Directed, written and performed by Josh Radnor, better known as the insufferable and sentimental architect Ted Mosby the popular series How I Met Your Mother , comes Happythankyoumoreplease (all close together to see that there is a concept behind ), another popular film genre that makes indie girls and boys sigh opportunistic fuck, I'll call independent romantic comedy mold ( CRIM). Amazing is the similarity between the careers of Radnor and Zach Braff, actor series Scrubs who also took on the task of leading megalomaniac, writing and starring in Garden State his own CRIM with Natalie Portman. However, despite these similarities, the product of Braff is far more valuable than that of Radnor, first because at that time there were so many CRIM and secondly because it is simply better storytelling, theatrical and visually.
ingredients to make a CRIM are very simple. First of all should get unknown actors or low profile, having an image formed by hipsters guys previous work, interesting, depressing or funny (in the pathetic sense of the word). Once the deal is made time to define the characters. In the lead role has to be obviously the most indie kid and interesting of all, coupled with a social role that is equally interesting, leaving us with the options of: musician, unemployed, writer or architect. However, the main character can not be successful in any way, as will the entire movie trying to overcome your fear of success, his chronic depression or writers block, a situation which incidentally falls in love with the girl of his dreams.
The second ingredient as you might have guessed is the girl. Do not forget that the girl can not be any more intelligent, or more prepared no more successful than our main character, because we're indies but continue with the same social stereotypes of a lifetime. However, what if that woman must have is the mysterious beauty enough character to make the difficult and troubled during the last hour and a half the CRIM.
If you already have achieved these two key elements else is even simpler. First you must design something that couples to the aforementioned groups, preferably a ridiculous misunderstanding, that in spite of challenging the logic of the spectators, is credible enough to not cause too many laughs that will remove the impact "Message" you want to convey the artist. For Radnor film this event will be Ted Mosby furtive encounter with a lost child, who for one reason or another can not lead to the police and ends up living with him, giving a necessary "life lesson."
Congratulations, if you have made all this and have the thread of his CRIM , now I just need to fill it with some extra characters, with secondary problems of love and personalities that go a little bit different , not forgetting to sprinkle all these stories with a little dust hipster for best results.
The finale of the CRIM comes with the soundtrack, so I have to consult the friend who made this CD with songs from Cornelius and Dinosaur Jr . for advising on good music accompanying shots of flowers, cars moving, melancholy faces and rain to be incorporated into the story.
As always the final are open, since in the CRIM allowed conclusions are not entirely happy, so you can get crazy with the creative freedom given point. Once this last step and have created your first CRIM , just do not expect me to pay a movie ticket to see it.
