Your Favorite Movie and TV Show Characters to Learn From

[Protean]

I'm the type of guy who loves examples. Book theory is fine and dandy, but seeing how things are supposed to be done in real life, away from the text, has always been very helpful.

Seduction is no different. Here are some of my favorite movie and TV show characters that I've learned from.

Tommy Shelby from Peaky Blinders:

Cillian Murphy kills this role. Tommy has world class body language and frame control. While he's a bit of a hard ass (for valid reasons) he's very charming in a quiet, brooding way.

Rick Blaine from Casablanca

One of my favorite movies of all time. Infinitely quotable, a love story that does not devolve into silly tropes, and Humphrey Bogart at his best. Like Tommy, Rick is a bit of a cynical prick so I wouldn't emulate his personality exactly, but man is he cool. Just look at how hard Ugarte tries to win Rick's approval in the linked scene, or how Rick smoothly kicks out the unwanted patron from the VIP lounge. This character has really influenced me a lot.

Yuddy from Days of Being Wild

First read about Yuddy from a GirlsChase article and man he is just so cool. This movie sees Yuddy seduce two very different types of women (the linked scene being the more demure of the two the other is more feisty). Leslie Chung's body language in the film is world class and his teasing, tongue in cheek vibe is very much like my style of game.

Which on screen personalities have you taken a lot from? Lots of different kinds of guys on here so it'd be very interesting to see what characters get shared.

Couldn't agree more

For verbals (and delivery of said verbals), I like to take inspiration from seducer characters in films that already fit either my natural style or personality

Personality: manipulative

Game Style: charming asshole

examples:

Hache from Tres Metros Sobre El Cielo:

Frank Abagnale Jr from Catch Me If You Can:

Valmont from Dangerous Liaisons:

--------------------------------------------------
For Non-verbals (body language, eye contact, facial expressions, smile, head movement, walk) I like Benecio Del Toro. Specifically this compilation clip, someone put together of scenes from various movies he was in, where he does cool shit:

He's not classically good looking but there's something so sexy about him.

Yuddy! I fucking love that character/movie

Cool thread, I'll have to think on some of my favorite movie seducers.

 

[YS.]

I remember 5 off the head.

1) The Main Guy from Vicky Christina Barcelona
2) Anyone from Entourage. It's a great show for game in general. Big fan of E and Ari Gold. Never really relating to Vince that much but even him was great to model.
3) A bit unrealistic but Harvey Specter from Suits. I hate too perfect characters but he is borderline imo.
4) Rodger Dodger. Probably the best movie on PU. Great for inner game. It's not all sunshine and rainbows.
5) Swingers. I lied. This is the best PU movie of all time. Abundance vs. Scarcity. Inner game. Having a blast picking up chicks with your friend. Yearly watch.

Cool @Protean. Love a good movie share.

Leonardo decaprio in romeo and juliet - perfect vibe of slight intimate and confident interest display - makes women weak in the knees type vibe

Sean Connory in james bond DR NO, the casino scene. So many details of great seduction in this.

Booth Jonatans shift to deadpan boldness and provocovative use of distance

Not a direct seducer, but on the process of seductive interaction - or how i use the space to impact women.

Point is be like serena albeit less naive - just use your appearance and escalatory doings to gradually impact girls sequentially like she does to Danny boy. And herself.

Check similar thread we did not nextasf but were we outline the specifics of whats going on in the vids.

I'm about to watch 'spread' (ashton Kutcher)
Saw it recommended in a similar thread to this one, elsewhere

 

[Indian Race Troll (IRT)]

I know he did not get enough recognition on the show but MAN Chepe from season 3 of Narcos was pure alpha male through and through. I think as an actor he was even well above Pablo Escobar in the show, sucks that he did not get enough recognition.

Also in Narcos Mexico, Amado was alpha male through and through, so looking forward to him being the main villain in season 3.

 

[James D]

One cool thing I recently picked from the older sex symbols like James Dean, Sean Connery and Marlon Brando is stillness.
The difference in stillness between old and new sex symbols is very significant.

