: : I have a movie review in store on Traffic; it is rather a difficult movie to type the characters since we only saw flashes of the characters during a short period in time. Any suggestions?

: : Jan

: My 2-6-01 post

: The new 'hit' movie about the various sides of the illegal mexican/us drug world.
: Filmed in over 150 locations with three different types of film giving a different
: asthetic for the mexican, california and east coast stories.

: michael douglas-Head of us anti-drug task force. 8w9 ISTJ, what else? Though
: 6w5 is arguable as he recklously goes searching for his daughter in a city ghetto.
+++ Vigilant Style? I can't help seeing Douglas narcissistic style in the role......

: his wife-7? freedom giving to daughter.
+++ Dramatic Style? she wanted to be liked; not confronting her daughter with the drug abuse she knew about


: his daughter-4w5 NFP. As usual, the rebellious self destructive daughter is a 4.
: And they are always only children in the movies. One day I hope this long wornout
: stereotype dies.
+++ I don't think Leisurely/Passive agressive is the good typing; she says in the move she gets stressed by her need to have control....could be an indication of Vigilant Style....

: benecio del toro-9w8 ISFP. seemingly a good guy on the side of the law also an
: independant life survivor. this guy is very different and I think its because he is strongly
: kinesthetic.
++++ could be self defeating character (masochistic) with depressive style traits

: del toros sidekick-6w7 dependant, likable reactive, cannot stop talking and displays
: poor instincts as to who to trust.
+++ yes; agree with Dependent Style

: mexican assasin-4w3
+++ compensatory narcissistic style?

: mexican general-3w2 or 2w3 or 7w6 enfj corrupt, duplicitous and manipulative.
+++ narcissistic/paranoid?


: catherine zeba-jones-7w8 ISFP or ESTP. she is a seemingly soft housewife until her husband
: is jailed and they are death threatened. Then her naturally hard personality comes
: alive and she masterminds a scheme to kill her husbands snitch, take over the drug
: business in san diego, and get her husband out of jail.
+++ I would say: rebellious Dependent Style (devoted)


: her husband-3w2 ESF/TP sleezy drug dealer concerned only with himself and his
: empire.
+++ yeah; anti social Adventurous Style

: black cop-6w7 ESFJ. for some reason I identified with this character.
+++ ? histrionic character?

: businessman busted for drug dealing-3w4 ESTJ/P. totally out of touch with any
: ethics or morality. able to rationalize any justification for his corrupt life.
+++ histrionic/dramatic style
