Once Upon A Time In Anatolia Rhetorical Analysis

552 Words3 Pages

Once Upon a Time in Anatolia provided many different sources of human emotion, some different from the American ways and some the same. The director tested the audience’s patience, by opening very slowly but making sure he showed reactions and facial and body expressions very well. In the beginning while they were searching for the body the camera would begin far away with the cars coming in the distance, you would hear the men speaking. As the camera got closer the thing that stood out the most was the facial expressions Kenan has and will have for the entirety of the movie. He has a look of desperation, and depression. As you read more into this expression, it looked as if he doesn’t feel bad for himself, but he feels bad for his family and others around him. The movie utilizes the camera angles, meaning the way the camera …show more content…

The film shows many differences between turkey and America, one being how law enforcement is run, how people act in different situations and also what different symbols mean in the different culture. The director had this hidden message connected to the film, I believe it is the idea that an adult’s child will be the ones paying for their mistakes, not the parents. This ties into why Kenan would be showing the certain emotions he did and why at the end of the movie his family stood and watched him get taken away, not doing anything but just stood there. I think we may have watched this movie also because it’s here to teach us that our mistakes will always have effects, not only on us but the people around us especially family. Once Upon a Time in Anatolia was a depicted movie, focusing directly on human expression. The way the director uses expression, word choice and body language gets across an implied message as well as a spoken message. The film gave me insight of what another culture may consist of and how things are ran in different

  • Azari's Rhetoric Analysis

    215 Words  | 1 Pages

    Before delving into Azari’s conclusions on mandate rhetoric, her methodology is interesting. She analyzes a dataset of news conferences, television and radio addresses, minor addresses made during travel and at meetings of groups such as the Chamber of Commerce, messages to Congress, and various remarks and memoranda addressed to members of the executive branch, totaling 1,467 communications from 1933 to 2009. The important thing to note is that she confines her dataset to the first 70 days of each term of a president. She argues this controls for “exogenous events and facilitates comparison across presidential administrations.” The problem with this small size is that it limits the dataset to roughly 5 percent of a single presidential term.

  • Odyssey Rhetorical Analysis Essay

    708 Words  | 3 Pages

    Recognizing the enormity of conflict can often be difficult. In lines 41-73 of Book 22 of the Odyssey, Homer uses diction and juxtaposition of language to contrast the calm and flattery tone of Eurymachus with the harsh and stark tone of Odysseus, and to illustrate the magnitude of the conflict, as well as dialogue to illuminate conflict between the suitors and Odysseus. Homer utilizes these literary techniques to underscore the tension between the characters in the passage. Book 22 begins with Odysseus confronting the suitors about his dismay at them for occupying his palace with Penelope while he departed. Eurymachus then uses a calm tone full of flattery in an attempt to mitigate the conflict with Odysseus.

    The Onion uses satirical humor to poke fun at modern advertisements and the gullibility of Americans have by mocking the techniques used to sell consumer goods; it does this through its mocking publication of a product called MagnaSoles. This article uses quotes from customers that have bought MagnaSoles, subtle jokes and puns, and the over exaggeration of the sciences implemented by Magnasoles. The article is rampant with subtle hints, jokes, and puns that key the reader in that this article is a joke. With the use of "pseudoscientists" and "pseudoscience" used throughout the article, as well as the "scientific-sounding literature", this is an indicator that this is not real science talking. It also makes fun of the use of making a paper seem more credible through its constant

  • Summary: The Rhetorical Situation

    303 Words  | 2 Pages

    My definition of rhetoric before the readings was simply: successful written or oral communication with a clear purpose & audience in mind. After completing the readings, I have decided that is not specific enough and does not encompass what rhetoric really is. The readings by Crusus, Channell, and Drucker helped establish a clear relationship between argument, “mature reasoning”, and communication as a mode used to communicate. Both of the readings provided a clearer understanding of argument and communication, key components to rhetoric, but did not change my definition until I read “The Rhetorical Situation” by Bitzer. The idea of a rhetorical situation, provided a clear application of the question: “What is rhetoric?”
