Full movie plot
Here's the full plot of the movie. I would like to thank Mr. Weintraub, Reuben, Matt Hill, and Jefferson Airplane for all their help and support.
It's the year 3000 and Billy Ray Cyrus (Willy J. Citrus to avoid a law suit) used his daughter (Riley's ) army to take over the world. In order to create a wholesome world, all controversy has been removed from music and therefore all depth and creativity. Instruments have been banned and outlawed. Riley Citrus and the Bonas Brothers (Reuben interpreted this band name in a very perverted manner) are the only forms of musical entertainment and attendance at their concerts is mandatory. One girl named Pam is a discontented outcast and she finds the ghosts of John Lennon, Pete Townshend, Freddy Mercury, and Ringo Starr in her closet and together they form a band called "Who's The Beatle Queen" However, Pam meets a boy named Adam and he introduces her to McGangsta, a rapper whose music is vulgar yet meaningless. All the people who feel rebellious like Pam come to his concerts. What they don't know is that the government hired him to keep the rebels under control (people fail to notice the telltale signs such as the Louis Vuitton gun holsters.) Pam and Adam develop a romantic relationship as Pam becomes a big fan of McGangsta. She fights with the ghosts over the merit of McGangsta and breaks away from the band. As she escapes, she comes to a death camp where all people who defy the Vogue standard of beauty and teenage mothers are sent. She is soon captured by Willy J. Citrus and discovers that McGangsta betrayed her. Adam runs away and deserts Pam out of fright. Pam wakes up in the Citrus mansion and finds herself in a library full of censored media including the movie Finding Nemo. Willy J. Citrus explains to her the "evils" of rock music and shows her the video of Queen's "I Want To Break Free" to prove his point. (For those of you who are unfamiliar with the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hMrY8jysdg) He then shows Pam that the emotions in music encourage selfishness and shows Pam the sacrifice her parents made for her that she never appreciated. Pam sees the scene of the day she is born. Now in this society, babies who cry loudly are sent to a home for emotionally disturbed children because expression of emotions other than happiness is believed to be detrimental to society. When the nurse hears Pam cry, she runs back into the birthing room and Pam's father tells her that he was listening to the new Riley Citrus album which is loud and screechy in order to protect her. When Pam is two, the government finds out about this and her parents lose their jobs and are ostracized and harassed daily. Their status improves slightly when Pam's sister turns out to be an ideal member of the society but not much. Pam's obliviousness to the situation and refusal to conform burden her parents and after seeing the scenes Pam is convinced that she's a selfish person and tries to conform to society. Some time has passed and Pam follows the rules and seems relatively content but one night she has a dream where a white rabbit takes her through a rainbow time vortex to Woodstock in the sixties, the punk rock era of the seventies, the eighties, and Nirvana in the nineties. Then she goes to the year 2008 where she witnesses Willy J. and Riley taking over the world. She sees the brutal murders of musicians and large numbers of undesirables sent to death camps (including the acapella groups who rebel after the decree against musical instruments) She sees people fighting who end up murdered. She sees the ghost try to assist in rebellions that end in failure and after several attempts, agree to lay low until the government feels secure in its power but they also had trouble finding the right person for the rebellion (no knowledge of Mc Gangsta=more impressionable and open) until Pam. Pam wakes up and realizes that the war she's fighting is bigger than she is and that is her responsibility to fight so the rebels would not have died in vain. She runs back to the Citrus mansion where she fights Willy J.s army. she is brutally outnumered until she is joined by an army of ghosts (including the ones in her closet, Bob Marley, and Jimmy Hendrix) She ends up in an ultimate show down with her sister Becky (who was the one who "betrayed") her to Willy J. Citrus. The rest of the army falls down in a puff of pot from Bob Marley. Willy J. admits he was using Becky as a pawn and makes Pam choose between her life or Becky's. Pam chooses Becky out of family responsibility and is about to die when Riley Citrus comes in the room and when she hugs her father, she discovers he is a robot as he falls down and rusts. She screams and helps Pam and Becky escape. Because RC has spent time out of her age preserver she turns 1008 years old (her real age) and dies. Pam and Becky reconcile and sneak through the back door of a crowded stadium where screaming fans are waiting for Riley. Pam and Bob Marley come on stage with the rest of "Who's The Beatle Queen" and Pam and Bob sing a duet of "Redemption Song." They captivate the audience who ask for another song. (something other than RC is a nice change) Then Pam sings the song she wrote herself and when she plays her guitar solo the people are officially liberated through her music and their chant of 'Who's The Beatle Queen!" resounds through the closing credits.
What about Adam? that's the one loose end I chose not to tie. It didn't seem worth it to me b/c I didn't want the love story to conflict with the plot but rather enhance it. some people will be PO'd but oh well. Can't wait to start filming once i've finished the script (already on page 38)
