After watching ＂City Lights＂, talk about those villains who hate and suck powder.

"Lovely and charming villain" — — Huston Rockets

Special feature of 1905 film network "In order to prevent the world from being destroyed, to protect the peace of the world, to carry out the evil of love and truth, a lovely and charming villain … …” I believe that many friends like me who are in Grade 2 are familiar with the classic and magical lines in this cartoon Poké mon. It’s not easy to really be a charming villain.It can make people (within the correct scope of the three views) gnash their teeth and feel pity, which is indispensable and impressive, and can be described as the highest realm.

　Heath Ledger’s "Clown" Image

There are very few "top-level" villains who can meet the above conditions one by one, butJoker, the clown played by Heath Ledger in the film, is undoubtedly one of them..In the years since Nolan’s Batman series was deified, both the character’s own creativity and Heath Ledger’s personal performance have been analyzed in detail countless times, and it is unnecessary to repeat them: everyone is afraid of clowns, and the endless and unreasonable crimes he brings are disgusting and chilling, but his extremely tragic life makes people willing to understand his desperate resistance to fate.

Villain Jiangya

　

At present, the villain Jiangya is a bit of a clown, but he seems to be more like a combination of a clown and Batman:Pretending to be "the light of the city", because "the city needs a beam of light", he completed the "dark trial" of the evildoers in the city in his own way (murder full of ritual sense), but he also had no scruples about involving innocent people in his own murder plan.

　

A mysterious, cautious, evil and full of "sense of justice" contradiction, which is exactly what Remy, the original author of "Psychological Crime" series, wants to describe as a "different and charming" villain in the final chapter of the first season. As a person standing on the opposite side of "justice", the stories, emotions and conflicts that the villain needs to bear and express are more complicated and intense."A good villain should have a complete set of values that belong to him. This value may be absurd, but it must be convincing and may even confuse people."Remy understands the creation of villains like this.

　

Jiangya villain image is very complicated.

From the plot of "City Light of Psychological Crime", we can see the shadow of childhood domestic violence hidden in Jiangya’s heart. This victim’s identity is not only the basis of his opponent’s worship (even distorted worship), but also gives the most reasonable motivation for his birth and action after "City Light".The real world is never simply black and white. The more three-dimensional the complexity of human nature is, the more it can touch people’s hearts."Jiang Ya incarnated’ justice’ in the middle of the night. This kind of revenge (at the first time) will make people feel very Japanese, but how should we choose when we really face the law? Such a role may arouse the audience’s relatively complicated feelings towards him. " Remy said. In other words,I’m afraid this kind of complexity is our own struggle between the correctness of the three views and the deep sympathy.

Batman confronts the clown

　

The clown and Jiang Ya also introduce another important attribute of the "charming" villain — —Only above the successful villain can we see better heroes.The clown throws a dilemma multiple-choice question, which makes Batman finally understand where the just soul is after experiencing confusion and pain. The same is true of Jiangya, who uses a series of murders to stir up the high emotions of the people and also test the bottom line of the protagonist. It was the murder of an innocent little girl that made Fang Mu determined to fight to the death with the "city light" in extreme resentment and collapse.

Andrew scott plays Professor moriarty in Sherlock.

　

Tracing back to the classics, Professor moglia in the detective novel adventures of sherlock holmes can also be called such a figure. Since the publication of the original work in the 19th century, it has been adapted into numerous versions by film and television. In the most popular BBC English drama version in recent years, actor andrew scott once again gave this deadly enemy a brand-new look with a version of moriarty, which is as crazy and magical as a clown.

　

Of course, in addition to these villains who need to build on the plot to display their "charming" charm, there is also a class of villains who are relatively simple and rude. They can easily circle the powder by eating people and setting bonuses.Ill-tempered, self-willed, anyway, stories and characters give infinite space, as long as you boldly release yourself, there will be a large number of fans willing to fall for it.

Tom Hiddleston plays the evil god Loki 3.

　

The absolute leader of this kind of villains is Loki, the evil god in the series of Raytheon by MCU. When it comes to doing bad things, he can disturb the order of the universe, destroy the heaven, piss off Dad and brush his brother around. Although it’s not bad to the bone, it’s still an absolute TOP in the jerk index. As for PK’s popularity, Loki is not lost to many characters in the same universe.

　

The charm of villains like them stems from this fearless madness in their hearts.Compared with all the positive characters who have to think twice about justice and the overall situation, people like Loki can be more reckless and go their own way about their persistent things, not only for the audience who saw the movie, but also for the performers, which should be a more enjoyable experience.

Many actors have expressed their desire to challenge the villain.

　

After writing this article, I specially searched the search engine for the keywords "Want to challenge the villain role". Among more than 150,000 related results, a series of familiar actors’ names appeared, such as Lu Han, Haoran Liu, Karry, Liu Shishi, Han Geng, Jiang Jinfu, etc. They all expressed their interest in this kind of role at a certain moment. It seems that there are really many people who have been circled by the villain. On the premise that the three views are correct, we really expect to see more and more classic villains in the future and become another kind of "light" in film and television works.
