movie characters

there're many movie characters that are unique. just to mentioned a few that i liked.

Ripley from Alien and Aliens. I don't know why, but i really liked the character. to me, it's extremely unique. i guess she did not demonstrate some super human ability or character. but she was more closer to what a person could do gracefully under pressure! that's what very attractive. you can see her scare, you can see her care, you can even see her struggle inside. but eventually, you saw her overcame the fear inside at the end of Aliens and tried to rescue the girl. i guess that girl could be seen as herself but scared! hehe, psychology...

Don Vito Corleone from Godfather. i certainly know the real deal in mafia was horrible. but i can't say how much strength this character showed. i wished i could be as strong and cool as him. he had his own doctrine, which i don't think any of his kids understand much, espeically michael. Sunny know well, but i don't think he had the control of his old man, or even michael. Don Vito Corleone was the one with control, coolness, strength, and wisdom rolled in one. he had his own idea of mercy. it's ancient. but somehow i felt familiar.

Tom Hagen. i liked him. a very good staff character. loyal and smart. i liked him.

maria. i loved this character. in fact, i loved most of julie andrew's character. resiliant, joyful, and passion for life. plus, maria can sing. but the most important thing is she loved somebody, ran away, but she summed up courage to face it once again. she's true to herself which is not a easy thing, to me at least. i just loved this character!
