From ‘The Fifth Element’ to ‘Star Wars’ through ‘Pocahontas’, here’s a look at 5 feature films where the main character and the big bad never speak to each other.
Even if in most feature films we can see them crossing swords, fighting on top of a building or competing in a boxing ring, sometimes it happens that the main character and the big bad of the film never speak to each other, or even cross paths. Go back to 5 examples in cinema where heroes and villains collide without actually meeting.
Pocahontas
John Ratcliffe, the great villain of the Disney classic, really stays behind his barricades most of the time, and it’s only at the end of the film that he steps outside the camp and stays at an Indian princess’s distance.
the fifth Element
That’s why he never crosses paths with Corben Dallas (Bruce Willis), who tries to thwart his plans from afar, but is actually just one of his many employees.
Star Wars (Episode IV – A New Hope)
A young farmer, played by Mark Hamill, who dreams of becoming a pilot, is still light years away from realizing that the Sith Lord is none other than his father. Despite everything, he faces the latter in the cockpit of his X-Wing at the end of the film, when the Rebel Alliance launches an attack on the Death Star.
Brave Heart
On the plains of Stirling and then Falkirk, Wallace never ceases to challenge the enemy, but the two men do not exchange a single word throughout the film. At the end of the feature film, Edward I, lying on his deathbed, will at least hear the Scottish hero’s last cry for freedom before he dies.
Lord of the Rings
Of course, through the One Ring, which contains some of its power, the Dark Lord has already directly addressed Frodo, who is tasked with destroying the evil artifact by throwing it into the flames of Mount Doom.
But since Sauron never appears to him in physical form and never crosses his direct path, the hobbit never has a chance to answer him.
