Three Favorite Movie Characters

Yesterday, I made a list of my go to movies when I need a pick me up. There's a reason these shows made the list as some of my favorites. The plot lines of each movie is defiantly a factor, but another reason is the character development throughout the movie. Here are three of my favorite characters, the movie they're from, and why they're my favorite.

  • Garrett from Quest for Camelot
    • Garrett is the blind companion that Kayley meets on her quest to save her mother and the kingdom from the evil Ruber. Garrett was blinded by horses who were escaping from a fire at the royal stables in Camelot. After that, he went to live in the forest as a hermit. That's how and where Kayley met him. Despite having been scared in more ways than one by the people in Camelot when he was a child, he went back to save the same people. He also showed Kayley how to believe in herself, which helped her to save the day in the end.
  • Millie from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
    • Millie is the woman that the eldest brother, Adam, married when he went to town looking for a wife. She did this knowing nothing other than the mans name and that he lives up in the mountains above the town where she is working. The reason she's one of my favorites is because she stuck it out and practically civilized seven men single handed. Yes, she has the help of six other girls for the younger guys, but the only reason the younger guys got their girls was because Millie made them behave and act like gentlemen instead of like the juvenile adolescence the were acting like.
  • Jack "Cowboy" Kelly from Newsies
    • Anyone who knows of this movie knows that the original movie wasn't the best movie. BUT, if you watch the Broadway movie, you will find that it is much better than the original. All in all, the character of Cowboy is one to be admired. He has quite the long list of boys who depend on him to lead them. When the price for their papers rises, he leads the boys in a strike and has to keep the moral up when one of their own is kidnapped and hidden away. Through all of that, he figures out why Pulitzer is out to get him and confronts him. Jack's character is shown to be a young scared boy who is doing the best he can in the situation he's been thrown into.
