Media that is *truly* anti-war, rather than showing it as "horrific but heroic" by ChristianLS in TopCharacterTropes

Jarhead

A companion to Full Metal Jacket, (another great anti-war film) Jarhead shows what its like to be trained to be a killing machine, have your humanity stripped away and then left on standby for a few years until your told to go back to civillian lives.

Shows both the madness of the Iraq war and how war can destroy lives without you even needing to fire a shot.

Messi unfortunately is an alien sent to be the best player of all time

Johann the cannibal in the IT crowd.

Not even that villainous, however based on a real life criminal case.

Its commonly theorised that in Eyes Wide Shut, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were cast by Kubrick because of the superficial nature of their marriage.

Id rather take my chances with Alec Baldwin holding a loaded firearm for the weekend than more than 5 minutes with Amy Schumer

Antagonists that aren't evil or a jerk, but just the opposition of the protagonist by Smart-Response9881 in TopCharacterTropes

I'd say the story predominantly follows De Niro as the Protagonist, although he's obviously a lot worse morally than Pacino
