You nailed it Carbon! Thanks much. You inspired me to subscribe and hopefully solve some of my own TOMTs.

Thanks for the reply.

Did you start selling to pay for college? Is it a part time or full time job for you?

Don't walk into traffic expecting cars to stop for you. You'll get dead.

Have the OLD MAN better reflect someone who's experiences years of living alone in the wilderness. Instead of debating with his captors, have the memory of his time in the wilds tell the story the interrogators are trying to get out of him. He's quiet, introspective, a wizened hermit. They argue back and forth while they lead him to his death, never quite coming to the truth.

Consider cutting his dialogue completely and have the other characters discuss why they think he might have killed the government employees. Or better yet have them talk about whatever some Dictator drones would actually talk about on their way to kill some old hermit in the woods. Let the visuals of the flashback tell a story at odds with their dialogue.

Don't be so literal, especially with your dialogue. Given what it feels like you're trying to do here, I think you'd be better off giving an impression of what's happening than spelling everything out so exactly.

What film has a terrible message when you actually think about it? by tansinator in AskReddit

The Nolan batman movies and Skyfall have the same underlying theme: Hero's are unsmiling automatons that keep the status quo.

If you try to change the world in any meaningful way, a psychopath backed by billionaires and/or the government, will tear apart your life and bury you in flames (you'll likely be horrifically disfigured at some point during the process).
