Express Yourself: Character Personality


Happy Tuesday!

I'm back as always with the weekly Express Yourself topic provided by Jackie @ Bouquet of Books and Dani @ Entertaining Interests. This week's question is "What movie character's personality it yours to a tee?"

I think I've talked about this a few times now, but Amelie Poulain's character fits me frighteningly well. She's a very imaginative young woman who lives a fairly mundane life with a mix of people she likes or dislikes. She's kind of lonely and enjoys simple pleasures like sticking her hands in a bag of lentils and roaming gnomes. And when Nino Quimcampoix comes into her life, she's determined to be in love with him without confronting him.

It's a wonderful movie that everyone should watch and fall in love with. Do it. DO IT. ;)

Anyway, I related to Amelie so much that I wrote a poem in Spanish (I can't speak French, so Spanish was the next best option in my mind).

Very cool! I've never seen that movie, but if I ever have the chance to, I'm going to have to remember to do so!

I'm not sure there is movie character like me. I'd have to really think about it.

Hmmm this is really something to ponder. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head for movies specifically, but the tomboy girl from Are You Afraid of the Dark was always someone I could relate to. I was such a rough around the edges and opinionated child, smh.
