Pathos In The Film 'RIP ! A Sums Manifesto'
In the film RIP! A Remix Manifesto by Brett Gaylor is about how copy right laws are affecting people. Gaylor think music should be free and should let everyone have the right to be creative with it. In the film Gaylor employs pathos in order to get to the audience and demonstrate how companies only protect their interest and prevent Americans to be creative with other people’s work. I think pathos is an effective for getting the audience attention since he provides stories such as when Brazil illegally made HIV medicine, when they sued Jaime, and the fun everyone was having while partying. On the movie Rip a Remix Manifesto uses pathos a way to connect with the audience. Brett Gaylor the maker of the movie talks about how Brazil is illegally making HIV medicine. Gaylor wants to make a point on how copyright laws should change. The film talks about how the medicine is being made in Brazil to give it to those in need at no cost. Brazil is doing something illegal by producing that medicine that United States owns the rights. Gaylor uses That as an examples to demonstrate the audience that using others creations are not bad and should not be illegal. Since Brazil a poor country is making something right while United States a rich country makes billions of dollars on that medicine. That brings some emotions to the audience and makes them feel bad on how …show more content…
Gaylor makes the audience feel sad for the people in brazil but also bad and angry on how people are being sued and happy and excitement by watching how people are having fun to his creativity. Other big companies have used other people creations and made it their own. Yet they try to prevent other people the use of theirs by setting copyright laws and there should be a stopped to that. There should be a stop and no longer accept huge corporations damaging kids records and naming them criminals just to become

    As the author Dr. Robert C. Thomas writes, Fear Eats the Soul “is a film of stairs and stares. Stares, because the entire film is made up of a series of looks: gazes that objectify, and trap, both the-one-being-looked-at and the one looking. These gazes are of such duration that they disturb and implicate the audience watching the film. Stairs, because we often see characters filmed behind staircases—or behind screens, railings, and staircases, simultaneously—often while being looked at, amplifying the objectification and policing of the characters.”. In our first encounter on the stairs Emmi has returned to her apartment with Ali. As they walk up the stairs Emmi’s neighbour tells her she has the 3 Marks 50 she owes her through a grilled shutter…

    In his film The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology, Slavoj Zizek, a Slovenian philosopher, cultural critic and Marxist intellectual, discusses his ideas on fantasy, reality, sexuality, subjectivity, desire, materiality and cinematic form. One of the film’s he analyzes is They Live, a John Carpenter film released in 1988 about a man named John Nada, a wanderer without meaning in his life, who discovers a pair of sunglasses capable of showing the world the way it truly is. Working like x-ray vision, the glasses allow Nada to see past the propaganda and initial meaning behind the advertisements and images that litter his world. He concludes that the government and media are comprised of subliminal messages meant to keep the population subdued. In the film, most of the social elite are skull faced aliens bent on world domination. What is this film saying?…

    As Edwin Starr’s famous anti-war song goes, “War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothin’!” and if Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five had a theme song, this would be the perfect song. Slaughterhouse Five is one of the greatest anti-war books of all time- it even says so on the back cover. In order to convey his anti-war attitude to the readers, Vonnegut uses many different rhetorical devices in Slaughterhouse Five, including analogy, irony, and satire.…

    Big Brothers Big Sisters heavily relies of pathos, pulling at the emotions of people, to help to support their organization.

    Pathos is another rhetorical appeal coined by Aristotle, but this appeal focuses on using emotions to persuade. Each time a different trainer or expert is sharing their experiences or opinions, it is accompanied by video footage of the whales. Video footage is shown of orcas being caught in the wild to be brought to the sea parks. You are watching these animals struggle for their freedom, but they are essentially helpless. There are also videos shown of mother whales producing high range vocals that were never heard before when crying for their babies that were separated from them. To top it all off, there are graphic videos of trainers being attacked by the whales, sometimes resulting in fatal injuries. All of these eye-opening examples appeal to people’s emotions because they are actually being shown what happens as a result of these sea animals being held in captivity. Seeing these events occur as the trainers speak about them makes people pity the animals and reinforces that the cruelty is real and that whales are suffering in captivity. Not only is it the accompanying pictures and videos that appeal to people’s emotions in an attempt to persuade, but also what the credible speakers are saying. A former director of Sealand spoke of how the orcas were punished when they didn’t train well and that they would deprive them of meals because of their behavior. His account clearly exhibits that the…

