oh, right, why didn't I notice that was you?
Well those students clearly didn't major in engineering.
But ya that's not a bad theme except I'd say that high school students should have done that, and, well, for me, its not really something new in anyway.
I mean you pretty much are trading your soul and life away by taking most (illegal)drugs, and that doesn't even include the price of buying the drugs in the first place.
However, your idea is more explicit than this. So, that idea of contemplating whether or not its worth it to sell your soul for drugs sounds like a good way to start a gospel/anti-drug video.
So, ya those are my thoughts. I am not saying that the idea for the film isn't good. In fact, it is quite good, given the average audience. The average audience would say, "hmm, OK this is a fake reality with its own rules and I'll put myself in this world to enjoy the film.
Others might say, "This is an extension of our reality and therefore isn't really interesting because this thing happens all the time."
I'd say that only at most 10% of people would look at it in the latter manner, and most of those 10% wouldn't even bother to begin to watch the film because it isn't in their preferred genre.
So, let me know what you think of that.
