Part 1: The Words Movie Summary
Phoenix Walker was a world renowned superstar, his music trended all over the world and he was a sensation for women. Like every other superstars, he was up in drug abuse and every other kind of substances. He lived on the fast lane and moved like a roller-coaster. He was always in the company of women among his musical crew. His lifestyle was breakfast in America and dinner in Paris.
Life was good and he was getting nominated for awards all over the world. Money flowed like a river and he owned, at least, one of every exotic, luxurious or electric cars available, including two private jets. All of these achievements just at the age of 25. But it wasn’t always so. He was born in a small town in Ohio, into the Walker family. But this family was suffering heavily under the weight of a curse.
His mother had died while giving birth to him and he’d been raised by an aunt who’d moved in with them to baby sit him. His mother’s death had affected his father terribly even to the extent of madness. To him, his wife’s demise was his little son’s fault. If he’d only but this or that… It used to be words until his aunt decided he was old enough and moved back to her own home. Phoenix became his father’s punching bag.
The problem was that Mr. Walker didn’t beat his son to leave him alive. The man drank until he was out of reason with eyes shut in blurry vision. And he would hit him with a base ball bat or any other heavy objects. Moments like those usually resulted to the little boy finding ways to escape. And his mind would escape to the pleasures of making music for survival. Around the age of 18, he met a young girl named Lennon Micheal.
She was his high school class mate and a beautiful relationship blossomed between them, especially after he rescued her from a set of bullies. Lennon sang her original song to him and in desperation, he decided to steal it for the audition that made him who became today. He’d also broken up with her after she caught him sleeping with her bully. But today, five years later, she is assigned to become his supervisor.
Part 2: Get To Know The Words Main Characters and Cast
Phoenix Walker
Phoenix Walker was the main character of The Words movie. He played the role of a superstar musician who had lost his mother at birth. This movie was like the ‘behind the scenes’ of this rock-star’s lifestyle, the part that his fans didn’t know. As a successful musician, who’d given so much to see the limelight, he was feisty and constantly bent on abusing drugs and substances.
One might wonder why the super human didn’t prioritize peace or solitude and in this movie lay the explanation. Phoenix was living the life of an abused child, the type that didn’t have anyone to console them, the type that lived in fear and trepidation of their father’s next action. To escape such a hell, he’d found his talent in singing and would sacrifice his relationship after stealing her music.
Lennon Michael
Lennon Michael was the female lead of The Words movie. Lennon was a senior high school student in the same school as Phoenix Walker. She shared most of the same classes and had a huge crush on him. But she wasn’t alone in this, as Phoenix was not only a handsome young boy, he was also a popular musician around town and within the school’s society. The ladies liked him.
She wouldn’t have ever crossed his eye sight or spoken a word to him, had her perpetual bully not found a reason to remember her today. She was arranging her locker when they chased her down the school’s basement. And that day constituted the first time she spoke to her crush. It also kicked off their relationship, the one that ended with Phoenix sleeping with her bully and stealing her song.
Sabrina Simmons
Sabrina Simmons was the second female lead of The Words movie. She played the role of Lennon’s nemesis. She was the kind of girls who were the school’s hot topic. Any parties she wasn’t attending wasn’t steamy enough. She was also pretty and liked to dress to please the guys. While Lennon was tall and bulky, she was slim, short and petite. She preferred to bully her.
For some reasons, Sabrina didn’t like Lennon very much. Especially after she caught her sleeping with her Boyfriend’s brother during Prom after party last month. Just like every other society ladies, Sabrina also had a crush on Phoenix. Watching a relationship develop between him and Lennon was excessively painful and she would begin to make plans on how to end it and win him over.
Draven Turner
Draven Turner was the second male lead of The Words movie. Draven played the role of the devoted boyfriend to Sabrina Simmons. He was the kind of boys who weren’t exactly sure of themselves. Dating and being with Sabrina boosted his ego among his peers, therefore, he would do anything to keep it going. Her words were his command.
He was simply a boy way beneath her league who was excessively shy to try his luck among other ladies. He was also from a wealthy family which was why even though he wasn’t her type, Sabrina preferred to keep him close. He was always in their company whenever they were ready to start bullying Lennon..
