AN ALMOST PERFECT PICTURE presents as a character driven journey of self-discovery. It 's an original story with a fresh voice. The story centers on a Persian-Jewish family and the struggles they engage with. The main protagonist is Sam, who is addicted to drugs and he struggles with inner conflict. The story is driven more by the emotional needs and struggles of the family, rather than an actionable goal.
The tone feels dramatic. The script features an ensemble cast of complex characters. There are solid themes about family, second chances, and life choices.
While there are strong elements of this story, the script would benefit from more development. First, it 's a very challenging script to read due to it 's structure. The overall story is too long and the structure is not a friendly or effective structure.
With that said, the opening scene with Sam 's “everybody fucks you” voiceover is strong and this captures the attention of the audience. The idea of life and people fucking each other over is relatable.
Unfortunately, after this opening, the story 's structure doesn 't engage the audience. One reason is that too many characters are introduced, not only in the opening, but throughout the entire script. There are simply too many characters to track. This needs to be streamline. If a character doesn 't add significantly to the story, then cut them. For example, Nicole and Jasmine or several minor supporting roles like Omid.
The other concern about having too many characters is that it dilutes the other characters. No one character is focused on or fully developed.
The other concern about the structure is the constant cutting or transitioning from one scene to the next and from one character to the next throughout the ...

...nd when he realizes his flaws.
The other supporting characters are believable, but there are just too many.
The professional presentation should be polished. There are formatting issues on almost every page. There are missing scene headings, making it a more difficult read, there are too many cuts back and forth from one scene to another and this also makes it challenging to follow. There are characters not properly introduced (Sean), and there 's dialogue not properly formatted (the voiceovers).
In addition, there shouldn 't be any notes to the director or references to shots, unless one is directing the film. There are also typos.
The script runs too long and should be under 110 pages (approximately).
In summary, while the script presents with an original voice, the stories are not compelling enough and the protagonist is not relatable enough to care about.

It is important to create complex, progressive characters. Characters should speak with intent and purpose. You can establish who a character is through tone and what they say. You can also reveal character through thoughts and background information. Not all characters have to have an origin; they can just be there. You should have conflicting traits between the characters. Challenging your characters adds
Readers develop a compassionate emotion toward the characters, although the characters are detached and impersonal, due to the tone of The Road. The characters are unidentified, generalizing the experience and making it relatable – meaning similar instances can happen to anyone, not just the characters in the novel. McCarthy combined the brutality of the post-apocalyptic world with tender love between father and son through tone.
...connects with every character in simple ways, yet he continues to differ from them as well. A reader is meant to connect with the characters in emotional ways, understanding and following through their footsteps throughout the story. It is crucial to have sub-characters that create tension along with comfort, so the readers are able to connect with them through simple experiences. I was very moved by Christian’s character, because his decisions were connected with real life happenings. He loved a beautiful woman, but he wasn’t able to truly make her love him because of his lack of intelligence. Stories like these happen in everyday life, making his character even more respected because we’re bound to go through similar experiences. I was very pleased with his character features, even when he is unintelligent; he was able to connect with me, and the story perfectly.
Literature plays an important role in the shaping of society, reinforcing cultural norms and values. Because of this, the meaning of enduring tales such as The Hobbit can change with time, being molded in new ways to fit what society now accepts. In every society, the world over, there are those who see the world differently from those in the mainstream. Whether for better or for worse, the wiring of their brain is skewed and this gives them a different outlook, a new way or reading a text or viewing a film. The paper will explore the importance of the focus on adventure and self-discovery in The Hobbit for sufferers of mental illness and how modern society may have affected the understanding of this tale.
the end result is the demise of all the main characters. ?It is clear that the theme of
The film’s story does not simply shines forth, but is also the foundation of the plot. The film’s plot makes the traditional guidelines applicable...
The setup of the stage was very simple. It was the living room of a home in the early 1980’s. It looked like a normal household, and it had small things such as crumpled up pieces of paper lying around the wastebasket. It also had a couch, circular class table and a recliner in the living room. The dining room was to the left side of the stage and only had the dining table and surrounding chairs. There was a door in the back of the set where characters entered and exited through. Beside the door was a table and stool where Willum presumably worked on his blueprints for the hotel. The lighting design was great; it put you into the atmosphere of the
The scenery shows realistic sets in the play. The text is very episodic that show the parts of the events in a story. The conflict shows a rough experience of growing up with adults, who are treating the orphaned boys very abusive and having some troubles on where they belonged. Peter, other boys, and Molly have some kinds of conflicts about being a leader and succeeding the mission where the Lord Astar (Molly’s father) have to send to Molly. The conflict has already resolved when they have completed their mission and kept their group safe. It also affects my overall experience that the conflict between different characters did show different perspectives on how they lead and express their experience of leadership in their mission. The space of the theater was small, but it’s large enough for the actors to perform and for the audience to see. The scenery designer Andrew Breithaupt of this play did show a specific place and time. For example, the beginning shows the ship and what era is it. The scenery is also very real locale in the play, and it’s very appropriate views toward the audience for non-professional and school play. The scenery of this play did show more realistic-moving type, but it did move some parts of the scene that I see in the play. Also, it showed the surprising element of changing the sets than the scene. Costume Designer Amy Zsadanyi-Yale did give the clues about the timeline, personalities of every character in the play. But I believe that the costumes should get focused on connecting the situations in the play. For example, an orphanage that the nameless boy (Peter) and other boys lived should have ragged-looking or something damage into the costumes so it can create an effect on costumes from the scene. The costumes show the conflicts and interpersonal relationships, but I should consider that the social groups in this play should look something different from the orphanage and upper class.

Finally the movie is a good movie. Actually this movie doesn’t need any improvement. The writer, actresses, and actors did their best. They tried to make a point and be a creative about it and that is exactly what they did. It is an amazing movie. I
The best improvement they could've made to this play would've been canceling it. I guess if I were the director, I would've tried to make it more entertaining, because it was really boring.
The development of a character on paper is key to being able to create that character on stage. The development of character on paper is also key to understanding it in our imaginations. I read and understand stories and novels much the same way that I read a play script…through character analysis.
The climax of the story has a few layers of drama that really bring out the problems between the characters. We see Santiago and his half brother Cheche battle about the future of the factory; this affects Santiago's relationship with his wife who doesn't know about all the debt and risks he has taken. Then there's Conchita and her husband Paloma, who are experiencing marital issues which become heightened by the seductive lector Juan Julian. Both couples have personal conflicts with one another as well as external issues that affect their lives. The play had interesting parts to it such as infidelity and abuse of sexual nature. some very sensual parts; like infidelity and sexual abuse but were carried out by the cast with immense care and genuineness. Gomez does a really good job of bringing out emotional performances from the actors. This really took me on an emotional/visual roller coaster. The characters moved from happy to angry and from night to day with great ease. Scenes were so realistic and I found myself really engrossed in the story. Gomez interpreted the script really well and I think he related to the story. The story felt natural and cohesive,like it was his
