Why do almost all film heroes kill somebody?!


Question:

Why do almost all film heroes kill somebody?

I was thinking the other day: almost all male hero leads in the majority of films kill somebody - normally by gunshot. Name me a male lead considered a hero that isn't also a murderer in most of their films? There aren't many..What does this say about us?


Answers:

For most action films, you are right. I think it means that we like to see the bad guy die. There are a lot of other kinds of a films that feature heroes who don't kill, even if they may not fit your typical definition of "hero".

Serpico
Rocky
On the Waterfront
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
It's a Wonderful Life
Philadelphia
Goodbye Mr. Chips
E.T.
Forrest Gump
The Fugitive
The Karate Kid
Apollo 13
Rudy
Planet of the Apes
The Pink Panther
