Rogue One is about the rebel alliance trying to obtain plans from the evil empire for a massive weapon called the Death Star. It is capable of destroying an entire planet. Romanticism in this movie contains imagination over reason, intuition over fact, out-of-the-ordinary settings and characters, and grotesque characters. In this movie, there is a lot of imagination over reason and intuition over fact. An example is that a galaxy far far away actually exists. The rebel alliance is imagining that the galaxy will become free again, but the truth is the empire will still rule the galaxy. Also, the empire imagined that because of the Death Star that they would be invincible and that no one could stop their reign of power. But the truth was, the senate would help assemble the rebel alliance to destroy the empire, so they could bring peace and justice to the galaxy.

    He watched Ben get killed and he almost died if Han did not come back and save him during the final battle. Han and Ben can be considered as his guardians, who gave him assistance.I think that Dart Vader is the most famous character in the Star Wars universe. Darth Vader is the epitome of evil and Luke is the complete opposite of his father. He was an innocent child then became a great Jedi Knight and turned into the dark side. Han Solo is a funny character, but deep down he is serious and has a kind nature. Lea is a beautiful and strong leader of the resistance and just happens to be Luke's sister which would make her Dart Vader's daughter as well. All these different characteristics, personalities and story development are the main reasons we are drawn. In a way, the Star Wars saga can be relate in our life. For example, A police has a duty to protect, serve, defend the citizens and enforce the law. These are Jedi Knight principles.

Darth Vader is an example of relationships to machines because he is more machine than man, as an antagonist in Star Wars.

    Formalistic filmmaking involves the director's unique aesthetic view of how the film should be presented to the audience. While realistic films are presented with a style of "how it appears onscreen is how it would be seen if present during the events of the film", formalistic expression allows the style of the director to shine through and impress upon the audience somewhat of a "distorted" reality. The various techniques of filmmaking are used to present a stylization of reality by manipulating certain aspects, such as camera angles and movements or the use of editing to warp time and space. These manipulations are often made to be obvious choices by the director in order to call attention to his own style.…

The most common misconception of war is from the stories that have battle portrayed as a heroic and valiant thing, the army as orderly and structured, and warfare tactics depicted as reasonable. In these movies and stories, the superior side of proficient warriors emerge triumphant, while the inferior side of seemingly lackadaisical enemy soldiers die. In Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers, the author dispels romanticism around war through his graphic, detailed descriptions of battle, how the war affects the soldiers both physically and mentally throughout the fight, as well as thend ways that they cope with the stress of combat?…

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.…

    Although he was a Romantic poet, Byron saw much of his best work as descriptions of reality as it exists, not how it is imagined. Thus, the subjects of numerous of his poems come from history and personal experience. The “Darkness” was written to reflect the mass madness that arose out of susceptible visionary understandings related to the natural disaster of a volcano’s eruption. He also uses the themes of life and death to show its importance during the Romantic Era. The theme of nature is also brought up throughout the poem which is another theme of the Romantic Era.…
