Save your money—I have the movie plot figured out.
They’ll base the story off a real mass-shooting (”based on actual events”), with these major plot points:
1) The shooting will take place in a school or another location where there are a lot of children present. (They could go with an amusement park, until they realize that Tom Clancy did that in “Rainbow Six” and don’t want to be associated with a book that shows an effective military response.) They’ll show a lot of dead kids to really drive their point home.
2) The shooter is a lifetime NRA member and former member of the NRA national board. He’s a white man whose wife ran off with her female lover and took their kids—probably with a restraining order against him from a sympathetic judge because he’s so dangerous because he has guns, etc. In other words—the shooter will be unlike any actual mass murderer in history.
3) Meryl Streep is the unarmed person who talks the shooter into giving up his guns. She’ll probably be a teacher or principal, maybe the wife or the wife’s lover.
4) Armed civilians will be completely useless. They’ll be shown shooting each other and some of the children.
Michael Moore will love it.
Lawrence O’Donnell will love it because it supports his belief that people armed only with love in their hearts can stop psychos bent on killing a lot of people.
Critics in the media will love it.
The education establishment will show the film in all schools.
The movie won’t make back half its budget.
Aren’t the hollywood lefties insufferable?
