These villains made 2021 even more disturbing.
Villains in movies can often make or break a film. The relationship between the hero and villain becomes a key part of the narrative and a threatening, complex villain can easily take a film to the next level. In 2021, this was no different. Some of these villains are complex characters whose motivations make them commit unforgivable acts while others are just evil foes who love being evil.
President Orlean in Don’t Look Up There are a lot of villains in Don’t Look Up. Whether they mean to be or not, there are characters like Mark Rylance’s billionaire Peter Isherwell whose God-like ego places earth in even more danger, or Cate Blanchett’s Brie Evantee, a talk-show host who places money over reality. However, Meryl Streep as President Orlean steals the show and really encapsulates what is so frustrating about modern-day politicians and this also extends to her obnoxious son .
What makes Wenwu so interesting is that his motives aren’t simply out of evil or a lust for power. He is a man desperately in love and is even willing to fight his own children and sacrifice the rest of the world to find love once more. He is relentless and Leung’s performance makes Wenwu a threatening foe. His dynamic with Shang-Chi creates an emotional core that makes their final battle emotionally investing.
The rape scene is violent and disturbing, showing that le Gris is someone who takes whatever he wants and doesn’t consider Marguerite to be an equal, simply another object he wants to obtain. Ridley Scott’s decision to show the rape scene twice from two different perspectives really emphasizes how vicious this action was. From le Gris’ perspective, it’s still vile, however, the signals from Marguerite aren’t as extreme.
The Baroness in Cruella While Emma Stone shines as the classic Disney villain, Emma Thompson steals the show as The baroness, a wickedly evil fashion dynamo. The baroness is an incredibly wealthy woman who runs her own fashion empire with an iron fist. She shows almost no happiness and is snotty and pretentious.
