The first post in my 100 Movies/TV Shows/Books ~ My Favourite Characters. I think most will be coming from TV shows and movies, but we will see. The majority of the characters will be pretty modern, though there are a few older ones I've thought about. This is my first choice as I watched this movie at the weekend with my mum. It was an interesting film to watch, so let me introduce you to...
The Woman from The Woman
So this is The Woman. She is the surviving member of a violent, feral clan, hurt and alone in a forest. A lawyer finds her, captures her, shackles her up in his basement and claims to want to civilise her with the help of his family. Her story, though pretty horrid, kept me interested throughout. The fact that she was able to be this violent thing we should be scared of, and also be vulnerable and tormented at the hands of certain family members was fascinating. The actress did a good job to portray that, especially as The Woman only really communicated through growls, broken english/unknown words and the look on her face and in her eyes. The other characters, especially my hate of the dad of the family also aided in my love for the character, I just wanted her to rip his face off. Her story was pretty slow going, interlocked with the family and each of their little side dramas, but I felt it delivered a satisfactory, and grisly end. In a weird way she was quite a beautiful character, and certainly a strong one.
