Will Not Be a Victim: Difference between revisions

Line 27:

* In the Japanese live action version of the manga ''[[Hana Yori Dango]]'', the heroine, Makino Tsukushi, delivers a solid punch to the jaw of Domyouji Tsukasa, the spoiled, sadistic BMOC of Eitoku High School and its clique of ultra-rich hot guys, The Flower Four. No one dares to cross the F4 for fear of retaliation, but Tsukushi -- who the F4, particularly Domyouji, have been picking on mercilessly for weeks -- refuses to play the victim anymore and declares war. This could be considered a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], except it happens so early in the story that there is much more awesome to follow!

** In the Korean live action version of the same manga, entitled ''[[Boys Over Flowers]]'', Geum Jan Di, the heroine, opts to deliver a spinning kick to Gu Jun Pyo's face instead of a punch. It is equally made of awesome.

* In ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'', Andy Dufresne is often beaten and raped by a group called the Sisters. {{spoiler|When he fights back, the leader says, "[[You Got Spunk|Yes, you fight, I like that!]]", and [[It Got Worse]]. Red says that "I wish I could say that Andy fought the good fight and they left him alone, but life is not a fairy tale".}} What saves Andy isn't his brawn or openly refusing to be a victim, but rather his knowledge and his ability to work with others. {{spoiler|He gains favor with the guards by helping them with taxes and wins the support of other prisoners by getting them beer. The lead guard finds out about the Sisters and [[No Holds Barred Beatdown|beats the hell out of the leader]], leaving him permanently crippled}}. Only then do the Sisters finally leave Andy alone.
