Summarize a Movie Plot from the POV of a Supporting Character

Thread title says it all: briefly summarize a movie plot from the point-of-view of a supporting character.

For instance: A volleyball is subjected to an abusive relationship on a deserted island, then commits suicide at sea.

Others?

Re: Summarize a Movie Plot from the POV of a Supporting Character

All-powerful being tries to get "stoned" in order save the universe but finds himself constantly interfered with by a bunch of costumed "do-gooders" who thinks he's nuts.

A man returns to his late father's homeland in order to overthrow the current king and start a violent revolution against the outside world.

A dog, beloved by his owner, is murdered one night during a home invasion, but his death inspires his master to go on a bloodthirsty rampage of revenge.

A teenage girl develops a mad crush on a boy, not realizing that it's actually her son from the future, who must convince her to fall in love with the dorky student who will become her future husband.

Best in class, hard working, by-the-rules Naval Pilot sees his seat usurped by arrogant, dangerous pilot who only gets ahead because he's sleeping with the teacher.

All I do is dig. Day and night I dig. For months all I do is dig. I nearly lose my mind from the digging. Then one night this one cocky american and a prison full of arrogant British aviators come wheelin’ through my tunnel. Who are these fucking guys? Most of them I’ve never laid eyes on. What are you doing in my tunnel? You know what? I’m glad you got caught. But I got away.

Tough but well liked principal goes the extra mile to find student who is constantly cutting class to make sure he graduates. Instead gets punched, kicked, and bitten by a dog.

Sick child is forced by 'best friend' into destroying father's prized automobile.

A do-gooder, A+ student is forced into faking grandmas death in order to skip school and hang out with deadbeat boyfriend who isn't even on track to graduate.

A good man ceased to be after being seduced by some old guy. What I told you was true, from a certain point of view.

The marginalized middle son in New York's most powerful mafia family seeks to move out of his ineffectual ceremonial position in Havana and make a play to take over his rightful place as head of his family's empire, while still taking time to enjoy peaceful family time on serine fishing trips.

Lots of hippie blowhard meatbags running around in Robes spouting some nonsense about a Force, shooting at arrogant meatbags wearing Fascist Uniforms with British accents.

Amazing how similar this plot is to the Justice League, isn't it?

A bratty young girl who won't stop singing murders my sister by dropping a house on her, then steals her shoes. When I inform the girl that those shoes are now rightfully mine, she melts me with water. What a world.

Re: Summarize a Movie Plot from the POV of a Supporting Character

The greatest fighter in the history of the Soviet Union travels to America to demonstrate the greatness of the Soviet athletic training program by battling the imperialist's greatest champion. After his glorious, resounding victory in the United States, the second-closest friend of the defeated boxer travels to Russia to try and salvage some measure of retribution for his dying country, and at the same time to try and indoctrinate the great people of the Soviet Union in the wicked, capitalist ways of the Americans.

Newspaper delivery boy, who's just trying to make some extra money, wastes an entire day (and nearly dies in a skiing accident) trying to get a deadbeat subscriber to settle his debt.

Re: Summarize a Movie Plot from the POV of a Supporting Character

"Bill" is a shy, reclusive amateur Entomologist and fashion designer with a tragic past who struggles with his own gender identity issue while still promoting a healthy body image in those around him. His revolutionary outerwear designs threaten to upend both the entire fashion and textile industries. But his dreams of fashion immortality are eventually crushed when an overly-ambitious rookie FBI agent compromises all her principles and strikes a deal with a prison informant for the elusive intel that will prove his undoing.

To quote Paul F. Tompkins about his cameo in
