Eine Hommage an die besten Filmfiguren aller Zeiten

Beim Titel dieser Compilation von Vugar Efendi hatte ich zunächst an eine der guten alten „Breaking the fourth wall“-Supercuts gedacht (und mich gewundert, wieso auf dem Titelbild gar nicht zu „mir“ geschaut wird…). Dabei geht es aber gar nicht um stilistische, sondern um qualitative Belange. „Here’s Looking At You“ zollt einigen der tollsten und prägendsten Charaktere der Filmgeschichte Tribut – muss man ja auch mal machen.

„At the end of the day, you remember the movies not for the most intricate plot twists or the elaborate set pieces but rather the characters and the emotions they convey. The best characters are the ones that write their own stories and forever live in our memories. Here’s to 138 years of movie characters!“
