Sooo the books are here

-
So I bought the books I said I'd read by august, but they only now arrived lol.
I guess it's a challenge for september then.

I began reading Remaking Manhood by Mark Greene, and it is already quite interesting. I was personally born in a family that does not stereotype gender roles: my sibilings and I were brought up equally, yet as soon as I began school I began feeling that abyss of difference between males and females.
Point is, this book is a nice place to begin reflecting about gender roles, and how the way that men are brought up affects greatly their whole lives and society itself in a very negative way. 

Of course, I can't say anything yet about it as I haven't finished it, but it's nice for now. It's not exactly extremely detailed, as it is a collection of articles, in particular written for the Good Men Project.

I'll give a complete comment as soon as I end :)

The Three of Us (full screenplay.)

-
 Basically, this is the screenplay I've been working on. I edited it here on the blogger page as much as I could lol. It's about three kids, Harlow, Nathan and Roman, who have to play together some songs at the end-of-year concert of the music school they all go to. Honestly, I'd rather direct than write. I hope to find some artists and animators soon :). The Three of Us - An animated short movie SCREENPLAY BY rainmaker INT HARLOW’S ROOM - EVENING The atmosphere is cold and grey; the imperfect order of everything is something to make you go crazy. A small bird passes near the window, it then lays on a tree outside.  Harlow sits on her bed staring into space, bored; she’s been like this for quite a bit of time. INT HARLOW’S ROOM - NIGHT It’s yet another bad day, Harlow’s on the bed in a different position staring around dead annoyed, sadly. The bed is unmade this time, the room even more messy.  Some clothes are scatted around, books piled up on the floor, some torn pieces...

Triangle Dynasty - the story

-
Triangle Dynasty (I have yet to find a nicer name unfortunately) is a story of adventure, magic and friendship. I can't seem to be able to find a story that I actually like and is written in a genuine way, void of stereotypes, excessively dramatic scenes or repetitive scenes, so I might as well write it myself. The narration rotates around a young man named Amyas, whom, because of his cousin Aren, runs away from his home upon getting exhausted of the way they are treated. In a universe made from a constellation of planets, Amyas and Aren live an Odissey researching a way to change the way magic works. This is how they meet Eclypse, a short girl with a bad case of memory loss, Jupiter, North, and many more people that will help and guide them. Amyas desires a world where the cruelty he was always shown doesn't continue. Aren wants to be safe, and for her cousin to be as well. Eclypse needs her memories back. Jupiter has to understand her place in the universe. North just wants p...

Roman

-
 This is part of the script I'm writing (more or less). ROMAN - DESCRIPTION There is no exact way the two of them could ever explain what Roman was. Roman was dumb, and very much conscious of it. Roman was often materialistic, and sometimes he was a lot of a jerk. Roman got angry really easy, many things pissed him off. Roman was sweet as candy. Roman had very few close friends he acted gently around. Roman took great care of his friends. Roman was really weird sometimes. Roman was really sad sometimes. Roman had a monster of terror and desperation and apathy and anger that constantly followed him around and that he couldn’t seem to be able to get rid of. Roman couldn’t care less of his own feelings. Roman constantly tried to be better for others. Roman was free only around Nathan and Harlow. And Nathan and Harlow could never understand all that, and perhaps that was good. Still, when he went this quiet,it meant something bad: bad thoughts and bad decisions alike. Roman suddenly di...
