BAD MOVIE Movies often have a script in which there is a good character, the PROTAGONIST, actor or lead actress, and the ANTAGONISTA, the bad, secondary character, which makes a counterpart. This is formally called the bad guy in the movie. Figuratively, on the other hand, he is the person who does the hard work on a duo, for example, the President and the Minister of the Interior, or a General Manager, who talks about job improvements, and the Staff Manager, who makes the layoffs.
