I had an idea for movie that is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (play: 1966, film: 1990), which was written by Tom Stoppard and is a play that was made into a movie and is a behind-the-scenes of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, meets Star Trek, specifically focused on the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, “A Matter of Perspective” (1990). Like the Star Trek: Voyager episode, “Retrospect” (1998), this TNG episode is problematic because the resolution is that a women is shown to have lied about being violated. With that in mind, both Voyager and TNG did prove a woman should be believed with the episodes “Remember” (1996) and “Violations” (1992).
This story idea firmly integrates the Star Trek: Enterprise episode, “Observer Effect” (2005). We see the Organians can watch us to judge our stage of development. Well my Star Trek film idea is simple: Organians are present during the interactions of the characters of “A Matter of Perspective” and we learn despite there being four different stories (as we see in the episode) about what happened, they were in fact, all complete lies. None of them contain the complete truth and only the Organians really know what happened. In the end it is only with the help of the Organians’s interjection we finally learn what happened in “A Matter of Perspective.” There is the same multilayered plot development just like in the TNG episode, but it is the Organians conducting the hearing, from the outside, unseen, being willing to listen to each story before they finally reveal the truth in a manner not unlike how Tim Roth and Gary Oldman came to conclusions to so-called truth in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, which I feel is an interesting perspective on how the Organians presented themselves in “Observer Effect,” detached, but completely involved.
