Americans celebrate National Hermit Day on the 29th of October each year. The date provides an opportunity to recognize a lifestyle choice that has both advantages and disadvantages, but is not a realistic long-term choice for most people. However, some choose to use the day to get away from it all and de-stress by spending some time alone to recharge.
By definition, a hermit is a person who has withdrawn from society and lives a solitary existence; a recluse. In cinema, hermit characters can offer an interesting narrative twist to a story, although the hermit lifestyle is followed for only a portion of most films.
Which of these selected hermit characters, who live a solitary existence in the period immediately preceding and/or for at least a portion of the cited feature-length movie, is best-suited to the hermit lifestyle?Discuss the topic here. #NationalHermitDay
