The Blind Side : Rhetorical Analysis Of A Film

Quentin Tarantino has a super power. But his power is not a common and conventional power. He has the power of storytelling, and he is incredible using it. With his super writing skills, he writes scripts considered by many critics brilliant. All over the world, fans of movies admire and respect his trajectory. On the second movie of his career: “Reservoir Dogs”, in a sovereign way, Tarantino gives us a proof of his talent.

Vonnegut is very keen to express his choice of words throughout the novel, Slaughterhouse-Five. The phrase that is mentioned the most is “so it goes”. This phrase is mentioned over a hundred times at full length of the novel. At every time someone dies in the novel or a tragedy happens Vonnegut ends the passage with “so it goes”. Because the main focus of the novel is on the bombing of Dresden, Vonnegut is making a point that the war is awful but inevitable. He uses repetition to promote how common and cruel war and death is, in the big scheme of things. An observation done by Allen says “The plain old death will be there anyways. It leads us to the idea that, given that we all must die anyway, often cruelly or prematurely. The commonness

The movie The Blind Side is a film about real life events that happened to an upcoming football player. The film features a young African-American man named Michael Oher who is taken in by a white family named the Tuohys. The family helps Michael to overcome his difficulties and become a successful football player. This movie includes many situations that incorporate psychological principles. Some of the main principles that stand out are prejudice towards Michael, motivation from Michael, and altruism from the Tuohys.

The Blind Side is a movie based on a person who has gone through these events in life named Michael Oher. This African American teenager is homeless and lost because he was abandoned at a young age which led him to have a very poor education and no one wanting him because he was a different skin tone to everyone else. The author shows a different type of techniques such as close-up camera shots on faces showing emotion, sound and how it shows Michael Oher to be seen shy in the film as an unfortunate African American individual. Themes such as Kindness, overcoming obstacles, and stereotypes are interconnected from the real-life world and the movie that Hancock directs.

Fast and furious movie series have been known to be one of the most interesting yet controversial movies I have seen. There are many perspectives in the movie especially the most recent one that has been a very broad movie that has so many meanings to it. It involves the idea of love, friendship, and the real meaning of social relationships; in which, the structure of the movie is done to tell a specific story; however, the symbolism and the real meaning seems to be a total different idea. The story starts with a conflict between a party against another, and a group of friends tend to stick together and getting through so many hardships in a really dangerous way which is my point of argument.

The relationship between the four men throughout the passage is a more intense bond than regular friendship. They understand each other well, and the crew member’s is bonded in a strong way, which help them making it to the shore alive. The second paragraph also explains how good their friendships are, and the respect they provided to each other. This was explained in the text as “friends in a more curiously iron-bound degree than may be common”.

Miracle is one of the most famous sports movie in the United States. The movie won an ESPY award for best sports movie in 2004. Since I like to watch and play sports, I decided to watch this movie for critical reflection. Also, I want to see some leadership traits through this movie. The movie is based on the real-life story of the United States Olympic hockey team in 1980.

Before watching the video on Rhetorical Analysis, I had a pretty good idea of what RA was simply because I know that when someone is being rhetorical in terms of asking a question, it means the persons intended purpose is not to get an answer but instead to place emphasis or to make a point about something. I had never really thought about how to apply Rhetoric in any other instance so after watching the video it was interesting to learn that RA is essentially what I expected it to be only it was applied differently. I use rhetorical analysis in many areas of my life For example, I have an 11-year-old daughter that is constantly trying to persuade me to buy her something, do something etc. so whenever she states her argument I analyze and infer

The Blind Side Analysis The movie, The Blind Side, directed by John Lee Hancock, is known as a heartwarming film about a privileged white family taking in a black boy from off the streets, named Michael Oher. While The Blind Side is seen as an inspirational movie about Michael Oher rising against social and economic challenges to become a football player, the director centers the story around Leigh Anne, the white woman who took him in. Rather than displaying Michael Oher’s perspective of the events that occurred leading up to his football scholarship, the director purposely chose to use a white female’s perspective. This style of using Leigh Anne’s perspective makes it so the movie demonstrates more of the struggles of the white person

An author by the name of Joseph Addison, who primarily critiques societal flaws in a subtle way, wrote an article in The Spectacle, popular British newspaper, essentially ridiculing the entire upper class. In this short passage, Addison writes about a diarist who keeps track of his every move throughout the day, no matter how interesting or uninteresting it may be. Addison throughout the entirety of the passage uses literary devices in tone, repetition, and irony to convey his satire point of his strong disapproval of the accepted aristocratic way of life.

“The Blind Side” is a movie about a young black boy named Michael who grew up in a rough area with not much to look forward to. He always had to worry about being in danger, his family doing drugs, and even being homeless, until one day he was at a high school volleyball game picking up left over snacks from the bleachers when an upper class white family noticed him. After the game, they saw him walking on the sidewalk along the road outside the school and asked him where he was staying. He was planning on going to the gym where it was warm so they offered to take him home for a warm and dry place to sleep. He took the offer and slept on the couch, the family ended up getting him through high school and officially adopted him. He had big offers

Camera focuses on Victor’s trail of thoughts using an extreme close up of his mouth ( the words that come out as he reads his plan to himself). Victor says: “I will make him feel like an alive dead body.” There is a slight pause and the camera is at a close up shot. “Then finish him off.” The scene finishes with a slight grin. First few seconds take up about five seconds while right after the dialogue there is a quick cut to the next scene. Dramatic irony is formed since the audience knows the fate of Ivan, yet not Ivan himself. The background music is heightened as victor finishes his monologue to himself to build tension in the audience.

Leigh Anne Tuohy once said, "Families don't have to match. You don't have to look like someone else to love them. There are wonderful kids all over this country who need a forever family. And we believe there are no unwanted kids, just unfound families” (Weber). The Blind Side film follows the career and life of, professional football player, Michael Oher. However, The Blind Side story isn’t your average sports film and does not follow Michael’s intense training routine to be part of the big league. Instead, this film focuses on his struggles as a child and teenager. As a youngster, Oher was neglected, left on the streets, and never felt the love of a family. In an amazing twist of fate, Oher’s life changed for the better when he was taken in by a loving, but strict, Christian by the name of Leigh Anne Tuohy. The Tuohys took Michael under their wing and raised him as their own. As they got to know the new addition to the family, the Tuohys soon discovered “Big Mike” had a talent. The hidden talent that would change his life forever. In the film, The Blind Side, director John Hancock kept some events from Michael Oher's story the same, but changed some of the events in order to add heartfelt moments and character depth.

This film can be related to the social conflict perspective. This perspective is when different groups have different goals. Also, some groups have monopolies over the others. This means that they have power and resources. The other groups are left to fight for the resources and they are dependent on those that have power. This perspective says that conflicts arise because society is unequal and unjust. This film fits into this theory because there are many groups such as the blacks, Hispanics, and Persians that are constantly struggling and belittling each other, so their group can be the one in power. However, this is not possible because the white race is the dominant one and the one who has the power, and they understand

The main idea of the film was to create story that showed the world the horrors people of color faces in the south during this period. This is masterfully done, using hints of humor as well as serious elements. This relates to the Civil Rights era, where attention was called to the growing issue of Jim Crow laws and segregation. This was when Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X began to raise their voices. While these two men had completely different approaches, they both strived for better treatment of African
