Alpha Males: Natural Born Leaders
There are several movie characters that hold great standing, but then, they are fewer characters that possess a reputation that is erected on just moments that would reflect on how I feel about myself; Robert DeNiro is that person whose on-screen body language makes him a natural born leader, and the mannerisms help to boost his alpha male persona, which propels his characters to another level. Furthermore, he captures the personalities that he is projecting, from movies like Bronx Tail, Taxi Driver, to the God father, he explodes on the screen, but the one that captures his true persona is Goodfellas.
Without a doubt, this is one of the utmost electrifying and dominating male characters out in Hollywood who …show more content…
These gentlemen who were not afraid of anything or anybody. These men were brave and natural born leaders who stood up for what they believed Nicola Culley stated in an article for natural born leaders: “If there is something worrying you then you either air it and leave it behind or keep it to yourself and move on” (1). Furthermore, someone who is able to be a natural born leader who has that alpha male presence in addition to the body language and a voice that is commanding attention, that is only portrayed from mannerism that makes the bearer as more ceremonious for others to follow.

In the study of leaders, Cowley refers to an approach in which “Leadership obviously is not a simple trait, but rather a complex of numerous traits fashioned together as a unity” ( pp.144 ). Leaders are the ones who adapt with change, and they always make sure that they never allow situation to build up, and they either put it on the table and discuss it or forget about it and never bring it up again. That is also what DeNiro’s character Jimmy was like. If there was a problem or grief with someone they took care of it and moved on, or else he or she never brought up the topic again. Denise Levertov’s poem which talks about grief states, “Ah, grief, I should not treat you / like a homeless dog / who comes to the back door/ for a crust for a meatless bone. / I should trust you” (line 1- 5). Nevertheless, it is always good to remember that trust needs to be earned and not given freely. That is when wrong decisions are made in life. Being a natural born leader I must make sure I use all my resources around me to make the right decision as well as change the situation I can, or will be left behind and unable to take care of those who depends on me to protect
