to many smash cuts but I don’t know how to write the scene without them — so what I’s asking is WHAT DO I REPLACE THEM WITH??? I can’t just take them out there needs to be something saying that theres a scene change.

Why am I here? Why am I anywhere? Do I exist, or am I figment of imagination. Does my life mean anything?
