Soundtrack for my movie

This song will play during the first "montage" of various seductive role play scenes (vampire, leia and fantasy creatures, fading out as the scene I posted last week comes on.)

this song will play when they're flying to China together. Bee will be staring out the window. Alex will try to hold her hand and she'll pull away. flash to scene of Bee imagining the protagonist of her novel on some sort of adventure.)

an excerpt of this song will play briefly as they storm china. most scenes that take place in china will be quiet and dedicated fully to dialogue.

this is the theme for A's imagined character development of the protagonist (both A and B will develop the character in different ways...and I'll show this by having pensive shots of both...writing... with fading into different plot developments for their protagonist. the protagonist will wear two separate costumes and be doing distinctly different things in these imagined scenes. no dialogue for these imagined scenes either.)

(this is B's theme for her imagined adventures of the protagonist)

this is the song that'll be playing after A has abandoned Bee to complete the end of the novel. She has given him full rights  to the beginning which she wrote on her own. In other words, he chooses art over love. She has been able to juggle to two simultaneously the whole time- but in the end, as it comes down to it, she chooses love over her art. She believes that he has never loved her- but instead he has loved the ideal of her and has loved himself because he is dating an artist. she is his edie sedgewick. Ironically, in the last scene, he has just completed the novel and finds himself incredibly alone. so he hangs himself. this is the song that plays as a shot of his body is played- as well as the scene of a chinese person breaking down his door, finding him swinging over a grubby manuscript. flash to manuscript. the final page says THE END.

this song plays softly in the background as there is a flash forward to the final scene of the movie. Bee is getting ready for a fancy fashion event. she is rich because from his book royalties. her son helps her get dressed. the mother and son have a very lovely relationship, but the bee is obviously lonely. The boy shows early signs of artistic talents and a tendency towards reclusive-ness. (this scene is included at the end of the post.)

this song plays during the final credits. the son dances with his mother's stockings on during the credits. the names flash in front of him.

HERE IS THE FINAL SCENE WITH BEE AND HER SON (there are many other scenes that I have not posted on this blog, though the first scene was posted about a week ago:)

(woman is petite brunette and in her early thirties. very glamorous. Boy is about 7. brunette.)

Bee: (to boy) This is Chanel Haute Couture. Do you know what that means, love?  It means that 30 spindly fingered French grammies suffered for weeks so this draping would be just so, the beading, alluring and complimentary- but not over the top, etc. DO you see this weave texture (pinches fabric at top of bodice.) this material was first used to clothe the newly emerged modern working woman during world war 2. The men were away dying, so the woman took up the industrial mantel clothed in chanel's suits and beautiful smart hats. Genius. 

Boy: how'd you get it mami?

Bee:  I have an event tonight. at the Met. 

Boy: whats the Met? 

Bee: Its a costume gala, dear. A celebration of clothes. I was loaned this beautiful thing. I wish you could be my date. All of the prattle is so endlessly dull. Who vomited after one glass of Champagne. Who is wearing a piece from last season. who is with who. who has how much of this or that. But the real joy of it is to gawk plainly and simply at marvelous creations worn by radiant swans, black hearted they may be. Its like a bestiary of fabulous. (looks at clock on wall) Come Emo, help me pick out my corsage and jewelry (indicates 5 trays filled with jewelry and corsage options.) Oh! Smell these roses! (she holds a dark pink rose corsage to her nose. then holds it out to emo who bows his head towards them as though praying to something.)

Boy: I like that one (points at Gardenia and pearl corsage fixture.) or that one (points at white lilies.)

Bee: Not the dark roses, Emo? They're my favorite. (looks sad for a second.) Your father never knew that. 

Boy: Did he ever buy you flowers?

Bee: Before.....well...before...anyways...he stopped. I stopped occurring to him. 

Boy: How did you stop occurring to him?

Bee: His brain became an occurrence for a different planet. There is no room for love once that begins to happen.

Boy: The roses are beautiful Mami. You are beautiful. But I thought you should wear no color. (points at the gardenia corsage) like in the weave? (holds up the corsage to his mother's bodice.) Its simplicity. 

Bee: Yes... yes. You are right. Gardenia's and pearls then. for simplicity. (she pauses to fix another gardenia piece into her hair and slips the corsage around her wrist. She holds up massive diamond earrings to her ears.) Too much?

Emo: just enough mami.

Bee: Emo? What are you doing? (looks at him inquisitively...and pauses to think for a quick second.) you know thats the wrong way to put on stockings...(holds out her arms to him) here. let me show you.

(he has black stockings around his ankles and hops over to her. SHe grabs him and seats him on her lap, tenderly inching one stocking leg up his leg, followed by the other.)

Emo; feels good....soo silky...mmmm... (he sighs contentedly...happy to be in her arms.) (he is wearing a sloppy white shirt tucked into the black stockings.)

Bee: I know, doesn't it? Hey little man, get me the shoes I have laid out over there, will you?  (he runs to fetch them. she continues to sit. contemplating.)

Emo: mami, do you want me to take these off for you? (indicates stockings)

Bee: no, no, keep them if you like...I’m going bare legged tonight (points toe and bare leg out in front of her. grins wickedly.) what do you think?

(Boy laughs. he trots over with massive black glittering stilettos on his feet, slips them off, and hands them to her.)

Bee: Thank you lovely, I'll miss you little man. I promise, I'll take you next year. You're just one year too young. and I'll bring back pictures of the best couture. Are you sure you're ok by yourself?

Emo: Mami...I hate babysitters. its better this way. Don''t feel guilty. 

Bee: Ok Emo, but the alarm is on. don't go outside.
