Good Guys Wear Black

Let me ask you something. Why does the good guy always have to win?

I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before but every once in a while why can’t we have a movie where the good guy doesn’t win? I was really hoping Insomnia was going to deliver on that. It was set up so that it could have worked. The good guy would not have lost per se, but the bad guy would have won. It would not have taken anything away from the movie, it would have in fact added a lot to the movie.

Is there something built in to the general public that they just can’t or don’t want to accept that the bad guys can sometimes win?

More on this later after I sleep and develop a more full line of thought about it.
