More similar texts from movies

It appears that there are more films that are similar to mine. Below are some similar texts and convention:

Mercury Rising (1998):



similarities:

  • The FBI action man takes the (now) orphaned genius boy into custody, and they developed a father-son relationship.
  • The boy is able to crack codes and puzzles and a hidden genius.
  • Got neglected from society
  • Victor is not in a good stand with his colleagues in the detective firm and decided to take the case to himself as a private eye.

differences:

  • My characters are not against the government.
  • The boy in Mercury Rising has Autism, while Scott does not.
  • No assassins or agents are coming to get the boy in my film.



Safe (2012):




similarities:

  • The main protagonist is a Western action man - a fighter who loses his job and is depressed from losing his loved one, while the other main character is an Asian child with extraordinary ability to crack codes.
  • The two characters form a bond as the story continues on.

differences:

  • The antagonist is not aiming for the child in my film, it is only a one way cop and robber plot. However, if the film does goes on, there would be times where the boy gets warning from the murderer.
  • The antagonist in my film is a serial killer who only kill small girls, not international mafias.



Solace (2016):



similarities:

  • A psychic main character who has the ability to solve crime and an FBI agent - the action man
  • The main psychic character was asked to help solve the crime of a serial killer.
  • The serial killer is way ahead of the psychic character as he tries to do his best to catch up. (Although the serial killer in my film has no psychic powers, he is very smart and manipulative, being able to escape the police. And with the main characters have him at their hands, they could not find any back up evidence to charge him guilty.)

differences:

  • Solace's psychic character is an old man who had experienced life and knows how to control/use his powers. My psychic character is a young boy who had yet to know the extent of this extraordinary ability and is scared to use it.
  • The serial killer in Solace is also a psychic.
  • The boy in my film lives with the action man.
