I think it would be cool if there was a movie where a person who has misfourtunes allhis life, his wife left him, thh bank took all his possessions and he has no money. then he blames everything on GOD. and decides to challenge god by breaking every Commandmand, he commits adultery,kills,dishonors father and mother and etc.this could be about God's True Power. Where god shows all his sins in the past and tells him to repent for each one. I HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF A BETTER ENDING. Help me out with the casting, the special scenes and etc.

Unni, seen se7en recently..? story looks very much similar to that, except for God's Power, which in fact could be seen in Bruce Almighty.. Unni oru Jr. Priyadarshan aakaanulla sramamaano.? If you are talking about hollywood remakes possible in malayalam, one i would like to see it 'Wag the Dog' and it should be scripted by Srinivasan

See this :- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120885/
The movie has dustin hoffman and robert de nero in the lead roles. Storyline is something like this. To cover up the presidents sex scandal, a hollywood producer 'creates a war'. The war is shot in the hollywood studios and it is being telecasted in the TV. Whenever they see that the people are losing their interest in the war, they have to come up with new ideas to make the war attractive to the people. There are lot of small funny events and dialogues throughout the movie.
Why i wanted this to be in malayalam, is because, the same things are happening in kerala politics. To cover up the main issues happening in kerala, the govt and the opposition come up with some silly reasons and make it a big thing. And if they are making a movie out of it, only Srinivasan can script it properly.

incidentally Wag the Dog released in the US around 2 weeks before President Clinton came on National TV and accepted that he had a relationship with Monica Lewensky... It made the timing of the movie perfect...
I would say that the movie is a classic, how they come up with each incident... the Shoes hanging from the trees as a tribute... etc...
Bottom line is its easy to take the generatl public for a ride on national sentiments like War, Terrorism, etc...
There was another similar movie which I watch in the 80's... I dont remember the name but the story goes like this... NASA selects 3 astronaughts for their mission to the moon... they are trained and the day of launch arives, they are taken to the Arizona desert launch pad and everything is televised world wide... but actually they are not on the rocket that is launched... they are then made to act out the scenes in a studio and this is show as live clippings to the TV viewers... These astronauts then try to escape and how they are all killed one by one is the story... really cool movie
Anyway, thanx for bringing back the memories of Wag the Dog...
