What are some of the worst ancient villains?

What movie villains who, despite their bad intentions, have you empathized with during the course of the movie?

  • What movie villains who, despite their bad intentions, have you empathized with during the course of the movie? I could understand where Don Barzini was coming from in The Godfather. The mafia is in the business of selling products in the black market and, during that time, heroin was a potential huge money making business for the mob. His actions were despicable--such as planting a car bomb to kill Michael but instead wound up killing his new bride Apollonia and turning Salvatore Tessio against Michael Corleone for their supposed truce meeting--but I can understand the method to his madness. Another villain where I can understand his motives would be Frank Lucas in American Gangster. Lucas, when he moved up the ladder after Bumpy Johnson died, made his business a family business and had members of his own family involved in the Blue Magic business. Lucas is no different than any other American entrepreneur when it comes to selling products and making a profit.

  • Answer:

    Derek Vinyard- now I despise his intentions as a skinhead. They are cowards and scum. But he obviously was genuine in his intention to change, but it was too late. And that last scene is heartbreaking. ben affleck- the town- wanted to get out of that life but it kept pulling him back in.

Prince Nuada (Hellboy II The Golden Army) I was really impressed by his Warrior's code of honor, his elvish battle style, but what got me the most was his philosophy. You see the movie came out exactly at the time when I made some interesting friends, some Neo-Nazi friends, I said that when I look at what white man has created and if I look at blondes for too long I'm gonna grow an inferiority complex (I'm not of Arien race lol, I'm something they call "darky"). After that we had some interesting discussions on how an Arien god-man, btw, they hate political correctness - no person thing, no humankind, it's always MAN, MANKIND, so Arien god-man is nothing now and why's that, and why the wicked rule the Earth and the noble Arien gods are forced to live in the social underground and how the Nazi Germany of the 30s was the time of real MEN and real WOMEN, and how now it's just the wicked rotting amoral herd and nothing else. Prince Nuada is crying about the same thing - once mighty noble race of Elves ruled the Earth, but now Humankind seized the power and the noble Elves have to go underground, Prince Nuada literally lives in the subway, the Elvish King lives in some factory basement, Elves are humiliated and brought down, but their warrior nature can't settle down on this, and Prince Nuada decides to rise and wage war on Humankind to restore justice. He deserves his own movie, the best character ever created.

Tamara Nartichti

Michael Corleone Travis Bickle- rooted for him the whole movie Morgan Freeman in Gone Baby Gone Sonny- Dog Day Afternoon Max Cady- Cape Fear

De Niro in Heat Red Mist in Kick-@ss (it doesn't help that I love Chris Mintz-Plasse lol) The humans in Avatar. I didn't really symphasize with them, I just wanted those blue things dead from the start of the movie. Why turn a perfectly hot guy into some blue giant? Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects. It's not like you knew he was the bad guy from the beginning, but I liked him so even when I found out he was bad I still liked him.

Hal 9000 in 2001. actually, I'm always kindof shocked when they list him as a villain. He was just fighting for survival. that red eye was more empathetic than Dave who was always cold and emotionless. But...that's the point.

LilyRT

Robert deniro in =Heat=

Johnny Johnson

Cillian Murphy's character in Red Eye. That's basically because I hates the female's character in that movie, and thought she was very unrealistic, and stupid. And Ripner should have killed her.

Amon Goeth in "Schindler's List," who discovers that as much as he wants to be like Schindler - charismatic, merciful, beloved - he simply cannot resist being the sadistic person he is.
