Much has been written about Kathryn Bigelow\’s historic win as Best Director a few nights ago but I think it\’s also important to consider what this means for movies about war.
Traditionally, films that take place during a war have done well in the annual Oscar race and it\’s interesting to think about how your film would work against a backdrop of a military conflict.
Who and what would your war movie script be about?
My story would be about a male soldier who saves a grandmother and daughter even though they are terrorists, and the three are then able to survive and have a new life together.
My friend, Daria Sommers, made a documentary called Lioness that explored the effects of combat on female marines.
If your story doesn\’t have the Mythic-quality you think it needs, or just doesn\’t \”pop\” like you thought it would, adding a war or other external battle can often increase your plot\’s conflict and immediacy.

I would love to write a war movie.
I am pretty sure it would be about collonialism and how it swept over many lands and destroyed the diversity of so many cultures. Without giving too many details away, my protaginist would be young female who comes from an old aristocratic family but they are bankrupt; the enemy had taken over their land and riches. However, she is beautiful and her beauty is her dowry into a very good marriage. Of course she must marry her enemy. She is not happy in this marriage; however, out of lack of personal happiness, she ends up fighting for the people of her land.
