"When it comes to films, people often don't differentiate between the message of a bad central character and the message of the film itself. They are two separate things"

- Christian Bale

About this Quote

This quote by Christian Bale speaks to the importance of understanding the distinction between the message of a film and the message of its protagonist. It is simple to confuse the two, as the protagonist of a movie usually acts as the main resource of the film's message. Nonetheless, it is very important to remember that the message of a film is not necessarily the like the message of its protagonist. The protagonist may be flawed or immoral, yet the film itself may still have a positive message. For instance, a film might have a protagonist who is a criminal, but the movie's message might have to do with the repercussions of criminal activity or the significance of justice. It is very important to acknowledge the difference in between the message of a movie and also the message of its protagonist in order to completely appreciate the film's message.
