Analysis Of Dali: Love At First Sight

Improved Essays
Although it is a controversial belief, love at first sight can be defined as falling in love with “someone” for the first time after just seeing him or her. Falling in love has been described as an ability, a concept, and/or feeling of love when with or without your significant other or crush. Now, the big word, Love, is a controversial meaning through cultures, novels, and even people. There have been varied definitions all aligned with an overwhelming feeling. The exact phrase “love at first sight” means immediate feeling of strong said love, lust, or attraction to a single person, place, or thing upon seeing them, this idiom originated from Western Literature. Yet, as a lover-less and outside life-less woman I have not experienced …show more content…
This new medium of documenting stories through a camera lens is and has become the forefront in logically defining the love at first sight conundrum. Notable documentaries on the science behind love at first sight include, Dali: Love at First Sight, Love at First Sight: America 's Affair with the Rose, Love at First Sight: A Micro-Documentary. Dali: Love at First Sight is actually a tour documentary of the city, holding the same name, in China to invite travellers that they will feel an overwhelming lust to want to be in that city. Although it is a different technique, it broadens the definition again to not only a person, but to a place. Love at First Sight: America’s Affair with the Rose is about the mass-market of roses and why they are so popular. It was recently released and thousands of horticulture industry leaders cannot stop recommending the twenty-six minute documentary on the planting of roses. This documentary is another reflection of the definition and the importance of how love at first sight is a new feeling towards not only a person, or a place, but also now a product. Love at First Sight: A Micro-Documentary is the only documentary listed that actually tells the story of two people who met out of the blue and fell in love. The one-minute and twenty-nine second documentary is on a …show more content…
Shakespeare defined love at first sight as star-crossed lovers. Zeke and Selina characterized love at first sight as watching their life flash before their eyes, but with their new counterpart in it. There have been many definitions, some old myths and legends while others actual non-fiction stories. I believe in the origin of this phrase was Western Literature and most writers and story-tellers recall an instance where something happens to them or a friend and write about it. I believe this overwhelming feeling of “love” empowered new heights in the myths, sonnets, and live videos. Love at first sign means to see for the first time, a person, place, and/or thing that entangles the on-looker into an overwhelmingly large feeling of lust, love or

    The Great Gatsby Love is a strange and undefinable emotion, the concepts and ideas about love are very broad, but one thing is not: It is powerful. Love makes people vulnerable, it may seem like a bullet that pierces through your perpetuity, but what is a person without vulnerability. People are born from that passion and that is why life is an endless conquest in pursuit of that same love. The feel of it is what makes a human a human. All rationality and sanity go out the window and one is left in their original state, almost like an animal of instinct.…

    In my opinion, Gilgamesh's grief for Enkidu was intense because Gilgamesh truly thought that Enkidu was his best friend. When people started to think that a person is their true friend, they get to spend a lot of times together and talk about everything. Gilgamesh and Enkidu went to kill Humbaba together even if they knew they could die because of Humbaba's power. The book said that Humbaba was a strong monster that lived in the Cedar forest.

    Many people assume that their perspective of the world, specifically about love, is that it is straightforward and simple, and that everyone gets a fairytale ending. However, that is not always the case, and usually never is. As seen in pieces like Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and “When Love Arrives” by Sarah Kay & Phil Kaye, it shows that love is unpredictable, complex, and involves varying levels of emotion. Brave New World and “When Love Arrives” both display perspectives of love being erratic.…

    In today’s society, most of the relationships presented in books, movies, TV shows, and other media are romantic in nature. However, “This Is Not a Love Song” by Brendan Mathews veers away from that normal occurrence. Although some of the relationships that are presented in the story are romantic, the main focus is on the constant friendship between the narrator and Kat, the subject of her many photographs. Mathews uses a unique and interesting sort of snapshot vignette style of writing that includes very specific and intentionally placed details, similar to the ideas presented in “The Writer’s Goal” by Guy de Maupassant. Maupassant’s ideas focus on using different literary techniques to show the reader exactly what the writer is trying to…

    The Tale of Pearl-harvest demonstrates the cultural aspect of love at first sight. This is proven when Abu al-Hasan is telling his story and says “But when she asked the price of one particular bracelet, her voice was as sweet as a babbling spring and I looked up without a thought - and instantly drowned in the standing water of her eyes. My poor soul clung to the long curling black rushes that fringed each pool, but could not swim against the current of love, and it drew me down into the black vortex at the centre of her brown eyes.” (42). Abu is talking about how as soon as he looked up at her he was instantly in love with Pearl-harvest.…

    “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind” (1.1234-35). Love is an irrational emotion, able to change as quickly and suddenly of the wind. People, in the name of love, are willing to overlook much in order to rationalize the actions and words of the subject of their affection. A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare uses wild pansies, night, and dynamic relationships to portray differing definitions of romantic love as a passionate, sometimes, irrational force able to blind lovers to the reality of the world. The first definition of love given is love is the the conquered surrendering to the conqueror.…

    Living Still Life, painted by Salvador Dali in 1956, is an oil on canvas painting created to express the dynamic combination and complexity of stillness and motion that goes almost unnoticed every day. Viewers are drawn in to observe the masterpiece initially by the bright red, mellow blue, and vibrant red colors used in the scenic view painted before them. In essence, the painting is of a medium length rectangular, wooden table partially extending from a room inside of an apartment or condo, out onto a balcony with cast iron railings. The ocean and general warmth of the colors used adds a curious, yet inviting tone to the piece. There are many objects strategically positioned on top of and above the table which work together to create the busy, chaotic unity and balance that is ever present in the piece.…

    “Love at First Sight” “Is Love at first sight realistic” and “are soulmates real,” are questions that are not fully answered and are still questioned by science. Imagine that your soul mate, or if you don’t believe in them, the person you’re “destined” to be with has crossed paths with you manifold times before finally, formally meeting them. Ironic is it not? Fate is supposed to bring the two individuals together, yet the first time you informally meet, if it ever comes into being, you may not remember at all. This is how Wislawa Szymborska perceives love at first sight.…
