Hollywood Movie Script Coverage for “The Devil in Paradise” by Stephen Montagna has been released for the book’s qualification for a Hollywood movie adaptation
ARP’s Movie Script Coverage service aims to provide a written outline of the author’s book—a screenplay—that will be stored in a database that major studios can consult when seeking stories to adapt into films. Recently, a Hollywood-style script was written for Stephen Montagna’s book, “The Devil in Paradise”.
“The Devil in Paradise” is a story that shows Cuba’s cultural and political history. It also shows the general human behaviors that affect the political and cultural history of the country. It will appeal to the world as it concerns America’s role in restoring sanity in Cuba.
The screenplay is the common ground on which producers, directors, actors, and production teams working on the movie will collaborate from start to finish and serves as a roadmap for them in terms of what will be seen on the big screen. The production of the Movie Script Coverage is to prepare for the screenplay to be produced.
Stephen Francis Montagna was born in Brooklyn, New York, and started his career in writing in 1996. He has already completed 23 novels. He loved fishing and enjoying the life God had given him.
Writing has become his passion, his mistress, his lover, his monster, and his dream, and it allows him to be someone as he is writing different kinds of characters with different ways of living.
The reasoning behind the narration in “The Devil in Paradise” is to expose the power-drunk attitude of the military and leaders of Cuba during the period the story covers. It also shows the general inhuman treatment of the opposition and the autocracy that characterized the government under Castro and Alvarez. It also exposes the selfishness of the United States of America, although it also passes as an effort to help the civilians of Cuba.
Castro starts as a local boy but gains recognition as a voice for change against the ruling power of his time. He gathers forces against the government and launches an attack against them but fails. He fails many other times and earns himself an exile sentence. This shows the difficulty of taking power from people, especially the government. This logic behind the story benefits countries where citizens are tired of the government and reminds them of the possible dangers and challenges of taking power away from it.
The reluctance of the military to pursue the guerillas and Castro into the forests shows that the military is comprised of humans. They have some fear in them, despite their training. However, it also paints them badly, as their fear and logic supersede their willingness to defend their country and president from the forces causing unrest.
The complaints from Colonel Alvarez to President Castro show the neglect regarding the military’s needs. Also, the reign of Castro, where the citizens are treated with cruelty, shows that he’s no better than the previous president. Alvarez’s rise to power and his reign being similar to Castro’s and filled with civil unrest point to the fact that occupants of positions of power and authority often don’t deliver on their promises and that their power easily corrupts them.
The support that Maria and Sergeant Reguilion show to Alvarez shows their support for his ambition. However, their ill-treatment at the hands of Alvarez and those he holds in high regard after assuming power demonstrates that those in power can easily forget the loyalty they enjoyed while making the journey to their seat of power. Maria becomes a sexual object for Calvo and Alvarez. Melba also maltreats her. Sergeant Reguilion receives threats from Calvo.
However, the death of Alvarez at the hands of Maria displays the possibility of the tables turning, where the prey becomes the hunter. Maria takes the law into her hands to liberate herself from Alvarez. The civilians of Cuba also take to the streets and fight to the death to free themselves from Alvarez.
