I don´t know if I`m right...but the villan played by alfred molina looks similar to a villan from an old movie. He also wear a top hat and had mustaches.I think a cape also. Does anyone know the namo of the movie Im talking about?
thanks
Dozens of Old Black and White, especially silent, films used the sterotype of a Black hat, usually a Top Hat, and a black cape to make sure the audience got to know right away who the Villain was, so this just plays pff that Sterotype. The Charecter is suppose to be remenescent fo the general sterotype, but not specifically lampooning any one Charecter.
This post was three years old when I saw it so sorry for the delay.
