Advocates for a return to small-scale, organic animal agriculture often paint a picture of the "good old days" before factory farming, and set up a dichotomy between big versus small ag, with of course big being bad and small all but romanticized as the embodiment of human harmony with nature.
On top of that, there is the narrative of Dion's dad Mark (Michael B. Jordan, who also serves as executive producer), which is relayed through flashbacks—memories that, at first, are romanticized but slowly expand to fully detail how Jordan's character died trying to save a woman's life in New Orleans.
Bloom also dismantles the romanticized notion that a celeb chooses a dress for a fancy event because she's inspired by the designer's vision, or label's reinvention, or, perhaps, had a love-at-first-sight moment on the sales floor of an ultra-high-end department store that's totally out of our price range.
You could have the classic, I don't know, like Les Mis, or Paul Revere's ride, or Arab Spring-esque in the romanticized vision of it: "Gosh, this is a way for people to do a tree," and pass along a message that "you can't stop the signal," to use a Joss Whedon reference.
The idea that top fighters are pampered and that money is ruining the game has been a fixture in fighting from the beginning, and sportswriters are always recalling a romanticized earlier time, but this might be the only recorded instance of an athletic commission turning down a fight for being too profitable.
All the busy colors and grit of the much-romanticized downtown Manhattan art scene of the 1980s are coming to theaters in a newly restored version of Downtown 81, a film starring a young Jean-Michel Basquiat moving a painting through the streets while looking for a place to sleep that night.
There's a romanticized view of the bohemian lifestyle — but it's one thing for a person to go for a while subsisting on ramen and food squirreled away from work events if she knows she has family, a spouse, or people she can fall back on or a regular paycheck ahead of her.
Before this week, that contest, in which Ingram sank 39 of his 50 shots in a half-empty arena in Toronto, represented one of the high points of a long and consistent career for one of the mainstays of a league that rarely gets romanticized in the way that baseball's minor leagues often are.
In the art world, unrealistic expectations surrounding employee time and labor, plus a romanticized view of working in the arts for love rather than money, often equals an employment landscape in which abuse of power comes as no surprise—when you're pregnant, when you're interning for free, when you're negotiating for healthcare, you name it.
"One of the things that keeps people away from protests is that they often get hijacked and romanticized by white liberals" who may not understand the stakes as clearly as the groups most affected, argues Zain Shamoon just before getting onto a bus that eventually does drop him and his wife off at the scene of the demonstration.
While "Gone With the Wind" and "The Birth of a Nation" evoke a romanticized version of racial privilege and black subordination, Lee's film reminds us that we must continue to wrestle with the ugly reality this lie is built on if we are to defeat the myths of racial superiority that offer ballast to white supremacists of all stripes.
Though he, like most Americans, viewed Indians through a romanticized lens, at a distance, his interest in the shared death space of those marked as expendable, as well as his repeated invocation of tribes as a form of social organization, reveals the possibility for collaboration beyond life, here together in the wound we've made into our world.
While many designers in Milan are busy chasing the romanticized Neo-Edwardian hothouse vision that has made Alessandro Michele's Gucci such a staggering success, Ms. Prada chose instead to revisit her own chastely industrial back pages with a show that recast her 1980s pocone nylon bags as clothes: vests, jackets, long coats, trousers, shorts, all in voluminous upholstery proportions.
"We wanted to juxtapose two very different views on our country," Ms. Dubinets said, "a romanticized European perspective on the American culture combining different worlds into a new one that suited Euro-American colonizers, and an internal perspective coming from an African-American composer terrified by the shocking massacre in Charleston more than 120 years later."
Both artists were landscape painters who spent time around the turn of the 20th century studying and painting in Europe, but while Carr depicted a romanticized version of Vancouver Island through the lens of a colonial gaze, Dr. Atl attempted to rebuff European aesthetic standards (and even his own European name) to create work more deeply rooted in Mexican aesthetics.
Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads For an artist to address the whale, a subject that's been romanticized for two full centuries and exposed to every level of public discourse from international litigation to grade school posters, would require a fresh perspective, which is what I believe Juliette Dumas has managed to summon in her current exhibition at Silas Von Morisse.
