THE FOUR HOUR ZONE presents as an intriguing sci-fi, psychological thriller. The concept of a woman falsely framed for murder, and then travels back in time to clear her name, is a premise with strong potential. Time travel tales remain a concept that resonates with the mainstream audience. The script conveys themes about revenge, redemption, and second chances. The heroine's initial goal is very clear and the stakes are high. A strong, female leading character drives the plot. The heroine has a solid backstory regarding witnessing the murder of her activist father. She's emotionally driven by her father's death, giving her solid inner conflict and depth. The opening sets up the backstory and sets the tone. The first act establishes the …show more content…
On page 15, when the neighbor discovers Josh’s body, make the character’s reaction more visual vs. “She discovers Josh’s body.” There’s a need for more clarification. Here are some examples: The scene on page 23 of Jessica and the American Boss feels unrelated and non-essential to the plot. The boss pressures Jessica for ratings, but clarify how this relates to the storyline. The relevance of planting John 3:16 isn’t understood. Also, clarify the purpose of the images on page 40 and how this relates to the main plot (Marlon Brando, Eddie Vedder etc.). There’s a lot of action and sometimes the action scene tend to blend together. There are two similar fights with Collins and then the detective (around page 55). Consider combining the two similar scenes. There are also two similar scenes in which Megan “head butts” the cops. Visually the idea of a “helmet” feels out of date and not contemporary. The attack on ANT (the bombs) doesn’t really fit with the main …show more content…
Megan makes for an intriguing character and it's refreshing to see a strong, complex female heroine. She has strong internal conflict. The dream she has of Josh is harrowing and play to her inner fear. She clearly loves her father. What’s not clear is why Megan sees herself and this needs to be explored more. Jessica is believable as the supportive lover. The scene of her proposing is very nice. The script tries to give her some unique character traits, such as performance anxiety, but it needs to be more effectively integrated. As mentioned the scene between Jessica and Scarlette isn’t essential. The detective is a worthy, relentless adversary. He has his own odd obsessions and compulsions, but he and Jessica both talk to their self, making them sound too similar. The other area of the script that needs more development is the dialogue. This is one area that really needs to be strengthened. The current dialogue tends to sound on the nose or un-natural. In addition, some of the dialogue sounds challenging to follow, and it's not always related to the
Avoid having a character talk to one’s self, like Bobby saying, “Wow - how the hell did my stuff get in here?” It sounds on the nose and contrived. The renter sounds on the nose, “Where in the hell did that stuff come from? Something is very fishy.” More on the nose: “I need to wash my face and comb my hair. I was attacked by a huge rat last night.”
It shows how corrupt the world is even though the world in Red Queen is fictional. People in Red Queen are judged for how they look and how much money they have. Even in a book it seems real because these things happen in a daily life. I also like how the main character Mare said and acted how she felt. I feel when she did that it changed the way people looked at her and “people.”
The book of John was written in AD 90, and it was written by John himself “the beloved disciple.” The main characters of the book of John were of course John and Jesus. The book of John was one of the four Gospels of the New Testement. However, it was different than the others. “John’s Gospel is different by nature from the other three. It is an interpretation of the facts of Jesus’ life with an emphasis of His deity” (Hindson & Towns, 2013, p. 342). The book of John first tells us about Jesus’ preexistence and that this child would be born unlike any other child and that child would not depend on a mother, but He would depend on His father; God. This book tells us about all the miracles that He did. He fed thousands with five loaves of bread and two fish, he healed a lame man, and calmed a storm. Then the book of John goes to tell us about Jesus being arrested and the trials that He went through. Also, about Pilate trying to release Him, but could not. It was made up that He was to be crucified. He then was crucified and to make sure that He was dead they pierced his side. In the last chapters of John, it tells us that Jesus was buried in a tomb and He lay there for three days. After the third day, the tomb had been opened and Jesus was gone. He had risen!
Historically, the New Testament Book of John has been difficult to interpret because of its seeming contradictions in John 5 and James 2. However, upon more careful reading and understanding of the time period, these contradictions are really different interpretations of the same general paradigm, simply expressed in a slightly different manner. That idea, of course, is that "we know that we are children of God" (John 5:19). John's major point is that although there is evil in the world, we must go back to the basic teachings of scripture to understand that the dichotomy of God (good and evil, heaven and hell, salvation and damnation) are but opposing forces that one chooses based on the acceptance of faith and that of salvation (Lozada, 2000, intro). John was written for the Christian Gentiles and not the Jews, seen by references to the Jews as potential enemies of Christ (John 1:38, 41-42). This poses a cultural question as well regarding his views of three particular concepts: the family, belief, and faith.
