IDEA: A young boy is adopted by two suburban parents. The boys struggles to bond with his adoptive parents and finds that his acts of violence help to release his built-up anger that has been created ever since he suffered a long time ago with his biological parents.
ELEMENTS: I will take the idea from We Need To Talk About Kevin and how Kevin and his mother struggle to find the bond which eventually results in the one disastrous event that Kevin has created.
GENRE & LOCATION: My extract will be about a psychological thriller that is set in the present day in set in rural Kent.
CHARACTER (PROTAGONIST) Vs CHARACTER (ANTAGONIST): There is no obvious antagonist at the beginning of the film as the boy plays the innocent one as he has to deal with a devastating change. However as the film progresses and his acts towards his parents become more volatile and unreasonable we see that the parents are the protagonists as they are the victims of his outbreaks and the boy is the antagonist as he grows older so he should be old enough to know better than to bully the adoptive parents that tried to care for him and bond with him.
CHARACTER (ANTAGONIST) CREATES CONFLICT: The boy damages or kills something of value to the parents which arises when his past haunts him and causes psychological damage. He could kidnap and torture his parents because he is mimicking what his biological parents did to him.
CHARACTER (PROTAGONIST) RESOLVES THE SITUATION: There is no obvious resolution because the parents are seen before the scene ends but I will end it on a cliffhanger to not actually show if the boy kills the parents but I will show him holding a knife and heading towards the parents.
