    Presence of Antagonist?

    If it is a good story with sharp dialogue, it could work. Any other, people might find it a snore fest. One idea is to make the camara his eyes and when he is seen. It is a shadow you see. Worked well with the 70's and 80's horror crowd. didn't even need Voice Over. Maybe could work.

    Does a flashback have to be from a character's point of view or no?

    Most cases flashback is use as a crutch, a cheap way to introduce exposition. Which most times doesn't move the film forward in turn make for a confuse movie goer. If you want to do the three points of view for your characters. Inter twine your story like Pulp Fiction andbring it to the end...

    Is this idea good or even original?

    Kazze its (the Other) from the 70's. Let's give Musicdudez some credit. it is hard to do something original without cliche'. I would make it into a psycho-thriller instead of drama. Cut to about 5 min of how strong their realationship was. The therepy comes in now. Tell the story from her...

    Does a flashback have to be from a character's point of view or no?

    As long as your script's story is moving forward is how your flashback will work for the story and not the character. Some ex... The Fugitive, Harrison Ford version and Slumdog Millionaire. Watch and see how the flashback or flashforwards work. The story moves forward.

    Movie idea

    I would make it into a black comedy. The two men get what they want from the government. The adopted children, boy and girl, are smart enough to cause trouble and or take it all away from the men who try to do the same to the government. A circle is made. It could work.

    Does a flashback have to be from a character's point of view or no?

    Do as most TV shows do for flashbacks. Start with near the end woman in peril, Detectives closing in. You don't have to involve the villians. Then flashback to how this came about to the ending point. later when villians are introduce, the one in moral conflict, could put as flashback on...

    Script Terminology

    To me depends on the content and situation of the same time. Movies like Pulp Fiction and Atom Egoyan's movies tends to fast forward or back on scenes as long as the storylines comes together in the end.

    Looking for a Director with ideas.

    I have written a screenplay on an murder-slasher-horror-satire. If you do one, it needs to be one of a kind instead of cliche' from older films. Which is hard to do. The Scream films comes to mind. I have many projects in mind and will take one step at a time to do them. I want to direct...
