Spectre1 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 A teen transfers to this high income area school. He is Caucasian and comes from a middle class politically center left military family. His father is a fighter pilot who supports Bernie Sanders. He is really idealistic, intelligent, and athletic. His character is inspired by Captain America, Commander Shepard, Babylon 5's John Sheridan, and Ender Wiggin. He is a member of a military cadet program like JROTC that meets off campus. There is a presidential election going on with candidates similar to Clinton and Trump. He speaks out against the Trump like candidate but stops short of supporting the Clinton like candidate. The popular students and even some of the faculty terrorize the American Muslim students with the rest of the student body and rest of the teachers either too scared or too apathetic to do something. Our brave military cadet sees a group of male jocks and preps telling a minority student to go back to their county. He stands up to them and wins. He tells them we are all Americans. Our brave military cadet inspires the school and rest of the teachers to fight against the bullying and in the end the bullies lose their power. The bullies are taught to fear the might of American unity and patriotism. After graduation he gets an appointment to Westpoint and is chosen to be part of an elite military unit. His actions in a combat zone earns him the Medal of Honor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact it's a military theme is just cosmetics So yes the plot has logic and will appeal to some. Personally I wouldnt watch it as for me its a cliche, I would rather watch a movie situated in the ME about someone who addresses the numerous societal ills, legal inconsistencies and human rights concerns in a school That would be a much more meaningful view of the reality of social injustice that exists in most countries under Sharia law So in summary the real bigotry is not from schools in Western countries but comes from countries that are not Western and dont have our views on human rights "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

algroth Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Have to agree with Bruce, the shows with a very inclusive, politically correct and/or 'socially conscious' aspect to them are dime a dozen in today's standards. It would perhaps fire up a storm based on bringing real-life political figures into the mix, but based on the premise I don't think any controversy would be particularly warranted. It's also not something I'd watch, to be honest - the premise just seems very preachy.

BruceVC Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 The controversy part would be when the said muslim starts a shooting in school kills everyboy except the protagonist. The scene would be the protagonist holding his dead friend/girlfriend and muslim pointing a gun at him. Nuslim says: "Thank you. You made all this possible for me." And walks away. This made me laugh, its cynical and I shouldnt laugh but it still made me laugh "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Heijoushin Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) You know that the beauty of fiction is that you can demonstrate an idea or scenario without having to use real life people or political figures? I mean, unless you specifically want to use controversy to generate sales, why not figure out the concept you want to express and create a fictional universe where you can do so freely?

Lexx Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Typical white boy hero kid tv show. No thanks. The only thing controversial about it would be the bad writing. :> 2 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Chilloutman Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 So Romper Stomper by Disney? xD I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
213374U Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Plot Twist: the "combat zone" where protagonist earns his MoH is actually Wolf Point, Montana. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
