3. The ‘angry young man’ is a very stereotypical protagonist found in character
based films. In the broadest sense we have also created this persona of the
‘angry young man’ but have broken conventions in the presentation of said
persona.
John is angry and always has been, he is not sure why but he knows it is due to
the presence of other humans, and having to co-exist alongside them. Unlike
other ‘angry young men’ John is not anti-social in the sense that he is opposing
the constraints of society but he is anti-personnel as he positively detests all
other members of society.

5. OUR ANTI-HERO
Our anti-hero is similar and very different to stereotypical comparisons. John has a
cause and that is to escape from human society, through financial aid received from
his deceased Grandmother. His cause is out of the norm, and his loathing of human
kind is of an anti-hero nature. However we believe it will be difficult for the audience
to establish a link with John, as he is positively repulsive and fear inspiring, in his
casuallack of empathy and twisted delusions.
