ok so i finally solved the issues in my plot. there is no martyr. only a man living in a world where oppression has grown tremendously and simple pleasures such as getting a hair cut are considered taboo. STORY opens as a couple is in a serious argument. quick flashes foreshadow events yet are ambiguous leaving the viewer to question what truly will happen in the near future. the images will consist of glimpses of various parts of a woman under low lighting with small traces of blood that are contrasted using a film noir style. it will all be shot at night and the argument will gradually reveal hints of the truth behind what is going on. the fact that the man wants a haircut is not revealed until the end leaving glimpses of scissors to guide the viewer to a misguided conclusion of him killing the girl. only in the end the girl kills herself out of shame for her husbands taboo acts of cutting his hair.

Film writeup

Thanks everyone for the input. I agree with the film noir style. and i'm pretty sure i'm going to change the movie yet again just cause i'm one of those people who never can make up their mind. not too drastically though for there will still be an intensely dramatic fight between a couple only the only person who dies is the protagonist for he wants to become a martyr for his religeon, christianity. Hopefully this will bring up some debate whether or not faith is the correct show of who is right and wrong and also how religion can be used as a weapon to gain either money or power. In the middle of the fight scene i will have the actors suddenly break character - yanking the audience out of their suspension of disbelief (so to speak). MY reasons for this are so the viewer questions what they are watching itself and to learn to view things for what they really are. i know i'm not done with the script and all yet but i just am not that fast at writing scripts. It'll be done soon though.

movie idea

since i didn't write three ideas i figure i'll write one good idea that i've been discussing with friends.
I want to film in a style that i am not used to so that i may experiment and challenge myself. i want to film an extremely non-linear progression and more extreme camera angles. The concept of my movie will be on how our emotions cause a disillusionment of reality. Colors will be used to emphasize the feeling of the viewer and even though it is non-linear in form, i am going to attempt to keep the viewer in the loop and understanding of the sequence of events. My film will have to be of a passionate event. a man comes home to see his wife with another man talking, because she never introduced this man to him and henever knew of his existence, a flood of images with possible misguided events cram the screen blocking any rational thought. Mixed images of ambiguous past and perhaps future events taunt the man into a rampage where he kills the suspected lover - only to find that it was the brother she never knew of coming to visit her.
