Character Representation

There are many different characters when it comes to movies. There are also different roles played in every movie. Most characters are considered to be male or female. Even if it is behind a creature, there is still a woman or a man behind the character. The male and female characters have been making changes in the role they play in movies over the years. The movie, The Fast and the Furious have many different kinds of characters. Letty and Dom are two of the many main characters in this movie. Letty and Dom both play in this major action movie dealing with fast cars and the intensity of everyday life and also the love they have for one another. Letty and Dom both make a major statement when it comes to being sexist in this dramatic action movie. Dom and Letty are more like the new modern day Bonnie and Clyde. Letty is Dom's partner in crime, and she is always by his side. They both have been in love with one another through all of the Fast and Furious movies. They have always stuck by each other’s side throughout the squeal of The Fast and the Furious movies. Letty proves how immense she is, and she is always proving that she can do just what Dom does in the movie. She proves her loyalty to him and he does the same. They both have this vendetta about them that allows them to keep going hard for one another. 3

When you have two characters who are both fearless and fearful of anything and isn’t afraid to go to war for one another anything is possible. Letty is originally a tomboy who isn’t afraid to get her nails dirty. She knows just as much as Dom knows about cars and how to drive them. They both are family oriented. The love they have for their family is tremendously incredible like none other that I have ever seen in a movie. They both love to race cars with their family as well. They consider them as family. Dom and Letty are both very strong people, and they both have what it takes to love. It’s either all or none with both of them. The love they have for one another is hardcore and miraculous. In this particular movie, they wanted us to see two strong, talented characters do the same thing. This movie shows that men and women can do the same thing and play similar roles. The Fast and the Furious is a very intense action movie that required both male and female characters to play a big role. It required both of them to explore and feel what it is like to be racing cars. They both are heartless but in good ways. One thing they don’t play about is their family. They will ride or die for them, and they have proved that for the past six years. In this movie, I don’t think there was a dominant character. They wanted to make sure that we all knew that they both loved fast cars, each other, and their families. They both made a strong point in this movie. Letty and Dom can both also be seen as sex objects when it comes to playing in movies. That's why they both have such a strong connection and they go together well. They both have great bodies and the attitude it takes to become the character that the producer was looking for in this movie.

Both of these characters achieved and became great at what they do and the roles that they play in these movies. Dom and Letty can both dominate together without her getting judged for doing the job of a man. Now, today, there isn't a right or wrong way to do things in movies. Whether you are a male or a female, the representation that both of these characters give is amazing. They both love what they do for one another. They both represent something in the movie. They both obviously compliment each other. In today’s society, the outlooks on movies are changing for the better. Producers are looking for both male and females now to play the role of a man. It doesn’t only have to be a man driving a fast car or working on a car. It can also be women as well driving fast cars and working on them. It shows how women can be dominant as well as men in this extreme thriller. Dom and Letty both made an impeccable statement on one another and even their families.
