How To Find Our Identity in Movie Characters?
The Characters We See Ourselves In
My friend asked me which movie or series character I relate to the most, and even though I’ve watched many shows, I couldn’t tell her.
I kept wondering why because with so many characters, each possessing strong and unique personalities, it shouldn’t be that difficult to find one to relate to.
Then, I remembered the movie “Eat Pray Love” and realized that the protagonist is the character I relate to the most.
Most of her actions are what I would do, and her personality mirrors mine on many levels.
When I recognized her as the character I relate to the most, it made me ask myself questions and do some introspection.
- How is she like me?
- How do her flaws or weaknesses resonate with my own?
- How has my perception of her changed as I’ve evolved?
- In what ways do I wish I was more like her?
I realized that the character we relate to the most can reveal a lot more about ourselves than we already know.
By choosing that character, we can see how we perceive ourselves or, sometimes, what more we aspire to become.
By asking ourselves the right questions, we might discover traits within that character that reflect aspects of ourselves we were previously unaware of.
