Analysis of Action

This website basically explains an action formula seen in most action films. The main idea of an action film is to have a disaster, whether it be from nature or man. This genre is very conflict based which makes action films suspensful to watch. These films usually have a protagonist that is the "good guy" which allows the audience to root for his side, and in return, the "bad guy" is always included to battle good and evil sides. Action qualities were first seen in the western films, and were later broken into different categories and levels of intensity seen through the decades. Our generation is focused mostly on special effects and destruction, whereas the original idea was to focus on the characters abilities to get in and out of trouble.
