Jack White Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 JVB's hoped for movie...will it be a spy thriller or a documentary? Instead of resorting to documentation and claimed "facts"...let's just resort to common sense, bit by bit...on the JVB scenario, as I understand it. Let's just look at the screenplay and see whether the audience will buy it, based on common sense. Scene 1. A teen-age woman stands in a line at the post post office, holding in her hand a newspaper with a "coded ad" placed by her fiance. A young man walks up and gets in line behind her. She drops the coded newspaper, and the man graciously picks it up. She thanks the stranger by speaking to him in Russian. He replies in Russian, Though engaged to another man, she instantly falls in love with the stranger. Scene 2. She invites him to "walk her home". Scene 3. The stranger tells her he is connected to the CIA and Mafia. He offers to introduce her to his contacts. Scene 4. They travel around town together as he introduces her to Guy Banister, a former FBI man, now a private investigator, who is involved in the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. Scene 5. They go to the apartment of David Ferrie, where he tells her he had known Ferrie from the time he was in the Civil Air Patrol. Scene 6. They take a bus to the famed medical clinic run by Dr. Ochsner, where the stranger known as Lee says he will introduce her to the famed doctor. Lee goes into the doctor's office while the teen girl waits in the waiting room. Then, Lee comes out and invites her into the inner office to meet Ochsner. What a thrill for a young girl interested in medical research. Scene 7. It has been a busy day. The young couple take the long bus ride back to her place. What a day! Two soulmates had found each other. FADE TO BLACK If you saw a movie start like this screenplay, would you take it to be fictional or documentary? As fiction, it might be an interesting James Bond type of spy thriller. As a documentary it is contrary to common sense. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Williams Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Glenn, Let them keep the money, it is obviously needed, as the only people that would produce such things must be raising funds for the mentally challenged. Cheers my friend! Mike P.S. Hope you are well Jack, and keep nailing that hide to the fence Sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
