THRILLS OF POWER
© 28 Jul 2021
This Cinematic Poem echoes the personality distortion one faces after he gets powerful (expressed symbolically by the detail of the chair). "Nobody is immune to the shady thrills of Power" is visually explained by the genderless character. The blurred figure explains the visual and mental disturbances as side effects of power.

Poetic, metaphorical, and quite moving, this whimsical-beach-getaway script passes the Bechdel Test. The writer has done commendable, extensive research on song choices, indicating a clear understanding of how to match the highs of a scene with the highs of a song. This additional element gives the overall story more style, fleshing out its melodramatic atmosphere.