James Ivory's Quartet (1981), which plays through May 9th at the Quad Cinema in its new 4k restoration (and opens later this month in L.A.), is a visually dazzling recreation of 1920s Paris that subverts romanticized notions of the era, exposing the City of Light's seedy underbelly and the forms of bondage women endure in a hedonistic but still rigidly patriarchal society.
The melodies, simultaneously plain and twisted, carry an internal logic all their own, and Batur's playing is pleasurable for textural reasons (sharp, slightly nasal, layered the way perfume is layered) as well as tempo reasons (cautious, deliberate, mockingly self-aware); the resulting mood mixes sadness and glee in unpredictable proportions, suffused with a romantic but not therefore romanticized wonder at the beauty in simplicity.
Mishra brings this Walpurgisnacht of romanticized violence to a nihilistic climax with the happy meeting in a Supermax prison of Timothy McVeigh, perpetrator of the Oklahoma City bombing, and Ramzi Yousef, perpetrator of the World Trade Center bombing: the fanatic, child-murdering right-wing atheist finds "lots in common" with the equally murderous Islamic militant—one of those healing conversations we're always being urged to pursue.
Somehow, the commercial that made a comparably deep and heavily romanticized impression on me was a 1992 commercial for Cool Whip in which an anthropomorphized blob of the whipped topping soars around some kid's kitchen and makes him a delicious-looking snack of two enormous chocolate chip cookies sandwiching a massive dollop of Cool Whip, garnished with what appear to be M&Ms and sprinkles.
And though A Portable Model of… and its follow-up How Memory Works would cement Joan of Arc's place as both an important Chicago band and also an important emo band among many aging music consumers with an affection for a long-romanticized Midwestern music culture, looking back to 1997 Chicago might also adjure the sounds of mathy acts in the vein of Tortoise or 90 Day Men.
In Wallace Stegner's grand novel of the American West "The Angle of Repose," a historian's romanticized vision of 19th-century America clouds when, in the course of researching the life of his grandmother — a writer and artist who "came West not to join a new society but to endure it" — he uncovers a breach and a tragedy in her marriage, the effects of which reverberate in the book's present.
Despite its vulnerability to catastrophic storms, New Orleans is a warm-weather city with a romanticized history of inclusivity and entire houses that go for half of what some pay for an apartment in cities like New York, DC, and LA. As a nexus of black American, Haitian, and Louisiana French culture, it's got a rich tradition as a musical melting pot, one younger generations are eager to carry on.
There were the artist Sterling Ruby, whose soft sculptures, dripping threads, were echoed in the clothes and handbags at Calvin Klein; Nicki Minaj, wearing fringed boots and not much else in a selfie that went viral this summer; a renegade assortment of bikers and neo-hippies, resurrected in spirit at Alexander Wang and Anna Sui; and, not least, the romanticized saloon gals and cowpunchers of the great American West, who have moseyed their way into the collective fashion consciousness.
The exhibition also included Nelson Sullivan's video footage of the heavily romanticized 1980s downtown New York club scene; flyers produced by Keith Haring for ACT-UP's 1989 fundraiser at the Sound Factory and the Chicago Voguers' Ball; Caldwell Linker's intricate beaded portraits of Pittsburgh's queer nightlife stars; Marc Lida's watercolor painting of well-known East Village nightclub The Saint; copies of drag queen Linda Simpson's zine My Comrade; a painting of Times Square's sleazier days by DJ and artist Scott Ewalt; and photographs by the HIV-positive ballroom star Kia Labeija.
"Consider what kind of thinking motivates a good student to force herself to listen to a symphony when she feels herself dozing off," Callard writes: She reminds herself that her grade and the teacher's opinion of her depend on the essay she will write about this piece; or she promises herself a chocolate treat when she gets to the end; or she's in a glass-walled listening room of the library, conscious of other students' eyes on her; or perhaps she conjures up a romanticized image of her future, musical self, such as that of entering the warm light of a concert hall on a snowy evening.
