Levi Strauss, a French anthropologist in the 1900s, proposed a theory of 'binary opposites' which entails that the majority of narratives in media forms such as books and film contain opposing main characters. These binary opposites help to thicken the plot and further the narrative; and introduce contrast.

The films we watch contain binary oppositions to help audiences understand the narrative(story) and to create more conflict/Excitement.

I now realize, for instance, that most thrillers are based on crime. However, they never really depict any murder in these previews, just the build-up to the scenes. As they also illustrate in their openings, this is in contrast to most horrors. Also, before anything else, the opening scenes always attempt to create the protagonist. They then use it to create suspense for the remainder of the opening sequence. We have learned that the adversary is introduced to the protagonists at the end, but can typically be seen throughout as the presence of the antagonists might be clear to the viewer. However, this information is omitted by some directors to build suspense and mystery throughout the thriller. The most significant tradition in a crime is arguably suspense and mystery, which is typical with many cases. A typical position in crime thrillers is that women are typically villains, whereas they are generally men, which contrasts most thrillers, but this female antagonist may mean that women are not vulnerable and are capable of killing people.   w realize, for instance, that most thrillers are based on crime.
