Elisabeth commented on my recommendation for the brilliant film Protagonist that she disagrees with the premise of the movie. She cannot agree that that personality is fate, and that people can make changes in their situation and how they act, but not alter their overall character.
Her disagreement and the fact that I've been on an Idea Province kick lately reminded me of an old movie idea I had, which would be a counter-point to Protagonist.
It would open with a self-hating gay guy going to a straight conversion camp and coming out straight. And then for the rest of the movie, which has nothing to do with the opening, he's a woman-hungry straight sex fiend. This would show how people can make extreme changes and stick with them. Of course it would be totally absurd and would only help further Protagonist's point.
