Q: Build a movie plot around this: What is Sedgewick Bell poised to do ? Run for Senator
A: Professor William Hundert is a distinguished Classics history teacher at St. Benedict's Academy for Boys. Another year is beginning, and the students file in and introduce themselves. Hundert has a certain plaque above his door he requires one student, Martin Blythe to read. The plaque states: "I am Shutruk Nahunte, King Anshand and Sussa, sovereign of the land of Elam. By command of Ishushinck I destroyed Sippar, took the stele of Niran-Sin, and brought it back to Elam, where I erected it as an offering to my god, Inshushink." He requires his students to look up Shutruk Nahunte, then stops them, saying they won't find it in any history book, because Nahunte is not any. Hundert then says that Nahunte was virtually forgotten because "Ambition and conquest without contribution is without significance." Then he challenges his students, saying "What will your contribution be? How will history remember you?" which becomes the theme of the film. A friendly relationship between Hundert and fellow teacher Elizabeth is also introduced, as she has returned from Greece and presents Hundert with a snow globe of the Parthenon.A new student enter the fray shortly after, a certain Sedgewick Bell, the son of a senator from West Virginia. The cocky Bell starkly contradicts the principled Hundert, and various acts of rebellion lead to much tension between the two. As Bell's attitude worsens, and Hundert unable to straighten him, Hundert feels forced to travel to Washington D.C. and have a word with Senator Bell, Sedgewick's father. The Senator shows a surprising amount of apathy in his son's character development, and reprimands Hundert, telling him that Hundert's job is to teach him facts out of a text book, but not to influence him as a person. Hundert dejectedly returns to St. Benedict's and begins preparations for a certain "Mr. Julius Caesar" contest. The three finalists are determined by a series of essays given by Hundert, and the three highest net scores proceed to the finals, where they stand on stage in togas and...
Question: Build a movie plot around this: Who is investigating Susie's disappearance Jack
Answer: The film starts with Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan) reminiscing about her childhood. There was a snow globe with a penguin in it she was worried for since he was all alone. Her father, Jack (Mark Wahlberg) tells her that the penguin has a nice life, since he is stuck in a perfect world. Later that night, Jack makes love to his wife, Abigail (Rachel Weisz), next to the pile of books near their bed.Susie remembers being given a camera and how she loved that photos could capture a moment before they were gone. She wanted to be a wildlife photographer and would go around taking photos of people in the neighborhood (focusing on a heavy-set girl).She remembers going to a sinkhole near a farm with her father and tossing things in, remembering that she was full of wonder at how the earth swallowed things whole. She remembers seeing Ruth Conners (Carolyn Dando), the school weirdo, at the farm and that she (Susie) now knows that Ruth saw things that others didn't.Susie also remembers the worst thing that ever happened to the family: The day her little brother, Buckley, swallowed a twig and stopped breathing. Susie stole her father's mustang and proceeded to drive past her parents in town on the way to the hospital, saving her brothers life. She remembers the relief in her parents eyes when they thought that they were lucky since nothing bad happened to them. Lynn, Susie's grandmother, tells Susie that the Buddhists say that saving the life of another grants a person a long life. Susie notes the irony of this since she was murdered on December 6th, 1973 - back before missing children were on milk cartons and people thought of such things happening.Susie has a crush on a senior named Ray Singh. Lynn notes Susie's crush and tries to get her to talk to him. Susie tells her to shush while her narration tells us that if she hadn't been so distracted by Ray, she'd have noticed that something was wrong. That someone in her neighborhood was watching her. Lynn buys her a milkshake and asks why she hasnt kissed him. She says she's...
[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: what did Tajomaru ask his wife to do after raping her? Travel with him
****
[A]: Sheltering from a rainstorm in the ruins of the Rashomon gatehouse, a woodcutter (Takashi Shimura) and a priest (Minoru Chiaki) sit dejected. A commoner (Kichijiro Ueda) joins them, and wants to hear the "strange story" they have just heard at a murder enquiry in the courthouse garden. The story has horrified the priest. Even though "year after year, it's been nothing but disasters," he has "never heard a story as horrible as this." The woodcutter is utterly confounded, and hopes the commoner can help him understand it.The woodcutter begins the narration, telling the commoner that three days earlier he had gone "into the mountains to get wood."The woodcutter is walking through the woods, carrying his axe. Sunlight filters through the foliage, dappling everything with a mix of sun and sharp shadows. He sees a woman's hat caught on a bush. Further along, he picks up a samurai's hat and some cut up rope. He sees something small amongst the leaves on the ground, and goes towards it, but does not notice the corpse right in front of him until he trips over it. He screams and, dropping everything (including his axe), runs away. He says, "I ran as fast as I could to tell the police. Then, three days later--today--I was called to testify."The woodcutter is seated in the sunlit courthouse garden, addressing the court, unseen and unheard behind the camera. He testifies that he is the one who found the body. Asked if he saw "a sword or something," he protests emphatically that he found "nothing at all" but the hats, rope, and "a shiny amulet case." And here he lets slip two additional details: the rope was "near the body" and the amulet case had "a red lining."The priest is seated in the courthouse garden. He testifies that he saw the man three days earlier, travelling on the road with a woman on a horse, and armed with a sword and bow and arrows. [There is a brief shot of the samurai passing on the road, turning to smile at his wife.] The priest comments on the fragility of life and offers condolences to someone off...
Question: Build a movie plot around this: Where does Twill stab the giant mollusk? Twill stabs it in the eye with a grappling hook
Answer:
The title and credits are shown over a night view of the Salton Sea in California. We open with an aerial view of the Salton Sea (daytime). The narrator tells us, "This is the Salton Sea in Southern California. A strange phenomena in which nature has placed 400 square miles of salt water in the middle of an arid desert. In the desert close to shore of the sea the government has established one of its most important Naval Research Bases. At the laboratory on the secluded south tip of the base top secret atomic experiments are carried out under rigid security controls." An earthquake rocks the base. A few hours later the base if back to normal, but under the Salton Sea a fissure has opened. A parachute jump is executed over the sea. The recovery team in a patrol boat is waiting to pick up Lt. Hollister. Seamen Fred Johnson (Jody McCrea) and Howard Sanders (William Swan) spot the plane and steer towards the jumper. All they see when they arrive is the parachute. Johnson dives into the water to search for Hollister. Johnson surfaces, then dives under the boat to get to the other side. He does not resurface, but Sanders is confronted by something we only briefly see as a shadow that causes him to recoil in horror. He screams. The land radio operator, Seaman Wyatt (Charles Tannen) tries to re-establish contact with the patrol boat. Unsuccessful, he calls Naval Intelligence. Sally (Wallace Earl credited as Eileen Harley) answers the call. Wyatt eventually talks to Lt. Cmdr. John "Twill" Twillinger (Tim Holt). He and Lt. Robert "Clem" Clemens (Harlan Warde) take a boat out onto the sea to investigate. They spot the deserted boat and pull up along side. The body of seaman Sanders is on deck. He is dead. There is no sign of the other crewman or the parachutist. Twill notices a sticky white residue on the port side of the boat. He directs Clem to, "Look at this stuff." They take a sample. Hollister's body surfaces and they notice that his skin is dark and his eyes bugged out. He has a shriveled appearance.They return to...
