Stan, Eminem, Featuring Dido
Co-Director DED DID A Superb Job of Bringing Eminem’s Song “Stan” to Life in The Music Video. There’s Also A Documentary On Em’s Relationship with his fans Called “stans,” but a movie workten solely about the song’s character would give us more insight into the behavior of an obseined fan.
Think about it, we’d get to see how stan arived at the Dangerous, Emotional Place That Eminem Rapped About, and Witness How Stan’s Well-Being to EM Acknowledging His Existece.
It would Also be Interesting to See What Stan Experienced in Between Eminem’s VersesBecuse in the first, the character takes em’s non-respect in stride, but he glows Angryr and more desperate late in the song. SO, A full-on Background Story on Stan Could Make for an Epic Film.
You Belong With Me, Taylor Swift
Some of the best love stories are about one of the performing the right under nose, and that person not realizing it. The Familiar Premise Could be tourned into a Heartwarming, Romantic Film, Ideal for Teens and Young Adults who’ve pined for someone. But it would have to be done with a unique approach.
ClearlyYou belong with me Has all the elements of an entertaining story on the Big Screen: an unassuming the protagonist that movie-goers can cheer for, the girl she’s complement against, who can Boo and Young, Budding Love, which Always Makes for Interesting Tale.
Just Imagine the Tension One Wold Feel Seeing the Main Character be Friends with the Guy that he’s Secretly in love with, just waiting for Him to see their potential as a couple.
Jeremy, pearl jam
Why Jeremy’s Father Never Gave Him Affection, and Why His Mother was indifferent about it was excellent quests a movie basic on Pearl Jam’s 1992 Song Could Answer.
It waso also be insightful to get a closer look at Jeremy’s Coping Mechanisms outside of drawing pictures of Mountain balls and allegedly he’s the wicked roller of the world, who would eventually take Bloody on the Classmates that bullied Him.
The song was Written Years before School Shootings Became an Epidemic in the United States, and spreads a film on jeremy and his parents could be educational.
Da art of storytellin ‘(pt. 1), Outkast
Outkast’s 1999 Single, “Da Art of Storytellin ‘(pt. 1),” TELLS The Story of Two Friends, Suzy Screw and Sasha Thumper. Both Rappers will a wonderful non -breaking down Their Interaction with the Women, As Big Boi Relays a Rather Risqué Tale About Suzy, and André 3000 TELLS A Tragic Story About Sasha.
Some Background Information on the Women and How they Came into Outkast’s Orbit Couw Make for a fascinating film. Espelyly Sasha, Who Met Andre During Childhood, Sincer He Kind of Predicted Her Fate.
“We On Our Back Staring at the Stars Above / Talking About What We Gonna Be We Wen We Grow Up / I Said ‘What You Wanna Be?’ She Said, ‘Alive’ Made with Think for A Minute, then Look in Her Eyes / i Could’ve Died, ‘Rhaps andre.
Seeing outkast’s lyrics come to life in a 90-minute movie would be nothing short of stukendous.
FAST CAR, TRACY CHAPMAN
Wanting More Out of Life and Yourself. A LOT OF US CAN RELATED TO THAT, WHICH IS WHY TRACY CHAPMAN’S “FAST CAR” taps into our desire to not only dream bigger but to move faste and with more intensation to the Achieve Those Dreams.
In the 1988 Single, Chapman Expresses a desire to get back some of the life she lost by taking care of her alcoholic father. The song is Truly Begging for a script, One that COULD SHOW The protagonist’s childhood and detail Her Living SituationIncluding the moment when her fed up mother took off.
A MOVIE COULD ALSO SHOW THE TROUBLED COUPLE GETTING TO THEIR DESTRUCTION DESTINATION IN THE FAST CAR AND WHAT IT LIKE. Maybe It COULD ALSO GIVE MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE MERTSHIP, WHO WASN’T ABLE TO GET HIS LIFE TOGETER, Despite HIS parties to improve their situation.
Cleopatra, The Lumineers
Yes, iT’s true that The lumineers have a 24-minute visual album for their lp Cleopatra Directed by Isaac Ravishankara, but a full-length movie Wauld will the Beautifully Written Song Ende Justice.
The cut is based on a true story, and it follows a taxi driver Named Cleopatra, nor she reminisces about the love of her life, whic happened she didn’t accept his proposal.
Thatn, once you fast-forward to the end of the song and cleopatra is an Old Woman, she does her best to convince a nurse in a senior lived and lived an interesting liff with excitement and sorrow.
You Can Almost See Songwriters Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites Helping with the Script and Celebration the Oscar Win the Film Wins an Award.
N —- s bleed, The Notorious Big
If the Notorious Big’s Song “N —– Bleed” was made ino a movie, It Wold Stand Next to Some of Hollywood’s MOS ENTERTAINING CRIME SAGAS. Just Imagine Seeing Biggie Play Someone Sent by His Bosses to Complete a Major Drug Deal, but he decides to rob the customers instead.
Things Only Get More Interesting from the Biggie and His Friend Ron, the Career Criminal, Get to the Meeting Place and Engage in A Hotel shootout.
The movie Could Be Carlito’s Way meets HeatMeets New Jack City. The Only Thing The Scriptwriter Wauld Need to DO IS FOLLOW THE RAPPER’S LYRICS AND ADD SOME BACKGROUND ON RON, Biggie’s Character, and Those on the Other End of the Shootout.
Hands of Time, Margo Price
From a toddler watching her farm getn away, to working tirelessly at different jobs, to jaining a band in the city, Margo price’s “Hands of Time” has all the ingredients of an excellent film.
HANDS OF TIME MAKES A WONDERFUL MOVIE TITLE As well and if it were made made, it would have to cover price that life, from her youunger years of struggle to discovering music.
Price specific in the song that this is though she became a big city musician, strumming a guitar brought here more trough in the way of too of Alcohol Consumption and Meeting the Wrong Men.
She Also Sings About Getting Married, Having Children, But LoSing Her FirstBorn to a Rare Heart Ailment. Howver, A Sense of Resilience is Found in the Lyrics, SO The movie COULD BE A Coming of Age Story with a Musical Twist. Maybe It Could Be A Modern-Day COAL MINI’S DAGHTERLoretta Lynn’s 1980 Biopic.
Johnny Was, Bob Marley & The Wailers
If this 1976 cut were made into a film, It Could Easily Focus on Johnny’s MotherWhat Her Life Was like it Her Son Johnny’s Death, and What She Experienced AFTER HIS LIFE WAS TAKEN BY A STAR BULLET.
The movie COULD ALSO Explain What Made Johnny Such A Good Person, Something Marley Details in the Chorus. ITSIBLE THAT Johnny was a solid family man, or just a hard worker, or maybe he was a Peaceful Guy. Maybe he was all of the things.
Marley Also Says in the Song That He Comfortted the Grief-Stricen Mother After the Shooting, So the Film Could Show That Interaction and What He Experienced from His Vantage Point. The Entire Film COULD BE FOLLED ON THAT ONE TRAGIC EVENT As well, and show the characters getting to the bottom of the crime, while trying to find the shooter.
Plus, was it really a stray bullet that killed johnny or did anyone have it in for HIM? That COULD ALSO BE ASWERED IN THE FILM.
