1) Good vs Evil
In the movie Bumblebee, a good character is Bumblebee because it is innocent and has a genuine act. Bumblebee has no memories of his past, Charlie electroshocks Bumblebee back to life, restoring his memories, causing him to attack and drive off Burns' obstruction. At the same time, Bumblebee is very keen on protecting his secrets especially Optimus Prime. Bumblebee never insisted, to tell the truth about Optimus Prime’s location when Shatter and Dropkick forced to tell so. Bumblebee even wanted to sacrifice himself to save others. Next, the evil character of this movie is the two primary antagonists which are the red Shatter and the blue Dropkick who are Decepticon Triple Changers sent by an off-screen Megatron to find Bumblebee and wring out of him the location of Optimus Prime and the other Autobots.
2) Justice vs Injustice
Next, coming for injustice movies mainly focusing on The Purge where you have one night to kill anybody you want and the government does not hand in any help until its 7am in the morning. This movie has given such a big impact among people because murders are not justified. In this movie, people who do not have the intention to kill or being killed protect themselves in their own residence. However, this movie also has justice values where some people do protect each other. For example, in the Last Election of Purge movie, a lady and her daughter drove an ambulance during the Purge to save people who are injured. In fact, there were some NGOs’ that have a hidden basement to treat all the innocent injured people.
3) Truth vs Falsehood
Moving on, truth and falsehood mostly come up in movies about disaster and fantasy. Truth is where it has the possibilities to happen and at the same time it hardly convinces people that it will happen. For example, a 2012 movie where the world was shocked and had the fear that the world might end. Many people made assumptions and convinced people that disaster might happen but eventually, we know that nothing occurs in a short time. Another example is the Jurassic Park movie. Creating dinosaurs in the 20th century is impossible yet the movie proved it that they can make various types of dinosaurs and even made an attraction spot for adults and kids. We accepted that it is the truth and at the same time, it does not make sense and it is impossible.
4) Love vs Hate
When it comes to a movie, drama, or series, one of the most important genres that the audience would choose is love and very rare of the audience tend to watch movies that consist of hate but directors made both love and hate beautiful in movies. One of the best examples of a movie that has love and hate value is The Beauty and The Beast. As we know, this movie has two different roles, Bella who enjoys spreading love while Beast who has grudges with himself for being cursed by a witch and that makes a wild beast who hates humans. However, love can cure anything they said and that is how Bella changed the Beast and found the real him.
5) Internal satisfaction vs Material acquisition
Movies are all about the entertaining audiences and giving audiences the satisfaction but some movie/drama directors direct pictures for their own satisfaction in the name of politics, fame and to maintain good relationships with the producers. They take movies which do not satisfy the audience and at the same time the directors gain money and fame.
6) Immediate Satisfaction vs Delayed Gratification
Every directors’ dream is to achieve great satisfaction from the audience and most importantly self-satisfaction. Immediate satisfaction where they get the immediate results in the movie while delayed gratification is where the movie cast gets the good value or result later on where their good deed will be thanked and accepted at the end. For example, Endhiran The Robo movie, where the bad robot gets immediate satisfaction after destroying the city and hacking all the system while there is another scene where the good robot wanted to lend help in doing labor for a woman who is suffering in delivering the baby. At the moment, all the doctors were afraid and did not have faith that the mission would fail but the good robot saved both daughter and child.
