working title: "unknowing"
concept:
story of a person from birth to death & their life struggles & accomplishments
this person for the longest time has no clue of who they are & their purpose in life
they have several noteable life & death events happen thruout their life
but they always make it thru them all
late in life the person figures out who they really are - a modern day 'savior' of the world of sorts, but real and with no magical powers
their only power is that of wielding creativity for purposes of goodness
the story becomes one of the inventions & innovations this person creates & provides the world
how these change the world for the better
the end of the movie is the key gotcha moment
when the person engineers their own miraculous death
when all of the featured life & death scenes get replayed
each now with a mysterious force of nature intervening to save the savior each time
not a God, but instead an incredible unlikely physical event
that saves the savior
assuring this person survives to deliver the things they do to help improve the world
so the viewer goes home with a sense that there really is a force in the universe that guarantees goodness will always defeat evil the world
