    Who are the characters (be it protagonists/antagonists/antiheroes whatever) you most identify with in film.

    For me some characters i most identify with (purely in terms of emotional resonance) are:

    Will Hunting
    Driver from Drive
    Peter Gibbons from Office Space
    Ricky Fitts (and less so Lester Burnham) from American Beauty
    Andy Kaufman in Man on the moon.
    Truman Burbank in The Truman Show.
    Llewelyn Moss in No Country for old men.

    I wouldn't say I identify with them as such but I do often find myself trying to understand the female characters in films from my own perspective.

    Some characters that seem horrible like Claudia in Interview with the Vampire. She's frustrated because she's a woman stuck in the body of a child and she's very angry, mostly blaming Lestat for making her a vampire.

    Elvira Hancock in Scarface seems permanently pissed off and stuck up but I think there's a lot more to her character and you do see snippets of a softer side to her. Before the end scene, she leaves Tony because she doesn't want that life and of all the main characters in the film, it seems she survived.

    Ginger Mc Kenna in Casino. She's a very unlikable character. She's manipulative and ungrateful but I still feel a bit sorry for her because she's so destructive and seems desperate like she doesn't know what's best for herself.

    Sarah Connor in Terminator. She's so sweet and innocent in the beginning of T1 and by T2, she's broken and hardened. She needs to be but it's sad that in order to be as tough as she becomes that it seems she had to lose her other endearing qualities.
