Have you ever walked out of a movie theater filled with a craving to be like the woman you saw on the screen. You think about how you could manipulate your style, clothing, hair, sense of humor, hobbies, way with men, vibe, hips... to be more like her?
I feel this way all the time. A jealousy of fictional characters consumes me far more than it does for any "real" woman. Perhaps it's because they're virtues are highlighted in response to elevated circumstances (that we never see). They are pedestaled for us to observe at the height of fruitful love, or the greatest fight of their lives.
And, of course, they do it with the heat that's inherent when 4 makeup artists, a wardrobe, and lights are present.
Here are my current 10.
The ones that have me re-evaluating my life (and for the record...I'm self admittedly not envious for all the right reasons)
1. Maria Elena from Vicky Christina Barcelona (erotic, wild, dangerous)
2. Marianne Dashwood from Sense and Sensibility (smart, passionate, lovesick)
3. Sheba Hart from Notes on a Scandal (stunning, etherial, lost)
4. Stephanie The Science of Sleep (dreamy, whimsical, smart, understated)
5. Poppy Happy go Lucky (brave, quirky, lighthearted)
6. Em in Adventureland (bad ass, sultry, 80's rock)
7. Amelie in Amelie (curious, simple, colorful)
8. Bellatrix in Harry Potter Series (Dark, sketch, magician)
9. The Bride from Kill Bill (killer cool, fit, ambitious)
10. Margo from The Royal Tenembaums (tragic, erotic, chic)
watch these movies to see some great stuff.
