Class and Virtue

I do not believe people actually really think about what kind of class a person have in a movie, they really just go to watch it and that will be the end of that. Many people probably do notice the virtues which define a good guy from a bad one, but its a common thing so no one really think about it when though they sees it.

I think that in movies, I think it really depends on who the people is about that states the class. Unlike what the essay mention, it is not always the upper or higher-middle class that are always the hero and the bad guys are always the lower bottom classes. Take Land of the Dead, the story takes a different turn. The multi-millionaire (high upper class) Mr. "K" is the villain. I do agree that most movies are basic on middle class because they are usually always the viewer, since they actually have the money and the time to watch them.

Anyone can point out the hero/heroine of a movie by their virtue if they know what the film is about. Take for example if it is a about a character who grew up in a class struggling family, you will define her bad living which will make her a heroine. When you know that the upper class who is against her, you will define the high class standard living as being traits of the villain(s).

Class and virtue of a main character depends on what the plot or storyline of the movie.
