Author Topic: Movie or Show with the Pure of Heart (Closed because TVTropes is stupid)  (Read 1209 times)

Alright I am looking for a good movie or TV show where one of the main characters is pure of heart and it is actually either a plot point or a major aspect of their character.

Preferably where the pure hearted nature of the character isn't considered a detriment that needs to be cast off.

The last show I watched with that was Liars Game

Which by the by if you haven't seen the Japanese or Korean Liars game shows... do so right now! Like immediately...

While I like the characters of the Japanese one more, the setting of the Korean one is far superior (they are equals in my mind).

I don't mind this being something for children but bonus points if it is something for an adult.

--

Another movie that I liked but I don't know the name of is another Foreign film

Basically the main character is a Flute (Or Lute I forget) playing Princess who is Pure.

This movie is actually quite cynical towards her purity mind you. She is often described as being pure as paper which is more or less saying that she is pure but that there is nothing really there, no happiness, and no experiences.

Yet luckily it never considers her purity as something that needs to be cast off.

---

Bonus points as well for "redeemer" characters who basically take in all the horridness of the world and makes things better.

Dragonball. The anime, not the movie. It's a recurring theme throughout the show. Some redemptions as well.

DBZ and DB Grand Tour. It does get a bit dark at points, but Goku is Pure Hearted all the way through.

As for my suggestion, Braveheart? I honestly don't know.

Edit: You could look at TVtropes.

Thanks I am sure the exactly 14 examples... of which only maybe half count.

It helps when you aren't a slave to TVtropes

Pure of Hearth is a SuperTrope, all the examples of all the tropes in there count as Pure of Hearth.

Did you check the links? The ones on that page were only the ones that didn't fit under subcategories.

Of which only TWO matter to this discussion. One which has no examples and another just lists any character who as much as picks up litter after himself.

Once again don't be a slave to TVTropes man. Actually do some research of your own.

This isn't a "Hey post links from TVTropes and pretend they apply because they are KIND OF related... but I won't actually read them before linking them, I am just going to post it"

READ THE DANG TVTROPES PAGE BEFORE LINKING IT!

I shouldn't have to read it, tell you it doesn't apply, you say it is, and then I have to tell you to read it.

The order of events are
1) You find the page on TVtropes
2) You read the page on TVtropes
3) You think about how this page applies to the discussion at hand
4) If the page lists appropriate examples that are helpful, you then link the page
or
4) If the page doesn't list appropriate examples, then you do not link the page.

Not

1) Find something that is kind of related... I mean someone asking for Movies and shows about people who are "Pure of Heart" MUST be on "Purity Personified" right?
2) Post it
3) proceed to tell anyone who contradicts the page that they are wrong.

Or are you going to suggest Dora the Explorer? Optimus Prime? (ignoring that the pure hearted optimus prime hasn't existed outside the Marvel comics)
