Movie Idea

Movie opens on our hero, Sebathius, in bed with a beautiful woman. They are making love. He is a talented lover and she screams in carnal pleasure. But, at the moment of climax, our hero is hit by an overwhelming feeling of guilt at his petit-bourgeois lifestyle and he flees into the night wearing nothing but his socks. Here follows a powerful scene of him looking at his reflection in a river -the Seine? The Thames? The Bosphorus?- as he awakens to the concept that his life has been based on false needs and he wonders if he has ever had a true feeling apart from his current one of cold. The camera pans back to reveal a wise, old homeless person staring at him with a tear in his eye (Note to director: play Yellow by Coldplay). We cut to the next day and our hero is sitting at his desk at work but still struggling to find moral authenticity in a culture of distraction and still wearing just his socks. The next sequence needs finessing but, to show his resistance against dominant ideology and to draw in a younger public, the outline is that he meets a sexy female scientist on the bus and they decide to build a giant robot together (montage scene to Livin’ on a Prayer by Bon Jovi). The movie ends with our hero in bed with the scientist. They are making love. But, at the point of climax, she wonders if they can really subvert existing culture or if they are just feeding it and she decides to run off with the giant robot. Our hero is left alone in bed. In his socks (to Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees?).
