StuntKid posted:1. Do you think people would be willing to watch a movie with an empathetic anti-hero even if he's an Afghan? Do you HAVE to see the Afghani man die in the end to satisfy an audience, especially military folks? Even if we understand why he'd want revenge? I have a feeling your script is terrible.

Analogical posted:It wouldn't be hard to believe that someone would be motivated by something other than Islam to want to start a revenge trip. What would be hard to get, honestly, is how capable your Afghan is in North America. The average working class Afghan has absolutely no means without external support to leave Afghanistan and would definitely not speak English, he'd be lucky if he even spoke both of Afghanistan's major languages and that's his own country. For me, regardless if his son was killed or the Koran has him infant-shaking-mad about something, I have no faith in his ability to follow through with any kind of plan to come kill a NA soldier without the support of a terrorist organization or some other group or charity. Maybe if your guy joins AQ to handle the logistics of his jihad I'd be able to get around the idea more, most people join AQ for reasons other than religion anyway. Thanks for the honest answer, it was great! Anita Dickinme posted:Now that I've actually read the OP I do have a (possibly) contributing thing. I've heard something (and Generation Kill) that Iraqis don't see death the same way as us and probably wouldn't go to the lengths of revenge. I don't know if that transfers to Afghans but they're basically the same thing. Right? Booblord Zagats posted:You're going to have knee jerk folks immediately poo poo on your movie because it's showing "Are Troops" as people who kill children, even if it is on accident. Protestors will be a problem in Texas, the South and other places. You will be fellated by angry college kids who think American Sniper was propaganda, right up until they realize the movie doesn't seem to be about how awful the West is, but instead about how awful human conflict is, then they'll rail against you on tumblr and twitter until someone in a high enough position accidentally calls a tranny by the wrong loving made up pro-noun.

StuntKid posted:Should've clarified in my post that this is not your "typical revenge movie". Cause that doesn't happen in revenge movies, but we are aiming for a solution close to what your saying. Dude, I was able to guess the ending to your movie after reading a rough synopsis... How much time do you spend reading tv tropes.org in an average week? I bet it's a lot, because that's the lamest ending possible and you seem to think it's original. And yeah, revenge movies are real popular in Canada, that's why we've produced such classics as

Make it so the plot follows the Afghan dude on his quest to get to America, only to find the soldier living in a trailer with his hambeast wife and eight kids (half of which are a different color), only to decide the poor soldier has suffered more than he ever could.

Having an idea of the ending doesn't mean much these days, it's the execution that matters. Look at the majority of horror movies, it isn't usually too hard to guess what happens, but we still watch to see how well they do it. I'm not worried.

Feature a scene where the Canadian soldier spends 11 minutes trying to explain kilometers aren't the same thing as miles to an American e-4 then juxtapose it with another scene where the Afghan dude tries to explain the difference between girl pussy and boy pussy to some dude on the last leg of his London to Toronto flight

You might have a hard time selling the concept it not being about a religious/cultural revenge killing. Revenge killing is a pretty big thing for Pashtuns.

Dead Reckoning posted:Yeah, what ethnicity is this guy supposed to be? The actor you picked looks more Persian or Arab than Pashtun, Tajik or Uzbek.  I don't think most people are going to pick up on any of these things, guys. I farted around irrigation canals my entire time in Afghanistan. If you told me there was a business man in Kabul who looks Persian, owns shoes, and doesn't poo poo on his own doorstep, I'd find that believable. Afghanistan is a big place.

I'd watch it if it has Liam Neeson in the lead. But it should be him avenging the death of his underage wedding singer boy lover who was run over by a MRAP while fleeing rapey hash addled wedding guests. It can be called Taken from Behind. Liam: "Heylo my friend, what I have is unique skillset, like herding goat, putting manhood in goat, smoking hash and loving wedding singers, and I'm going to track you down and make you weddingsinginggoatlover, my friend..."
