I hated everyone in Great Expectations, too.

You still haven't explained your problem with my wonderful Enid. What's the story? Can't handle her awesome sarcasm? Or her... something. Its been ages since i've seen that movie, or read the comic. but Enid rocks. i know that much

It's been awhile since I've seen the movie, too, and I've never read the comic. I remember being really annoyed with her. I didn't think the sarcasm was funny, just hurtful. She leads on Buscemi's pitiful character. She's rather unresponsive to the concerns of Scarlett Johannson's character, not much of a friend. She's got this downer point of view and takes it out on the people around her.

the princess bride, i always got mad that buttercup was so stupid in the book. and that everyone kept calling her stupid too. 's been a loooong time since i read that.
for great expectations, we got to watch a movie version when ever the teach was out. one sub refused to let us fast forward thru the incredibly dull bits and we utterly missed ms. havisham's firey firey death. we were oh so very disappointed. lookit me, i'm postin! wheee! |

quote: You're absolutely right, but that didn't make me hate her. I definitely recognised parts of myself as a teenager (and still) in her, where you try to make yourself feel better about being a lonely, sad, depressed git by being a cynic - i.e. you're lonely, sad and depressed because the world is just as inadequate as you are. Still, I do think that she progresses from that, though not in a simple Hollywood "Oh, I've finally seen the error of my ways, and now I'll become a good person!" way. |

its a common genre thing, but yea, it dosen't make much sense. the plot was pretty confusing, but for 'monsters and kids' shows, it was pretty darn good. i dunno why, but i had serious affection for it
CancerDusk: i didn't really see her leading on Buscemi's character... she did sleep with him in the movie, and it seems they had a real connection. but yea, that is a bit sad. i guess she was insensative to Scarlett's char (but i could see her point of view. *insert rant about 'stupid norms' here*) I dunno... i agree with her mechanism for negotiationg the world. 'i'm lonely because most people are pathetic and stupid' is a great way to make yourself feel better, though i suppose it could be unhealty. i wonder who Buscemi's char was based on... Harvey Pekar? R.Crumb? they were both serious jazz collectors and comic people |

quote: She changed? Maybe, I wasn't looking hard enough or my memory is faulty, probably both. I guess I just didn't see anything redeeming enough about her that would help me accept the negative aspects of her character. By the end of the film I was pretty sick of her and probably not paying much attention. Maybe it says something about how I feel about people in general. ------ "Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything.

You know, this thread has bothered me for a while. Yes, quite a while because I knew there was someone whom I really, really despised.
The character's name is Evelyn Ann Thompson from a film called "The Shape of Things." By the way, if you ever intend to watch this movie, ***DO NOT READ FURTHER on your own peril (and such,  ).What is there really to say about her? You see, Thompson considers herself "a true artist," one who has taken to heart (if she even has one) the creed that: "There is no morality in art." Obviously she's also a person who subscribes to the idea of art being life as well. Basically, the entire movie is about how she physically and psychologically manipulates and twists this other male character into what she wants him to be. And not even completely for the sake of physical lust or even monetary gain. On the contrary, she did this all for the sake of "artistic experimentation." And she actually had the audacity to reveal to him what she did to him in the end, dispassionally and unapologetically telling him that all along (after going out with him and toying with his feelings)that he was nothing but her "experiment." A cold-hearted, vile human being if there ever was one. If she actually existed, I'd hope that someone else would use her to practice their own "amoral art-experimentation" on. Heh, sorry, but this character truly unabashedly pisses me off just to think about. I've even tried to forget. Just ... what a bloody soulless bitch. This message has been edited.

I remember when The Shape of Things was a play. My theatre company did a reading of it to determine whether to select it for our season, and I absolutely HATED it becaues none of the charcaters were particularly sympathetic. Neil La Bute has a talent for creating absolute monsters of characters who have absolutely no redeeming values. Take THE COMPANY OF MEN for example...two cut-throat businessmen target a deaf girl for their own sick amusement. Why? I have a feeling that if Neil LaBute were a fictional chracetr, he would definitely be on my list of most hateds.

Most hated characters: Pretty much any female in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series (which has been steadily slipping downward since book 3; I haven't even read the latest two). Especially Nynaeve. Or maybe Egwene, or Elayne. And the ones who I did like - Aviendah, Moiraine, Min - are steadily becoming more annoying.

I've always hated Amy from Little Women with a burning passion. I pulled for her to die for the entire book. I took great pleasure in her troubles, and I wanted Jo to moider her inventively in the worst way, especially when she burned Jo's book. I never forgave Jo for not-killing her.
In fact, I hate the whole book. But I really hate Amy. |
