What are the best Revenge movies ever made? Revenge is the second strongest feeling in this world after love. It can force you to go to any extent that you can not even imagine. Our history is full of real life revenge stories. In fact many popular epics such as Mahabharata, Ramayana, Homer’s Odyssey and Shakespeare’s Hamlet have somehow revenge added into them that serves as the basis of the main story. Hollywood has also used the revenge theme widely in its movies. If you take a look on the greatest movies ever made you will find that many of the movies have revenge theme in them. It is not necessary that revenge is the main theme of film, it may act as a critical layer of the major complex plot.
Most of the revenge movies have their plot divided into two parts. One parts tells the reason why the character was forced to take revenge while the other part focuses on the method the revenge was executed. The common plot among revenge movies is that one or more family member (or loved one) of the protagonist is killed by the antagonist which led the hero/heroine to take revenge from the evil. To make the plot more appealing and complex, sometimes even the protagonist is left to die by the antagonist. The beauty of good revenge films is that they quickly and easily get attached to the audience. The viewers are emotionally moved and are often sympathetic towards the lead character.
The negative side of revenge films is that they are often disturbing and controversial. They might even leave the audience traumatized and scared. Some critics have even panned such films to promote violence. Most of the revenge movies are full of blood and gore which is not liked by every one. But still film makers thinks that the more brutal the revenge will be the more appealing the film will be. Revenge films have many ups and downs, that is why not every director tries hand in pure revenge films.
Here we have selected 70 best revenge movies that you should watch:
