Explaining and Analyzing Script

“Writing is the painting of the voice.” This is a phrase said by Voltaire and it’s true. Sometimes people do not know what they are thinking or they cannot even organize their thoughts, and writing is a great way to do so. Just as having a beautiful way of showing your perspective to the world. Just as films do. Every little thing on a film should be thought this way, to convey or express a feeling. That’s exactly what I want to do with the script of my opening film. I want it to be art, to make it beautiful, and meaningful. I don’t want to just say words because they make sense but I want to say words to add or increment even more an idea and feeling.

So as promised in my last post, here is the script of my film in English version (which makes me remember that I need to research about film subtitles). I didn’t want to spoil the full picture so I am not showing the original picture but hope you like these one!


Voice-Over (Adriel) Translated
I’ve always been a religious man. Just like my past ancestors, excluding my parents, they raised me according to the world of God. Maybe that’s why I can actually see the evil in humanity and they can’t. Sometimes I doubt and think; maybe I’m the one who is wrong, but after all the pain I’ve felt… ( scene where parents are figuring)… there is no way to see that from the side of good. The silence that the acid rain left, which was sent by the Lord to kill humanity, is not louder than my hatred for all those last people who ruined my life. It is as if the few humans hiding have added all the evil of those who left. I am Adriel whom God brought to a place of suffering to end the wickedness of the world, to end with what the lord started, and he will save me, just as he did with Noah millions of years ago. 

It is not confirmed that these will be the one being used as the film might need to be adjusted with more shots or less. I neither want the voice over to be on my whole opening so I timed me reading the script as if I would be actually saying it on the film so that I even know what to tell my brother how to say words in a specific way so that it also convey each strong emotion.

But for understanding each emotion I must analyze and explain the most important phrases said, and lets start with “always been a religious man.” It mainly highlights the context of his life. Some background that shows why he believes like he is now. In the same way the second part of this sentence says “like my ancestors” which shows how the religion has always been in his family so he should not be different, indeed he should be better as they all have been trying to be taught better but late we see his parents arguing so they broke the perfect line and that is why he has a misunderstanding of the bible and his beliefs. It conveys the idea that not even him understands himself. Just as he later says “Maybe that’s why I can see…” which show how he doubts about his beliefs as he deep inside feels as he is not right. The word pain compared to the action being shown in the scene right after shows how hurt he is and surrounding all his actions and reasons by blaming it all in just on point: the pain that people in his life had caused him. Later on, the character’s hatred is being compared with a loud sound indicating its intensity. As well the silence is compared to all those death people caused by the natural disaster that it is believed to have been sent by God. This is to imply that now the world is silent as there are not many people left, but his anger has never been bigger for them as they been more inhuman than ever. The simile used after this sentence simply increments this feeling as it compares a “fake” situation to what us actually happening which could imply that he is assuming his thoughts and might not be truthful. In another way he uses negative words such as “evil”, “hatred”, “silence”, or “kill” to imply the hurtful and revengeful tone. The last sentence simply explains what he believes his roll in the movie is and why does he believe in so. It overall compares how the first scenes of the bible verses with the story of Noah are related to this main character. 
Yay!!! That’s all!! I hope you liked my point of view and I’m so happy to share my thoughts with you. I hope to see you on next post!
