Good Vs. Evil: How does film deal with these questions?

Good and evil doesn't necessarily have to fit the common view of a good or evil person. This is especially true in movies, and even some TV shows. A person who may appear to be an average decent person, can actually be doing terrible things. Likewise, a person who may appear to be like a mean or tough person may actually be the real good person. I agree with this statement from personal experience. There can be people who appear to be a legitimate person, but take a look at some things they do and right there you've caught onto something. When it comes to a person looking mean and tough, some of those people are actually very decent and good hearted people.

I believe that there is no way you can put everyone into the same category, especially because everyone is different. One example I'd like to use is the show 24, from one point of view Jack is seen as a criminal but in fact he is on the good guys side, infiltrating an evil organization. One character who was a secret service agent, had been killing people who were about to reveal what kind of work he actually was doing with a Militia organization. This example shows how a person who may look like the good person can actually be bad. From the movie Executive decision, Air force one was taken over by a number of armed men. Once again, one of the President's secret service had helped the group get on board the plane secretly. This agent had been working for the President for many years, but suddenly got a pay off by this particular group. This is why, in those types of positions you have to constantly make sure you have the right people working for you. Agents even keep and eye on each other to make sure there isn't any corruption or conspiracy's brewing up. So this is an example of a person who seems legit but actually is a major threat. One other thing, I'd like to point out is that even a superhero such as Batman uses violence to protect people from these villains. So people may argue that he is doing the same things as his enemies.

All the examples I provided are from movies or shows, but it even applies to real life when people are being mislead today. You don't really know a person, unless you get to know them. As I stated earlier, a person who may seem legit can actually be a very bad person, a person who may appear to be an individual you can't trust may be a person of good moral character. It may be even more obvious than that, such as a person who appears to be good and is completely legit. Even a person who appears to be bad can be bad. It wouldn't be smart to misjudge a person, unless you really look into it and find out or get to know them. Film is very good at portraying good and evil in different ways, and helps people look at the different ways good or evil can come.
