Dividing characters in to good or bad is an ancient theme. Good guys are always pure, beautiful and heroes while bad guys are just evil. Same theme goes on and on in religion, mythologies, books, story's and films. I find it very tiresome! World is not only black and white. It has many colors and shapes too. You can not divide people in to only good or bad. Thats not realistic at all. In the real world we have a choice. Choice to be good or to be bad and that makes life interesting!
Its so easy to dislike truly evil character like Lord Voldemort but theres nothing interesting about that. Hes just evil.
I prefer that the movie makes me wonder what is behind the characters.
For example in Sergio Leone´s masterpiece The Good The Bad And The Ugly the characters are not purely good or bad or even ugly. My personal favourite is the evil Angel Eyes played by Lee Van Cleef.
But who is then my all time favourite movie villain? Dr. Evil from Austin Powers!
