Contest 2: Stephen J. Avery
My story would be set around world war II,
right after pearl harbor, what if right after the attack, the Japanese
instead of pulling back and allowing America to prepare her forces,
instead invade the mainland and occupies 1/3 of the united states!!!
my story would have to do with what America would be like if it fought
the war on their homeland, the struggle and suffering of the people of
the land. It would follow several different plots within the major
story (Gasaraki style)
I will follow the men of two
companies (Band of brothers style) one on each side of the war. On the
Japanese side, follow these men through the invasion of California,
and their movement east toward the Atlantic. I will touch on their
code of honor and Bushido, hear them talk about their fallings about
the war, the family they have back at home, what they plan on doing
when they are done fighting, the moral decisions they have to make,
the orders they have to follow the friends they lose the enemies they
encounter. you will get to know these men personally.
The same with the American side, You will
see the bonds built between these men, their fighting on the
front with a resolve to protect their home and families. Having to
deal with the stress of fighting a losing battle after losing battle ,
constantly retreating. Dealing with ones emotions when family is
killed due to the fighting. The friends...No, brothers and fathers
lost in battle that will never be coming back. This fight isn't on
some distant battlefield, its in their backyards. The schools they
attended are now hospitals for their wounded, the houses they grew up
in are now havens of the enemy, The fields once played in are now war
torn battlefields stained with the blood of allies and enemies. You
will feel sorrow, joy, and compassion for these Men and the characters
they interact with both on the Japanese and American Side)
I will also follow the political aspect of
it. With America partially occupied, she turns to her allies, great
Britain and Russia, for help but her allies are barely able to help
since they are still recovering form a hard fought war with Germany,
we follow the President, and the military leaders of this invaded
county. Hear their decisions, see the tactics used, the orders given
and see how it effects the men in the previous Paragraphs as well as
the out come of the war. Will they make the right decisions?
I will also follow Some of the Japanese
Government as well. (Like I had to tell you) just a little bit
though. The emperor of Japan giving orders to his Generals to invade
the America mainland, the successful tactics used, I will reveal the
thoughts of these men, their opinions of the decisions made
and the consequences of it on the war. I will touch on their code of
honor and Bushido as well and how it effects their opinion of the
enemy's Resolve to keep fighting.
I don't think this can be told in a single
movie, maybe a 26 ep. series or a 52ep. one :) This setup has a lot of
possibilities in my opinion. the action will be there, the drama,
suspense, sorrow, joy, love. It will all be here. I think this would
make a great story setting.
Well its 3:30 in the morning, time to get
to bed. good night
