on the real, I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for the last week.
I haven't fleshed it out, so I don't know how the antagonist benefits from setting the plot in motion, besides the ramifications of the idea itself....
and I was thinking about a TV series instead of say... a trilogy of movies, because the idea has SO much potential for SO much fukkery and different stories from different angles....
but here's the idea:
New president is elected, right? Well, between his Inauguration and fist State of the Union Addresses, he proves to be rather mad villain-ish and borders on batshyt insane because of his ruthlessness when it comes to foreign relations, terrorist groups, uppity sand ******s, whatever.
But because of America is America, his approval rating is through the roof. Now, he turns his attention to the problems in America.
So, his 1st Address (the 1 year anniversary of his Inauguration) focuses on what he calls a "Revolutionary new law, and my reasoning behind it."
That law: "Once a year, in the 24 hours between July 4th 12:00 am and July 5th 12:00am, any and all US citizens are LEGALLY ALLOWED TO KILL ANY INDIVIDUAL OR GROUPS OF INDIVIDUALS YOU PLEASE."
All murders committed on Independence Day become null and void. Any murders committed before or after are immediately punishable by public torture by government police unto death. Martial Law is induced.
This, of course, whips the world at large into a frenzy. All eyes are on America as the day approaches, with many doubts at the seriousness of it all.
Until the murders start happening and nothing is done about it.
The President's reasoning for such a rule soon become apparent, though. Crime drops TREMENDOUSLY because of people's fear of the repercussions that will be handed out to them once July 4th rolls around. Petty theft, domestic violence, rape cases, gang violence... all crime drops because of the fear of Karma coming back legally.
The first year, it isn't that bad. More.... cautious, as very few people took up the offer, even though there were almost DAILY public executions broadcast on public and cable television of rule breakers.
The following years, though?
The following years would be hellacious.
The series of movies would focus on one person's life changing over the course of the Presidency due to the 24 hour/Independence Day/Please Someone Help Me Think Of A Cool and Ominous Name For This rule.
The spinoff TV shows would show shyt happening from various perspectives: Evil Men/abused women/abused children/cowards/psychotics/rich/poor/all walks of life, all stations of life.
What would it take for the everyday person to want to kill someone? How would you live knowing someone could kill you months from now based on how you've treated them?
What if you were simply the hunted? What if you KNEW someone wanted to kill you... and could get away with it?
The FIRST movie would deal with the sheer fukkery of the 2nd year. Just... a batshyt insane america.
SECOND movie would deal with the inevitable war between races and/orclasses, the rich vs the poor, cause you know it would happen the next year.
THIRD movie would deal with the war between People and The Government. It would prolly end with the protagonist/lead of all three movies (prolly Will Smith. lmao) assassinating the President so there wouldn't be another year of this shyt.
The TV series/spinoff would happen between the year leading up to the movie with a rotating cast of people.
you obviously haven't been keeping up with advances in CGI
If I wasn't a moral & honest person, Id take this shyt but, I am. Other people aren't though. So take that post down & write that shyt nikka
