Martin Scorsese made a movie called "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore". I really like a little girl in it. She was only a supporting character, played by Jodie Foster (later famous for her role as abducted teenage prostitute Iris in Martin's Car Driver).
She was a little girl, but she looked like a boy, acted like an adult, and acted like a freak. She taught another little boy to drink alcohol, and taught him to steal guitar strings from the musical instrument store. When they were caught stealing in the supermarket, she said it was the supermarket's fault. Before her mother led her away, she raised her hand and challenged: "Goodbye, bastards!" (Picture 3). She calls her mother by her first name, and her favorite catchphrase is Weird (weird).
I like people like this, probably because they're real, their tricks aren't loud, unreasonable or grandstanding, they're funny and funny, they can always make the world less serious and dull, and their existence is very important to hypocrisy and falsehood. Orthodoxy is also a challenge. Just like Mike Murphy, the protagonist in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
