It’s said in the film that we can’t point out all our fingers to one “bad guy “. I also applaud the look of the villain in this film . Ares wasn’t just a stereotypical villain , who suppose to be more violent, bigger and appears to be more powerful than the protagonist of the film . But we have someone as a villain Ares who looks unassuming but who is infinitely powerful . We don’t come to see the villain who’s usually really muscular and that becomes the main point of his villain nature.
It is very striking that how all the characters of this film are talking about the war as they are saying that “ The war which we are going to fight will end all the wars. “ And it was very honest sentiment of people during the First World War . When, in the film Diana fights with Ares , the first thing to go with her is her sword and about that sword she believed that it was a God killer. Specially the sword is a classic symbol of conflict , violence, war and the sword

    The very best films, indubitably, are those which entice our intellectual capacities, enrich our understanding as to the inexplicable depths of the human condition, and broaden our comprehension of the ideas which underpin society. The 1981 film, Gallipoli, is a stunning example of such a possibility with its authentic and compelling portrayal of warfare and propaganda. Through the employment of a myriad of visual and verbal techniques, Peter Weir (the director) is able to develop the film’s key ideas - the waste of life and potential through warfare and the potency of war propaganda - in order to convey messages of great value to the audience. Contextually speaking, Gallipoli is set in 1915 amidst the First World War. The ideals which were…

    How carefully she will look after you. She will never allow you to be tired, to sit in a draught, to neglect your food. If you are an hour late, she will be terrified. She will think you are killed, or that some siren has caught you. When the old man says that Diana won’t neglect Alan and will be so jealous when he’s late he’s saying that she’ll live only for Alan’s purpose and whims, that’s a clearly evidence of a sexist position and a patriarchal ideology which considers man as superior to women.…

    Villains are an interesting bunch in that the same person can be seen as both minor/major, or helpful/dangerous. I guess the same could be said about heroes though. Chuck Klosterman, a best selling author, wrote an essay titled “Electric Funeral,” a chapter of I Wear the Black Hat: Grappling with Villains (Real and Imagined), which details villains of today-different types of technocrats. The three “villains” he mainly focuses on are Perez Hilton, Kim Dotcom, and Julian Assange, who each vary greatly on the spectrum of their acts. Hilton is a blogger who likes to post photoshopped pictures and articles, Dotcom created Megaupload, a website to post copyrighted material illegally, and Assange is the head creator of WikiLeaks.…

    In life, villains ought to be avoided; in fiction, they are simply unavoidable. Without a villain getting in the hero’s way, there would be no conflict, and a story with no conflict would not be much of a story. Great villains can have a significant effect on the value of their stories, but what makes a great villain? One example is Felix from the novel Keepers of Light by Christine Barnaby, whose frightening appearance, awful misdeeds, and opposition to the hero make him an ideal villain. Barnaby’s descriptions of Felix paint him as a horrifying creature.…
