Nina Sayers (The Black Swan)- 

Nina's character in the black swan reminds me a lot of my character Miah. Nina's hobbies are doing ballet and her compassion and dedication for her dancing is what drives her crazy. Like Nina, Miah is a ballet dancer who uses her dancing to escape from the outside world and let herself go and be herself. Miah's main emotions are nervous and fragile which is very similar to Nina when she is the white swan, who appears innocent and very vulnerable. However when Nina is the black swan she becomes aggressive, intense and very sexual when she dancers which is completely different to Miah who never gains that sort of attention and her dancing is always perfect which is what Nina always strives to have. It's also questioned that my character Miah is having hallucinations which is causing her to believe she is being followed, which is similar to Nina who is fighting another side to her personality. Nina doesn't have a sister and seems very middle class however Miah is very upper class and has a sister who is closely linked to the main plot of the story.

Moll (Inception)- 

Moll played the wife of a man who travels into the subconscious through peoples dreams. She is dead in the film but subconsciously takes over and entrances him into making him believe she is real. I mainly took how Moll looks to help create my character. She is beautiful yet seems to be effortlessly pretty rather than making a huge effort. Miah is like this in the way of how she wears her hear of her face, flattering her features and making her skin seem almost flawless. Also the way she is desperate for routine, which is key in my character's life. However the difference is shown in their emotions Moll can be incredibly aggressive at points to others where as Miah would never usually hurt a fly.

Maggie Grace ( Taken)- 

Maggie plays the daughter in Taken when she is kidnapped when on holiday with her friend. Maggie appears very vulnerable in the film and through out relies on someone to help save her. Miah is very similar needing someone to rescue her as she is very fragile however their is no one their to help her. Also Maggie plays a girl who is at a very similar age to Miah although their interests are very different and so are their morals. Maggie's are very outgoing and careless where as Miah doesn't go out much or experience much of an 18 year olds usual lifestyle. Miah's dress sense is very similar to Maggies character though very simple and child like. The main difference between the two is that Taken's character has a lot of caring family behind her, hence her dad sets of to save her from the kidnappers. My character Miah doesn't have anyone to talk too.
