Day 19 - Favourite Female Character in a Movie

Angie would probably laugh her heart out if I would say Storm in the X-Men Series, though I do like her character, even in the cartoon version. Then there's Vivian in Pretty Woman, and probably the reason why it's my favourite romantic movie. So I guess I'll have to talk about another movie's character which I liked a lot - Mia in The Princess Diaries.

Well even though Julie Andrews played her part really really well, it's Mia's character that made it a really enjoyable show. Just like Vivian who transforms from a prostitute to a lady, Mia transforms from a regular, or rather nerdy, and slightly unpopular teenager, into a princess. It's the transformation process that is the whole show, but it was rather interesting to see how they can first change a beautiful actress into a really geeky teenager with almost unibrows and braces. Then to show the whole process of getting that actress back.

However, it was the growing up part that probably hit close to home. The time when all of us girls grow up and start to pick on how every thing on us looks. Where, at a certain point, all of us have to grow up and take responsibility. Much more relatable than a prostitute turning into a lady.
