Write A Plot From The Title (Writing Game)

Go To

If you're familiar with Contextualize/Whamise This Line, then you may know how this will work. However, instead of a line, you must write a plot/synopsis based off a title from a work in a "Poster above you" format. For example...

Troper A: Soul Surfer

Troper B: Soul Surfer is a cyberpunk action film about a man who has the unique ability to go into the bodies of other people, and must do this to clear his name for a crime he hasn't committed.

Something like that. I'm just hoping I'm being concise enough. Alright, let's begin.

Tear Jerker (so many tearjerkes today) about two young kids that were abandoned by their family when they were 3, and they barely remember their faces.They have to survive alone. One day they adopt a stray dog, that later is euthanasied to make the city cleaner. Later on, one of them dies. The death makes the other one question the existence of himself. It starts raining. He says "In the end, we were always... just Shadows in the Rain". He falls unconcious.

When he wakes up, he is in an unknown house. He looks around, that house is very poor. In there, he finds an old grandma. Her son was killed in a car crash and her grandson died of cancer, so she lives alone. She feels like she has been given one more chance by God, so she starts raising up the kid.

I... don't know where i am going with that. Anyway, this movie was controversial, with many people finding it too sappy. It was a commercial flop.

A "true" story (presented with "this really happened, I kid you not!") about Chaim Goldblatt, a Jewish Rabbi who's fed up with his duties and just wants to become a boxer. After taking a few major losses in the ring, he finally wins — spectacularly. His fights become so popular that he fights in a crowded arena every single day (except the Sabbath!) and becomes a legend known as "The Pummeler." He invests his massive winnings in the stock market, and becomes a gajillionaire. Then he has a crisis of faith, stops boxing, and finds God again.

Also, I think of Shadows in the Rain as an invasion story on an Ocean Planet, where aliens come from the sky and blot out the rain (hence the "shadows"). Turns out the aliens are human.

A comedy that lampoons the typical pitfalls of bureaucracy. American tourist Harry Langdon is falsely accused of robbing a bank in Berlin despite clear evidence showing he was unsuccessfully hitting on local women when the robbery occurred. Despite the charges being hastily dropped, Harry spends two years in prison because of some misplaced paperwork.

The unaired special of "Monty Python," the popular children's host. Monty was designed as a sock puppet snake but eventually grew to a fully animatronic snake. The special in particular was meant to be a "gentler" way to introduce preteens to sexuality, but its use of phallic imagery had the project quickly shut down.

The plot focus on the leader of the colony and his direct subordinate who is in charge of the military section. They have a Harmony Versus Discipline conflict regarding the population of the colony.

Thank you!

A (purportedly) nonfiction book about an Action Girl princess who was forgotten by the world due to a plot by The Illuminati... until now. Mostly brushed off for its more Hollywood-ish qualities, but it does have some interesting facts about the life of royalty about a thousand years ago.

A quirky comedy about an edge-of-town motel, its staff, and all the shenanigans they find themselves in with the people who stay there. Hilarity ensues. Also a tiny subplot about competing with the new chain hotel that just opened on the other side of town.

The sequel to the play "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" which was in turn based on the eponymous documentary based on the eponymous song (both of which actually exist). The playwright who wrote the play based on the documentary also wrote this sequel, but because it was essentially a re-hash of the play he originally wrote, it was generally derided and thus didn't do very well. The playwright stopped writing Great Depression plays altogether.

Kate Rivers and her husband Jay go on the run when she murders their prick neighbor. This serves as a character study for both Kate, who finds herself enjoying her slip into evil, and Jay's ruthless loyalty to the woman he loves. Their cross country spree takes them from Philadelphia to Seattle where Kate and Jay burn a night club to the ground, rob numerous banks, hijack a semi truck driven by a surprisingly amiable driver. After Jay takes a bullet for Kate she gets shaken out of her madness and manages to retreat to Mexico.

An action movie for anti-environmentalists. Slade Torchwood is the resident badass who makes it his job to torch forests and wildlife reserves so they'll be good for nothing except being paved over. His opponents are an ominous Animal Wrongs Group and Evil Luddites who dispute his unfailing conviction that nature was made for man to dominate. Torchwood kills them all.

A con man infiltrates the land of the dragons, and tries to scam the sexually frustrated population by introducing them to various cheap courting tricks from the human world. His book, "Capturing a Dragon's Heart" initially becomes a dragon bestseller, but when young, impressionable dragons start experiencing heartbreak due to the con's lame dating advice, our protagonist suddenly has an army of very angry dragons following him home, intent on destroying everything precious to him.
