The movie contained several references to Ernest Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises," most obviously when David Oyelowo grabs a copy of the book as he quickly packs to leave the St. Regis hotel room. Also, Theron's character discards a framed photo of Joel Edgerton's character participating at the running of the bulls in San Fermin (made famous by the novel). Furthermore, the movie's plot generally relates to the novel's, in that it follows an American man's journey in a Spanish-speaking country. Finally, though more of a reference to Hemingway generally, Oyelowo's character opens a "Harry's Bar," a reference to the real-life Manhattan and Venice bar that Hemingway often frequented and wrote about.
