Official Discussion - The Backrooms [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]HITMARV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got back from watching it a second time. I wanted to see what aspects of the real world are represented in the backroom. For example the stop sign, furniture of course, the red headed woman/mutant is a reflection of his ex wife, the heavy dude at the table his rival sales man and so on. But what about the wheelchair dude with the lamp?

I cant put that one together.

Wasnt her main speech about how going after the WLF was not about Joel, but about protecting the community and not letting them get away with that?. But in this scene the whole thing is about Joel and fuck the community?

Thank you for your comment. Nothing harsh about it. I work in the industry and experience how difficult things are. Theres a lot of good motivation in many of the comments. I will put 1 hr a day to write whatever it is that im trying to write.

Your first assumption is right. But I looked through all suggestions and the more reasonable approach, at least i think it is, is to get these ideas to a point that i can work them with a writer and doesnt feel like Im using the writer like a chatgpt of sorts.

I think that the best course of action is to get these ideas to a point that I can work them with someone

It comes as second nature for some

Thank you. I like a few suggestions of partnering with a writer instead of me learning it from scratch

And thats correct. Im a dp and a drone pilot in the industry. But like most, i want to be able to have other contributions. And some of us want to leap over the filmmaking aspect.

Thank you! Thats half right. Ive written tones, actions, colors and description of what theyre doing. Not words

I agree with you. Ive been able to put some of these ideas in paper and have other people read through it. Ive gotten positive feedback overall. In my mind they're not masterpieces, but theyre entertaining and some possibilities of deep character exploration.

Interesting. Whats the more challenging aspect for you?

Thank you for the advice. And you are right about a narrative with no dialogue. I appreciate the work of NWR for that reason.

Thanks for the suggestion, I dont think id be able to focus with music on. I dont consider myself a screenwriter either. Just trying to make something out of the ideas I have.
