Q&A: which movie story is better?
Question by Vijay B: which movie story is better?
We have to make a movie based on math so here are two stories I have.
Dr. Sui is a highly gifted mathematician who is in love with the butterfly theory which states how changes in an initial condition of an object can produce randm disastorous results. Bill who is an innocent man works as a software engineer and isa typical middle class man. To show the power of the butterfly theory, Dr. Sui shoots Bill. Bill luckily escaping tries to track the killer but fails to do so. Going home, he slowly lays in bed nursing his wound. Needing more bandages, Bill walks over to his car and to his horror imagines seeing Dr. Sui thought he is just an innocent civilian and accidentally punches him. The person he punched is actually part of a huge gang. With a huge gang chasing him and him chasing Dr. Sui, the thrill is about who gets who. The initial condition(Dr. Sui shooting bill) had produced some randomized disastorous results. This is chaos theory so how is it?
Bill goes to Trintiy High School and constantly fails math classes as he fails to find the use of math outside of school. His math teacher, Mr. Sui, feels that Bill has the potential to be the best but never tries which results in him failing. Mr. Sui thus has a negative view on Bill for not trying. Oneday when going home, Bill finds a huge blood smear on the wall, and not knowing wat to do goes to Mr.Sui’s house who lives nearby. Mr.Sui comes back and uses trajectory math to find out that someone shot his sister forcibly and the speed of the gun was enough to kill her. Receving a phone call, Mr.Sui finds out how Bill’s sister is trapped in some killer’s house and is going to die slowly through a machine which pumps 100 gallons of water per second. After using calculus, Mr. Sui figures out that they have 5 minutes before his sister dies. The rest of the film is about how they rescue his sister through the use of math. The reason why I choose this is cause I want the movie to be entertaining and at the same time show the practical uses of math.. so how is it?
Also in the highschool we will make it like a class setting with a bit of comedy also.

I vote #2. It’s a bit more original as the butterfly has already been done. It’ll also be easier to make as it doesn’t involve substantial scenes and a cast.
