Movie VillainsWhat really is a villain? Villains have been alive
forever, there is no way to easily detected them or stopping them. They
come in all shapes and sizes from animals to little children to even space
aliens. Each villain has his or her own particular style, usually greed.
Another big reason for there evil acts is because of revenge, revenge can
turn innocent people in to cold blooded killers. The term used to
represent villains is antagonist, or someone who opposes the protagonist
or hero of the story. Movie villains are not just plainly the main enemy in
a movie as in Nightmare on Elm Street series or on the Friday the 13th
series, but sometimes it is just a little enemy, sometimes killed off, that is
the villain. Sometimes the protagonist turns out to be the biggest
antagonist in the story, like in the movie La Strata. Villains usually meet
their end by death, but sometimes their fate can be worse than that, like
in the movie Time After Time a character call Dr. Stevenson, who is also
know as Jack the Ripper, meets his death by traveling to the farthest time
ever in the face of the earth, probably when the earth is completely
destroyed. Other villains meet their doom with being put in jail. There are
a few movies in which the villains actually comes out victorious, as in the
movie Chinatown. Villains or antagonist are the spotlights of most
movies.What is the origin of villains? Villains have been around since
evil has walked the earth. Movies have made evil from all the different
ages to come out, for instance Messala in Ben Hur is from the early AD
years and Toecutter from the movie Mad Max lives in the late 1990's.
Probably the earliest known villains would be the serpent in the garden of
eve. It was the first villains by coaxing Adam and Eve into eating the
apple. From there more villains came, from Egypt's Pharaohs to Chinese
emperors. One movie era of villains was villains from the medieval times
or a little earlier, like Vikings and evil knights. More modern movie villains
were Nazi's, mad scientists, psychopaths, gangsters, people with super
human powers, and spies. Villains have evolved devilishly throughout the
ages.What are some famous villains? There are millions of villains
throughout movie history, some stand out more than others. One villains
I think anyone can recognize is the wicked witch of the west from The
Wizard of Oz, she is so sinister it makes her stand out and also everyone
likes her flying monkeys. One villains from biblical times is Dathan from
The Ten Commandments, who is the sinister helper of the Pharaoh
Ramses that tries to kill Moses. Dathan meets his despise by being
engulfed in a trench than makes him fall into a place worse than any
other place in the world. A fairly old villain is Long John Silver from
Treasure Island. Long John doesn't die in the end, he escapes because
he tricks Jim into letting him go from his prison, he escapes and probably
is still trying to find gold to this day. One more modern villains is Jaws,
not the fish, from the James Bond series. Jaws is a really tall man who
has hands as big as a person head, and metal teeth that can crush
thorough anything. Jaws never dies but usually comes back in another
movie, he actually turns good in one movie. Villains are in every form and
in every age.Why do villains appeal to me? I love to watch villains do
there dirty work and to use trickery to ruin the hero's life. It is not that I
am a villain in real life, but it just intrigues me to watch them. Usually the
villains get their just desserts but I always think in the back of my head
that they would come out on top. One villains that totally was intriguing
was Noah Cross from Chinatown. He was pure evil committing such
crimes as rape, incest, child abuse, murder, conspiracy, kidnapping, and
bribery and he actually comes out on top at the end of the movie. The
wrong person got shoot and his daughter, which he raped and abused,
gets returned to him at the end of the movie, probably to get raped again.
That type of movie villains is rare, and when it does happen it is
amazing. Another thing I like is when villains are still alive and waiting to
come back in a sequel as in the Omen series. I just love that little
antichrist Damien and all of his little killings. Movie villains are my favorite
thing in the world, they are so evil it is funny. Works CitedStacy, Jan The
