Would you attempt the impossible, even if you were told it couldn't be done? Of course! Where's the fun in not doing that?!
Would you do what you thought was right, even without the help or support of others? Yes. I actually have and I don't regret it at all.
Are you dependable? Very much so, I'd like to think.
Who or What would you lay in front of a tank for? My family, of course.
Across the Universe -
Favorite character and why: Max, because he's the one who shows the most growth as an individual but never loses that humor that attracted me to him in the first place. Max needs a hug. Seriously!
Who do you relate to most and why: Mm, a little Jude, a little Lucy. But really, the traits in their character that I'd list here actually occur in everyone (passion, dedication etc) so it's hard to say. I can relate to all of them for different reasons.
Favorite scene? The scene where Jude, Lucy, Max and Prudence are walking in the Protest March. It's really the last truly happy time for them, and even when Lucy starts to get upset Max is reassuring her, yet you can still see his own fears about it. It's just a great scene.
Favorite quotes (no more than three):
Jude: Well I'm sorry I'm not the man with the mega-phone, but this is what I do.
Lucy: Androgyny suits you, Max.
Favorite song-scene "I've Just Seen a Face" because that would be the best acid bowling trip EVER!
