I'm really trying to brainstorm here. I want to do a story that's really heartfelt and that has a true meaning and so I thought, what would be greater than making a film about something that's close to my heart and life - poverty and homelessness and so here's what I came up with, but I am not sure if this is a good enough story or not, so I decided to post it here to get some advice. Is this a good idea for a story?
This young hot shot guy, with this good paying job and who has everything going for himself, meets this woman one day - she's homeless with an eight-year old little girl and she applies for a job at the company this guy works for and this guy treats the woman like shit when he finds out she is homeless and when she comes to the interview in poor, ragged clothes and he refuses to give the woman the job and then in general, he treats poor people and homeless people he meets and sees on the streets, like - well, like shit, but then one day, the tables are turned and HE becomes the one who loses his job, his condo. He turns to extreme alcohol abuse and it results in him losing his child to the state and he loses all his money and HE becomes what that woman coming for the interview was - homeless and when it all hits him emotionally, what he's going through, he coincidentally seeks help to get out of his homelessness and to get his child back, from the same poor, homeless woman he refused the job to - who is now no longer homeless but is doing well with a great paying job, etc.
It's basically a story of: be careful of how you treat the poor, for it might turn that you become just like them. Kinda like that Phil Collins song about homelessness "Another Day In Paradise" about thinking twice before treating the homeless cruel and turning them away, because one day, you could end up in their shoes. I think it's a story plot with a good moralistic lesson and it resonates greatly because there is a HUGE number of homelessness in America, so I read - and on how they're treated, etc....Such is the case with this guy, Ronald Davis, who is homeless and gets treated like crap from everyone...and people don't realize that they could be in Ronald's same shoes - position, so that's also where I got my motivation for my story, so to conclude, is this a good story idea for a film?
