note: How is time related?
Movie documents how two individuals utilize their time to get
a specific task done, and the way their approaches are
contrasted.
- [ ] II. LOGLINE: Two guys live together with highly contrasting
personalities. These personalities contrast most around breakfast
time, as they both try to make pancakes.
- [ ] III. SYNOPSIS: (Divided into three parts)
- [ ] A. The movie begins with two guys who spend their morning playing video games at home. Guy One is calm, collected, and patient. Guy Two is high strung and likes to do things as quickly as possible. Guy two is also more competitive than guy one and exclaims in excitement when he wins in the game they are playing. Suddenly, his stomach growls loudly. Guy One looks at the clock. He realizes they have not eaten all day, and it is already noon. Guy Two looks in the fridge for something quick to make for breakfast. He reaches for the eggs, and only finds one left. He sees next to him that Guy One has pulled out the ingredients to make pancakes from scratch, as indicated by his pancake syrup off to the side for later. Guy Two is not happy about him taking the two eggs he wanted to scramble and opts to make quick pancakes from "instant mix"instead.
- [ ] B. From here, the story moves back and forth between Guy One and Guy Two's techniques in cooking. Where guy one makes his batter with the utmost care, Guy Two reads the instructions of the "instant mix" very quickly, and proceeds to make his batter too thick. He starts over, and makes it too runny. Meanwhile, Guy One is already pouring his first pancake into the skillet. Guy Two finally makes decent batter, but cuts corners again by cranking the heat to HIGH and not using cooking spray. Refusing to preheat his skillet results in his food almost catching fire, and him having to scrape the burnt pancake from the skillet. He looks over to GUY ONE, who flipped his pancake over to brown the other side("sizzle").
- [ ] C. At the end of the film, Guy One is done making his pancakes, and sits at the table, ready to eat. He made extra for Guy Two, and offers him some. Guy Two refuses, trying to keep
his pride in check, and continues to work in his now messy part of the kitchen, trying to make Instant Pancakes without reading the instructions. Guy One finishes eating and goes to play video games again. While Guy One is not looking, Guy Two eats the remaining pancakes that Guy One left for him.
