“Two different people”: how different a movie character can be at the beginning and end of the film (11 photos)

The film is not just a story that moves evenly and gradually from exposition to epilogue. The director and screenwriter are trying to ensure that the viewer not only watches, but “lives” the film and changes along with the main character. At the very beginning you can be a carefree teenager, and closer to the credits - an emaciated old man. The journey of becoming a hero is the most important part of the story. The American scientist Joseph Campbell even dedicated a book to this - “The Hero with a Thousand Faces”. This work has become a reference book for many famous screenwriters and directors. But the person on the other side of the screen will also be interested in getting to know it. While you're looking for a book, let's see how much a movie character can differ at the beginning and end of the film.
