We all know in the majority
of all storytelling, there are protagonists (whom are typically the archetypal
heroes and focal characters of the story), and the antagonists (whom are
usually the ‘villains’ or main opposition to the protagonists). Both are prevalent
and are usually included in most story genres, including movies. At time
however, those typical archetypal roles, can be blurred and not as clear as to
whom the ‘hero’ or ‘villain’ is. This is epically true with more complex storylines
and the likeness of the characters within genres of storytelling, movies, being
no exception. Some do not carry the typical morals of the atypical hero. Some
are deeply flawed in personality or by interaction. Some do not always take the
moral high road, yet might pick certain heroic traits here and there (though
not all of them). As you’re probably aware by now, this it what we refer to as Anti-heroes.