A natural friend of mine is very still in a comfortable and smooth way. He just seems more powerful than everyone around him.

I don't really understand it but stillness has so many effects on my energy. I feel like it's vibrating from within if that makes sense.

I model after Sean Connery's Bond cause that's the closest to my personality (James Dean is too broody).

Since yesterday I focused on stillness and boy did it make a difference. I feel more energy in my face and eye contact too.

And when I get very animated, I channel my energy in my face and my hands but the rest of my body is perfectly still.

Only catch here to to ensure you don't come across as stiff or robotic but that gets away my making being comfortable a priority.

 

[Indian Race Troll (IRT)]

One more character I forgot to add from Narcos, Javi Pena! Even in real life the dude was a total badass but the actor Pedro Pascal is a total boss in general.

 

[Chrance]

Henry Beatty as Clyde in Bonnie and Clyde 1967

There’s an intro scene of Clyde and Bonnie walking together that I’ve been trying to find, which leads them to the scene above. The whole movie is great.

Edit:
Found that scene

 

[BigPapa]

I am more a hank moody type of guy , I would say

 

[Don Giovanni]

la grande belleza main character. the way he communicates so much so powerfully with just his body language. every time i watch the movie it reminds me to talk less.

 

[RustinKohle]

A low key funny seducer in most of his roles is Jason sudeikis. Great with playful banter and transitions from the banter

 

[Mr.Rob]

Just watched Top Gun which I have seen since I was a kid. Pretty good seduction throughout the movie but most notably Tom Cruises facial expressions, eye contact, and proximity we're the most standout features of the initial approach in the bar scene:

Top Gun Bar Pickup Scene

While the approach is a bit corny and perhaps doesn't obey the law of least effort (you see at first the girl is looking around like "wtf") he does manage to get the entire bar on his side and he's leading the energy of the entire bar as essentially the coolest guy in there so he has massive social proof all of a sudden and she has to take him.

Also notice the proximity closure when he enters the ladies room.

Bonus for handling the male Challenger in the beginning.

Tom Cruises fundamentals are great throughout whole movie. Particularly his facial expressions. A joy to take notes on.

Not PUA or anything but Russel Crowe in GLADIATOR.. Really oozed masculinity.. Even how he played with earth in his hands before every battle. That guy was total charisma there,

Are you not entertained? Is this not why you were here? *throws sword and spits in ground.

 

[DarkKnight]

The last samurai

Now hear me out.. the movie has more merit than only being a cool war movie which is also hugely historically inaccurate. It is actually a very beautiful depiction of how "stillness" can translate into beauty and elegance,

Would not say take a lot. More of like here n there.

- Justin Bieber (Don't laugh. Lolx)
- Joe Black (1998)
- Taeyang (BIGBANG)
when he is going to the audience on live stage
- Robert Downey Jr (Ironman)

I'm sure there's more here n there. All this add up without compromising who one really is.

Aldo Raine one of my favorite characters.

He's very calm in this situation. here's the most famous and beautiful actress in Germany. He's showing calmness and extreme indifference to her. He's so indifferent he's going to kill her if he himself gets killed. she's just there, for the ride. at the same time he wants to rescue her in a non-simpy way. and she ends up killing the guy.

Here we have the actress again. Its like don't mind how out of place we may be. Talk to this girl right here - because you want to. He acts calm and indifferent in the situation again - outcome independence. She gets them in.

i think this movie is very game aware and an interesting in contrast to another Tarantino film Django Unchained where basically the plot of the movie is Django trying to be a hero and find and save some girl that is sucking off slave fighters where he could instead be a badass bounty hunter and make $$$ lol

 

[DarkKnight]

Not really a movie but I really like the Rome documentary where they focus on Julius Caesar is one season across multiple episodes. Caesars dynamism, agressiveness and ambition is truly a gold standard of how perseverant a man should be (barring the war crimes lol).

I find it great to rewatch this show right now because it helps me to stop with procastrinating.
