The Megahit Movies Ezine - The Protagonist
by Webmaster 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

{http://www.TheMegahitMovies.com} Each issue of the ezine will present a topic about the story design of popular movies. * The Megahit Movies Ezine - The Protagonist* The* protagonist* is the main character of the story. He/She/It is the character with whom the audience must bond and have the most empathy. The audience should identify with the point-of-view of the protagonist. It is his primary objective that becomes the story objective. Whether he can achieve this goal becomes the concern of the audience. Perseverance and will power are the most important personality traits that a protagonist must possess. He must have an unshakable commitment to his primary objective. He also must be sincere and believe in the rightness of what he is doing. While he may have moments of self-doubt, he overcomes them and continues pursuing his objective. He must have sufficient will to overcome all the obstacles that he will confront while pursuing his objective. He needs this strength to engage in the climactic battle with the antagonist. A character who gives up too easily would not be able to withstand attacks from the antagonist and his supporters. The protagonist must have the strength and stamina to carry the fight to its conclusion. Not all of the protagonists are male. Some, like Rose in /Titanic,/ are female, and some, like Nemo, Shrek, the Grinch, Sulley, E.T. and Simba, are non-human. The strength that the protagonists needs is not always physical strength, as shown by the examples of Elliott, E.T., Frodo, Harry Potter, Cole Sears, and Kevin. What they have is the commitment to accomplish their goals. Their lives and the lives of the ones they love, if not the very existence of the world, often depend on them achieving their goals. The protagonist is the character who makes most of the major decisions in the story. The choices and actions that he makes during conflicts reveal his values. These values will help him achieve his objective. While most of the popular films have only one protagonist, some have a protagonist with dual personalities. Batman (Crime Fighter and Reclusive Millionaire), Indiana Jones (Adventurer and University Professor), Spider-Man (Crime Fighter and High School student), and Bruce Almighty (TV Reporter-God for a week) are examples of this. These protagonists are more intriguing for the audience and help them fantasize that they also could possibly live a secret adventurous life. This increases the audiences identification with and empathy for the protagonist. In /E.T.,/ both Elliott and E.T. share the role of the protagonist. This is essential for a story in which the feelings, emotions, and thoughts of two characters merge through telepathic communication. This technique helps to explain the success of the film, because merging the two characters into a double protagonist doubles the audiences empathy for the protagonist and increases the audiences concern for the storys outcome. The films that have a protagonist without a dual personality usually also have protagonist supporters with whom the audience can have sympathy. This sympathy is then transferred to the protagonist. Examples of this can be found in /Star Wars/ (Yoda, Han Solo, and Chewbacca), /Shrek /(Donkey), and in /Monsters, Inc. /(Mike). Some films have more than one protagonist. This expands the scope of audience identification. J and K are the dual protagonists in /Men in Black, /Nemo and Marlin in /Finding Nemo/. /Pirates of the Caribbean/ has three protagonists:/ /Liz, Will Turner, and Jack Sparrow. / Independence Day/ has four characters who share the protagonist function: Captain Steve Hiller, David Levinson, President Tom Whitmore and Russell Casse. Below are the protagonists in the megahit movies: / Titanic/: Rose / Star Wars/: Luke Skywalker / E.T./ : Elliott and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial / The Phantom Menace/: Anakin Skywalker / Spider-Man/: Peter Parker (Spider-Man) / Lord of the Rings- Return of the King /: Frodo / Jurassic Park/: Dr. Alan Grant / Forrest Gump/: Forrest Gump / Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone/: Harry Potter / Lord of the Rings-The Fellowship of the Rings/: Frodo / The Lion King/: Simba/ Lord of the Rings-The Two Towers/: Frodo / Finding Nemo/: Marlin and Nemo / Return of the Jedi/: Luke Skywalker / Independence Day /: Captain Steve Hiller, David Levinson, Tom Whitmore, Russell Casse / Star Wars-Attack of the Clones/: Young Darth Vader / The Sixth Sense/: Cole Sear / Star Wars-Empire Strikes Back/: Luke Skywalker / Pirates of the Caribbean/: Liz, Will, and Jack / Home Alone/: Kevin / Matrix Reloaded/: Neo / Shrek/: Shrek / Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets/: Harry Potter / Jaws/: Police Captain Martin Brody / How the Grinch Stole Christmas/: The Grinch / Monsters, Inc./: Sulley / Batman/: Bruce Wayne (Batman) / Men In Black/: J and K * The Megahit Movies Book* The new 500+ page edition analyzes *The Megahit Movies*, those films which have generated more than $250 million in North American Box Office receipts. It presents principles of story construction that can be used to develop popular movies by providing an analysis of cinematic techniques. It also offers stimulating ideas that can be helpful in the creative process. The book is designed for writers, directors and producers who want to create commercially successful films. The fundamentals of dramatic structure, the human emotions, and the construction of humorous characters and situations are explained, with examples drawn from some of the most popular motion pictures Hollywood has ever produced. The Foreword to the book is written by *Christopher Lockhart, Executive Story Editor, International Creative Management (ICM)* in which he discusses what Hollywood Producers, Agents and Studios are looking for when reading screenplays. Analysis of recent megahit-blockbuster movies such as *SHREK 2, SPIDER-MAN 2, HARRY POTTER, BRUCE ALMIGHTY, MATRIX TRILOGY, FINDING NEMO, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN and THE LORD OF THE RINGS* *Click here to Purchase The Megahit Movies Book* {http://www.TheMegahitMovies.com/ordermeg.htm} *RMS Story & Screenplay Consultations* *A personal consultation on your original screenplay!* Once you purchase this package, you will be permitted to submit a 120 page original screenplay.
