The Tall Man is the type of documentary film that allows viewers to formulate their own opinion on the situation. With no narrator present to force personal viewpoints down viewer’s throats or acted dramatization to possibly exaggerate what really occurred, the film relies on archival

The idea of a documentary being an artistic or even personalised expression of a director is long gone, or so it seems in recent times. In Michael Moore’s latest documentary, Bowling for Columbine, he attempts to get across to viewers his, and essentially only his point of view, on the topic of gun laws. Although what Moore is trying to say is not necessarily wrong, he is at the same time not taking into account the other side of the argument either; all he is trying to do, essentially is hypnotise viewers into thinking

In the movie Remember the Titans Coach Boone gives a speech on the battle ground of Gettysburg. Coach Boone was hired and made head coach over the nominated Hall of Fame Coach Yoast. Racial tensions were building between team members because their school, T.C. Williams became integrated. His team of football players had a problem with open prejudice and hostility between the black and white players. After a day of bad practice, Coach Boone took his team out for a run in the middle of the night through the forest to deal with the issue. When the players were finally given a chance to breathe they realized that they were at the Civil War battle ground of Gettysburg. He utilizes his strong demeanor and gives a speech

George Stevens' 1953 film Shane is notable for a number of reasons, from its grand cinematography to its ambiguous ending, but perhaps the most striking thing about the film is its treatment of violence. In particular, the film uses the story of the mysterious gunfighter Shane to chart the gradual irrelevance of this kind of violence in the aftermath of the Civil War, and in some ways one can imagine that the film itself is attempting to recover from the violence of World War II. By examining some key moments from the film, one is able to see how Shane uses its sometimes graphic violence in an effort to simultaneously show the ostensible utility and ultimate futility of violence. In the end, Shane undermines classic western film tropes in order to turn the image of the heroic gunfighter into a frightening warning about the lingering effects of senseless violence.

Since Super Size Me is a documentary primary focused on the ideas of its director, Morgan Spurlock, we must be able to perceive him as a credible and trustworthy source. Using himself as

You’re coming home from one of the worst dates of your life. It was just you and your date at a high end restaurant. Your date asked you “Have you ever read Shakespeare?”. You pondered and said “No, I have not.”. Your date got up and left you sitting there at the booth, alone, by yourself. Such as Michael Mack, a professor at the CUA, has stated, “Read Shakespeare and spare yourself a world of bad dates.” What DOES Mack mean by saying this, though? In his speech, “Why Read Shakespeare?” he delves into why exactly a regular person like you or I should read Shakespeare at all. Through his use of counterclaims and rhetorical devices, Mack constructs an effective argument stating that though Shakespeare is hard work, it’s worth the effort.

In “The Apology”, Plato’s written account of Socrates’ trial, Socrates rhetorical goal is not only to exonerate himself from the crimes he’s been accused of, but, more importantly, to show how he is devoted to the pursuit of justice. Socrates shows this by demonstrating his determination for doing what is righteous, rather than focusing on being abdicated from his crimes. Throughout his speech, Socrates uses an emotional appeal to establish himself as being on the side of truth, justice, and wisdom, and shows that by trusting in his words, the jurymen would also be in support of these principles. Furthermore, Socrates is able to establish his support of the truth and justice by addressing specific rumors and accusations set against him using an appeal to logic. These logical appeals are used to show how his defense is the truth and that the allegations against him are opinion, rumor, and unjust.

Things are not always what they seem. The Republican Party has now captured the House of Representatives and the Senate. Many were not surprised, as history has shown that when a president has low approval ratings, the opposing political party usually gains seats in Congress. The Republicans’ main argument was the failure of the Affordable Care Act. The platform was that they would work on their constituents’ behalf to repeal the health care law. However, it has been shown that the health care law is working, providing health insurance for many who previously did not have any health insurance. How did the Republicans convince their constituents to believe the contrary? Plato would argue that the Republicans are truly the masters of rhetoric.

Staples uses tone and diction to appeal to the audience through pathos. At first, he seems to paint himself as the bad guy, opening with the statement that his “first victim was a women” (542). He uses phrases such as “cast back a worried glance” and “seemed menacingly close”

causing a breach of trust due to the documentary project losing its integrity, as the audiences realizes that the people being fi)med are not who they claim to be or did not do anything that they been seen on screen doin(.' Flaherty has made his greatest impact through manipulating the story that he wanted to tell, changing customs in order to make sure that his vision of the story is told, he trades carefully on the thin fine line in distinguishing between fiction and documentary that Michael Moore is frequently criticized for today.

In Antony’s speech, he demonstrates his charisma and fine orator skills through the most powerful rhetorical device, pathos. This device is very impactful and is able to compel the audience by emotions serving as the most effective out of logos, and ethos. Therefore, the use of pathos greatly aids his claim. By impacting the plebeians through a sense of grief and pity. For instance, Antony recalls the great deeds by Caesar and exclaims the legacy of his life,

"These kids can't show that their weight problems and health woes were caused solely by their McDiets"

In this essay, I will explain why a documentary is always more realistic than a fiction film. I will show my thesis by exploring elements that influence how realistic a film is: film editing and format, genre, and transparency. I will use the documentary of Armadillo (2010), by Janus Pedersen, and the fiction film of The Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach (1968), by Danièle Huille as examples.
