Abstract: The Invisibles (Formerly, I, Bachelier Invisible Man)
This is the double epic and tragic life story of the unrecognized genius (Louis Bachelier), who, at the turn of the 20th century, laid down the foundations of mathematical finance upon which Wall Street is built, mirrored through the life of a contemporary, as of yet to be recognized "Black Einstein" (K.) of African origin - A Bachelier look alike, except that he is Black - who, ignored and discarded, at the turn of the 21st century, has led down the mathematical foundations of Risk Management that would have prevented the 2008 crisis, and his travails in France, on Wall Street where most of the action takes place, in China with Flashbacks to Africa.
The narrative unfolds mainly in four languages (English, French, Mandarin Chinese, Ghomala) , because language is a central thematic issue that drives the unique insights of K., making him both extraordinary and hard to understand. It showcases the glamour of Wall Street life, switching through the dangers of inner city struggles, and intertwines two great love stories, advancing through well timed poetry, music and built-in mathematical riddles that give the overall plot universal and timeless significance, educating while deeply entertaining.
By surveying the most important stories of the first half of the 20th century, the end of the 20th, and the beginning of the 21st (including 9/11), it is a story that explores the universal nature of prejudice - here elitism, ageism, racism -harking back to the past to shed light on active contemporary American controversies of central importance.
This is a deeply unsettling story - in the words of Prof. Leo Damrosch, the Jean Jacques Rousseau biographer, Harvard Professor who directed the thesis that is the draft screenplay "immensely thought provoking" - to dazzle and make you cry, all at once.
It combines elements of Good Will Hunting, 21, A beautiful Mind, The Imitation Game, Concussion, Tree of Life. The draft is 210 pages long. It can be developed either as a long epic movie as a TV series It is a different viewpoint narrative designed to appeal to a global viewing audience, American, Chinese, European (French), and African.
