Favorite female character in a movie
Clementine from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
I'm not even going to get into what a ridiculously vague category this is. Suffice it to say, I picked Clementine because I didn't want to spend three hours thinking about this question seriously and she *is* in my default icon. XD
Clementine is a great character because she is only seen from Joel's perspective for the whole movie. We see this perfect Manic Pixie Dream Girl. She's flighty, she's impulsive, creative, volatile, confused, beautiful...but as she aptly states, she is not a concept. And yes, this movie is about our perspective on relationships but isn't that really about our perspective on people? So I'm not going to go on about her changing hair color or Kate Winslet's brilliant performance. What I'm just going to say is that she is a great character because we only know her from perspective of a man who is both in love and sick of her (okay, we briefly see her outside of that perspective but it is also from someone obsessed with her) and it acknowledges and revels in the fact that aspects of her personality are affected or imagined and that no one can really know her because no one can really know anyone because we don't know ourselves, but oh yeah, this is what she is like. :D
Man, I need to own this movie.
