Bankenstein - a treatment for a movie

Subject: BANKENSTEIN - "For good's sake"
Working title, freely adapted from the author's book Bankenstein (2006)

Content

The plot is related to events to occur in the next few years: a deep economic and financial crisis, a harsh depression which will compel all of us to address the incertitude of our future.
The film is about the story of a couple: she is a radiant woman in her 30s, long black hair, who likes sexy dresses. She has a doll-like body, she is about 1,70 tall and subtly perverse, sort of Angelina Jolie. He is in his 50, a character looking like George Clooney.

Disguised as Mandrake, Bankenstein is a confidence inspiring third character, turning up at various moments when the couple faces a crisis: from trivial daily bickering to jealousy scenes. Bankenstein appears as a narrator in flash-back-like episodes as Piero Angela usually does (an Italian Journalist and showman who makes popularization programmes about science, history, etc.). On such occasions he uncovers to the benefit of the audience the subtle thread which ties the couple's troubles to the
obscure tricks of the international banking system. Key-episodes of the daily micro story open lightning views into the occult power system which from the backstage and by unseen actions affects the life of normal people.

In the first part of the film Bankenstein poses as an Internet activist-conspirationist, then towards the end he gradually becomes the devil’s advocate (of himself ultimately). Deploying a sophisticated oratorical and manipulative ability, he thus reverses what he explained before till he contrives to talk the audience into accepting that, as negative the consequences of banking and great finance policy are, everything is ordained for a good sake, a truly good and truly new world order where everyone can attain the longed-for goal of becoming a member in the strong power Elite ruling the social pyramid and enjoying wealth and privileges.(provided he/she has the suitable, scruple-free mental attitude of the Anarchist Banker of Pessoa).

The film is a reply to the many conspiratorial films - of which the latest is Michael Moore's 'CAPITALISM'. This reply is a baffling and questionable apology of the reasons and ultimate aims of the 'Great Banker of the Universe'.

The spectators, the man on the street, will be left in confusion by this movie: on the one hand, they will have gained a better understanding of and an unexpected insight into the dark side of money and banking and their often devastating effects upon everyday life; but on the other hand they will be puzzled by Bankenstein's paradoxical, half convincing apology of the bankers' ways and plans - an apology which sounds sometimes cynic, sometimes exhilarating, sometimes surreal but rational and competent.

Some scenes echo back to De Sade’s Justine, Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, Sellers’ Chance the Gardener, and Besson’s Nikita. Some of the couple’s tics remember Allen’s women and his neurotic stories.

In the opening scene, the first meeting of the couple occurs by chance: they chat on Facebook, they decide to watch each other on the web-cam, but they can’t set up the visual connection. So he writes: to see you I’ll have to come to you! And she: then come at once! It’s the middle of the night, he takes his car and drives to her home by means of a GPS navigator. She opens the door and after a coffee they have a sex night like in Last Tango in Paris. The day after he leaves her some cash money on the table (by accident?). She takes it and goes to the bank to deposit and…

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
