Why couldn't his outlook have been altered by e.g. being confronted by someone whose leg he shot off.Scarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000921519899599070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35137734.post-44897527606876930602007-02-06T12:08:00.000+02:002007-02-06T12:08:00.000+02:00Another question, why is there always a villain in...Another question, why is there always a villain in movies? Can't they just have the story without someone being greedy and evil?<br /><br />Well, in war movies there can be no war without greed and evil, and there can be no good without a bit of love, not romantic love particularly, but just love which leads to good, that counters evil.<br /><br />My point is that the world would not have wars or heroes if it were not for hate and love. It's hard to believe a bad man is turning good for the sake of love of the world, but the effect of love on people is a changing effect and in a 2 hour movie, it's very difficult to make the transition believable. <br /><br />"People are neither good or evil, it's their actions that make them either this or that".. (almost).. so the motivation has to be believable unless you're watching a movie like Seven Years in Tibet which is all about a non romantically induced change of a man.Wael Eskandarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685842195441037505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35137734.post-27738505046304248082007-02-04T09:57:00.000+02:002007-02-04T09:57:00.000+02:00Well the reason behind this is probably the same a...Well the reason behind this is probably the same as what we say here, "el film da qessa walla manazer?"
