Protagonist intro...
How late can you introduce a protagonist (physically on screen) and still pull it off?
The Third man introduces the protagonist later than most movies... what are other movies that pushes that limit further?
Regards,
Jay Bala.

There should be set no rules governing when the protagonist should be introduced. If you think of the title character in Waiting for Godot as a protagonist, then he never arrives.
But you do have to know what you're doing when you're introducing your protagonist, whenever that is.

I got movies mixed up.
Still, my question is... on an average, how late is too late? For example we don't want PP1 on page 75... I am sure someone may have tried it and may have even worked.
Likewise, there may be three movies that succeeded by introducing the protagonist on page 30, and there might be another five movies succeeded by introducing at page 55 and two at page 89... this is no

In "The Red Violin," the protagonist is introduced, well..., never.
Even if you stoop so far into the simplistic to consider the Samuel L. Jackson character to be the protagonist (and I don't), we never find out who or what he is until 110 minutes in.
