There are many characters in many films, but there are some that stand out from the rest. These characters are memorable because there is something outstandingly different about them, and that is what I am going to explore, so that I can make my characters memorable.
Jack Sparrow - Pirates of the Carribean
The beauty of this character is that he is instantly recognisable. He is a cool character, who manages to sneak and charm his way out of things. He speaks with a distinct accent, and has a few catchphrases, such as "Savvy?", "Bugger" and "Snip Snip". Some other popular phrases of his include, "You're forgetting one very important thing, mate - I'm Captain Jack Sparrow" and "Why is the rum gone?" His dress code is so unique that if someone went to a fancy dress party wearing a triangle hat, dredlocks and a goatee type style beard made into two long braids, they would be instantly recognised as Captain Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp's charisma and talent are what makes Jack Sparrow such a memorable character.
Mary Poppins
Mary Poppings is the epitome of an English nanny. She is strict, well-spoken, but also fun. One of her most famous catchphrases is "Spitspot", and her song "A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down" is known worldwide. Her character is known by all generations, and is another popular choice for fancy dress parties as her uniform and pristine appearance is very recognisable.
This is an example of a Mary Poppins costume for children, demonstrating the success of her character. The umbrella was a quirk of hers that she used to fly with, adding that bit of magic to the character. Julie Andrews did a "Marvellous" performance as Mary Poppins in the 1964 film, and her character will continue to be known for decades.
