Who would you be?

Since we're on the topic of movies, if you could be the main character in a movie already made, which movie would you select and what character? Assume the role you play would actually happen to/for you.

I would be Monica from Love & Basketball.

I would like to play Vivica A. Fox's role in Soul Food. She had two beautiful children; a husband that cared for her, was faithful, & provided for his family; and she & her sisters had a strong bond. I also liked the fact that after church, the family got together for Sunday dinner, their tradition to celebrate thanks.

Maaaaaaan this is a good topic. CocoaCaramel took mine, well at least one of my top picks.

I gotta go think. There are so many characters.

I would be Whoopi Goldberg's character (the name escapes me) in "Sarafina".

Either Bernadine or Savannah in Waiting to Exhale.

I would play Nia Long's Character on Love Jones......oh that movie is one of my ultimate favorites...

CrimsonTide4 · #11 06-26-2001, 11:17 PM

Ok here is one choice that I have made so far: Stoney, Jada Pinkett's character, in Set It Off.

I am looking forward to my scenes with Blair.

I would hate to lose everyone I love, her parents, brother, and her girls but she played the hell out of that role.

If I were going to be bad I would be Sarah Michelle Gellar's character from Cruel Intentions on the freaky tip. Or Castor Troy from Face/Off on the bada-- tip.

If I were going to be the character that is most like me (in a recent movie), I would be Monica from Love and Basketball.

Anything starring Angela Bassett. All of her characters ooze "strong black woman". I would have played the heck out of Bernadine's part in Waiting to Exhale when she was throwing all of her hubby's clothes in the car... (all dramatic).

But, they would've had to call "Cut! - What are you doing???" on the set of What's Love Got to Do With It. I would've had to flip a few times... "Hold up, --- slap me over a couch, oh see, it's on now..."

You pick the other character that I would have picked. Blair was like WHOA!!!

Pam Grier in JACKIE BROWN. She played that role well. She's just a bad sista IMHO. She has aged well, and I hope to look half as good at her age.
