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
