i wanted to be her
these are characters that i wanted to be at one time or another. let's just pretend with the older movies, that i liked the characters from them when they came out--when i was younger.
joon first. for her art, quirks, peanut butter milkshakes, crazy outfits, and well--life
i liked the younger sister from the last of the mohicans. she jumped off the cliff in what i thought was a beautifully tragic scene. and i liked her hair tied up in knotted braids, so i started doing it with mine
ladyhawke
medicine man. they swung around the tops of the trees in the rain forest, and she was given a really cool tattoo across her face by an indian
crimped hair and an orange tail... i always wanted to be a mermaid
and i wanted to be in mermaids--winona ryder's character specifically
sorsha from willow. so, she started out as an evil character, but she came around and ended up good, not to mention that she got to hang out with mad mardigan
the girl from the spitfire grill. she was beautiful
my so called life
the girl in blade runner. she's was sad and perfectly beautiful, and not entirely real
the girl from butch cassidy and the sundance kid. running with the outlaws
whenever i see i movie with juliette binoche, i wish we were friends. i like her in chocolat: warm, colorful, makes people hungry
amelie. shy, strange, imaginative
lola. best for last. she's been first on my list since i saw this movie. it's everything about her, and something i can't quite figure out
You have me wanting to make my own character list of who I want to be. Maybe I will...
Posted by: Carla at November 15, 2004 02:23 PMjoon, charlotte, angela, vienne, amelie...they'd be on my list as well. (i think i still am angela, and i'm 8 years out of high school...)
someday i'll sit down and complete that list.
Posted by: steph at November 15, 2004 02:36 PMcarla. please make a list. i like knowing who other people would be.
steph. i don't know their actual names. which one is charlotte? i'll have to figure it out.
Posted by: kelly at November 15, 2004 07:46 PMkelly, this is a cool post! I agree with all of those!
And man, was I obsessed with ladyhawke as a kid.

I made a list because you said it was ok. lol And because I love lists. I tried not to repeat any of the same people. The good thing is that I never even saw some of the movies that you posted about, maybe I'll go out and rent them so I know what your talking about., specifically the older ones.
i believe you have a little bit of all these characters inside you kelly.