In summary, it is then recommended to insert or foreshadow several clues about the hospital machinations throughout the story to build appropriate momentum for the final revelation and also to gradually build pressure for the protagonist to achieve more dramatically effective story.
In the movie Megan was in tears often and was clearly depressed. She felt no emotional connections and sought out men to fill that emptiness she was feeling. I cannot relate to that side of Megan so I did not connect with her in the movie
implications this had on how his wife’s family viewed their marriage. Throughout Jack’s narrative, it becomes clearer to John how Jack, after previous transgressions, has accepted responsibility for his family. This maturity positively affects John’s impression of Jack and he begins to see Jack in a new light. Jack continues to tell John of his endeavors in the hopes of receiving clarity regarding whether or not to tell his father about his family. However, when John is unable to offer any solid advice, Jack responds by saying, “‘No matter, Papa.
During the first act, the major characters, the location and the conflict that starts the progress of the story are introduced. In Act I, it is important to have a strong hook in order to grab the viewers’ attention. At the end of the act, there is a plot point or some type of inciting incident that causes the protagonist to change some things up and this leads to the second act.
Christians across the globe have different ideas about Jesus and his story. The Gospel of John and the way it tells Jesus' story is quite different from the other three Gospels primarily because of its author. Even though it is not precisely known who the author of this Gospel is, it is very apparent that he was likely in very close relationship with Jesus himself. Identified only as the beloved disciple, or the disciple whom Jesus loved, we can see this close relationship with Jesus throughout the entire narrative of this Gospel (John 20:2). Therefore, the perspective that this author has of Jesus is one with no negativity whatsoever while also seeing him as both the Messiah and the son of God.
Compare: All three books are in the New Testament. John is the author of all three epistle. They all were written in Ephesus around about A.D. 90. Peter: Was one of the original 12 apostles. Was one of the inner circles of the apostles.
John as we know today was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. He was also the brother of James, who was also an apostle. John was the son of Zeebee and of Salome. His father was a fisherman while living in Bethsaida in Galilee on the border of the lake Gennesareth. John's mother was one of many women who gave to the maintenance of Jesus Christ. John's parents were very good people, they loved God and his son. It is said that john and his brother James were fishing when Jesus came and chose them. They were soon known as the fishers of men. The John of whom I am talking about is John the Evangelist.
Worship in the Apocalypse of John Introduction When considering the book of Revelation, the reader immediately gets to the realization that worship from the book is central and key. The theme of worship is of critical importance the understanding the nature of the Revelation of John. The book of Revelation makes 24 allusions to worship which in biblical Greek is the word proskuneoœ meaning to prostate oneself to pay respect and reverence. It is of vital importance to note that when John writes the book of Revelation he is in worship mode, hence Revelation (1:10, 4:2 and 21:10) all he saw, he saw while he was in the ‘Spirit (Tyndale, 1995).
The Gospel of John is believed to be the last of the four Gospels in the New Testament to be written. While the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are similar in their common view, the book of John is distinct. In contrast, none of the parables are recorded in John, and only seven of the miracles are featured. Instead, John delivers the meaning of Jesus by giving the readers a deeper insight and a deeper understanding of Him. He establishes that Jesus Christ is the Jewish Messiah that was prophesized in the Old Testament, who was sent to earth by God in human flesh, gives his life on the cross, and then returns to the Father – all with the view that we may believe in him and receive eternal life.
The book of 1 John was written by John, son of Zebedee, who was part of Jesus’ inner circle (Aland 834). Although the book does not specifically state the author or the audience, each has been identified by historians over time (Paul, Rosner, and Mosser 261). During the time that John wrote his letters, considering they focus on the same problems, we assume that this was during a time where the Christian community was being threatened by false teachings. This threat was very serious and “appears to have arisen from within their Christian community,” which is why John spends most of the time addressing this problem (Dodd 146). The “traditional idea is that the letter of John originated from Asia Minor is sound” (Dodd 147). But, to be specific, there is evidence that they were written in the town of Ephesus as well as the Fourth Gospel. Because the letter have been closely associated with the Gospel of
1 John was written by John sometime between 90-95 AD as a personal letter to believers. He is writing concerning the assurance of eternal life as it seems though perhaps some had some doubts as to whether or not they were really saved because of sin. They key word throughout the entirety of the book is fellowship. He discusses some of the hindrances to fellowship, conditions for fellowship, and the benefits of fellowship. He was really trying to encourage the believers to live a Christian life that will lead to assurance. His secondary purpose was to refute Gnosticism and the false teachings related to it that denied some of the aspects of Christ. 1 John 1:5-2:2 is a discussion of the basis for fellowship to emphasize the main objective of
