Movie Blog 5: Chronicles of Ridick

Awesome movie! The character of Ridick is very ambiguous. He is initially viewed as self-serving and only interested in his own personal survival. However, his motivations are seemingly selfish but nonetheless they are for the good of all. Should the Necromongers win then Ridick would no doubt be hunted down for the stubborn individualist threat he poses to the swarming mentality of the necromongers. Ridick exemplifies existentialism as he combats the forced conversion of his opponents. He is his own man and refuses to become just a specimen of a larger whole.
