Hypothetical movie making

Go to CruxDreams.com

Boyo boy

Magistrate
Let’s say you were give a Sizeable sum of Money to make your own Crux movie with. How would you film it? What kind of cross would you use? What sort of actor/actress? Costumes? What would the setting be? Would you have dialogue or no spoken words? How would you shoot it?
 
Well I would film the story I wrote, “The Object Lesson”. Tau or T cross, modern, unfair judicial punishment of a largely innocent petite woman. She would narrate her thoughts with dialogue from the characters. It would be shot as the TV cameras saw her for most but with her POV for key scenes.

I will read that later. That sounds interesting. Which key scenes would have POV

Hmm... interesting. I did speculate about a filmmaking career when I was younger...

If I really do have a load of money, I might go for something like the Chronicles of Jasmine or whatever it's called, with plenty of cruxings and other punishments born from an injustice. Since I'm kind of a softy, the film would end with the injustice corrected, solved by our heroine from the cross. Final scene would see the antagonist adorning one - the protagonist might last just long enough to greet them, or might watch from a litter after being cut down.
 
I would do a movie of Epic proportions....
The tale of a captured enslaved Christian girl,who suffers brutally at the hands of Rome,(together with other beauties,and blokes...) .
There's TONS of nudity and sexual abuse,they are attacked by marauding Romans,sold as Slaves,our heroine tries to escape being a housemaid,(after a rape too many),only to find herself rowing a pleasure galley, chained naked,except for her loincloth,sweatily suffering the whips and lewd attention of her lesbian colleagues,also the male overseers.
Every sexual practice imaginable....in graphic detail. No humiliation spared.
Sadly she ends up,(after a murder betrayal most unfair) being condemned to crucifixion,(together with others) as part of the brutal entertainment,in the Arena....again,more graphic rape and nudity....
In all a good old gory,bloody Roman romp.....tits and cocks galore.
Shame they don't make films like that,nowadays... :(

So the focus is the story and not the crux, the cruxes are just part of the story. Nice. I’d like to see that could be interesting actually.

I will nominate both of these exciting action films for best picture in the coming 2020 Cruxforums Academy Awards competition, brought to you under the sponsorship of NailusMartyrs, Ltd.
 
I suppose I will contribute.

I would set my film in antiquity and cover the story of three young ladies who “bond” over the course of their executions. They are caught up in things outside of their control, end up in the wrong place at the wrong time and are crucified. Over the course of the film they would fight but eventually come to terms with this. We would have a leading lady with an internal monologue voiceover for some parts but mainly keep the film to being unspoken or through dialogue.

The leading lady would be a beautiful petite girl, and the only one to be whipped. The other two must watch. She wouldn’t be whipped terribly but still strongly. Nothing brutal. They then carry their crosses out of the city, into their final hill. The leading lasys cross is a lowercase t shaped about 13 feet tall. She will be laid upon it, roped around the wrists, then nailed in the hands and feet. One of the supporting characters would be tied to the cross with their arms going over and behind the bar, and another hanging like normal but with her feet tied to the side. The leading lady’s loins would be draped in the finest linen. The lady with her arms behind the bar would be loinclothed, but the other naked.
I am not sure how I would shoot and frame it all but that is the story gist. It is simple but I know what I like. Nothing too complicated
 
This is something I've thought a lot about. Not just the crucifixion, but the rest of the story that leads up to it. Questions like how to shoot it, where to shoot it, and who's willing to be in it. Practically, I've thought about, if I ever got enough internet popularity, how much could I get from a kickstarter campaign to make the movie I want, and how to sell the concept to potential patrons. It will requite a lot of looking into local employment and filming laws and trying to know as many people that are willing to participate as possible.

