Does ‘Wonder Woman’ have the best romantic chemistry of any superhero movie? – Washington Post

Posted on by

Spoilers ahead.

RICHARD DONNERs Superman spoiled us. When the Man of Steel first soared toward the heavens with Lois Lane on an exhilarating flyover date, the 1978 movie heightened our expectation for most superhero films to follow: Future costumed crimefighters with love interests would surely deliver not only the thrilling action, but also magnetic romantic chemistry.

How sadly seldom thats been the case.

Christopher Reeve imbued Superman/Clark Kent with a special blend of assured physical presence and throwback screwball-comedy charm like some corn-fed Cary Grant who could carry off a cape. And Margot Kidders winning Lois adroitly pivoted, again and again, from needling Clarks vulnerabilities to swooning over Supes.

Who knew that such a dynamically sizzling duo might not be found again in superhero cinema till this year? Yes, there have been some highly memorable couplings over the decades: Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst in Spider-Man; Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone (mimicking real life) in the Spidey reboot; Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell in the Captain America films; and the R-rated heat between Ryan Reynolds and Morena Baccarin in Deadpool.

Yet none of those had quite the crackling banter and engaging range, from coyly comic to heroically tragic, as Gal Gadot and Chris Pines characters in Patty Jenkinss Wonder Woman.

When Yankee spy-pilot Steve Trevor (Pine) crash-lands off the Amazonss isolated isle of Themyscira, and then revives on the shore looking into the doe eyes of his rescuer, Princess Diana (Gadot), the film begins to launch into a different elevation.

For the next two hours, in fact, every great scene in the film includes both Gadot and Pineas the actors find a rare shared spark for a DC Comics film. The matchhead has been struck on the paradise isles beachhead, and every scene between them after that as they follow their intertwined wartime missions is like watching the entrancing dance of a flame.

Jenkins and the DC team, including comics writer-turned-film executive Geoff Johns, should be given much credit for crafting scenes between Gadot and Pine that summon echoes of not only Superman, but also Casablanca, Roman Holiday and the Indiana Jones films.

Steve Trevor should be important to the Diana legacy and you hit the nail on the head when you said Indiana Jones, Jenkins tells The Posts Comic Riffs, of the warm intelligence and air of derring-do she wanted for her films male lead.

After the disappointment of last year's "Batman v Superman" and "Suicide Squad," Warner Bros. and DC Comics finally find their stride with Patty Jenkins's "Wonder Woman." (Erin Patrick O'Connor/The Washington Post)

The dialogue really begins to sparkle, too, when they tease and spar, thrust and parry whether Diana is catching Steve out of uniform, wearing not even a watch; or they set sail by speaking all around their attraction, with Dianas knowledge anchored entirely in the academic; or they debate gender roles upon docking in London. These scenes are expertly filled with the filigreed inflections of growing affection, so that even when Diana rejoices in a simple introduction to ice cream, it registers like a heroine willing to explore her fresh appetites. (The moment is right out of 2011s Justice League: Origin by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, but also harks backs to Audrey Hepburns own princess-out-of-water tale in Roman Holiday.)

And at the core of this dynamic duo, of course, we find two talented actors who were able to mold performances from the clay of the sharp script, then heat their craft in the kiln of mutual art.

They both got along so well and have so much on-screen chemistry, Matthew Jensen, the films director of photography, tells Comic Riffs. Theyre both so funny both are such skilled comic visual performers and they really complemented one another.

I think they both just really responded to the characters and the difference in the world views that each character had, he continues. I think that provided them with a lot of great material to work with.

Then Jensen, with a visual stylists expert eye, nods to the obvious.

Theyre both so photogenic, he says, I would have to work hard to make either of them look bad.

What Is Chemistry? – Definition

Question: What Is Chemistry?

Answer: If you look 'chemistry' up in Webster's Dictionary, you'll see:

"chemistry n., pl. -tries. 1. the science that systematically studies the composition, properties, and activity of organic and inorganic substances and various elementary forms of matter. 2. chemical properties, reactions, phenomena, etc.: the chemistry of carbon. 3. a. sympathetic understanding; rapport.

b. sexual attraction. 4. the constituent elements of something; the chemistry of love. [1560-1600; earlier chymistry]."

My glossary definition is short and sweet: Chemistry is the "scientific study of matter, its properties, and interactions with other matter and with energy".

An important point to remember is that chemistry is a science, which means its procedures are systematic and reproducible and its hypotheses are tested using the scientific method. Chemists, scientists who study chemistry, examine the properties and composition of matter and the interactions between substances. Chemistry is closely related to physics and to biology. Chemistry and physics both are physical sciences. In fact, some texts define chemistry and physics exactly the same way. As is true for other sciences, mathematics is an essential tool for the study of chemistry.

On behalf of the faculty, students and alumni of the George Washington University Department of Chemistry, welcome you to our website, a window into this dynamic and exciting branch of the natural sciences at GW. Part of the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, our department has a history that traces back to the very founding of the University. The Chemistry Department has a proud tradition of innovation and engagement in teaching, research and service to our discipline. An intimate, stimulating intellectual environment of chemistry and interdisciplinary research and scholarship pervades the department, engaging students and faculty in a collaborative setting to address research problems of contemporary importance.

Our faculty includes National Science Foundation Career awardees, editors of professional journals, patent holders, and winners of University Teaching and Service awards. While spanning the traditional areas of analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, our program maintains a focus on three major themes, Biomolecular Chemistry, Materials Chemistry and Energy and the Environment that take us to the cutting-edge of chemical research and its applications.

Our graduate program fosters active learning through a research-based curriculum. Beginning with advanced coursework and training in the discipline as a whole and one or more selected subdisciplines, our award winning graduate students engage in core and emerging research along side expert faculty studying problems of fundamental relevance to the major driving forces in todays society. Opportunities abound for research presentations, publication, and award achievement as well as collaborations with colleagues in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the nearby Federal Research Laboratories.

Our undergraduate program provides a rigorous education in the fundamental areas of chemical theory and experimentation along with a hands-on approach to modern laboratory practices and instrumentation underwritten by a balanced introduction to the basic divisions of chemistry that emphasizes problem-solving skills. Concurrently, we strive to maintain a sense of community with small laboratory sections for our majors and by engaging majors in research projects along side of our faculty and doctoral students. This solid foundation in the chemical sciences and experiential learning prepares our students to be competitive in pursuit of careers in academia, professional programs, industry, and government.

We appreciate your interest in any of the facets of our department and program and invite you to contact or connect with us.

Michael M. King Professor and Chair
