"Good characters jump off of the screen and into our hearts. Whether we root for the underdog, cheer when justice is served to the evil-doer, or shed a tear when the heroine gets the guy before the credits roll, these characters are built like any other construct of fiction. Tonight's movie topic explores the surface of the basic structure of characters archetypes and how they coexist in a cinematic masterpiece. (Don't get your hopes up for any truly MEANINGFUL conversation, of course -- after all, this IS flick-a-brac.) "
