Have you seen the movie, "Flight of the Phoenix"? I have a question about it-- (see below...)?
In "Flight of the Phoenix," how come all the characters who are stranded in the plane crash, suck up to the macho Dennis Quaid character, and despise the unassuming & helpful Giovanni Ribisi character? I realize it's just a movie, but the fact that the screenwriter thought to shape the characters this way, makes me think that he/she thought that this is the way things would naturally work out, in real life. I could see them all disliking the Ribisi character, if he was this selfish, arrogant, know-it-all, but he seems nice-- quiet, but nice-- he just wants to help everyone re-build the plane, & get out of the desert; he only turns out to be jerky later, after weeks of the other characters pushing his buttons, and being nasty & ungrateful, for (what it seems to me) no reason... why do they all continually bust the Ribisi character's chops, and then end up practically worshipping the macho-asshole Dennis Quaid character?

Giovanni is the bad guy. In a movie like that there is suppossed to be a hero. They have to build the idea of the bad guy and the hero as the movie progresses.
