A guy went through the whole movie and pointed out how Johnny never actually instigated any incident in the movie. I remember he pointed out the Halloween beat down on Daniel never would have happened had he not dumped hose water on Johnny. Johnny will always be the good guy to me.

In A Hard Day's Night The Beatles sadistically harass a stuffy bourgeois commuter on the train, showing how hip & rebellious they are



Later we learn the man is a WWII veteran. John tells him smirkingly, "I bet you're sorry you won."



From the first time I saw AHDN in my teens, this scene bothered me. And the older I get, the more I sympathize with the target of the abuse.

I wonder if the Beatles themselves ever had misgivings about this scene.

No way. One of Lennon's big things that he never changed over time was telling the older generation that just because they had to live through the war didn't mean the younger generation needed to be punished for it. He very much intentionally rebelled against it.

I somehow missed out on this thread before making my Defend a Villain thread six months later.

my vote goes to Mr Nolan & Mr Perry in Dead Poets Society

this movie is an all-time top five for me, although my perspective has changed as i have gone from a seventeen year old who loved this movie to a forty-five year old who loves this movie. Mr Perry didnt send Neil to an expensive prep school to become a goofy starry-eyed wannabe actor (who, given the time period, would have likely ended up a dirty hippie). He sent him to Whelton to prepare him for college and medical school. And Mr Nolan was in charge of the school who was paid handsomely to accomplish that task. Nothing either of them did was malicious or evil - Mr Perry was acting in what he believed was the best interest of Neil, and Mr Nolan was acting in the best interest of both the school and the parents.

Was Mr Keating the villain? Also, no. He was upfront about who he was and what he was all about from the start. I think there is a ton of good in studetns of the hard sciences also learning the arts and becoming a more well rounded person. He told Neil that he had to be honest with his father about his aspirations Bad advice? Maybe. But it was never Mr Keating's intention for Neil to directly disobey his father's wishes.

In conclusion, there really WAS no real villain in this show. It was just a tragic story.

Kevin Bacon's character in White Water Summer.

He was a good dude trying to impart knowledge and wisdom to troubled kids. Sean Astin's character was a little shitstain. frick that kid.
