John - since 1983 said:Sometimes while watching a movie, you realize you're just like a certain character. Maybe it's how they look, how they act, or their core beliefs. Sometimes things align so perfectly that you don't just share a worldview—you actually experience similar events in your own life... This is just a general thought...
The topic itself might be a bit tricky, but have you ever truly identified with or recognized yourself in a movie character?
MY ANSWER:
Lester Burnham. He's the lead in the film American Beauty, which some people call "whirlwind life."
Ha...🙄 You've certainly picked a tough topic here. 😳 Most people on these forums find it hard to choose, because everyone is playing so many different "roles" in their lives.😁

John Laroche: Look at this Angraecum sesquipedale... absolute stunner. Seriously.
Darwin wrote about this One. Darwin? The Evolution Guy?
Check out that nectary tucked way down deep—Darwin actually predicted there’d be a moth with a twelve-inch snout just to reach it. People thought he was totally losing it back then! But then, boom—they find this moth with a twelve-inch proboscis. Which is basically just a fancy word for "nose," by the way... Susan Orlean
: I am well aware of what a "proboscis" is.

: Okay, okay, let's stay on track here. This isn't some kind of ego trip!

Susan Orlean: Mind if I ask you something personal?
John Laroche: What? We're not lost.

See that little nectar well tucked way down at the bottom? Darwin actually guessed there had to be some kind of moth with a twelve-inch snout just to reach it and pollinate the thing. Back then, everyone thought he’d totally lost his marbles! But then—boom—they actually find this moth with a massive twelve-inch proboscis. And just so we're clear, proboscis basically just means "nose."

John Laroche: Okay, okay, let's stay on track here! We aren't having a freaking contest!
Don't tell me you don't have any front teeth?!?!? 😲

People always try to call me Gandhi, so I guess I’ll just say I see a bit of Ben Kingsley in myself 😁

I know I’m being totally unoriginal here, but I really saw myself in Amélie. I used to look at the world through this weird, distorted lens just like she does. And yeah, maybe I am still a little too childish for my own good...😳

🤣 I mean, being that anti-social... you can only really pull that off in a movie.
😬 😁
Don't you think he totally earned his Oscar for this role though?
Who would've guessed Chris Cooper had that kind of range in him? 😁

Dylan Dog in that cheesy cult classic della Mort della Amor
He's played by that total geek Rupert Everet, who was basically the inspiration for the character anyway... haha... what a legend
