10 Adored Movie Characters You'd Learn to Hate in Real Life

4. Oskar Schindler - Schindler's List

Who He Is in the Movie: The Heavy-Hearted Savior of Thousands Who He Is in Real Life: The Friend Who Sleeps with All Your Exes I'm grateful that a man like Schindler existed and that he did what he did and that through his efforts many Jews survived the horror that was the Holocaust. This is not an entry to make light of his accomplishments and flat-out say, "You'd hate Schindler in real life." This is to say that his character portrayal in the movie had a very keen interest in all things feminine. Let's not forget that Schindler's List is funny. Very funny, in fact. There are plenty of scenes played for humor (one of my favorites is when he's hiring a secretary) and the movie refuses to pull any punches to illuminate the womanizing side of the man. And in real life, your girlfriend just wouldn't be safe. He may not go for them when they're dating you, but the moment they step within their single status, Schindler would blow through the "bro code" faster than Charlie Sheen could clear out every street corner in Detroit. Just imagine walking into your dorm room from a hard day of classes in college and finding yourself shouting, "Really, Oskar? That's the fourth one today!"

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
