Analysis of Disturbia Character, Kale

Shia Lebuff’s character, Kale, had a passionate personality. He showed how his passion gets him in good and situations; however it still makes the movie. The situations that were good outnumbered his bad ones, though. For instance, there were several parts of the movie that conveyed how his passion turned out to be an admirable quality. One of these instances were when he told the girl, that played his love interest, how he watched her and noted all the things in detail of what she did and carefully analyzed it. Since he was passionate for her, he was able to take the time to sit down and try to understand why she would do the things she did so that he could, in fact, understand her and be more able to obtain her interest more than other guys that were, most likely, of high competition. In the end, though creepy and bizarre, the female found it intriguing that someone understood her took notice to who she really was. She became Kale’s leading later after that point and eliminated all other guys, but even though Kale was able to make passion work for the best, he also got in some sticky situations from it. A solitary example of this is when his father died. Since he was so passionate for his father, the death of him was a lethal blow for him and he began to shut down in his surroundings and in school. When his teacher mentioned his father negatively, out of pure reflex, he punched him and the punishment for his instinct was to be on house arrest. With house arrest came more trouble than one was to expect, including the audience and the character himself. Without getting into detail, the trouble began to make the story, therefore if it wasn’t for the character’s passion, the story would have not been complete or, maybe, even made.
