There's so much said about how wonderful is Marvel or Star Wars universe. All of you argue and claim there's a beauty on the way they connect every line and every story in something as hard as movies, with all this production companies issues with management, budget and cast aging. But how many movies did they release? 6? 12? Bah. Rookies...
What if I tell you there's an universe composed by 38 movies so far? Yeah! That's right. Before all of this prequels, sequels and reboots fever, it was and elaborated line about a guy whose descendants went to different wars and he comes form an insecure teen to an army lawyer and finally saved the world against aliens to be cloned by those same aliens. An epic story about a boy during centuries, better told than Highlander and more passionate than Gone with the wind. This is Tom Cruise story.
Imagine a story about a boy whose grandfather, Claus von Stauffenberg, was a former nazi who almost betrayed Hitler during WWII. After he died, Tom (let's just call him Tom as we don't have a name) was given in adoption to a man (who already had adopted a boy with autism), and ended losing his legs in Vietnam and becoming nuts. This boy had a second adoption and he got a rich and healthy family with a beautiful and expensive egg glass.
Poor Tom lost his virginity with a prostitute at the same time he was in the middle of period when he started to doubt about studying law. This led him for the first time to the army, and Tom became a pilot as his first job. But that didn't go well, and he finally quit and tried little jobs as waiter or billiard player. During this period he often dreamed about adventure, a lady and a devil portrayed by Tim Curry. Being taught by Paul Newman happened to be such a huge traumatizing experience that he turned into law school. Everything was great for our boy, but firms are not as quiet as it seems and Tom decided to continue his career in the army.
However, problems didn't finish there. An incident with and officer during trial forced him to use his reputation to become and efficient and passionate sport manager. Help me help you. Tom succeeded. He became a great manager. But, unfortunately, that was a very particular skill for the US army to use in an upcoming war again aliens. Knowing that Tom had served his country twice before, he was the perfect man to lead a media campaign to recruit citizens for this war against an army of aliens with the ability of time controlling. Tom happened to result crucial at the end of the war, but enemies were able to access Tom's DNA an they created clones of him after they finally won he war, in order to repair their own control machines. One of these clones took conscience of his own life and blew up the main machine and himself, saving the world.
World was reconstructed and year by year all of Tom's clones died by natural causes. But there was a last adventure for our Tom. One of his grandfathers changed his side from the USA to join and lead a samurai clan. This man was bitten by a vampire after he died in battle and changed his name into Lestat. After the war against the machines, and once the entire world is reconstructed, Lestat was the only one Tom alive and he decided to dedicate his live to the service of the law, as well as our Tom did, so he joined precrime. Once he was in service, searched into police historical files and discovered that his relative, Tom, as well as we worked as an attorney, he also served to a force called IMF once in a wild, as a freelance. He also discovered that, precisely, the succeed of these missions was the main reason why US Government decided to send Tom directly to the field during the war against aliens.
This is the real story about Tom. Remember that this is just a theory. But, what if it isn't? What if Tom Cruise has been kidding with us all of the time and this was a plan already thought back in the 80's? No. Definitely not.
Oh! Now that it is english I understand. I still think it is stupid.
