Days Of The Future Past

In conceptualizing "Days of the Future Past", my intention is to reveal the mystery of life from a romantic and naturalistic perspective interspersed with elements of magical realism... toward that effort, the significance of the dream world is integral to the story, as are flashback sequences in creating an abstract, non-linear landscape. Religious beliefs take on relevance as do ghostly perceptions, particularly as they relate to cultural affectations and a subconscious fear of the unknown. Setting becomes important in revealing character motivation, i.e., the sophisticated New York City backdrop draws a contrast to the rural and peaceful existence of Nebraska, save for occasional inclement weather that gets more ominous as the plot progresses, and is a catalyst to imparting how atmospheric elements affect the interrelationships between the main characters.
