Writing a Screenplay

[Travis Bickle]

Hey guys, I'm new to the site. I am writing a screenplay about loneliness. The protagonist is a 29 year old man, living in an apartment, on unemployment. He has no friends, and never really has. His mother still calls, but that only makes him feel more alone.

Sometimes I can feel pretty lonely, especially after I graduated and most of my friends moved away, or went to college.

I want to be a screenwriter, and this subject is interesting to me. I think true loneliness has never been captured on film better than in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver. (Note my username and avatar)

What I really want is some insight into the minds of the truly lonely. What goes through your mind when you see everyone else getting by so easy? What is it that you are searching for? Do you push people away? etc.

What does it FEEL like? What does a normal day in your life consist of?

I'd love to hear what you've got to say.

I can see why you're lonely.

haha,

dude be nice crow,

why do you need to ask us, use you can use your own feelings and emotions for your insight,

well what my days consist of, now or in highschool,

i don't really want to delve into that past,

but basically i wake up when my alarm goes off and i feel sad and ******* pissed that i have to get up at the ungodly hour of 10am ( gotta love college)

then i push the snooze buttion, one or two times, get out of bed with ten minutes to spare,

rush to change, put my hair in a pony tail,get deoderant fill up my waterbottle, turn off the heat and run to the bust stop, and i always have to run becuase the bus like's to get there early get on the bus and lament about how much i hate the bus go to class, try to pay attention during most of it, get lunch, then i read, study go online until i get dinner, then i read, study or go back online sometimes i play a little pool or once or twice a week if i feel up to it i go to the gym and i run or ride a bike machine while i read pften times I'll do a little bouldering and see if there's anyone around who'll belay me so i can do a little actual rock climbing

then i cme back home maybe read, watch tv go online or play the guitar, sleep

and that's the jist of it,

if you want feelings of lonlieness, or whatever

listen to evanescence's fallen

Id see her beautiful face everywhere I look. I hear her whistpers calling out my name everywhere I go. The place I go, the people I meet all reminds me of her. Three long cold winter had gone by.Sometimes I fall on my knees begging her to comeback to me. Since the day she left me Ive been in N out of life. Tears crash around me if I mention her name.

Dont ask why....Ive asked it a million times...
