Media Studies

Alfred Hitchcock said, the better the villain, the better the film. If cinema has been a mirror to our times, the characters that populate one are reflections of us- the manifestations of our times. The antagonists in cinema are all that we dread and fear presented in different degrees of hyperbole, and to unswervingly desire and cheer their downfall at the hands has been an enduring appeal of cinema.
