Lost In The Sun Romanticism
Josh Duhamel known for his ever romantic and swooning roles in NBC's Las Vegas, a protagonist in Transformers and New Year's Eve, will be seen leading a string of robberies in a new drama movie Lost in the Sun, set for release this week. This new change in profile, from a romantic lead, is a new change for Duhamel and one that he is excited about.

Duhamel will play John, a small time crook and ex-convict going around the state in a string of robberies with a newly orphaned teenager he kidnapped named Louis. The movie is directed and written by Trey Nelson.

This movie is quite different from his portfolio, since it's definitely not romantic. So in turn, he gets to shed his romantic bones.

The former Transformers star muses that this time

    John Chicklider Essay

    Jake Gyllenhaal, however, is more than qualified to do this. It doesn't take much research of Licklider to realize how (for lack of a better word) odd he was. Licklider mostly kept to himself, unless it involved his work. He had few close friends, and was considered to be incredibly socially awkward. All of these characteristics I see in many of the characters Gyllenhaal has portrayed. In Nightcrawler, Gyllenhaal portrayed a psychotic criminal photographer who shows many of the same characteristics as a sociopath. Demolition, Gyllenhaal plays a man who realizes after the death of his wife that he really didn't know her. He literally destroys his life to start a new in hopes of determining what his true purpose in life is. These are just two of what seems to be an endless amount of movies where Gyllenhaal portrays someone who acts far from normal. While Licklider was more than just the idea man for many inventions of the Digital Age, but it was his visions of the future technological advancements that he had for the human race that he is known. He clearly had a visionary mind, and I believe that Jake Gyllenhaal could accurately portray him in a…

    The movie "Shawshank Redemption", written and directed by Frank Darabont is about Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) who in 1947 is sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison for the murders of his wife and her lover. However, only Andy knows that he didn't commit the crimes. Sent to Shawshank Prison to do hard time, Andy, a banker in the outside world has to learn to get by in the brutal, cutthroat confines of prison life as he is subjected to vicious attacks from the guards and his fellow in-mates. His quiet strength slowly earns the respect of his fellow inmates, most notably, Red (Morgan Freeman) and even much of the prison staff. His previous experience as a banker also earns him favor with the guards and the warden as he begins to launder money for them all. In return, Andy is permitted special privileges which include working in the warden's office and building a library for the rest of the prison. But Andy's seemingly stoic acceptance of his unjust imprisonment hides a fierce determination for freedom, especially after his innocence is proven seventeen years later. Eventually, after serving nineteen years of his sentence, the warden uncovers a series of events which leaves Shawshank sinking in scandal and Andy Dufresne nowhere to be found.…

    A bachelors degree, a well to do family, money, potential, intelligence are all extremely sought after traits in every young up and comer, yet one of our brightest, most promising prospects traded those desirables for a life of exploration and person freedom. In Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, a tale of a boy with the worlds possibilities at his fingertips was found dead in an abandoned bus in the Alaska bush after years of nomadic existence. This boy, Chris McCandless, never settled for the path that was laid before him, he understood his potential and felt that in order to make the most of it, he must live the life that was most important to him. This story of romanticism and individuality can be explained no better than through the use of…

    Jim Crow Era Romanticism

    • 536 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The themes of racial retribution and the romanticism of slavery can be seen during the Jim Crow Era (1877 – 1950s) and over the current debates over the removal of Confederate statues. Iniatally after the Turner’s rebellion, Virginia did take the inaitative to debate about abolishing the institution as a whole in their state but unfortunately the pro-slavery side won and that led to the inactment of slave codes and other laws (ex. making it illegal to teach slaves how to read) meant to further oppresses free blacks and slaves. Following the end of the Civil War (1861 – 1965) and Reconstruction (1863 – 1877), the south began passing racially motivated laws like segregating black or colored people to the worst parts of cities, making it difficult…

    As the Enlightenment had a firm hold in France during the last decades of the 18th century, so the Romantic view on science was a movement that flourished in Great Britain and especially Germany in the first half of the 19th century.[5] Both sought to increase individual and cultural self-understanding by recognizing the limits in human knowledge through the study of nature and the intellectual capacities of man. The Romantic movement, however, resulted as an increasing dislike by many intellectuals for the tenets promoted by the Enlightenment; it was felt by some that Enlightened thinkers' emphasis on rational thought through deductive reasoning and the mathematization of natural philosophy had created an approach to science that was too cold…

    Romanticism, commonly known as American romanticism, is writing in which feelings and intuition are valued over reason. It had a great influence over literature, music, and painting in the early eighteenth and well through the nineteenth centuries. It was commonly thought of as a trip into our imagination and could be written as stories, music, and paintings, but it was mainly found in poetry. In this essay, I will discuss the romantic qualities of “The Devil and Tom Walker” by Washington Irving, “Thanatopsis” by William Cullen Bryant, and “The Pit and the Pendulum” by Edgar Allen Poe.…

    Hamlet Argument

    • 947 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The popular movie star, Denzel Washington, has multiple experiences in acting as both the protagonist and antagonist. On the other hand, Bruce Willis, another popular movie star, has no experience as the antagonist at all, therefore, the scene of Hamlet trying to disguise himself as a crazy person will not fit for Bruce. Denzel Washington is an open minded man because he does not mind acting as the antagonist character in movies; nevertheless, he has a great reputation in acting as both the hero and the villain. He manages to overcome movies that are out of his comfort zone. In example, Denzel Washington played in the movie, “Flight.” In this movie, he starts off as an alcoholic pilot who ends up saving the thousands of people. This reveals the significance of his act because he struggles to be a vigorous person at the beginning of the…

    In the film Inside Man, it is interesting how Russell sat besides the wall in the bank for a whole week straight explaining how his plan is going to work in a few short words. Clive Owen who plays Dalton Russell, is always showed wearing a mask and is leading the robbers, hostages, and the situation in the bank. Denzel Washington plays Detective Keith Frazier who is the leader of the scene and starts issuing demands. There are no previous relationships between the actors, but Owen has played in saving hostages in film Shoot ‘Em Up. Originally Ron Howard was to direct this film, but he backed out to do Cinderella Man and Spike Lee took over. Inside Man was Spike Lee 's most financially successful film and it led to many offers for the director to make more bank heist films.…
