How can I...?

One thing that I think makes an interesting storyline is a good, unexpected, ironic thematic question. For example, what I like about the Sixth Sense is that it answered the question, "how can you make a movie about the supernatural that does not deny the supernatural, but still leaves us feeling safe and happy?" There have been a couple of "how can you make a serial killer who is lovable?" films and TV series. One thematic storyline question I like is this: "how can you make a heroic character out of someone who always appears to be compromising?"
