The Revenant: Celebrities

Many celebrities are looked at as role models, their behaviors and comments are always right in some people’s eyes. Although some celebrities are aware they are idols for some people and try to promote healthy behaviors and bring awareness to global issues. Other celebrities don’t bother; they act wild and make bad decisions. People look at celebrities and think “they’re wealthy and successful so I need to act just like them if I want to become wealthy and successful also.” If someone’s idol acts like a jerk then that person will think that it’s okay to act that way when it’s not.

The rich and powerful have been looked up to as gods from the beginning of time. In the short essay response, Collin Palmer argues celebrity obsessions are over exaggerated. In Palmers short essay response, he explains how people overestimate the influence celebrities have on others. Even though Palmer is correct that celebrities can inspire and be idolized in a positive way, modern times and recent celebrities have shown that it can also be the complete opposite.

Most films with the actor, Leonardo DiCaprio are successful because of his great acting, large fan base, and great looks. The Great Gatsby is another film where DiCaprio should have won

When Leonardo DiCaprio won his first Oscar, the crowd practically exploded with excitement. His acceptance speech was allowed to run on longer than the typical 45 seconds due to all of his previous nominations that did not end in him acquiring an Oscar. He made no jokes about, for instance, how he’s been nominated so many times without receiving an Oscar that he didn’t prepare a speech. Instead, he was humble, and spent his time thanking those who have helped him come as far as

So many people have said, with regards to the Meryl-Trump incident that Celebrities don’t represent them, and that celebrities should stay out of politics. Here’s the thing: Celebrities many not represent each one of us individually, but rather a group of us as a whole. They show us that we can fulfill our dreams if we choose to work for it. They bring out the emotions that we never thought anyone else could possibly understand. Hollywood creates characters that are easy to find connections with. Of course, you may never have been a sharecropper in the 1930’s, but you can certainly identify with certain aspects of the sharecropper on the screen. Movies, Television, Film, etc. are all devices that matter because they work to try to give every

The growing connection between politics and Hollywood has happened for a number of reasons, in a somewhat cyclical fashion. Politicians need Hollywood stars to support their campaigns because celebrities are useful in fundraising attempts and recognition. They have the advantages of fame, wealth, and can easily command press attention. In return, celebrities endorse candidates whose policies are beneficial to their industry. For example, while Clinton was in office he argued for “industry self-regulation and a television rating system, as opposed to formal government regulation” (Ormand and West 38). For this and other reasons, Hollywood stars donated large sums of money to Democratic candidates in return. In 2000, Hollywood contributed $20 million to Democrats as opposed to the $13 million that was contributed to the less Hollywood-friendly Republican party (Ormand and West 40).

Have you ever wondered what influences us to behave the way we do? Look a certain way? Or even looked for an explanation to what causes us to apply a certain perspective regarding personal and controversial issues? One of the answers to these questions may revolve around the influence we absorb from celebrities. A definitive term for celebrity is an iconic figure to a category or group who has achieved success in one or multiple aspects of their lives. As a result, these individuals have drawn in publicity and fame. Over the years with the advances in media and other forms of communication, celebrities have become topics of discussion worldwide, rather if it’s at school, with colleagues or at the dinner table, it is fair to say that

Celebrities are everywhere in the news, the latest gossip appears in the weekly magazines without fail. Whether they be an actor, athlete, dancer, designer, model, singer or just rich; there is someone out there who is watching that person like a hawk, not letting a single breath go unnoticed. Such is the life of the rich and famous, under the incessant gaze of journalists and the paparazzi. Lives that many people take a great interest in and admire to the point where others would liken this great interest and admiration to a cult-like worship of celebrities. This is a brief description of what I think to be celebrity culture.

Who actually sees a celebrity as a hero? In today's world many celebrities are seen as self-absorbed, don’t care about anything other than their appearance or gaining more wealth and fame. While on the other hand, I see that there are actually many celebrities, who see passed the same and fortune and believe in doing good in society. Showing us the heroic side to the fame and money. One person who comes to mind when I think of these qualities is Ellen DeGeneres. She may not be seen as your ordinary hero, but to me she is, showing off her wonderful traits of being thoughtful, caring, and charitable.

famous for should be enough for a person to be able to function in society.

I really hate the part of our culture where people want to come for celebrities when they feel they have done something problematic, but then completely ignore those same individuals when they correct their problematic behavior as well as do many other positive things with their influence. I will be the first to say there are a lot of extremely unjust practices and behaviors in what we see in the media and the lives/actions of celebrities, but spreading hate for those that actively attempt to make a positive impact with their influence and even recognize and correct their problematic behavior when it happens is completely idiotic and a step in the wrong direction. I get that everyone has their own opinions on what appeals to them in entertainment,

What distinguishes Clooney from other famous people is that he reliably acts as you wish other famous people would act and does what you wish other famous people would do: which is the right thing.

Based on Michael Punke’s 2002 semi-biographical novel entitled the same, The Revenant showcased the gritty and savage survival story of the 19th century fur-trapper, Hugh Glass, whose account of Ree Indian ambush, succeeding bear attack and subsequent survival became a revered legend in the United States of America. The motion picture not only succeeded in its attempt for a remarkable visual narrative, it also provided a substantial twist that remedied the missing emotional motivation in the historical Hugh Glass’ pursuit for revenge through the exploit of a fictive deep emotional attachment between Glass as notably portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio, his native Indian Pawnee wife and their mixed-race son, Hawk.

In the grand scheme of things, what one human being does doesn’t actually have truly lasting impact, at least, not on the universe, and rarely, the world. For many people, accomplishing something that will be remembered for years and years is the ultimate goal, but very few can actually achieve that dream. When it comes to those who are remembered, it can seem extremely random. You’d think that if you were for example, president of the United States, you’d be remembered, but no one remembers William Henry Harrison, who was the ninth president of America. Entertainers are actually more commonly remembered by the world. One such example is Charlie Chaplin. Anyone who is familiar with film or film history knows who Chaplin is, and how he was and

People were not exposed to barrage of news about celebrities a couple of decades ago. Mass media is becoming more garden because of rapid progress on technology day by day. Thereby, people are substantially interested in the private life of celebrities, and some of them are obsessed with celebrities. They desire to know everything about them. For instance, who is dating with whom, where they are shopping, or what they wear. In a word public have an endless hunger for more information. However, the public doesn't have the right to know about every single detail of celebrities' private lives due to several reasons.
