  In this wonderful romantic drama, a man finds himself in the most unlikely place. When Drew Baylor, played by Orlando Bloom, makes a huge mistake at work that costs his company millions and millions of dollars, he begins to feel that his life is over. When he attempts to commit suicide however, his sister calls him to tell him that his father has passed away. Hearing this news really makes him re-think his decision and appreciate life. This character portrays both a standard and non-standard male gender role through out the movie. His character is rather strong through out the whole ordeal of his father's death; he does not even cry once while he is town. On the other hand, he portrays a non-standard role by being very vulnerable to the flight attendant, Claire, played by Kirsten Dunst, that he meets. In this movie the roles are almost reversed because the male lead role has so much emotion to his character, while the female lead role is strong and independent. She begins to take care of Drew and starts to make him feel better about himself and his situation. In this case the male character was the one who needed saving and the female character saved him. Showing that the standard gender roles are being used less and less in more modern films. Hopefully all films in the future will begin to share the gender equality that this movie has represented.
