I’ve been sick since Tuesday and been watching a lot of movies. These are are two of my favorites. I identify with the protagonist of each flick.
Here are some of quotes from the films that echo things said often to me:
From Five Easy Pieces: "You’re a strange person, Robert. I mean, what will you come to? If a person has no love for himself, no respect for himself, no love of his friends, family, work, something – how can he ask for love in return? I mean, why should he ask for it?"
From High Plains Drifter:
Sarah Belding: Be careful. You’re a man who makes people afraid, and that’s dangerous.
The Stranger: It’s what people know about themselves inside that makes ’em afraid.
Pops emails: "How dare you identify with the protagonist of this film, boy! Listen good, Sunny Jim, if there’s anyone you should identify with, it’s the dwarf Mordecai. Or maybe the fair-dinkum girl Callie."
