More From Mignon McLaughlin

It concerns me when i see a small child watching the hero shoot the villain on television. it is teaching the small child to believe that shooting people is heroic. the hero just did it and it was effective. it was acceptable and the hero was well thought of afterward. if enough of us find inner peace to affect the institution of television, the little child will see the hero transform the villain and bring him to a good life. he'll see the hero do something significant to serve fellow human beings. so little children will get the idea that if you want to be a hero you must help people.

Villains can often be one note and i would say in that case, it’s not fun to play the villain. it’s fun to play the villain if he a) has dimension and b) the villain gets to do all the things in the movie that in life he would get punished for. in the movie, you’re applauded for them if you do them with panache. and so that’s why it’s more fun to play the villain.
Fun Often Is Play
If you have not been a villain at a certain point in time, you will never be a hero. and the day you are a hero, you may become a villain the next day.
Hero Next Day May
A man can be a hero if he is a scientist, or a soldier, or a drug addict, or a disc jockey, or a crummy mediocre politician. a man can be a hero because he suffers and despairs; or because he thinks logically and analytically; or because he is "sensitive"; or because he is cruel. wealth establishes a man as a hero, and so does poverty. virtually any circumstance in a man's life will make him a hero to some group of people and has a mythic rendering in the culture - in literature, art, theater, or the daily newspapers.

It really doesn't matter whether it's the villain or the hero. sometimes the villain is the most colorful. but i prefer a part where you don't know what he is until the end.

Yes, this is hard. but there should be no question that the united states of america is stepping up to the plate. we recognize our role in creating this problem; we embrace our responsibility to combat it. we will do our part, and we will help developing nations do theirs. but we can only succeed in combating climate change if we are joined in this effort by every nation - developed and developing alike. nobody gets a pass.
