10 Great Movies In Which The Bad Guy Actually Wins
It's rare to get a good movie in which the bad guy actually wins at the end. Most of the time the hero of the story wins, because that's what most general audiences want to see in a story. Sometimes life isn't fair like that, though; sometimes the good guys lose, but it still makes for a great story!
Screenrant has released a great video that highlights ten great films where the villain wins. Some of the films listed in the video include: The Empire Strikes Back, The Dark Knight, No Country For Old Men, The Silence of the Lambs, The Usual Suspects, Seven, Captain America: Civil War, and more. Here's the description that came with the video:
Typically in Hollywood movies, no matter what kind of obstacles are thrown in the hero’s way, they find a way to come out on top. James Bond always lives to fight another day, Superman sends Lex Luthor to jail, and the crew of the Starship Enterprise goes off on another mission through the Final Frontier. As feel-good as this can be, it does run the risk of getting stale, and sometimes the filmmakers have to mix things up. Every once in a while, the villain gets the upper hand to make life truly miserable for the protagonist and leave audiences feeling dire. Here are 10 famous movies where the bad guy actually wins.
