From the novel Monster, we learn that Steve is writing his life out as a movie and claims his version to be the true version of what happened. As we continue to read we will see that Steve includes several flashbacks to when he was a child, or even a few weeks prior to the murder.
If your life was to be made into a movie, what events or memories would you like to include, and which actor would you want to play you in the movie? What would the movie be called? Explain.
ReplyDeleteIf my life was a movie I would want to include everything that makes me, me. To do that I would have to include good and bad. I would want to include childhood memories, family problems, friends, family. Basically everything that makes me the person that I am today. I think the actor that would play my part would be Kirsten Dunst. Not because she's my favourite actress but she seems like the kind of person that would be able to play the scenes of my life in a moveing but empowering way. My movie would be called; “ Chaotic mistakes, make valorous personalities” because my mistakes have made me stronger.
I defiantly agree, there are are many mistakes that can make up your personality. And that would be an amazing movie! I would defiantly watch it!
DeleteIf my life was screened as a movie, there are several memories that I would like to showcase in my movie. The movie would showcase my early childhood, as I grow up with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder) the movie would showcase my struggle to pay attention and staying in one place for long periods of time. Also, it would showcase my struggle to learn properly and make friends as a result of my ADHD. However, as you can tell, I have overcame this struggle to stay focused and stay in one place. so, if my life was screened as a movie it would showcase all of my struggles and the development in my life. Of course my childhood wasn’t just overcoming my ADHD, I also have very memorable memories that I would like to showcase. Such as, my first season of hockey and winning the playoffs, learning the clarinet and flute; And many more!
ReplyDeleteIn the movie boyhood there is one actor that is filmed across periods of time. the director shows him growing up and shows his challenges and memories that he goes through. I would want my movie to be very similar to this movie. As I would be filming someone for several years since the child that I am filming is very young. I would have to ask parents if I can feature their child in my films. I would want to chose children that remind me of me as at very young age.
my movie would be called “Everybody Needs A Helping Hand” because there are many people who helped me in overcoming my ADHD. And I wish that there was someway to thank them for all of the support that they gave me.
I really like your comment, I think your movie would be very interesting. I think your title would fit your movie very well, I also agree that everyone needs a helping hand.
DeleteThis seems like a movie I would definitely pay to see! I think it would be very interesting, and the title is perfect with the story. It is a beautiful way to thank for the support from people!
DeleteSeems like a good movie. Your life sounds like a movie. I would watch it. Luckily u came over your ADHD. Im happy for you.
DeleteIf my life was made into a movie, I think I would like to include flashbacks from when I was little, like the day when I got lost at the beach, and embarrassing moments of my life, because it would be very funny. Little things that don’t mean much but made me who I am. But mostly I think the main subject of the movie would be coming to Canada and my life in here. I think I would want to Miranda Cosgrove to play me, because I have already heard a lot of times that I look like her. The movie would probably be called “Cecilia” or something simple that is easy to identify.
ReplyDeleteThat would be an interesting movie! :)
Deletei would love to watch that movie
DeleteIf my life was made into a movie, it would be called "The secret life of Emilie." :). And I would want Maddie Ziegler to play me, she's around my age and she was born on my birthday. Some moments I would include: finding out I have Gorlin Syndrome, my baby sister being born, meeting my best friend in Kindergarten, winning a gold medal for curling (the sport) and probably some embarrassing things (to make it funny).
ReplyDeletethat would be a good movie to watch i would pay to watch it.
Deleteif my life was a movie i would make it a funny and realistic movie so that i would include things that make me me and some of the things i would include is how my life is at my home and what i do most of the time but some things that are embarrassing to me like when i fell over while running i would also add flashbacks and long shots,short shot and medium shots. i would also add in some good times like when i made my brother feel not scared any more because we were 1500 ft high or more that's all i would add. #movie maker
ReplyDeleteIf my life were a movie it would most likely be called: Being Me. It would go through my timeline so far, showing marks in my time such as birthdays and important memories to me. An important memory for me is when my grandfather passed away when I was around 11 or 12. I never knew him very well but he was family and it brought me closer to my dad's side of the family for a while. The actor I would want to play me would be Leonardo Dicaprio because he is good and almost any type of acting, like sad, funny and serious acting and he could finally get and oscar with the movie.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, sounds like something I would go watch.
