Introverts in Movies

I do love seeing introverts being represented in media not as a problem but just a normal thing. It makes us seem less weird and not something to be changed. Since I talked about this in some of my favorite books and musical artists we might as well look at movie characters.

Mr. Darcy

Really any version of him works to show someone that loves a small group and just work at home. But the 2005 edition really highlighted it well. Seeing him be uncomfortable and a little awkward made me laugh in empathy.

Batman

This one was actually brought to my attention and I’m a little surprised I never saw it. Works alone, only lives with Alfred, and gets a little cranky having to work with others. In all the movies out there he is mostly shown alone or with very few people. Any party scenes to keep up his party persona are far between.

Katniss Everdeen

I already talked about this in the books but since the movies were a huge hit I had to add her again. And movies show things differently then books do. You really see how out of place she feels in front of crowds and at events.

Iris: The Holiday

I love this movie, watch it every holiday season. But she lives in a little cabin that kind of hard to get to, especially by car. Full of books and works as a writer. She is unsure of herself sometimes but is good at talking to people.

Belle: Beauty and the Beast

Really, you surprised? She thrived in a pretty empty castle with a enormous library.

Spencer and Martha: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

Neither were shown to have any friends in school. Mostly kept to themselves. But throughout the game everyone saw, one on one, how cool they were. They became more themselves but didn’t change much. Happy with their small group of friends.

Any movies you love that you found with a great introvert in in?
