A FLASHBACK TO TELL MY STORY?
Posted: Sep 11, 2011 9:49 am
Some guidance please...Anyone know of other screenplays that use the same type of storyline as "Forrest Gump"? I'm drawing a blank..
By same "type", I mean a story that begins in the past (which is my starting point, or "current day") and transitions to another point further in the past. The story begins toward the end, but we're "flashbacked" by our main character as he tells of how he "got to this current point". Does that make sense?
Here's my specific issue:
EXT. COLLESIUM OF ROME - DAY (AD 98)
Action blah, blah,
CHARACTER
dialog
EXT. GARDEN - DAY (AD 90)
Any help is appreciated. At least that's what I came up with. Fairly unique, so not many sripts to review...THANKS!
