As important as the plot, narrative, and cast are to a film, the audience’s reaction to a film and its characters is equally relevant. A stronger reaction or connection to a character, either positive or negative, allows the character to leave a lasting impression on the audience, even if the film’s plot itself is not extraordinary or memorable. An unforgettable character can be the result of their persona, actions, relationships with others, or the actors’ or actress’ performances. Mark, Harry,

College doesn’t just limit itself to an unparalleled academic education.

parabolic story of love bartered for wealth. Only in hindsight can the mind behind those glassy eyes comprehend the effects of a lack of emotional awareness, of the capitulation to immediate desire and impulsivity. Those eyes were Richard Gere’s in the film Days of Heaven. Director Terrence Malick’s oeuvre has often featured stoic protagonists in search of themselves, bleeding with introspection, used as props to examine Malick’s own feelings and to provide a mirror for the audience to do the same.
