Antiheroes In Movies That We Can’t Help But Love
Mr. White – Reservoir Dogs
Mr. White plays with the audience’s emotions throughout the entirety of Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs. From the beginning, it’s clear that he’s not a good person and only hints at any goodness within him. Other than that, he’s a cold-hardened criminal that doesn’t think twice to kill if it means getting the job done. However, his morality is revealed when a job goes south and he’s willing to protect and comfort a dying partner that he doesn’t even know. He even goes so far as to risk his life for him in the end. However, upon realizing that the man he was taking care of is an undercover cop, he kills him himself. Although it’s a whirlwind of a character arch, his actions make Mr. White one of (if not the most) amiable character of the film.
