When it comes to movies, I have numerous of movies that I love so it is very difficult for me to choose a favorite. I love watching movies and love to sit and talk about things that happened in movies with my loved ones. I decided to write a character evaluation on the invented character from the movie “Mrs. Doubtfire”. I will discuss the character Daniel Hillard that was played by Robin Williams. The Movie was based on things that occurred after a bitter divorce, actor (Daniel Hillard) disguises himself as a female housekeeper (Mrs. Doubtfire) in order to spend secret time with his children held in custody by his ex-wife (Miranda HIllard). I believe Daniel fall mostly under the category: Openness to experiment. It seems that Daniel is very talented, imaginative, creative, curious, and sophisticated. In the movie he seemed to be independent, while at the same time, needing to be with his children. He and his wife divorced after being married for numerous of years. They had three children together that resided with their mother after the separation. Daniel was able to make a living by himself by using his talent which was acting. He couldn’t find peace living without his children which is why he refused to live without them. He becomes imaginative and creative when he sought help from his brother and his brother’s lover with creating the fictitious nanny named “Mrs. Doubtfire”. He created Mrs. Doubtfire so that he could be with his children as often as possible.
I found him to have a few things in common with the consciousness, and extroversion. These traits to have effect on the way he made decisions because without the traits he would not have been as independent and creative as he was. He would not have been able to come up with the idea of creating Mrs. Doubtfire. He was trying to deal with being separated from his family the best way that he could. Daniel was so creative and so willing to step out on a limb just to be

    Of all, he has a great sense of humor. It’s sarcastic, casual and it’s pretty similar to my own. For example, the way he worships duck tape: “Yes, of course, duct tape works in a near-vacuum. Duct tape works anywhere. Duct tape is magic and should be worshiped.” or in chapter 11 when he questions: “How come Aquaman can control whales? They’re mammals! Makes no sense.”. He is a light-spirited person and if you were his friend you would be sure to share a laugh with him. Secondly, even though he hardly has real interaction with any other humans in the book, you can tell that he is a nice and understanding person because of the way that he is immediately concerned about his parents when he finds out that he is stranded on Mars. He forgives his crewmates as soon as he realized that they had left him on mars. He knew that they did…

    Well, since I really do not have a favorite movie that I can recall I have decided to write about a character that my kids often talk about and that is Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. My kids often have questions of why he is the way he is looking so sad, being depressed and so reserved. Eeyore seems to fit on the introverted side of the scale and very low on the extraverted side. He is timid, shy, and doesn’t want to bother anyone, it is because of this he is typically alone. Eeyore’s personality is characterized mostly by introverted responses and actions; he is generally short and usually closed off with everyone. He does not like to seek adventure, but it seems to find its way to him through his fellow characters. He also does not like a lot of activity in his life. He is pretty content with a very quiet and boring lifestyle. He typically does not show emotion with others unless they are his close friends such as Tigger, Pooh, and the rest of the characters; however Eeyore seems to still be very reserved with them too. He is typically in a gloomy mood, showing signs of being depressed and very lethargic.…
