“Google, discrete on its source, defines an antihero as a central character in a story, movie, or drama who lacks conventional heroic attributes. In Wallflower, u0026#39;lacksu0026#39; is a misnomer, lacking – unironically – the villainous amorality shown by the pro, sorry…. antognist of the film. The example illustrates better: u0026quot;with the age of the antihero, baddies and goodies became less distinguishable from one anotheru0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film has artistic merit. No qualms there. But letu0026#39;s face it… plenty of people have engaged in violence as a form of artistic expression. Whether itu0026#39;s Hitleru0026#39;s paintings or Trumpu0026#39;s tweets, Iu0026#39;d still prefer to spend my time gazing on a tortured soulu0026#39;s attempt at expression over a villainu0026#39;s version of u0026quot;artu0026quot;. Put more directly, given the choice between good and evil, the writer choices ambiguity, but loses touch with morality in the process.”
