The Man without Gravity I

Dressed and proper, Alexander traveled to a nearby cinema with his grandfather.

It was April 7 and a Friday night. Just in time for new movie releases and The Man Without Gravity is Creed Pictures' April movie.

By now, Lola's run in the theaters had globally been offline after earning a considerable 56 million dollars. A slow rake of videotape rental dividends, sales, and television authorizations are what floods money next into the company's pockets.

'It Follows' stays true to its name as it followed the running footsteps of its predecessor. Experts predict that it might surpass Lola given that it has brought much more intrigue to society.

Jennifer Connelly is much more established than the newcomer Nicole Kidman after all.

Creed Pictures' successes also made this premiere something to look out for. The trailer about a floating man is not as intriguing as Reeve's Superman but the story still attracted people.

The premiere is as low-level as usual but it had much more sophistication and planning to prevent another Jennifer accident.

Alexander can't outright seduce the next actress that would be hounded by paparazzi due to mishaps.

The actors are of Italian descent and no-name newcomers so having fans flocking to the cinema was improbable.

As usual, the premier lucky goers would be the people that luckily flock to the gathering.

Instead of normal passerby's like usual though, the Creed Pictures striking logo had garnered some sort of following so some people that could be considered Creed fans showed up.

Of course, they would only be counted with one hand but it was something worth clapping for, for the new coming Creeds.

Since there is no inclusivity and exclusivity in who can enter the shoddy Creed premieres, there is still some special folk that can slip through whether the Creed duo likes it or not.

Home Alone had only the crew on its semi-premiere. Run Lola Run had Kirk Douglas. It Follows had the Hollywood power lineup.

In all honesty, Alexander was looking forward to who can come.

Although the distribution team tries to make it as formal event as possible, nothing would really be achieved.

Their big and little boss are too unsocial and considered an oddity for established film personalities to be able to hand out invitations to them.

Like Alexander, the premier correspondents were looking forward to dramatic personalities to barge into the premieres to create topicality to the event, which means propaganda and whatnot.

Unfortunately, they might be disappointed on this night as only a minimal amount of media people were flocking to the semi-red carpet and the movie's debut might end up being dull.

Ms. Connelly came in to face their loneliness with her relative star presence but that is all to that. The Creed employees pretty much know that she and the little boss has a weird fling while the media had already judged the Alexander and Jennifer relationship as a passing trend.

All was well in the event. Without hitch, the main crew got their deserved positions while Jennifer had the privilege to sit by the Creed's special seating spots.

After everyone attending was settled. The curious murmurs and small talk eventually quieted down as the auditorium lights dimmed dimmer and the trailers ended.

The fresh and funky Creed Pictures opening started with its silver metallic arrowhead and kicked off 'The Man without Gravity'.

------

The plot of the film revolves around the child Oscar who, when being born, flies away lighter than a balloon.

A woman near childbirth is rushed to a clinic in the midst of the rainy night and a scene of labor is presented to the audience.

While the people winced at the semi-realism of the whole scenario and felt the relative normalcy of it, the baby was successfully birthed but hadn't cried out as one should have.

The midwife and the attendees were supposed to be worried by this turn of events. However, they were awed instead as the newborn baby, while still not having its cord cut off, drifted high towards the ceiling with ease.

The cinematic scene of the cinema and Director Bruno and Producer Alexander's planning for the awestriking effect did their part.

Baby Oscar debuted with spectacular fashion and showed the audience what treat they were in for.

The mother Natalia had her instincts kick in and pulled her baby closer to her by using the umbilical cord.

After proper procedures, Grandmother Alina rushes the mother and the baby out of the place and makes it her mission to keep the baby's peculiarity a secret.

It is to protect the special boy from the cruelty of the world. Being dissected and experimented on is among her worries.

Baby Oscar is considered a miracle and an angel by her mother.

When the grandmother asks who the boy's father is, it is revealed that Natalia is a prostitute and effectively giving the meaning that it isn't a Jesus-like miracle that one assumes it should be.

Gravity-less antics occur as the mother and grandmother pair do trial and error to deal with their quirky kin.

Mother Natalia assumes that his weightlessness is due to not having eaten something.

During the night, baby Oscar would have no holding and peacefully slept on the ceiling after floating towards it.

Mother and Grandma had to tape mattresses on the ceiling to deal with it.

When neighbors come to visit and want to hold the baby, the duo try their best to hide the baby's specialty.

Oscar would be strapped on his crib while a blanket would hide the trick.

When a lady asks to take the boy outside, Grandma Alina hilariously shrugs them off by saying that baby Oscar is allergic to the sun.

Baby Oscar grows up as his weightless body maneuvers through the house and watches his favorite comic hero, Batman.

The quintessential Batman animated series still hasn't been made yet, so Creed Pictures had to get authorization from DC about that Batman series where Batman has a literal shark-repellent spray.

The debate about normalcy and secrecy continues while Oscar found ample normalcy when he has the right amount of weight to counter his gravity-less state.

Little Oscar would have this weird life ahead of him.

This is just going to be plain horrendous, silly, and more disgusting than my main trashy work.

You've been warned!
