Exploring Life through Genre: A Sci-Fi Thriller Inspired by an Unforgettable Journey

When asked, ‘If someone were to make a movie about your life, what genre would it be?’ many may struggle to find the right words. Arthur Fleck, a character from the movie The Joker, succinctly captures the essence of a life lived under duress and contradictions – 'I used to think that my life was a tragedy but now I realize its a fucking comedy.'

Choosing the Right Genre

If given the chance to choose, I would undoubtedly select a thought-provoking sci-fi film. The complexity of my life, filled with twists and turns, would fit the genre perfectly. The multifaceted nature required for such a portrayal would call for an actor with exceptional versatility, like Siva Karthikeyan. His ability to convey depth and nuance could bring to life the layers of my existence.

The Movie: 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'

Entitled “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” the film would be directed by the dynamic duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. The story would be a blend of drama and comedy, reflecting the stark realities of my life intertwined with moments of humor and levity.

I envision my role being played by Harry Shum Jr., an actor known for his on-screen presence and ability to convey raw emotion. The iconic look – spiky hair in the correct direction – would be crucial to capturing the necessary persona.

My Role in the Story

The narrative would revolve around a young girl, deprived of a father’s presence and living in a world where her dreams often clash with reality. She’s part of a magical, surreal environment, where she simultaneously inhabits the world of books and interacts with a cast of iconic and peculiar neighborhood characters. These characters act as archetypes, grounding her in reality amidst her fantasies.

The Emotional Core

The core of the story would be a tragic realization – a heavy heart clouded by pain and despair. The protagonist has lived in darkness for nearly two decades, leading to a profound sense of hopelessness. She internalizes false hope, fantasizing about love and care from her estranged father. This hinders her ability to find happiness, as she lacks the courage and confidence to pursue it.

My Own Struggles

Memories of painful terror still haunt me, even in broad daylight. Blood tests, urine tests, X-rays, and ultrasounds have all come back clear. Despite the physical clearance, mysterious pains persist, affecting various parts of my body. Each dawn brings a fresh battle with my emotions, a confusing mix of feelings with no clear direction. The journey to regain my sense of self and find happiness in life is ongoing.

As I navigate through life, I often sing a personal song that captures my journey:

“Memories of painful terror in my life, still haunt now and then in broad day-light. Even if the past has pretty much subside, it still pains in quiet nights. I’ve to brace all the pains in my heart, whenever my memories wake up deep inside. At last there is no place to hide, even no way to run and Life. I fight alone with my emotionful and emotionless thought. I cry until new horizon of every morning count downs. At last I lost myself in mystery to heal in life. At this point, my almost every happy and youthful memories became blurry even at the peak of broad youth.”

As I reflect on my life, the ongoing struggle to find happiness and healing is a recurring theme. The light of hope that eventually shines through the darkness offers a glimmer of promise, but the journey to embrace this light remains arduous.

In conclusion, the genre of a thought-provoking sci-fi film encapsulates the complexity and emotional depth of my story. It is a journey where the light and darkness coexist, and the path to happiness is both a struggle and a beacon of hope.
