You can find this on the original Hemingway thread on page 78.


Quote:
Decided to have fun with this and transcribe the plot of famous movies into Hemingway Sentences. :)

PM me your guesses on what they are.

Mere Survival woke a sleeping Monster.
==============
Against Monsters, we built our own.
==============
Turned Monster, her bravery freed us.
==============
To Know thyself, We fled society. (Similar to another dystopian plot.)
==============
We raised Dragons, to fight Dragons.
==============
In that Moment, we returned Home.
==============
Though Frozen, our hearts came together
==============
We were tested and proven faithful. (Think very recent)
==============
Our young children, trained for genocide
==============
The Matrix consumed all but One.
==============
From Pride, One king rose again.
==============
From Shadows, nocturnal Nightmares took flight.
==============
In daylight, the killers were made known.
==============
They gallivanted on pearls of death
==============
White city burning while he dines.
==============
In shadows, dangerous games are played.
==============
The Holocaust deterred not this man.
==============
Nor tricksters pawns, their united front
==============
Invalid, to Invincible; the Citizen Soldier
==============
Bears his claws, the mutant gene
==============
Drives the cause, the miserable resistance
==============
Cleans the walls, The white EVE
==============
Sings o'er hills, music's sweet sound
==============
Tells her story, on banks redeemed
==============
Tales ever told, His Greatest Story
==============
Taken from Gods, the Cast-away Thief
==============
ends the never ending story of old
==============
London's King, the folly of Chris (Looking at you Varon :) )
==============
Told the tale, of Patton's aim
==============
To end this thread and end the game. (not a movie. Disregard this ending)





It's really done, by the way....

Honest, that's it.

SO!, if you think you know all of these Movie titles, Pm me and see how Genre savvy you are.

(And yes, if you read this as a full poem instead of Hemingway gone mad, it does kind of make sense. ;) Good luck!!! )

Oooh, this is neat. :D I think I recognized a few. Some of them are five or seven words.

Now I want to find out how to Hemingway my novels...

All resemblance to persons, people, friends, relatives, quotes, cultures, artificial intelligences, inside jokes, pets, unclaimed personalities, sentient objects, extra-terrestrials, inter-terrestrials, and draperies living, dead, undead, or comatose in any of my work are purely coincidental, incidental, circumstantial, inadvertent, unplanned, unforeseen, and unintentional. There's seriously no way I was referring to you. Honest.

The story so far:
Birthright: Eleventh chapter pending. 28280 words.
Heritage: First chapter drafted.
Legacy: Character and plot development stage.

I don't know very many of these.... This is a cool idea, though. 0.o

'We raised Dragons, to fight Dragons.' is How To Train Your Dragon?

'Though Frozen, our hearts came together' is probably Frozen, right?

'Our young children, trained for genocide' maybe the hunger games?

'The Matrix consumed all but One.' I'm guessing 'The Matrix'.

'Invalid, to Invincible; the Citizen Soldier' Some movie about Captain America, I'm thinking.

'Sings o'er hills, music's sweet sound' is The Sound of Music, I guess? :D
