Jennifer Lynn Connelly (born December 12, 1970) is an American actress. She began her career as a child model before making her acting debut in the 1984 crime film Once Upon a Time in America. After a few more years of modeling, she began to concentrate on acting, starring in a variety of films including the horror film Phenomena (1985), the musical fantasy film Labyrinth (1986), the romantic comedy Career Opportunities (1991), and the period superhero film The Rocketeer (1991). She received praise for her performance in the science fiction film Dark City (1998) and playing a drug addict in Darren Aronofsky's drama film Requiem for a Dream (2000).

Connelly gained public recognition with Jim Henson's 1986 fantasy Labyrinth with David Bowie, in which she played Sarah Williams, a teenager on a quest to rescue her brother Toby from the world of goblins. Although a disappointment at the box office,[29] the film later became a cult classic.[30] The New York Times, while noting the importance of her part, panned her portrayal: "Jennifer Connelly as Sarah is unfortunately disappointing. ... She looks right, but she lacks conviction and seems to be reading rehearsed lines that are recited without belief in her goal or real need to accomplish it."[31] In 1988, she began work as a ballet student in the Italian film Etoile which was released in 1989,[32] and portrayed college student Gabby in Michael Hoffman's Some Girls.[33]

Also in 2000, Connelly appeared in Waking the Dead, based on the 1986 novel of the same name, playing Sarah Williams, an activist killed by a car bomb in Minneapolis while she was driving Chilean refugees.[62] Initially, director Keith Gordon was reluctant to cast Connelly in this role as he did not consider her a serious actress. Her agent Risa Shapiro persuaded him to watch Connelly's performance in Far Harbor. Gordon later said: "There was a subtlety and depth even to her gaze that captured more of the relationship than I ever could have hoped for."[23] About her role, Connelly said, "Waking the Dead was the first film I worked on where whatever I did felt like my own thing. I was really trying to make something of the part and threw myself into it, so that meant a lot to me".[63] The New York Times described her performance, "As Sarah, Ms. Connelly captures a burning ethereality and willfulness that are very much of the period. And she and Mr. Crudup connect powerfully in love scenes that convey the fierce tenderness of a relationship whose passion carries a tinge of religious fervor."[64]

The movie Labyrinth was released in 1986, starring Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie. The movie was created in collaboration of the Jim Henson company and Lucasfilm. Disney now own Labyrinth and it would be a perfect fit on their streaming service, Disney+.

THE DREAM VISION IS A GENRE WITH A LONG LITERARY TRADITION. Thisgenre includes works such as Dante's Divine Comedy, Guilliame deLorris's Romance of the Rose, "Pearl," and Chaucer's Bookof the Duchess, among others. Medieval poets frequently used dream visions toexplore dimensions of the psyche, often serving "as depictions of theinner life of characters," which provides motivation and characterbackground as well as reasons for sudden character transformations andout-of-character decisions (Russell 26-7). Jim Henson's 1986 fantasycoming-of-age movie, Labyrinth, can be read as a dream vision.Labyrinth's protagonist, Sarah, matures by several years in a matter ofhours after traveling through a fantastic labyrinthine world populated withfuzzy creatures and a sinister yet sensual Goblin King, Jareth. WhileLabyrinth does not exactly conform to the formula of dream visions as used bymedieval poets, it contains many of the same elements, such as the nature ofthe dreamer, the dream guide, and allegorical figures.

Labyrinth opens with Sarah, clad in a medieval-era gown andflowery coronet, speaking entreatingly to the camera, but she falters and hasto check her lines in a small book she draws from her sleeve. A bell beginsto toll, and she hikes up her dress, revealing blue jeans underneath it, andruns for home through a sudden pouring rain. She confronts her stepmother,has an argument with her father, and is left alone to tend her baby brother.While her brother, Toby, cries, she tries to calm him--unsuccessfully--with astory from the book she'd been reading, also titled Labyrinth. After afew minutes, she gets fed up and wishes that the goblins would come take herbrother away "right now!" She is shocked when her brother actuallydisappears and Jareth, the Goblin King, appears in the bay window. She pleadswith him to return Toby, and though he tries to talk her out of wanting himback, she is adamant. Finally, Jareth agrees to return Toby--if Sarah cansolve his labyrinth. He and Sarah are transported to a hill overlooking thelabyrinth, where Sarah's quest begins. She finds her way through thelabyrinth (with equal parts help and meddling from the creatures inside andJareth himself), rescues Toby, and is magically transported back to her houseas the clock strikes midnight.

Sarah's creative personality is illustrated in the earliestscenes. Immediately after the opening credits, we see her in a medievalcostume, practicing lines from a play called Labyrinth. Her room containsbooks such as Where the Wild Things Are, The Wizard of Oz, Grimms' FairyTales, and Through the Looking Glass. Her mother was an actress, as evidencedby the newspaper clippings and playbills in Sarah's scrapbook and on hermirror. Sarah's dramatic tendencies may be an attempt to emulate hermother, who she undoubtedly finds more interesting than her stepmother, ormay be due to a genetic tendency toward imaginative behavior. The single,sweeping look we get of Sarah's room provides further clues. Nearlyeverything in Sarah's room is reflected in the Labyrinth in some way,indicating that her journey through the Labyrinth is a journey through herown subconscious. Despite the internal nature of the journey, it appears veryexternal; Sarah leaves her house through a window (a move Henson borrowedfrom Maurice Sendak's Ouside Over There [White 119]) and enters afantastic world. Henson's decision to blur the lines between sleepingand waking, fantasy and reality, may be due to a need to heighten the visualimpact of the movie; the sudden disappearance of the house from around Sarahas she looks through the window at the Labyrinth is much more visuallyinteresting than Sarah falling asleep and finding herself in or near theLabyrinth. It may also be due to a need to heighten the immediacy of thestory. A journey that appears real is much more likely to affect Sarah thansomething she--and the audience--recognizes as a dream. It is also possiblethat Henson was trying to conform to several definitions of Fantasy whichclaim that dreams are a logical explanation for fantastic events, thusremoving such stories from the realm of true Fantasy (Tynn, Zahorski andBoyer 4; Manlove 16-18; Wolfe 2226). Whatever Henson's reasons,Sarah's psychological state and the parallels between Sarah's roomand the labyrinth both indicate that Labyrinth is still a psychologicaljourney rather than a "real" one, and as such can be analyzed as adream vision. 2351a5e196
