Character Titles

Protagonists. Antagonists. I believe that these two words are the most commonly used when it comes to describe a character role in stories or movies.

Ever heard of deuteragonists? Tritagonists?

A Deuteragonist is the second most important character (aka sidekick). And as for the Tritagonist, it's referring to the third most important character (example: Hermione Granger).

Well most stories are often straight forward. There is only one Protagonist. Rarely the story takes so much a twist and turn that it has more than 1 Protagonist.

Oh but there is one...

Dallas Buyers Club

Now a lot of people out there are sad that Leonardo Di Caprio did not win the Oscars. Because they did not pay attention to the other contenders.

Personally I'd say that Chiwetel Ejiofor would have trumped over Di Caprio. But Matthew McConaughey deserves his Oscar based on his best actor part for Dallas Buyers Club.

What it really taught me was, Woodroof lived his life by all means, finding ways to extend his life to more than the 30 days the doctor has given him to live. He lived to a total of 7 years (that's so much more than the predicted death). I said so before on my fb status:"One of the great delights of life is to rewrite your limits, proving your doubters wrong in the process."

Best quote of the movie?

"Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting for a life I ain't got time to live."


Try watching most of the nominated films if you do have the chance. Not only do they provide great entertainment, it is the after effect and feeling of the movie that makes a 2 hours plus of movie something not just purely for fun, but also imparting a deep message that we could all use to live on.
