#55: You can “Quantum Leap” into any film or film character. What movie would you leap into and what would you do?
Moral dilemmas drove the story last week and we discovered that Nicholas Cage is hard to beat. This week let’s get metaphysical about changing the course of movies that need it:
You can “Quantum Leap” into any film or film character. What movie would you leap into and what would you do?
[Note: Quantum Leap was a 90s T.V. show where the main character would transport into figures in order to put right what once went wrong in their lives.]
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Friday night wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Saturday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.
Fight it out.
Would you like to join the fight?
Know someone who’d like to join as well? Let them know about us. The more fighters the better. Discounted rates are available for groups of four or more…perhaps sign up your family and friends as a gift.
I'd leap into Neil in Dead Poets Society during the argument in his father's study where Neil is trying to convince him he wants to pursue acting; no tragic capitulation, no hopeless silence. I'd tell his father what's up with a smile, give mom a hug, and then head to the kitchen to make a turkey sandwich. If he continued to threaten military school I'd let him know how much West Point would appreciate my recitations of Henry V.
Romeo+Juliet, Baz Luhrmann version: I would quantum leap into Father Lawrence with the mission of letting Romeo in on the plan way earlier, and not leave the message-sending to anyone else.
