What makes a hero develop? And how does he or she grow? Subscribe:
http://goo.gl/9AGRmThe best characters are the ones that grow and change and sometimes learn a lesson. These characters can help us learn something about ourselves, about society, or the world at large. Here are our top 10 character arcs in film history.
What did you think of the list? Do you disagree with any of our picks? Feel like we left out or mis-represented any of the films? What character do you think has the best arc? What do you think makes a character arc great?

THE LIST
Hero’s Journey - Kikuchiyo from Seven Samurai
It is a pitting of pridefulness versus self-sacrifice, of noble dreams versus their difficult realities, all set against the backdrop of a peasant's orphan past.
Moral Growth - Jules from Pulp Fiction
Pulp Fiction does a wonderful job of walking us quietly through his revelation-by-parts on the way to becoming a righteous man.
Reluctant Hero - Rick Blaine from Casablanca
A broken heart made him shun heroism, but it takes the same woman who broke his heart to soften it, and we get to watch gleefully as he reveals himself to be the hero he tried so hard not to.
Lets Go/Becomes Free - Bobby Dupea from Five Easy Pieces
We're not quite sure where he's going. Or how specifically he's changed. But he's reached his breaking point, and decided to leave it all behind. Whatever life he had before, he's given it up now, and is no longer the same person for it.
Grow Together - The Entire Cast from Boyhood
For all the emotional growth an actor can do on screen in a typical 3 month span, there's nothing like actual time to really kick it up a notch.
Failure to Change - Alex from A Clockwork Orange
While the entire plot is focused around getting this violent criminal to change his ways, in the end, he ends up exactly where he started
Confronting Death - Dr. Isak Borg from Wild Strawberries
It is the psychological journey of a man and his self reckoning in his final act. Beginning in a place of guilt and resolving itself in some small amount of solace and acceptance.
Rise to Power - Michael Corleone from The Godfather
From saintly war-hero to family leader of quiet cruelty, it is the slow, seductive corruption of a moral man.
Descent into Madness - Mabel from A Woman Under the Influence
In the beginning, Mabel is perhaps just a little strange but what follows is one of the most brilliantly acted unravellings in the history of cinema.
Rise and Fall - Citizen Kane from Citizen Kane
A monument to an American Icarus, flying too high and lending proof to Fitzgerald's claim that "there are no second acts in American lives."

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
