Would you attempt the impossible, even if you were told it couldn't be done? I'm not sure. I might, but in all probability I'd be too scared.
Would you do what you thought was right, even without the help or support of others? At this point in my life, I'm going to say yes. Even a year ago, though, the answer would've been no.
Are you dependable? Basically.
Who or What would you lay in front of a tank for? Love. Family.
Across the Universe -
Favorite character and why: It's a tie between Jude - because he's an artist and so innocent - and Max - because he's freakin' hilarious. JoJo and Prudence are close seconds, though.
Who do you relate to most and why: Prudence. I have a lot of insecurities about myself. I also kind of relate to Jude in that I'm definitely a dreamer.
Favorite scene? Oh, man. The Thanksgiving dinner scene cracks me up every time, but I also love when Jude and Lucy are by the water and he tells her to come closer so he can get her eyes right. The emotion and chemistry in that scene is tangible. Also, when he kisses her for the first time - whoa. I don't think I've ever seen a deeper, sweeter, more passionate kiss in a movie.
Favorite quotes (no more than three):
"Music is the only thing that makes sense anymore... play it loud enough and it keeps the demons at bay." - JoJo
Army Man: Is there any reason you shouldn't serve in the United States Army?
Max: I'm a cross-dressing homosexual pacifist with a spot on my lung.
Army Man: As long as you don't have flat feet.
"It's me! In the thing! Yeah!" - Mr. Kite
Favorite song-scene: I love the "I Want You" army scene and "Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite" is awesome, but I think my favourite would have to be the entire "Strawberry Fields" sequence. It is so powerful.