I really like Spaghetti Westerns, where you hear every sound, every creak of metal and swing of a hinge, and when the actors speak, they only say what's necessary, and we show emotions with close ups of their expressions. Everything is going to be covered in dust, all the girls are going to have dirty faces and mud caked onto their naked bodies, and all the costumes are going to be buried in the ground for 10 days before being dug up and hand washed, so they look worn. Location would be in the Nevada desert, because I assume Nevada has a lot of more relaxed laws about shooting "Pornography", although if I had access to the old hammer sets or wherever Red Feline shot "Malificarum" I'd love to use those. The desert would likely serve for the crucifixion seen, with 4-6 days of set up, and hopefully no more than 2-3 days of shooting. To prevent anyone from getting heatstroke, Most filming will be done before sunrise and after sunset. I think there's a kind of basin somewhere in that desert where you can keep tourist from accidentally wandering over.

Main concern for me. My pop is an Ex-hippie, but he's also a workers comp lawyer. He'd probably be ashamed of me for participating in a production like this, but I think he might disown me if someone got injured during filming. so safety is Key. Cross has got to be sanded splinter free, hopefully can cut a deal for premium French wood, and maybe have it painted to look rougher than it is. Our heroine needs a secure platform for her feet, and she'll need a special failsafe way to release herself from the cross is case of emergencies.

One thing that I'd love to have is an army of extras. You've got to feel our heroines loneliness and isolation, and I think a diverse crowd of onlookers. That might get expensive, and into legal trouble, but it's all theoretical.

Thank you @Boyo boy ! This has been some of the most fun I've had in five months
 
Any good film needs a thrilling chase, we girls may be runaway slaves, there can be lots of wild action in dramatic landscapes before we're finally caught, rounded up, raped and brought under the whip back to face our punishment. Then there's a long, slow build-up of tension as we're questioned, one by one, under prolonged, agonising torture, long nights of waiting in foul dungeons, frequent abuse and humiliation. And all of that's just the prelude to our scourging, parade of death, nailing onto crosses of various kinds in some conspicuous place, overlooking the highway. The final scenes show many different aspects of the agony of the cross - our stretched, struggling bodies streaming with sweat, close-up details of the cornu and what it does in our bodies, our slow, enforced dancing, our despairing expression, taut with pain, our thirst and the cruel ways we're taunted and what we're forced to drink, the ways we're kept awake and conscious with additional torments, the heat of the day, the biting insects, the circling vultures, the pecking crows, the gasping, twitching bodies, still living, still feeling pain, on the third day ...

(Sorry, not sure how to shrink this)
 
Anyway we'll have to decide on genre and direction first!

Like we could do a straight up Cruxploitation flick.

Or we could do something that weaves the crux into a plot full of substance and character.

The people who are into the fetish will find it rewarding nevertheless,
people who are turned off by it can just sort of fast forward through those scenes
... but a larger group in the middle will for the first time be confronted with crux-positive storytelling on the screen!

The best 'bang for the buck' in terms of influencing popular culture might be had from a long running serial production,
that will capture viewers with believable settings, relatable characters and engaging plots ...
the musical score, camera work, and dramaturgy will all subtly collude to make the crux scenes emotional highpoints ...
... slowly conditioning the viewership towards a crux-positive mentality ;)

A lot of controversy, media attention and meme-craft will be fueled by 'leaked scenes' or supposedly deleted ones getting released ...
... the kind of accidents that are likely to be deliberate ...
... are they doing it for real, they'll ask ... method acting!?!

... especially when actresses suddenly disappear,
only to come back to media attention some time later, but with an abrupt change of dress style,
that will be much remarked upon by the yellow press...
...when once they presented themselves in revealing outfits,
now it's high necklines, gloves, boots,

as if they had something to hide with regards to their backs, breasts, wrists, and feet
Do they,
is it lash marks and rope burns,
or something more?
They do seem to go back to normal after a while... usually...
How do they get away with it, the producer and director team,
Scandal and controversy!

When my ship comes in I see I'll have to go into the movie business! :)

But you're right, a movie of Jasmine would be nice. Who knows, one day we might have software that enables the practical creation of a CGI movie with a soundtrack in a home environment. Bartnel's got the graphics side sorted... but he'll tell you it's a ton of work and you need a very sturdy computer, and there's a limit to the number of moving elements the software can cope with.
