I read this script a long time ago but haven't had time to sit down and formulate a articulate comment other than "DiZ iz gewd! lol"
but i'm kind of in an in between ... limbo right now so..here I am.
I liked this script, the scene with the last ferris wheel actually popped into my mind the other day because i remember the description of the area so vividly and i enjoyed how you set up the location.
So much that I actually thought I had seen that scene in a movie i rented at one point. So I think you definitely did a good job in portraying the last ferris wheel.
Also, let me just say that the more you read this script the creepier Yuri's line saying he rode the ferris wheel six weeks earlier gets. Doesn't that somewhat inply that Yuri, not six weeks earlier was just like Charlie?...hmm.
If I entertained you, and even left you with a creepy feeling when it was all said and done, I think I definitely accomplished what I set out to do.
Regarding your question, there are certainly similiarities between Yuri and Charlie, but I think their reasoning for things was somewhat different. Yuri's backstory isn't as developed, so it's open for interpretation.
Thanks again. Been awhile since I've had anything to respond to.
The only thing I would have changed were the names of Yuri and Vlad. They are too stereotypical for such a great script as this one. Haunting tale about trying way too hard to stay a kid at heart. And of course with childhoods usually come stern parents and challenges from similar "kids."
