Build a movie plot around this: Who join Leonidas and his 300 soldiers? A Persian emissary
----
Answer: Spartan customs are harsh. The Spartans inspect each infant born to ensure it is whole - if it is deformed, the baby is abandoned to die. They raise their boys in the school of hard knocks, the agoge - in combat training, a small boy's loss of his weapon earns a bloody lip from the hand of his own father. At age 7, each young boy is torn from his mother and makes his own way in the wilderness, to return a man. Even the King endures this rite of passage. At age 15, young King-to-be Leonidas (Tyler Neitzel) lures a wolf into a narrow passage so that he can kill it. He returns home to be crowned King.Years later, messengers visit King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) requesting Sparta's submission to King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro). Insulted by their attitude, King Leonidas kicks the messengers into a well. Acknowledging the threat of Xerxes's invasion force, he visits the Ephors (priests) to obtain their favour before sending the Spartan army in battle. He proposes to repel the numerically superior enemy by using the terrain of the Hot Gates of Thermopylae, funneling the Persians into a narrow pass between the rocks and the sea, where their immense numbers will "count for nothing." The Ephors, wary of the plan, consult the Oracle (Kelly Craig). In her drugged trance she decrees that Sparta must not go to war, lest they interrupt the sacred Carneian festival. Leonidas departs in anger, and the priests receive their bribe of Xerxes' gold from the Spartan traitor, Theron (Dominic West), for their negative response.Leonidas is reluctant to defy the corrupt clergy outright, but his wife (Lena Headey) encourages him to think outside the box. Leonidas elects to take 300 of his best soldiers as his "bodyguard" on a leisurely walk to the strategic Hot Gates location. His wife says goodbye, telling him to come back "with his shield or on it", and gives him a necklace.On the road they meet some allies, who are shocked that the Spartans are sending such a small force. Leonidas asks the professions of the allied army, who are...
Q: Build a movie plot around this: What does Mike realize his father wanted him to be? an actor not a black actor
A: A man (Vin Diesel) wearing a sleeveless white undershirt and black hat is speaking in an thick Italian-American accent, with accompanying gestures and body movements. He says there are no good women out there, then tells a story. He took his girlfriend out to dinner and struck a stranger who seemed to have been flirting with her. Upon realizing the stranger was gay, he concluded that his girlfriend was flirting, took her outside and beat her. The storyteller concludes by expressing his confusion that she doesn't call anymore, re-enforcing his theme that there are no good girls available.Across the room, a man (Lewis Steidl) asks if Mike (the storyteller) can speak Italian. Mike repeats a few commonly-heard phrases. Holding up a headshot photo of Mike, he asks who Mike's agent is - it is clear that the story was an audition for an acting job. The man impassively says for Mike to call with the info, indicating the end of the interview. The woman (Cara Gaffen) sitting at the table stops Mike for a moment asking who wrote the monologue. Mike claims it is a true story.At a streetside payphone, Mike speaks with only a slight New York accent to his manager, assuring him that he followed his instruction to claim the monologue was a true story. As he speaks, he wipes his bicep with alcohol to remove a mark evidently placed to make him convincing in the role. He worries about the offensiveness of the story, complaining that such an attitude won't win an Oscar. He laughs into the phone and says Joe Pesci was different.Next Mike walks into a waiting room, encountering a black friend Ivan (Phillip Jones) who is also there to audition. As Mike dons a shirt and adds an earring, they discuss making commercials, a source of income for struggling actors. Mike says that real actors like Pacino and Denzel don't do them, while Ivan expresses willingness for any paying job. Mike relates his concerns about the offensive audition.They are interrupted by a black man (Ivan Jordain) who looks surprised at Mike's appearance. He...
Question: Build a movie plot around this: Who used the black slug to control Haku? Yubaba
Answer: Ten-year-old Chihiro (voice: Daveigh Chase in the 2002 English dub) and her parents (voices: Lauren Holly and Michael Chiklis) drive to their new home. Chihiro is whiny and unhappy about the move, especially when she notices that the bouquet her friend gave her as a good-bye gift is wilting. In sight of their new house, they take a wrong turn and follow a bumpy, decayed old road through the woods; Chihiro sees an odd old statue through the trees as they drive by. The road ends at a tunnel leading to an abandoned theme park. It gives Chihiro the creeps, but her parents persuade her to go in with them and look around.After wandering across a grassy landscape and a dry riverbed, they climb a stone staircase and come to a street lined with restaurants and shops. Most are deserted, but the aroma of cooking leads them to the one restaurant that's well stocked with food -- though it's mysteriously deserted. Mom and Dad are hungry and start eating, despite Chihiro's objections. The food is delicious, and Chihiro wanders away to explore while they eat. She finds a towering, ornate building that she recognizes as a bathhouse (a spa resort); there's a train track running under it. She meets a boy (voice: Jason Marsden) in traditional dress who is alarmed to see her; he tells her to leave and get back across the river before it gets dark. Chihiro runs back to her parents, but they're still eating -- and they've turned into pigs. Strange, dark, ghostly figures appear in all the shops and streets, frightening Chihiro and separating her from the pigs that were her parents. Chihiro runs back to the river, which was nearly dry when they came over but is now full and large, and she doesn't even recognize the buildings on the far side. As a riverboat approaches, she notices that her body has become transparent.The riverboat lands a big crowd of people in costume -- or maybe they're not people; at first they're only visible as paper masks. Chihiro thinks shes dreaming, but can't wake up. The boy who warned her away finds her and...
Build a movie plot around this: What does Fred order Ruby to do? to kill Catherine
----
Answer:
The film begins somewhere in the rural southwest USA in a desert ghost town. At the town's sole gas station, called Fred's Oasis, an old man named Fred (John Steadman) is seen packing his truck and drinking alcohol, looking very worried. He frequently glances at the arid and barren landscape around him, and makes continual comments about "them" and what "they" would do to him if they ever found out he was escaping. Suddenly, a ragged and somewhat feral teenage girl turns up. Annoyed, Fred asks the girl at what she is doing there... addressing her as Ruby (Janus Blythe). She offers to trade what she has in her bag for food and the old man refuses. They move into a small cabin to talk and Fred scolds her for what she and "they" have done recently. Ruby says that her family ambushed a group of passing toursts at the nearby closed-down airfield because they were hungry and no one passes by their home anymore. She pleads with Fred to take her away with him, but he mocks her and says she could never live with normal people in an urban enviroment. He demands whether "the pack", in particular someone named Jupiter, knows what she is doing. He warns her of the danger she is in if Jupiter ever knew, and she retorts that her "Pa" would do the same to Fred if he knew he was getting away from town. A noise distracts them and Ruby hides.A large stationwagon pulling a large trailer pulls into the filling station. They make up of Carter family on vacation. They make up of 65-year-old Bob Carter (Russ Grieve) a retired policeman and his homemaker wife Ethel (Virginia Vincent). They are driving the family car accompanied by their twin teenage children Bobby (Robert Houston), and Brenda (Susan Lanier), and eldest daughter Lynne (Dee Wallace), along with Lynne's husband Doug (Martin Speer) and their baby daughter Katy (Brenda Marinoff). They stop at Fred's Oasis for fuel and to allow themselves and the family's German Shepherd dogs, Beauty and Beast, to stretch. Bob asks Fred for directions to the nearby interstate for they are...
