Film Analysis Of The Film Thor : Ragnorak

The legend of Thor is a bit different than what is portrayed in Marvel’s movie Thor. Thor was a very important god is from Norse mythology and was a thunder god while his wife was a fertility goddess.

In the Marvel movies, Odin is depicted as a completely different god and Thor is your average all brawns, quick tempered, hero myth. Norse mythology and Marvel’s rendition of Thor and the Norse gods are completely different and while prior to the course, I never would have known otherwise. I have always thought that I understood mythology prior to this course but it would seem that over the last 6 weeks, my understanding of mythology came from comic books and Marvel movies.

Have you ever wondered how advertisers come up with trailers or commercials? Or if there is a formula or specific ingredients for which advertisers make their advertisements? I am here to tell you that there is a formula and there are key ingredients to make an effective trailer or commercial. In the world of commerce professional advertisers use rhetorical devices as their ingredients to cook the best trailer that will attract customers to buy many things.

Advertisers are experts in using these devices in combination; and the only way to know how to combine them is by studying your audience. Video game advertisers have specific ways to persuade their audience to buy a game. Today I will be studying this pattern in a video game trailer of “The Last of us” by Hydrawlik. I will analyze the combination of rhetorical devices that are used in the trailer and evaluate their effectiveness. This video game trailer uses these rhetorical devices effectively to attract the audience’s attention in order to lure customers to buy the product. Rhetorical devices are used for specific reasons for example Pathos is used to incite emotional responses, logos to prove that the game has exactly what the audience wants, ethos to develop a sense of credibility in the advertiser

According to Mythical Realm in the article, “Thor - Norse God of Thunder,” Thor is described as being a bit “ferocious” on the eyes, “Thor was usually portrayed as a large, powerful man with a red beard, flowing hair, hearty enjoyment of food and drink and eyes of lightening,” (Mythical Realm). This would be an example of that subjective appearance of other cultural differences. It’s obvious that his physic and appearance is very likable in this

Movie trailers have been one of the most compelling way of attracting the audience to fall in love with what they are advertising. When they watch the movie trailers, it make the viewer feel suspenseful or excited depending of the genre of the movie a individual would enjoy to watch. In most genres for movies such as action, sci-fi, and so forth, the trailers that are being advertised to show the most important plots in the movie which at times can be violent. However, in most cases, a majority of people who go to see the movie after watching the movie trailers end up having mixed feelings about what they saw because they expected more from it due to the trailers. Some people, on the other hand, imitate what they see in the movies and try doing it in real life.

The film Rocks with Wings opens with an image of Shiprock on the Navajo Nation Reservation. This geographical formation holds a huge importance in the culture of the Navajo, as it is told that the first Navajo people were carried on a large bird that landed on that site, with the people jumping off and the bird’s wings forming the rock (Rocks with Wings). The site has two different names, with Shiprock being the name that Anglos gave it, while the Navajo called it Tsé Bitʼaʼí, literally translated to Rock with Wings (Rocks with Wings). This difference between the naming of a sacred site for the Navajo people is a signal of a different struggle that they face, the one between preserving their native Navajo culture and accepting more of the white American culture. This battle plays itself out when it comes to basketball being played on the Reservation.

Avatar is a blockbuster film from 2009 and one of my most favorite Sci-fi films of all time. The film was directed by James Cameron, who is known for directing films like Titanic (1997), Aliens (1986), and the Terminator (1984), all of which helped shape the film industry into what it is today. Although at the time, there was a recession and people were trying to save money, this movie became the highest grossing film in at the time. The movie provided stunning 3D technology unlike any other movie and this was one of the reasons that made people want to go watch the film. From visual effects to the camera angles, James Cameron directed this movie to make the audience feel like they are in the movie. Although the film looked amazing, there were messages and themes inside the film that made it such a success. The film provoked discussions about various messages and themes embedded inside the film, such as terrorism, Imperialism, religious connections, and connections to current world. Such messages can be clearly seen throughout the plot of the movie.

The Hobbit directed by Peter Jackson is a movie that lets you see how the underdog goes from being small and not noticed to becoming the hero that will bring back hope and save the day. Everyone likes a good underdog story and I for one think that The Hobbit is a perfect example of it. Throughout this movie, it slowly makes the main character Bilbo Baggins more of the light in dark and makes him become more hero like with each passing event. Throughout this movie, the tone helps to bring out the inner heroism and light in Bilbo. In the start of the movie, Bilbo gets 13 uninvited guests that show up and ask him to join them on their mission to take back their home, the Lonely Mountain. This is a very powerful scene with a very serious underlying tone to it. The scene starts off with playful banter and fun throughout the 12 dwarfs but when Thorin Oakenshield arrives the mood gets very serious by how the music changes and the interaction between characters. The music was a big hint in the serious tone since it went from more upbeat and energetic to a softer volume and slowed down a bit. The characters interactions are still friendly with each other but when confronting Bilbo they get more focused. The body language is also stiffer and less carefree when the call for help is talked about. Another scene is where Bilbo's ability to bring out some hope is when the Company has to get back there ponies from 3 mountain trolls. During this scene Bilbo has to bite back is fear of the

Most of the science fiction works contain a crucial message that the writer wishes to convey to the viewers. There are two categories of film message, one is positive and the other is negative.
