Doing a 180

As mentioned In my last couple of posts. I have to pivot because of the

 

So  I came up with a new idea:

It's about a guy who learns about Minimalism and starts getting rid of virtually all of his stuff in his house. At first, it could start off with him getting rid of his old clothes or cleaning up his closet or something simple. Then it can escalate until he is left sitting in an empty room.

I had a good idea for a visual where we can have an overhead shot of the main character sleeping on his bed and then him saying something along the lines of "I don't need a bed this big" and then jump cut to a smaller bed. Then he says "The floor is not that uncomfortable" then the bed completely disappears and he is left on the floor with no pillow. Then he says "Who needs a pillow when I have my arm." And the pillow poofs out of existence.

This demonstrates how much his Minimalist lifestyle is getting out of hand. It might seem a little crazy to get rid of your bed, but I have done this before. I still have a bed, but for a good month I just slept on the floor and it wasn't that bad. It helped out with some back pain and I always felt well rested. I could definitely see myself just not getting a bed if I ever have my own place because I seriously consider it to be an unnecessary luxury.

After we see him get rid of his stuff, he stumbles across one thing he didn't get rid of and it's a photograph of a girl, which we can assume he has some kind of emotional bond with and she is no longer in his life. We see him try and get rid of the photograph, but he just can't get himself to do it.

This is the criticism I'm trying to make. I equate adopting an extreme Minimalist lifestyle almost like running away from your problems, the same way that Minimalists describe consumerism.
