There are five "what if" weekend-concepts to choose from this week, and I chose the second one on the list, which states the following question,
What if you were to star in a movie made about your own life? Would it be an action movie, comedy, science fiction, apocalyptic, romantic comedy, drama, action comedy, or a porno? In at least 400 words, explain your choice, why you chose it, and what the plot might be.
It is both a pleasure and an honor to be chosen to present your life in a movie. creates a significant distinct value to demonstrate the difficulty of being a trying-hard introvert and how his life was molded from dirt. I get that we each have our own pathways in life, but in this current generation, it’s hard for adults to understand the real problems of youth because of the wide difference between the two generations. So, if my life were a movie, I would definitely choose the action-drama genre, which is relevant and timely for the target audience.
In all honesty, the gap between my grandparents, parents, and my generation often leads to arguments in the family, particularly when handling mental and psychological health. The more I insist on telling them that this is my present state, the more they will tell me what life they had back then, which is irrelevant to the subject of the argument. In the end, there is no understanding or clear conclusion regarding our disagreement. So, I believe that featuring and focusing on the mental health issues of youth nowadays is a perfect theme for the movie.
Personally, I loved movies. Specifically, when the film causes a prickling sensation in my skin and touches my soul. I will definitely not forget those kinds of movies. Therefore, if I were to create a plot for my very own life’s movie, then it could be something like this:
"A perilous path leading to protest mental-health awareness endangers DennnMarc's life. At the same time, his best friend, Julius, is making plans to banish his hope of being recognized unknowingly. The desire to create change is about to meet its match when his parents become the biggest obstacle in his path."
In this movie, a young boy who barely makes it to the end is fighting like a wild MMA fighter to advocate for his belief that it is time for real change. The change is for the former generation to recognize that society is more stressful than before. The unrelenting pressure that continues to build, and the expectations that are too high for youth to comprehend. Following his pursuit to create a big protest with the help of several non-profit organizations, his best friend, Julius, did not believe in his cause because he grew up in a religious family, whose beliefs were in contrast to his.
Beyond DennnMarc’s knowledge, he didn’t know that Julius talked about his plans to his parents. All he thought was that his best friend would support him no matter what, as they had promised each other, but their friendship was gradually falling. In Julius's perspective, DennnMarc must commit himself to the Lord to attain the healing of both physical and mental sickness, which contradicts worldly views.
During the rally, the loud yells coming from the people and the colorful and meaningful posters were swaying left to right, and whoever heard the young boy’s speech was moved to the core. However, the festivities and fun ended when the young boy’s parents entered the scene. They were scolding, humiliating, and telling him to go home because all the things he had done were purely nonsensical. Two weeks had passed, and some of his comrades had humbly educated and enlightened his parents about their son’s cause until one day. They finally understood what everything was about.
His best friend realized that one’s perspective and beliefs must be respected at all costs. The process you’ve undergone has worked for you, but not necessarily for others. Accepting the fact that each generation has dissimilarities can make two generations overlap and coexist in a way that no one has seen before.
