On the brink of World War II a patriotic boy is ready to die for his Poland. Blitzed the Nazi tyranny conscripts him into the German army, the struggle becomes a quest for survival.

As much as we must strive to make perfect loglines . The bottom line is connecting with the industry until someone sees its potential. And it's no secret that is the biggest hurdle for any unproduced writer.

The log line for "The Pianist" is: A Polish Jewish musician struggles to survive the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto during World War II.

Yes, the industry prefers strong characters who can take charge of their fate and so the audience is served extensively. I developed my story from the view of the ordinary guy, his knowledge and culture of that time, and not to forget his Catholicism. Over and over I hear in the industry "give us the same, but different." But when a writer delivers as such, the risks are too high, the story does bad in in a computer analysis.

Platoon, Apocalypse Now, The Tin Drum, Slaughterhouse Five, The Deer Hunter, The Pianist to name a few had an enormous impact showing war differently.

I personally think the audience goes to a war movie to "feel" what it was like in those days. Experience the brutality, misery, death, as the iconic Saving Private Ryan does so well in the D-Day attack. That "feel" is even more strong with a common protagonist we can identify with because he represents the majority of us. Although we admire the hero, we also know we could never be like him, we can just look up to him. That creates a different experience of the war "feel." The audience understands historical conflicts are not myths. My next project is set in the future. With superheroes.

Thanks for contributing fellow writers. I redefined the protagonist's goal as "freedom." To be continued.
