high concept movies

Ricky Gervais transforma filme in high concept in Total Film

Big: "A boy wakes up one day in a man's body." (If it were a film in which a man becomes young again, it probably wouldn't be described as "A man wakes up in a young boy's body". That would give the wrong impression)

Schindler's List: "Man breaks equal opportunity laws by only employing Jewish people in a factory even though they are not qualified, with disastrous results"

The Passion of the Christ: "Movie about a weird guy who you can beat and kill and he still forgives you"

Milk: "Gay politician gets shot in the face"

Philadelphia: "Gay lawyer with Aids hires black lawyer who hates gays. With Aids."
