Re: Your Role Models in Fiction
I think it's more that I identify with him rather than see him as a role model. He's a pessimist, but also an idealist, and he can also have a lot of fun despite the absurdity of life. When he has his head out the window of the cop car, I get that sense of freedom. He's a hypocrite, too. He says he doesn't have a plan or that he doesn't care, but he most definitely has a plan, and desperately wants the world to see things his way. To wake up. So he's not just some anarchist, though he may wish he was. Despite my own attempts to detach myself from the mass of utter stupidity that is humanity, I still find myself trying to communicate with it.tragabigzanda wrote:Please explainBurtReynolds wrote:oh and Heath Ledger's Joker, for very different reasons
