OK, haven't seen "Identity," so I'll try to get a copy and watch it.
I'm rewriting right now to remove the sexual assault.
Of the three multiples I've communicated with on an ongoing basis, all three had littles. I guess I'm not quite sure why you're saying my use of a child multiple is cliche. Is there something in particular that B.J. does that -- as a multiple -- is cliche? Are there films that you can suggest that use the child multiple in a cliche way? Are you saying that B.J. shouldn't act like a child (innocent), or that there shouldn't be any littles at all? (As I remember in "The Three Faces of Eve," "Psycho," and more recently, "Lord of the Rings" (gollum vs smeagol) "Heroes," none of the multiples have had littles.)
What about B.J., Heather, Zoe, and Suzanne do you find cliche? Heather is intelligent, shy, a medal-winning skater who's great with kids. Zoe is a geeky, self-confident tomboy. Suzanne is an anti-establishment waif who enjoys singing and speaks French. B.J. is a precocious kid who enjoys drawing. I wouldn't consider any of them a "bitch" or a "slut."
As for "the one who doesn't know about anyone else," several people here have suggested that's a rarity. Can you give me an example where it's been used in movies as a cliche?
Finally, the "me or them" story line. What about it do you find cliche? Again, can you give me examples of movies that have explored this? I'm not making a documentary or a docudrama, so what would you consider an acceptable conflict? What would you consider an acceptable story line?
