Every time I tell the story of my mother’s parents, of how her Russian father escaped after the October 1918 revolution when he was jailed in a Siberian prison, huffed it on foot west across Russia, into Manchuria and China, to catch a boat in Shanghai that stopped in the Philippines where he eventually met my mothers Filipina mother [for brevity I’m skipping details usually included] — every time I tell that story the listener invariably says that I should write a screenplay for it.
I’ve shared that story here on the Dope before. I found it, here ➜ Trivia Dominoes III — Play Off the Last Bit of Trivia - #1125 by Bullitt ■ .
So yeah, that’s my movie idea.
