Hi, I just signed up and this will be my first post on this forum. Internet forums like this have helped me learn a great deal in the past, so I am posting here for a few things.
First of all I should say that I am writing a screen play for a university course right now. I am hoping too get some help here. How can you help me write a screen play you might be asking? Well I need some second hand experience, I need stories.
The thesis of my screenplay is this: People who act in a hurtful way towards others do so out of error and in turn must be treated with compassion for the greater good.
I need to hear stories that reflect this thesis (either proving it right or wrong).
1. I would like to hear people's stories from all perspectives about how you may have meet your significant other. Right now I am trying to have a man and a woman start out as enemies (at least not like each-other that much) and at some point one of them takes a risk and gets deeper into the other person thus fulfilling the thesis that there is good to come from treating hurtful people with compassion.
2. If number 1 is to personal (or in addition to number 1), can I get recommendations for literature or movies that deal with this sort of subject? I'm looking for stories that deal with "coming of age" or "boy meets girl" type of plots. I have been watching and reading a lot but have come up empty so far.
Anyway I will check back later, any help would be greatly appreciated.
