Three Films

[gaviston]

Before I die, I hope to see three films made:

1. Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon, which should be an HBO mini-series.
2. The Donner Party, which should be a quiet yet a brutally honest film, and it should also be ‘character’ driven.
3. Along the lines of Schindler’s List, a three hour epic film called, The Trail of Broken Tears.  There should be two parallel stories in the feature film: (1) of those who left early and (2) those who left late.  And, it should be told in flashback from an old man’s perspective at the end of life, remembering his boyhood.
