Uncover the Shocking Screenwriting Blunder That Threatens This Movie’s Classic Status!
One of the more interesting examples of an active main character is The Big Lebowski. The Dude wants money for his rug that was ruined. This guy lives the most passive life ever. He just wants to be left alone or to hang out and chill. But the Coen Brothers knew that if they made The Dude passive IN THEIR PLOT, the movie would be cooked. So Jeffrey Lebowski becomes the most active passive character ever.
Something to keep in mind is that there are movies that don’t have that “adventure” blueprint. The characters are confined to one area. But that doesn’t mean you get left off the “active protagonist” hook. You still need an active character. And all that means is that, even if they’re stuck in a single spot, they STILL MUST WANT SOMETHING WITH ALL OF THEIR BEING. That’s what makes them active. It’s what’s going on INSIDE OF THEM. Not outside.
