So is Luke too famous? Is that why he has to disappear to nature? Or is he just like a regular guy who has had enough of the monotony, enough of the organized hoarding that is everyday life? Maybe show a few shots of him doing dishes, folding laundry, paying his taxes, shit that just makes a regular guy want to run screaming into the woods.
I like the idea of him trading down in a reverse paperclip kinda way. giving his flat screen tv to a bum for half a sandwich (turkey sandwich, with south african spices maybe? ps what are south african spices?)
I also like the idea of him coming out of the woods into san fran, but he should be changed in some way when he does. Maybe he's wearing like a cave man outfit? Space suit? Something to really set him apart from the people on the street, like he's come out of the woods a changed man. Even though he hasn't found what he's looking for yet, he's got a different VIEW of them now that he's gone through his woods transformation.
I think Luke has had enough of the good life- the pools, the girls, etc. and wants to bring it down.
ReplyDeleteOne new idea is that he goes into the woods with a whole bunch of stuff, and then loses it piece by piece like in Where's Waldo? Also, this allows for someone to follow after him like Hansel and Gretel's breadcrumbs, but I don't know who follows. I also think maybe he's following someone too. He sees a cooler, more hood, rap version of himself in the woods and is chasing after that image.
And then he sees the city- weathered, dirty, but he says "Let's do it again." - myth of Sissyphus
