Character
We see people every day and each is wholly individual, unique. So why is it so hard to make one live beyond the novel or film: a Hercule Poirot, an Indiana Jones, a Ripley in Alien? It's how they react with others and under pressure and being able to convey real human qualities on the page or screen. No easy task.
