10 Important Life Lessons Learned From Every Movie Ever
6. People With Deformities Are ALWAYS Evil
Films move at such speed that information often needs to be compressed, and there is no better visual shorthand than being able to tell who’s evil simply by looking at them.
Generally speaking, good-looking people don’t play villains, or if they do, they’ll play it with buck teeth, a bad wig and facial scars, just so the audience knows they’re evil. Failing that, you can always cast someone with an actual disfigurement. You know, for authenticity.
When real-life burn victim Richard Lynch appears in Invasion USA, you know he’s going to spend the whole movie trying to kill Chuck Norris, but in order for there to be no doubt, his character is introduced killing a roomful of business associates. For good measure, he also throws a black woman through a window.
