The Ideal Movie.

In the ideal movie, the hero dies within the first 20 minutes, never to be seen again. He’s/She’s not brought back from the dead, nor is there any discussion about bringing him/her back from the dead. Dead is Dead.
The story would then shift to…notice I said “to” and not “back to” because if your going to “shift back to” something you should have just spared the confusion and the feeble suspense that the audience will no doubt feel and just tell the story in chronological order…the villain of the tale. From there the movie will centralize around the motives of the villain and their reasoning for killing the hero/heroine. A cloud of doubt will slowly be formed over the whole “good-guy and bad-guy” ideal, as it is revealed that the villain is actually a hero for his/her people, and the rest of the story is told from the perspective of the people whom the villain is a hero/heroine to and the original hero/heroine’s people are viewed as the bad-guys.
The movie would stress on the theme that there can exist no “good-side” without a “bad-side.” And it would also stress the importance of looking at a situation from the other perspective, how the “bad-guys” see a situation. There is a reason for everything and admitting that a person or people are “the bad guys” just because that’s who your fighting makes you the bad guy because your ignorance makes you dupable.
The movie would end with the original hero/heroine’s people killing the original villain, and the two sides’ people engage into an epic battle, with many being killed. The final scene of the movie would be a new “good-guy” hero and a new “bad-guy” villain emerge from the battle and meet face to face, their clashing weapons being the last moment of film, signifying that there will always be a dark-side so long as light is there to cast shadows.