DeleteThat would be a very good movie I would go to see it.
DeleteWould be a top seller, but not a movie I would go see.
DeleteIf my life was in a movie I think I would take moments that I cherish or found embarrassing about my birthdays. Now the reason why I chose birthdays is because almost every year something terrible would happen to me. The movie would be called "Birthday" and it would mark something that happened every birthday. It can be something amazing that happened or something that I never want to encounter again. Things that happened were falling down my stairs and spending a day at the hospital, getting strangled by a kite and a lot of more stories. I don't really know who would be a good actor for this but I think anybody who can relate to this can act this out.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very good movie.
DeleteI would watch it
DeleteIf my life was a movie I think I would call it "Story of Dylan". I believe I would call it that because the whole story is a story of my life so that title makes sense. The actor i would like to play as me in this movie would probably be Zach Galifianakis because he is very and i find my life quite funny. The moments I would probably include is my first day of school my first time riding a bike my first time ever being home alone and my first day of high school.
ReplyDeleteYour movie probably would be very funny
Deletei like your idea
DeleteIf my life was made into a movie like in the book monster I would call it "Growing up every day" and it would show me growing up and all my child memories.The actor that I would choose too be me, I don't really know but it can be anyone.How I would make the movie would be every birth day would be every movie so me being born to my first birthday would be one movie. So I would make 9 movies . In the movie it would mostly show me growing up and showing all my best memories that I had in that year.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a cool movie. Really like the title.
DeleteIf my life was a movie I would call it "Life of Julia." I chose that title because the movie is literally is about my life. The actor I would chose to be me is Kristen Stewart because she's one of my favorite actors and she's super famous so it would make my movie popular. I would include the most funniest, happiest, saddest, and most interesting moments in my life to put in the movie.
ReplyDeletethat sounds like a cool movie
DeleteIf my life was made into a movie, it would be called "Counting the good days", which would be on my best memories throughout my life. It would have scenes describing my birthdays, holidays, family times, and as you can tell by the title and details, it would be a movie of the good times in my life, and also might remind some people how fortunate they are to live the life they have and that some people don't share the same relation. The iconic role of the actor playing me will be me. Because who better to play your own life the best is yourself, and to really be able to act out your feelings and emotions the best.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good title
DeleteIf my life was turned into a movie it would be called `Evan` the actor that would play the role of me would be me because I don`t want anybody to like do the story of me. The moments I would put in are when I had to get stitches and surgery, when I had my finals game for soccer and for the last one I would put the first time in school I guess.
ReplyDeleteThat title is amazing and h=that a movie I would watch!! c:
DeleteIf I had a movie about my life I would call it "The people who try me" . In this movie about my amazing life , we'd explore my every day routines to the people who want to start drama with me. Here you guys would learn tips on how to be queen and how to make yourself scary enough so people dont want to be involved with you in a negative way.
ReplyDeletehahahah i would totally watch that movie
Deleteyes i love this.
DeleteI would probably show a lot of the fun stuff like my vacations like Myrtle Beach, Miami and other places. I would include birthdays because they are special for everyone. I would also include first days of school back from summer break because that brings out the nerves of everyone. I wouldn't include everyday of my life because that would be boring. I would include the important days of my life.
ReplyDeleteTitle would be "im great"
DeleteSounds like a GREAT movie. I would watch it because it wouldn't get boring bacause you would only include the fun parts of your life.
DeleteIf I had to make my life into a movie I would probably only show the more important or fun parts in my life. In my movie, I would show all my birthdays because birthdays in my opinion, birthdays are very important. I would also put in my summer vacations like the time that I went to Greece, Florida and Hawaii. I would put all of the important parts of my life like when I had my Bar Mitzvah or when I had to go to the hospital for my first surgery and lastly I would put bits and pieces of my daily routine and I wouldn’t want any famous actor to be me in my movie because I want viewers to feel the full effect in the movie about my life and the title that I have chosen for my movie is ‘This Is My Life’.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you have a nice life except for the injury's.
DeleteIf my life was made into a movie I would put the times when my sister and I literally stayed up all night to beat super mario bros all the levels including the secret 9th level. The actor to play me would be Ariana Grande because she is literally my idol :). The Movie would be called The Weird Adventures of Liana.

