Ima guess. Some guy loves this chick and proposes to her then she gets hit by a truck as she's jumping for joy as she accepts? Damn, that's a good movie idea. I'd call it; "Coping".
In 1920s Los Angeles, stuntman Roy Walker (Lee Pace) is in a hospital, bedridden and possibly paralyzed after a jump he took in his first film. One day, a note blows in through his window and lands on his bed. Alexandria (Catinca Untaru), the young patient who wrote the note, rushes in to take it back. Roy tells her she is named after Alexander the Great, one of the greatest warriors of all time, and begins to tell her a story about him. A doctor tells Alexandria she has to leave, but not before Roy promises to tell her an epic tale if she will return the next day.
The next morning, as Roy spins his tale of fantasy, Alexandria's imagination brings his characters to life. Roy's tale is about five heroes: a silent Indian warrior, a muscular ex-slave named Otta Benga (see Ota Benga, possible source of name); a cigar chomping Italian explosives expert called Luigi; a surreal version of Darwin with a pet monkey named Wallace (after Alfred Russel Wallace) that communicates only with Darwin; and a masked swashbuckling bandit in a sleeveless Hussar jacket, padres hat and samurai style pants, who uses a matched pair of flintlock pistols. An evil ruler named Odious has committed an offense against each of the five, who all seek revenge.
