Movie Idea 1

I've always wanted to make a movie. I've got very few ideas in my mind that I want to see come true on the big screen. I am not sure if they will be very successful, but still I want them to be out there for the world to see. If someone reads these and plans to make a movie out of it, please just let me know. Maybe I can help you develop it further. I don't want my name out there, but I sure would love it if you would tell me that you are using my idea, before I have to find it out from someone else. :-) So, here's idea # 1:

The human brain is said to be capable of a lotta things. They say that we use only a certain fraction of the full potential of our brain. They also say that Einstein used a greater fraction of his brain than a normal human being. What is there was a man who could managed to utilise the full potential of his brain? What all could he achieve? We all know how that all matter is basically made of electrons and protons, the basis of electricity. The human brain works with electric currents in it. What if that man could use the electric charges in his brain and play with matter whatever way he wanted.

The story will be of a man who manages to harness the full potential of his brain. He manages to learn how to control matter. He can be all that you read about only in comic books. He realizes that he can do everything with matter, change the very atoms that make up everything, whichever way he pleases. He realizes his powers and starts believing that he is the closest you can get to God. Since people's thoughts also originate in the brain, he ends up changing the same. He starts living a perfect life, just the way he wanted to. He gets all the money he wants, all the things he wants. Initially, he tries to steal the money and all, but when he realizes that he can change matter itself, he starts making his own money. He knows that he can work on people's thoughts and so doesn't need to pay at all for what he gets, but he realizes that it'll only result in chaos when his purchases create a void of unaccounted-for money. So, he always pays for whatever he gets. For years he lives his life like a king and enjoys it the way he wants to. One day he meets this woman and he plays with her thoughts and makes her fall for him. One day, while out on a date with her, he makes everything go perfect as usual. But after the date, the girl has an accident and dies. It comes as a shock to him. He goes into depression. He starts getting angry. He starts destroying stuff. He becomes really aggressive. Then one day, he's sitting with his head in his hands and crying over his loss and he asks himself why he couldn't prevent that. He was God. Why couldn't he prevent that? It's then that he makes out that there is one thing he can't touch and that's time. He looks around and thinks to himself, "That's where God has an upper hand over me" He hates himself for it. He has the power to do everything except manipulate time. This revelation opens his eyes and he realizes that all these days he was using his powers just for himself and was being selfish, when he could have used them for the good of humanity. This gives him the idea that he could be a real superhero if he wanted to. So, he decides to be that and continue so for as many years as he can. He knows he wouldn't die. He can prevent the wear and tear of his body due to his powers, so he can easily live for thousands of years without having a single problem. And so, with this idea in his head, he sets out as a normal man who just stops all kind of problems from plaguing the people around him.

I know this whole story sounds too much of a fantasy and very unbelievable and too typical. I agree. The basic idea I want to portray is that the man could do whatever he wanted to by using his brain and uses it for his own selfishness initially but then realizes he can put it to better use. That's it. The story is just an example of how this can be shown. Better stories exist of course. Anyway, I suck at stories. I am better at theories.
