Formal Film Study: Movies Where The Main Characters Are Potrayed As TheBad Individuals

Different movies leave different audiences to ponder in their thoughts with the following question of "why"? Movies get its high rating from the audiences either from the movie having a great storyline without the audiences having predictive judgement of what's about to happen or where the audience is kept in suspense on what's about to happen next or from the story line being inverted (where the main characters are set apart from the others either from their behavior or why they matter), not too generic. Some of the most famous movies like Taxi Driver left audiences with a great suspense and in question as Robert De Niro is practicing with a pistol for a future cause. Movies that I found interesting that kept audiences on the edge of their seats was Memento (directed by Christopher Nolan), Nightcrawler (directed by Dan Gilroy) and The wolf of Wall Street (directed by the famous Martin Scorsese). The characters from the movies live in their own world and are also living in the prerogative that they have the right to do whatever they want to get what they want with desire without any restrictions until they achieve their own goals. The characters will also try to lure in others to help them in their way to get their treasure or goal.

Industry: The movies give a different a different path of the story then those from the modern generic movies. When compared to the other Hollywood movies, the directors of these movies decided to take a different approach and give a different look to the main characters. The main characters in the movies have a different attitude, wanting to become the bad villains that corrupted the world or their surroundings in some way either through politics and money or craving their own desires in some way. The movies show how corrupt an individual could be either by cheating through the American currency system to obtain riches or to get to their own personal goal of killing someone or getting rewarded and praise from everybody else. The unpleasant main characters also manipulates others into helping them knowing little the character are using them to obtain and cheating the system to obtain their dream victory thus corrupting the system. Leonard Shelby (played by Guy Pearce) is an individual trying avenge his wife's death by killing the murder go always from the justice system and going by his own justice system the victim whom he thinks killed his wife. I forgot to mention that he by the way has short term memory loss so he forgets what he does in about 10 minutes or so. With the short term memory loss, he kills Teddy (played by Joe Pantoliano) from assumption since he met Leonard's criteria's and not from any actual facts. Leonard also killed him with his own system of justice and not the laws with a fair trial. Leonard also helps Natalie (played by Carrie-Ann Moss) by killing her boyfriend. One of main characters Natalie, manipulates Leonard so that he can kill Her boyfriend for her. Natalie takes advantage of his condition. In night crawler, Lou (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) is an individual who wanted to get and obtain every bodies attention through the use of capturing disturbing videos of citizens being killed or a car chase. Lou manipulates the news station employer Nina (played by Rene Russo) by talking to her in a nice tone showing that he's an intelligent person and by being nice to making not say no to him. At one point of the movie, he manipulates into telling her how much money he wants. In the Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) manipulates the job of an American stock broker by telling the customers that they'll succeed if they invest their money. With the invested money that the customers out, Jordan actually steal their money for himself thus obtaining his American Dream of being rich. Most Hollywood movies tell the story where the main character or characters start being liked and  are at the exposition state. As movie continues, the characters are moved into a rising action until they reach they're biggest threat or climax. Afterwards they fall into a depression and are picked up by resolution. The three movies are showed differently by the main characters being the bad guys instead and they succeed at what they're trying to achieve even though they go through obstacles and challenges ahead of them.

Camera: The camera angles and lighting are unique with the lighting being consistent with the theme of the character and the angles focusing on the main characters but also the other people the main characters come across to.
