Goody two shoes?

Good and evil. Almost every Disney movie ever made has had a hero and a villain. In fact, in almost every movie, there is a villain and a hero whether is clearly cut like Harry Potter and Voldermort, or not so clear. By the end of the movie, you hate the antagonist and love the protagonist (well this is the case for most people). I think that yes, good and evil do exist, but I think movies have made the difference between good and evil more drastic than it is.

When I think of a good person i think of someone who doesn't lie, cheat, is nice to everyone etc. When i think of a so called evil person, i think of someone who does lie, cheat, is mean to people etc. I dont believe that there is a perfect person that never does bad or sins and i dont believe there is someone that is pure evil and never does good. Yes, there are some people who do good than evil and some people that do more evil than good but i dont think there is that clear of a distinction to call someone "good" and someone "evil". I also think that if someone does a lot of bad things, they can make themselves better and not be bad forever and a good person can do bad things and become bad, but not evil. I think movies such as The Little Mermaid and Harry Potter have swayed our views on good and evil people by making us think there is always a hero in life and always someone who is evil in life.
