Hey Alex,
This script wasn't meant to be beautiful.
I watched a short film recommended by Roger Dodger in a thread on the Chat Board titled A Really Good Film. I watched it, and thought it WAS really good. The guy could play God and make things turn out different, and there was no dialogue.
I was in a rotten mood before writing this, disgusted with a lot of things. I got to thinking about God and wondered if he was completely disgusted with the world what would he do.
Trust In God came to mind, that fliped over into In God We Trust (the saying on a one dollar bill).
I looked at a dollar, front and back. does anyone know why there is an eye above the pyramid? I don't think so, I may be wrong, but I thought of that eye as being the eye of God.
The dollar dropped out of the sky in the beginning and blew around town. Everything is from the point of view from the eye above the pyramid (God's eye). In the end when God had seen enough garbage, he cut the string that kept Earth in the solar system, and Earth fell into a garbage can.

Hi Cindy. Good script.

Just for the record, the “All Seeing Eye” as it’s called is an ancient symbol that traces back to at least the time of the Egyptian pyramids and is rooted in very old pagan religions. The Master Craftsmen of ancient times were precursors to freemasons which in turn spawned the Illuminati of later years.

The motto on the dollar bill, E Pluribus Unum, which means “out of many, one” is another version of the Illuminati motto, “out of chaos, order.” Many of America’s founders were freemasons, hence why there is so much freemasonry imagery on the dollar bill.

It should be noted that many pagan religions were actually peaceful and deeply based in the belief in one supreme God. Only when certain other religions deemed themselves superior and declared war on lands where these pagan religions were practiced were these mostly peaceful religions obliterated and demonized. Sadly, most of history is actually just the spoils of war.

In any case, the “eye” on the dollar bill traces back to deism and paganism.

Ok. Maybe this script was meant something to you. Sorry if I critizised it, i just didn't get it.

Hey Alex,
That's okay. That's what this thread is for, right?

I never read Forrest Gump, until last night (well, the first page anyway). I had to see for myself what you were talking about. I see a slight similarity, only because something falls from the sky in both scripts, but they are still not that similar at all.
In my script, the dollar bill is up above the clouds when it decends to Earth.
In Forrest Gump, a feather drops from the sky, probably from an overhead bird in flight.  

Hey breanne,
That was enlightening. Thank you very much for sharing that.   I figured it had to be something like that, but wasn't quite sure. What I had always thought was that it just went along with the mystery of the pyramid, you know how those structures could have possibly been made that many years ago (the eye, being the unseen force, that helped build them).  

The 'all-seeing eye' represents God watching over us.  He is obviously unhappy with what he sees...the problem that money has created.

The ending is God giving up on us.



I could be very wrong, here....

Yep, Phil,
You're right on with that.

I'm right about both things?

Wow...

That's rare.

Hey Cindy,

In talking about the eye, I got sidetracked from the script. I have to say that the Forrest Gump feather comparison is ridiculous in my opinion. I see no real similarity. Objects blowing in the wind have been featured in countless movies.

Did Forrest Gump rip off the Frosty the Snowman cartoon where the “magic hat” blows onto Frosty’s head? Last I heard, the wind wasn’t copyright registered by anyone. Hey, that gives me an idea…

On any account, you have to admire any script that makes its point completely without dialogue.

Anyway, here’s my idea; we make a film called, “Blowing in the Wind.” In it, we feature shot after shot of various objects blowing in the wind, perhaps even with the Dylan song on the soundtrack.

Then, every time a movie or television program has a scene with an object blowing in the wind, we’ll stir up attention for ourselves by accusing them of ripping us off.

Maybe we’ll even sue a few for the publicity. It could launch our careers!

Hey breanne,
Maybe it could work... People would be whispering, "Who in the heck are these people".
No, I'm just joking, but the thought made me laugh.

I really liked this one, it felt like you had something to say and you did it with images instead of words, great for you, that can be a difficult thing to pull of without being cheesy.  I thought the images you portrayed really hit home, whenever I go to vancouver I see these things all the time, especially needle use, it's very sad.   good job and keep up the great writing

I was surprised to see a reply to this one after so long.
I'm glad you liked it.
Cindy

Fascinating piece you got here.  There's a couple messages that I think you can attribute to this short, like money is the root of all evil, or George Bush is gonna send this world down the crapper.  Lovely transitions from one sequence to the other and overall a solid little piece of imagery you got here.

Congratulations again on its production!  Should be a rather cool little feature!

Other than the part about the President, I thought this was a pretty good read. Not much can be said about the script considering how short it is and how many comments you already have.

I can't wait (if I ever get to) to see this after that guy makes it into an animated film.
