Recommended: A Struggle Between Good and Evil

In Suicide Squad, the author uses the archetypes Good vs. Evil,tyrant, hero, mentor, and the traitor to reveal that we as humans fall to evil when we are independent, but we can accomplish more if we work as a team for good instead of evil. We can relate to this theme in the movie when the villains were evil by themselves, but they collaborated to use their power for good. This Theme relates to the whole story.
At the beginning of Suicide Squad, the members of the squad were evil for their own benefit. For example, Deadshot wanted money for not killing others, but he shot them anyway even while getting paid. What Deadshot didn’t take into consideration was that he will go to jail. He thought he could run away from the cops but he got caught.

    The 1992 film Unforgiven, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, has a central theme that is one of good versus evil in which good overcomes evil by bringing justice to those who are evil. Munny has changed from the vicious murderer he was in the past and now wishes to bring justice to evil men who harmed the innocent prostitute Delilah and his friend Ned. The film is not quite the traditional Western film by any means as Eastwood’s character Will Munny has not always been a moral man. Nevertheless, Will Munny through the use of violence sets out to balance out the battle of good and evil by seeing that evil men get what is coming to them, even though Munny is no saint himself.

    Good and evil can be summed up as a difference between rational and irrational thoughts, with the former being related to “good” and the ladder to “evil”. This is a view shared by Immanuel Kant and his Categorical Imperative. In the movie Schindler’s List, we are presented with two individuals, Oskar Schindler, who by the end of the movie displays characteristics of a man following rational thoughts, doing acts that he would want to become universal maxims. On the other end of the spectrum, we have Amon Goeth. Goeth follows his irrational thoughts, using the Jewish people as a means for his own ends.

    The classical model also stresses conflict between antagonist and protagonist, the protagonist instigating action and the antagonist’s resistance to it, with the protagonist winning. (360) When Keaton fires the cannon, he initiates conflict between himself and the Union soldiers. The Union train outrunning Keaton’s cannonballs and placing traps is the antagonist resisting the protagonist. Since Keaton does not resolve the conflict immediately, instead requiring several cannon shots, the audience is drawn into their conflict, hoping Keaton will slow down the Union train and save his love, in spite of the obstacles. The audience is invested in determining the chase’s outcome, because there is always another blockage, another conflict, keeping them engaged in the chase and supporting the protagonist’s

Good does not always prevail over evil. This is exceptionally true in the movie No Country for Old Men by the Coen brothers. The dominant theme in the Coen brother’s movie is evil.

    They say vengeance will rupture the heart and haunt a man’s conscience. If there’s any truth to it, then with certainty it can be stated that that the path pf revenge is a truly unethical one.Just as there are two sides to everyone’s story, there are two sides to each person involved…one that that is exposed to the light of day and one that is kept in the dark.Within each human is the capacity for both good and evil.In revenge, as in life, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

    The wills of humans are either good or evil. However, evil is defined in several manners in that it begins to have different meanings for everyone. In addition, evil cannot be defined without defining good. Therefore, there must be boundaries declared for evil and good. Evil is when someone takes a stance on making a decision. A decision where the person has an option of harming themselves or someone else in the present or in the future. While good is when someone makes a decision that does not harm anyone or themselves in present or future. Although some may consider thoughts to be evil, it is not until someone follows through and turns them into a reality that has negative effect on anyone’s present or future.

    There is a system that can pre-determine the human behaviour and their place in society, but there are those who provide argument that this method of assessing the human nature of any individual is not correct. The characters from the actual squad in the film Suicide Squad (2016) are described as criminals because of biological determinism, regardless of the external factors. However, this is not an entirely correct way of labelling these people because biological determinism can also classify others in a way that creates inequality, but several scientific research has favoured biological determinism. This is because certain environmental circumstances can affect groups of individuals, which would be unfair because this would establish a view

He writes that movies such as Bonnie and Clyde (1967), The Godfather (1972), and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) paved the way for this new concept of villains as heroes, where the leaders, law, and justice system are corrupt and full of greed. This style of using an unlikely hero is present in Showtime’s hit series, named after...
