Ed Norton in Primal Fear. And Josh Hartnett in Lucky Number Slevin (Though I'm not sure he really counts as the bad guy here).
@jarrodbright523124 күн бұрын
The Wrong Man / Lucky Number Slevin was a revenge movie disguised as a romantic comedy. Slevin was the protagonist of both but that doesn't make him a bad guy despite revenge movies often following a morally questionable character. Primal Fear is probably one of the best examples though.

But with Goodfellas, if you didn't know the story of Henry Hill and watched it blind like that, it's a major twist at the end that he rats out the other guys and goes into witness protection. Because his "character" seems like the last guy to ever do so because he loved the life so much.

I’d throw in another Johnny Depp performance - as Mort Rainy in Secret Window. An overlooked film that has you right behind Depp all the way. So much so that when the twist is finally revealed it’s still had to actually turn on him.

These may be 10 smart movies, but there are more than 10. The late 60s and early 70s had many movies that had us rooting for bad guys. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, Charley Varrick, Cool Hand Luke just to name a few.

Hard Candy should not be on this list. There is no sympathy for Child Rapists. And all the little boys being triggered by acknowledging Elliot Page by his name - You are entitled to your opinion, but that doesn’t make your opinion right.
@kelleyk2817 күн бұрын
But that doesn't make your opinion right either. Calling him by the name he used when he was in that movie is less confusing. I had no idea he changed his name until 2 years ago, since I don't watch TV or the news. Elliot was not his name in Hard Candy. Doesn't matter why he changed it, the fact is, he was Ellen then. Calling him Ellen when talking about any movie he does now, would be disrespectful.

I think that filmgoers were familiar enough with Annakin and Hannibal to know already they were watching the bad guy. Likewise with PUBLIC ENEMIES which wasn't the first biopic of Dillinger. It was Ellen Page in HARD CANDY, not Elliot in drag; don't pretend you knew what was coming.

@jarrodbright523124 күн бұрын
As a close relative of a trans person who has transitioned, it is normal for a trans person to refer to something done under their former identity as being done by their former name so you would generally be correct here. Probably best to go with the individual's stated preference however - I don't pay much attention to Page since he has dropped out of the spotlight since transitioning but unless he's stated his preference I'd go with the name on the movie's credits.

I never saw Hard Candy, but I did see The Woodsman with Kevin Bacon, and he did an excellent job portraying someone what was disgusted with himself, and it did create some empathy for his character... from me at least. I've talked to others about the movie and they did not feel the same way. :D
