If any Evanescence music video were to be made into a movie which one would you want? You could add a description of the plot and maybe actors, directors, genre of movie, etc...

My choice is without a doubt Lithium. I just love snow and the darkness of it the video. I think it would make a great emotional "deep" movie of some sort. My second choice would be Sweet Sacrifice. I think that could be a great psychological horror.

What about you?

For me, the best videos for a movie are those that would support an actual plot, not just thematic mumbo jumbo. By that logic, I can't see WYW, GU, or BMTL making good movies.... I voted Good Enough and CMWYS, but I also think MI and SS. I actually think GE and CMWYS could follow the same story and be combined to make one film with CMWYS providing the conflict and GE the conclusion... Basically an indie romance (usually a step above chick flicks, heh) film about a woman in love with an alcoholic who eventually finds her way to someone else that makes her feel *ding* good enough, hehehehehe.... With MI and SS, it's the same thing. I could see the two being combined into two sides of the same film. The character is a patient at a mental hospital, with MI being the calm exterior and SS being the turbulence underneath.

Everybody's Fool for me...it can tell the tale of a rising hollywood star who compromises to get her way to the top of either the film or music industry just to be destroyed in the end by it all

I chose BMTL and SS. I can envision them as some kind of psychological thriller. MHIB would work as some kind of dark adventure and CMWYS would be like a modern take on Red Riding Hood.

I actually thought of a lame story just now: Amy is a famous icon who is being manipulated, much like a puppet, to please the masses. However, she is ashamed of what she's become and overdoses in the bathtub. She suddenly finds herself waking in a dark room, the open window beckoning her. She must scale the building (which represents her fear and low self-esteem) in order to reach her goal. She successfully reaches the room, but instead of opening the window, she waits for someone to save her, too afraid of going through on her own. She falls off the ledge and wakes up in a different place, a scary maze she must escape. She realizes that she's a prisoner of her own fear as grotesque pictures of who she is now flash before her. Finally overcoming her fear she finds a way out, only to find a long table waiting for her. It's surrounded by wolves and her enemy sits at the opposite end. He represents everyone who had manipulated her. Mustering all her courage, she walks up to him and takes charge of who she is. With him out of the way, she finds herself in a study, a grand piano waiting for her. As she goes through the books in the bookshelves, she remembers her true passion and all the good things. She writes a promise to herself and buries it in the ground, before sitting at the piano and composing a song. Her fears, pain and struggle manifest into flames that engulf everything around her, but her new found will extinguishes them and she comes into terms with herself. She comes back to her senses in real life and springs out of the water, her outlook on life and herself completely changed.

Phew, that was long...

I thought the same thing...it makes the most sense plotwise as a film.

I like the idea of Sweet Sacrifice being a movie because it can be a psychological horror/thriller movie about a woman (or man) who seems to feel trapped/imprisoned in their own body/mind because of certain gruesome things that have happened to them. For me, the movie would be disjointed and just be random scenes or thoughts (because it's through the perspective of the person who is a prisoner of their own mind and their thoughts are random and disjointed). Then at the end of the movie we find out that the persons thoughts were memories and they are/were suffering from a Dissociative Disorder (either dissociative amnesia or depersonalization disorder) or some kind of mental breakdown that was caused by events that put the person in the "feeling trapped/imprisoned in their body/mind" mode in the first place.

Actually it's not the same but it's close...
I write stories and I attempt to be a novelist at some point the current story I'm working on, as most of my work, is somewhat inspired by EvSongs I guess:
It's about a teenager that refrains himself from reality after witnessing the death of his best friends (SS/IMAGINARY) and goes to to this other side where he can see them again, but learns that he need to let them go otherwhise he will be trapped himself no on the other side, not at home but somewhere in his own minds that cracks everytime he goes between realms. At the end he goes cray cray and you never know whether that other place was real or a product of hi fragile mind because he stays in a bit of a comma (awake) but beyond any help or communication. It's a sweet story.