DeleteIf i were to make a movie about my life i would make it about the more exiting parts of my life, like sports, summer, vacations ect. One of the things that i would put in is when i made a high level hockey team or baseball team or when my team and I won a championship. I would like the actor that plays me to be kevin Hart 'cause he's really funny and i would call this movie "Jake's World".
ReplyDeletewow jake that's super cool!1!1!!!!
Deletegotta have the good times
DeleteIf I had to make a movie about my life I would do it about the time that I traveled all around Europe with my family. I would do it about that because that trip was really fun and we also got lost a few times which was kind of funny but scary at the same time. The person I would get to play me would be Cameron Diaz because she is such an amazing actress. I would name my movie “The Europe adventures”.
ReplyDeleteI personally don’t remember much from when I was a child except getting lost a lot, for example getting lost in Fairview or perhaps in Calgary (these did in fact happen). I was a big troublemaker as a child and over the years I started to dislike my family. As far as I remember I didn’t really enjoy doing anything but if I could write my life as a movie I would put in my last year of elementary school and the Stratford trip. I never really do anything interesting for myself and I always end up annoying someone in my family when I do. I honestly don’t know who I would put as an actor who would play “me” because I don’t really watch any movies.
ReplyDeleteIf my life were to be a movie I would try to fit everything i've accomplished, failed, tried. Every memorable, sad, painful, exciting and fun moment so the audience will actually get a feel about who I am. They will know what makes me... me. I would put things like me making my first friends me my birthdays so people will know how I "evolved" over the years. My trips with my family. Trips with my friends like the Boston trip. The first time my friends back stabbed me. The times where I was made fun of because of my skin color. The time I was made fun of because of my religion. When I failed grade 7 math. When i was accepted into IB. When we won gold in math olympics. EVERYTHING would be added. I would play me in the movie so it adds another sense of realism to the movie. I would name the movie “Must Move On” because life happens and you need to keep moving forward.
ReplyDeleteIf there was a movie about my life it would probably be about the more important parts of my life like friends and family. It would focus on the strength of those relationships with the people I'm closest with and the ups and downs that we went through in order to get to the point that we are at today. I would make it about that because that is a big part of my life. The actress that I would want to play me would probably be Jennifer Lawrence because I think that our personalities are alike in a couple of ways, and I would call the movie "Life of Lavergne".
ReplyDeleteI would like to make a movie about the time that me and my whole family went to my grandma’s farm house. I was 10 years old. Me, my 4 cousins and my brothers did a lot of things. It was January, middle of the summer, so we used to swim in the brook, pick up fruits from the orchard, ride horses, eat a lot of Brazilian barbecue, go to walks through the soybean planting, play with the dogs… Once we were going to the henhouse to pick up some eggs for my grandma and when I put my hand under the chicken, she flew over my head and I was so scared that I started screaming so all the chickens flew away from the henhouse and my cousins make fun of me until today because of this. A lot of things happened that summer, so I think that the film could be call “Big summer with big family”. I would like Abigail Breslin (when she was a child) to play me because I used to love her when I was a child.
ReplyDeleteIf my life was a movie I would include the part were I was first put into sport because sports are a very big part of my life. when I was growing up I always played sport. I think something else I would include would be my experience going into elementary school. I was such an awkward child in elementary school it was so funny. I was super shy kid and didn't really talk to anyone till like the 4th grade. Even after that I hadly talked to anyone. If I had to give my life a movie title it would probably be "That awkward moment" because I had a lot of those growing up. If I had to chose an actress to play me it would be Jennifer Lawrence because she is honestly exactly like me.
ReplyDeletethe name of the movie of my life would be called life of RYE. I would have will Ferrell as me and Jim Carrey as my dentist and Adam Sandler as my uncle. I would include the scene of me being born and the scene of me eating ice cream for the first time.
ReplyDeleteIf my life was a movie, I would like to include the everything that I undergo, all the secrets I have ,all the mistake I have done ,and of course, all the success I have made. I would have a big success and after that ,I will live in countryside that near sea.
ReplyDeleteI will call it" Imperfect Life"