    An important aspect of Distinctive Visuals is uncovering ideas and meaning through imagination shown in lyrics, words or signs as this is explored in both texts. During the short film the homeless man is alone, shot in two big famous cities, Sydney and New York, the composer questions what is that people love about these cities. This is communicated through extreme close up shots of signs around the cities formed together to send their message. In, “But what is that we love. Do we love the people or the place. Do we measure empathy by donations” questions the realities of society that these two big cities that people love so much, is it the place that makes it just a beautiful place or is it the people because there are unfortunate and under privileged people being disregarded. “Do we measure empathy by donations” also questions society, does contributing to donations truly show that they care. The phrases used put together from signs and posters around the cities in order to send their message makes Genderen’s video unique as it shows how words can tell a story. These simple methods represent how easy it can be to make a change and the great impact it can have on underprivileged people.…

    Ethos is described as an appeal to ethics, its goal is to persuade the reader that an opinion is correct by showing the credibility of a character, Its often tied to citing figures of authority. For example, if were debating which car is faster car x or car y, a good argument for car x would be that it was stated by a skilled Nascar driver to be one of the fastest cars he’s ever driven. Now let’s analyze a passage from The Abolition of Man.“Perhaps I am asking impossibilities. Perhaps, in the nature of things, analytical understanding must always be a basilisk which kills what it sees and only sees by killing. But if the scientists themselves cannot arrest this process before it reaches the common Reason and kills that too, then someone else…

    Pathos: The emotions that are really being played on the most are anger. People have so much anger when they can not understand the world or what is going on in it. The audience becomes furious to all the killing and death in the world and they need someone there to sympathize with them. Anti-Flag gets the listener angry by exposing the faults of the world. The listener appreciates this because Anti-Flag will not sell into the wrongs of the world. It uses the emotion of finding comfort in that there is someone else out there that has the same views as the listener does. The band uses punk rock music as a common ground with the listeners and expresses their views through their songs. This relates back to the author because this is a great way to protest through music. To the audience is the punk rock community who will not conform to society if their beliefs are strong enough. This relates to the purpose of creating an anger to go out into the world and make the people's voice heard. It all ties back together for the common goal of standing up for one's beliefs and not buying into the…

    Ethos Pathos And Logos

    • 1095 Words

    Both of our mediums provided a rhetorical analysis. Ethos was our brand and logo name which was Urban education advocates or the UEDA. Our logo also was depicted as a high school student running with a diploma in his hand because he was happy that he graduated and he didn’t let his urban environment deter him from getting a good education. Logos is our thesis and argument which was “Education = Success, we’ll accept nothing less”. Also logos was our drop out of highschool students in the pamphlet and in the poster. It was also the statistics that we said in the pamphlet. Pathos was our pictures in the poster which was on the powerpoint presentation. Student one on the left side of the poster, was depicted as the student from the low- income urban area home. She only had a piece of notebook paper to write on. In addition, she looked bored and uninterested in school and the work that she was doing. In contrast, the other student in the picture on the right, looked very interested in her work and in school. She also had better resources than the other student because she came from an upper class school. This student had a laptop in front of her and she looked fully engaged and she was fully prepared to do her work. These pictures showed an emotional appeal to our audience because you automatically become sorry for the urban girl. The audience thinks that it’s not fair to have one student writing with a piece a paper and the other with a laptop solely because they go to different schools in different cities. They both should be treated equally because they are both trying to get a decent education. But how can they both equally get a good education if they get different resources from…
