In Character

Hannibal Lector: Lector is one of the most creepy villains in entertainment, but there's a soft spot to him that most serial killers don't have. Indeed he is a psychopath and he does eat people for gratification, but when faced with the oppurtunity to kill Clarice in Silence of the Lambs, he chose not to because he felt attached to her in some way. This shows that he still has some humanity and feeling left in him, although it is very limited. After watching "Hannibal Rising", it definitely made me understand his character better, knowing that his entire family got killed right in front of his eyes.

Bugs Bunny: Bugs is definitely a part of American culture because he exemplifies the trickster, or someone who defies authority. He can be seen being very nice one second and then completely driving someone crazy the next. He was made in the 40s during WWll, but he more exemplifies someone of today's era; the way he goes against authority, and he was created before any of the other anti-authority based things like punk rock or Jerry Seinfeld.

My character: Bill Lundberg: I chose Bill Lundberg, the boss in the movie "Office Space", because he is a funny guy who I think portrays a lot of people in authority in our society. Most of the time, I feel like people in our society are arrogant and stupid and make decisions really for no reason in particular but just because they feel like it. In the movie, Bill is constantly harassing Peter, the main character, just because he feels like it, although he is pretty funny. The thing about that I love about this movie is how Peter responds to it after he is hipnotized. Most people fold to retaliating to their boss' attitude, Peter definitely does not, and he eventually just stops showing up at work. People like Bill Lundberg are everywhere in Corporate America, and I don't like them, but they can be funny.
