Essay / Analysis of the Empty Heart of a Texas Ranger - 1383
A former Texas Ranger pursues a ruthless outlaw, Empty Heart, during the California Gold Rush of the 1850s.REVIEWS STORYBLOODSTONE is a proposed one-hour western drama television pilot. The story is set during the dynamic California Gold Rush era of the 1850s. The Wild West is brought to authentic life and easily transports audiences back in time. The pilot focuses on the idea of a Texas Ranger pursuing a scary killer known as "Empty Heart." While the idea of the law going after an outlaw isn't new to the industry, the characters in this pilot seem refreshing and compelling, especially Empty Heart. He is a terrifying and haunting Native American killer. There's no doubt he can be TV's next unforgettable predator. The formula of the series is clearly conveyed in the pilot. Its name is undoubtedly chilling and frightening. He is described as soulless. His story reveals a lot about how Empty Heart becomes the warrior he is. The audience feels both repelled and hypnotized by this character. The only problem with the first act is that it ends with very gentle tension. Consider ending the first act on a stronger note. This is essential, especially if the show has commercials, because the idea is to encourage the audience to stay focused on the show rather than flipping the channel. So, a simple solution is to start the attack at the very end of the first act - with an arrow or something to hook the audience. The second act features Empty Heart's major attack on Ray and his men. This sequence provides solid tension and excitement. It's a remarkable sequence that delivers chills and shows just how ruthless, heartless and soulless Empty Heart can be. He is a formidable enemy. The flashback revealing part of Empty Heart's story works well to captivate the audience. The second act ends with a nice emotional tension when Tom's mother realizes that he is dead and attacks him.
