Movie title: La Matanza

 

 

It will be based in one of Mexico’s small towns plagued by warfare between competing drug cartels and government’s armed forces. A serial killer, suspected to be affiliated with one of them, has gone on rampage by killing en masse dozens of teenage girls in a certain time period, inside their vicinity. They are slashed, mutilated, and some of their body parts are even displayed across the routes (a common tradition of show-off by cartel leaders to terrorize the populace). Many of their parents, and in particular their teachers, are psychologically affected by such gory happenings. Hampered by weak legal enforcement, some of them even attempt to avenge their beloved ones’ deaths by putting an eye to an eye towards the cartel leaders.

It is not until a psychiatrist, and a teacher, confront them, and tell them the complicating, intricately interconnected nature of these organizations, and how their blatant, ill-considerate revenge may disrupt the stability of the entire community.

Note: La Matanza is Spanish translation for ‘bloodshed’.

 

 

Movie title: Drunken & Dead At the Midnight in Paris

 

The singer, rather than finding himself going back to 1920s’ Paris, becomes increasingly disenchanted with his fellow partners, his producers, his manager, then the whole Parisian society, and eventually, of his own identity and self-existence.

Okay, it would be a bit unthinkable if Woody Allen directed this plot instead.

Movie title: One-Eyed Jap

 

 

Suggestion: the plot, as of my suggestion, could have been better if the psychopath had once been a PTSD-affected World War II soldier who failed to rescue his fellow troops in a deadly battle somewhere in Pacific Ocean. Maybe.

‘Impossible’ movie title: Swastika In Istanbul

 

 

In parallel universe.

A pipe-smoking film producer who gradually becomes deaf. A prisoner who has passion in making films. And a Nazi in a time when Adolf Hitler was still an early teenager and wanted instead to become an architect, who ended up involved in their love affair, embodied in an intricate love triangle.

Yes, in a distant parallel universe, far far away.
