Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe), Some Like It Hot
Sugar and I are actually quite similar. We both keep falling in love with the wrong man, each breakup a blow to the already depressed psyche. And making out with Tony Curtis is a major plus.
Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), Goodfellas
"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster" is the sentence we hear as we're introduced to Henry. And once he becomes a "wise guy", he's living the high life, a life that would make anyone jealous.
The Joker (Heath Ledger), The Dark Knight
He is such a badass. Terrorizing a whole city? Hell yeah. It would also be kinda cool to kill someone with a pencil.
Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), The Godfather
Much like Henry, Michael lives in luxury from the gangster lifestyle. He also calculates the perfect hit. Wealth, intelligence and a cunning nature, the very things a true gangster should have.
Gilda (Rita Hayworth), Gilda
She makes every man around her melt. That's a trait I wish I had.
So who would want to be?
Not so long ago I created a similar list. I tried to stick to female characters but we have a male one in common - the Joker (Heath Ledger's, of course).
ReplyDeleteIf it were me I'd go for William Miller in ALMOST FAMOUS, Arthur in INCEPTION, and jason Bourne in the Bourne trilogy.
ReplyDeleteInteresting choices - excuse me while I go psychoanalyze them all. Just kidding :).
ReplyDeleteAllow me to answer on behalf of all guys (apparently not named Mad Hatter) and say we all want to be James Bond - preferably Sean Connery style but I'd settle for Lazenby.
