Protagonists and Antagonists Compare and Contrast

We will be comparing the protagonists and antagonists from our film to those in Transporter 2. Protagonists: Our protagonist will be a police detective who uses more logic and patience to solve the problems, while Frank (the protagonist in Transporter 2) uses more violence and aggression to solve the problems in his film. They both wear smart clothes through the majority of the films even during more violent scenes.










However they have different reasons for solving the problems of the films, as the police detective will want to solve it as he has an ambitious desire for solving the mystery and protecting the rest of the male population from the antagonists, this reason fits with the conventions of a crime thriller. While in Transporter 2 Frank's reasons for wanting to solve the problem a more a for a character of the opposite who is in peril which drives him forwards. Antagonists: Our antagonists are two sisters who sleep with and then murder teenage boys for revenge and pleasure, typical of a crime thriller. The antagonist in Transporter 2 (Lola) uses guns and violence to prevent Frank from succeeding in his problems, typical of an action thriller. However Lola is under orders from a higher leader (Gianni) while the girls in our film are not under any orders. The girls in our film will wear more simple dark clothes with not much facial emotions, However Lola wears brighter clothes with a lot more emotion. In both films though the antagonists are enemies of male protagonists.
