Steve9347 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 2, 2011 -> 12:04 PM) I get your logic, as the center of the movie is a bad guy and everything. But if you're going strictly by the enemies of the main character, the villain would be the FBI or something Or more likely the film doesn't contain a true villain. If the main character were Spider, then Tommy would be a villain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 2, 2011 -> 02:20 PM) Villains in film are defined differently than how Webster's defines it. To be a villain, Tommy would have to be cast against our main character with whom we are sympathetic. Tommy is the antithesis of villain in 'Goodfellas'. Who's sympathetic to Henry Hill? I root against him each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 2, 2011 -> 12:41 PM) Magneto was the final villain cut from my list. That was mostly due to the fact that I sort of agreed with his stance, and definitely rooted for him in First Class. That's why I had him so high, he's so compelling. You should never understand and root for a villain, but with Magneto, you do at times. Yet he is still evil when it omes to his methods.

knightni Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Just because someone's a villain, doesn't mean that you can't root for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha it must be like watching the 1985 Super Bowl over and over again and rooting against the Patriots. I would think after you know the result there would be no need to root for either side anymore.
