Line 165:
* ''[[The Matrix]]'' films has the protagonists perfectly willing to kill innocent civilians in their war against the machines, arguing that [[With Us or Against Us|anyone who isn't actively supporting them is the enemy]], which is, in essence, the philosophy of every terrorist organization.
** This wasn't an accidental implication. The makers MEANT for the audience to doubt as too who the "good guys" are in the movies. They also clearly modelled the "freedom fighters" after a terrorist group; this point is even mentioned in the movies.
* In the novel ''[[Dracula]]'' the titular vampire is a sexual predator and metaphorical rapist. In almost every adaptation he is [[Promoted to Love Interest]] for Mina. That's right--the movies take Mina, a strong, [[Happily Married]] female character, and turn her into a [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]] who is in love with her (metaphorical) rapist.
* The Irish short film "What Would You Do" has all the good characters with definite pronounced Irish names (Saoirse, Sean, Aoife, Roisin) while the evil [[Alpha Bitch]] has an English name (Jessica).
