    El antihéroe como personaje de ficción en el guion del cortometraje La bala
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2021-03-18) Juela Guamán, Pablo Raúl; Gonzalo Jiménez, Gonzalo
    In the film world, characters are essential when structuring and developing a story, in which they are generally classified under the definition of "good" or "bad." However, there are more and more films that have introduced “dark” characters as protagonists; It is no longer only the "good guys" who take the leading roles, the antagonists have been gaining more space in films over time. For this reason, it has been decided to carry out an investigation on the “antihero” as a derivation of the "bad one". Thus, through this inquiry, it will be possible to understand what this archetype means: what are the characteristics that identify it; what principles or anti-values determine their behavior, and what are the motives that lead a character to rebel against society and become the living representation of those anti-values. With this apprehension, the necessary references will be obtained to proceed with the construction of an antihero as the main character of a fictional script for a short film. This proposal arises from the bet that cinema makes nowadays, by presenting the human side of antiheroes: What motivates them? How are they built? This is how the following project has been developed, with these questions as the driving force and with the aim of solving them we have proceeded to analyze theories and concepts of various authors such as José Luis González and Robert McKee, as well as several films. All this with the aim of defining the character with precision, and obtaining clear guidelines to work on Bruno, the anti-heroic protagonist of the short film La Bala. This research also explores the circumstances that build the world that surrounds the character to turn him into an antihero, which in fiction are embodied through elements such as language, costume, spaces, physical characteristics, among other factors that are decisive to characterize him. Pablo Raúl Juela Guamán Página 5 To support all this construction, various films will be addressed and analyzed, in which the antihero is the central character: Monsieur Verdoux (1947) by Charles Chaplin, Los Olvidados (1950) by Luis Buñuel, and Ratas, Ratones y Rateros (1999) by Sebastián Cordero, from these films, certain characteristics of their main characters are rescued and taken as reference; in addition to carrying out an analysis regarding the features of each of these antiheroes based on their context and environment.
