Judgement


 My movie is called Judgement. It follows the story of a Chief detective who is trying to capture a serial killer that has been getting away for at least eight known years and maybe more. The police officers and detectives are closer than ever to him. Once our story is in place a flash back happens. You then follow the story of a little boy who witnessed his mother killed before his eyes. Murdered in cold blood and everyone knows who the killer is and so he is put on trial but he gets away once again. You learn that this is not the first time that he has gotten away with murder and that he will be out again to kill more. The killer then comes back and kills the kid's dad to show off and to prove that he feels unstoppable and that no one can get to him. This man is friends with all the most powerful people such as lawyers and judges and is wealthy. The little boy is now growing up to become a detective and is fueled by his anger to avenge his parents and to make sure no one has to go through the pain and suffering he had to go through. You then fast forward a few years to when he is in the middle of the investigation of the man that killed his parents. He follows the man on his own time because that is what motivates him as he believes that this is the reason he is alive. He tracks him down to a warehouse where you learn he is about to kill yet again and our guy handcuffs him right there and he is all alone with him with no one around and decides to take things into his own hands and kills him because he judged him unworthy of living. After realizing what he has just done he runs away to a new city and starts killing again those who he sees unfit to live. All this time you thought that it was the chief detective story but you then realize that it was the killer's once the audience starts to feel comfortable with him and doesn't see him as a monster. Our movie then ends when the serial killer organizes a meeting with the detective. Realizing that he is getting old and cannot continue the way he has been living he hands over a small box filled with little vials of blood taken from every victim he has ever killed. With a little letter that explains how he has only killed those unworthy of living tucked away inside the box. The detective doesn't realize what is in the box and continues to eat with the man who told him he had important information about the killer. They have a nice meal and once the time to go comes he hands over the box and both man leaves. Once the detective is in his car he opens the box and takes a look inside. He was so close to the man he wanted and rushes back in to look for him but he is long gone probably retired somewhere far away by now. And he walks back to his car where he reads the letter and finally connects all the dots and realizes that he might have done better then even the police.
This will be a mystery thriller type of movie. The director will be Francis Ford Coppola. He is the man who directed the movie The Godfather and he did a good job doing so. My movie is more on the side of mind games and talking sense and that is what he did really well in the Godfather. The killer will be played by Robert DeNiro who played as a gangster in the movie Goodfellas who murdered people. And the detective will be Sidney poitier who also played a detective role in the movie called the heat of the night. The focus of the film will be the story and cinematography. I would want this movie to really mess with people's minds and what they think is normal and how they are so quick to judge and believe that the kid is the detective and cheer for him but in reality it is the killer. My movie will be rated R for language, violence and blood, and some drug use. This movie shows many things from a 70's movie including Personal Cinema meaning it follows only my views and no one can tell me what to film. It also includes more mature and hard-edged stories with violence. There is also a blurred idea of good and bad. Some people might be cheering for the bad guy and some might be cheering for the good guy. I decided to make this my story because I enjoy mysteries and movies that have lots of plot twist and things that all come together at the end so I tried to make mine like that. A movie that people would remember and that they would need to watch a few times to understand everything that is going on.
