- The light fades, hard white light, and finally the film begins.
- He walks towards the old white house that is surrounded by a green lawn
- and a frame of red roses. Blue sky, hot sun and not a single cloud. He
- hesitates by the dark wooden door. Then he reaches for the bell and rocks
- the small rope beneath it.
- The door opens and a beautiful young girl appears. Her name is Julia.
- She examines the well-dressed boy in front of her, who carries a red rose
- in his hand. She is just about to ask why he is here, when he suddenly
- turns around and runs away. He drops the rose on the lawn right before he
- jumps over the hedge and disappears down the hot street.
- End of reel.
- The man in the red sofa sighed.
- "Not good, not good at all..." he mumbled. "Worthless, actually."
- This part of the film had to be edited. Back to the tight dark room
- right next to the movie theater.
- He placed the reel into the machine and played it again - frame by frame.
- towards-the-old-white-house...
- So far, so good. He knew when he should cut.
- suddenly-turned-around-and-ran-away...
- Cut!
- Stupid part. He removed the sequence from the film and threw it into the
- thrashcan beneath the table. While leaning back into the uncomfortable
- chair, he thought for a while while sucking on his pipe. After a few
- minutes he knew what he wanted.
- The light fades, hard white light, and the films begins.
- "Hi sweetie, I am John. You might remember me. We go to the same
- school."
- The girl next to the dark wooden door looked at him with cheerful eyes.
- "Yes," she said with a happy voice. "I do remember you!"
- Short moment of comfortable silence. "What are you doing here, John?"
- He did not answer her question. With a steady hand, he gave her the red
- rose. "For you."
- "For me?"
- He smiled and nodded. She took it and looked confused, but still happy.
- "Oh, sorry!" she said. "Please, come in."
- End of reel.
- Excellent! Perfect! He slapped the hand on his knee and did thumbs up
- to the screen that now only presented hard white light.
- Back to the dark room. This time he grabbed reel nineteen eighty-six.
- The film begins.
- Holding hands, Julia and John walking down a rainy street. People who
- cover their heads run past them and into taxis and shelter. But the two of
- them just walk there. The rain does not bother them. Their love is stronger
- than ever, something that may have to do with the fact that they just
- injected a dose of heroine into their veins. Someone...
- Cut! For christ sake, cut!
- The words echoed in the small movie theater. White light.
- He replaced the rain with a sun. No drugs, just love. The final version
- showed two young happy people who walked on a happy street, hand in hand,
- on their way to the beach.
- The beach? No. Did not work. Not in the middle of a city. He thought
- again.
- on-their-way-to-the-ice-cream-man...
- Much better.
- "What now?" he said to himself and let his eyes wander through the huge
- collection of reels.
- "1972. Birth and childhood."
- "1989. Education at West High."
- Finally he saw what he wanted.
- "1999. Marriage."
- He placed the reel into the projector, turned it on and quickly ran down
- the stairs to his red sofa.
- The film begins.
- Completely drunk, John manages to say 'yes' to his bride. Then he turns
- to the priest. He looks like he is about to say something, but the only
- thing that occurs is that John vomits all over...
- Cut! Shit! Cut! Cut!
- When he was finished the white wedding was lovely. He began to feel
- satisfied with his work. But something was missing.
- "2030. Death."
- He trembled as the film began.
- John plays football with his son in the garden. A storm is closing in
- from the west.
- "Maybe we should go inside", John says but his son insists that they
- should play for five more minutes.
- John watches the dark clouds in the sky and ponders about their content.
- The answer is delivered to him at once. A flash of lightning emerges from
- the sky and strikes him. He dies. His son slowly walks towards him.
- Cut.
- "What a boring way to die...", the man in the red sofa muttered. "I have
- to change this."
- A few minutes later he discovered that the part could not be edited. It
- was against the rules. Death is absolute and cannot be changed. He tried
- over and over again but nothing happened.
- he dies-click
- he dies-click
- He was not able to edit this part. With a deep sigh, he played the film
- forward. He saw his son walk towards his dead body, scream and run inside
- to get Julia. She did not know what to do, so she called the police and an
- ambulance. But nothing could be done. He was dead and gone.
- "Gone to this place..." he said with a low voice.
- Then he played the film forward again. He saw his funeral. Depressing
- part, mostly because all of his friends were there at once and he could not
- speak to them.
- Forward.
- Julia dies and leaves their son alone in the world.
- Forward.
- Their son works in a bank.
- "What?" he screamed and looked at the small screen on the edit-machine.
- In a bank? Ridiculous! His son really deserved something better. He
- wanted to change the film into a version were his son works as a well-paid
- author, writing success-stories for a hungry mass. Impossible. Nothing
- after own death could be altered.
- He left the reel in the machine and pushed the fast forward button. He
- watched for hours and wondered why he had not done this before. He saw the
- world change, people being born and people who died. He saw continents
- move on the seven seas, bump into each other and form new countries. War,
- destruction, people being born, people dying, earth spinning. Stars in the
- sky disappear, appear, disappear.
- "This must surely be against the rules" he thought. But he kept on
- watching while increasing the speed on the fast forward.
- Earth died and so did the entire universe.
- End of reel. There was nothing more to see.
