The film uses rhetorical strategies such as pathos, ethos, and logos to make this movie bring emotions, blank stares, and leave the audience to question reality.

Characterization plays a big role capturing the theme due to the sacrifice from the soldiers. Symbolism shows how much of an emotional burden was the loss of fellow soldiers and the love the left back home. Tone expresses the buried feelings that have been kept within the soldier’s minds. When he uses these three elements he helped his readers see a deeper meaning. To see his reader not only look at a bigger picture but to really understand what the soldiers had to face day in and day out.
I think that this movie has a lot to do with movement I will probably say that if in a silence movie there was no movement at all there would probably be no entertainment at all since there is not much talk and the soundtrack is from the kind of jazz. At first, I did not saw the interest of watching this movie at all, but as the movie was moving I was finding really cool stuff about understanding movies such as the interaction in where the characters were casting their role. This movie is from the 1920, which is quite interesting that the costumes the characters are wearing are from that time and we can as well see that it is going from acts one by one and the soundtrack is really amazing that it accords by what is going on in the film. However, at times gets somewhat scary like when Cesare
Present throughout the book is the theme of disillusionment. In the school, they’ve been told by their schoolmasters and parents that unless they join the war, they would remain cowards. They see propaganda after propaganda, all alluding towards the glory of battle and warfare. Out on the front, they realize that nothing was further from the truth. Their dreams of being heroes shattered, like when they compare themselves to the soldier on a poster in chapter 7.
With this film device, conflict and character progression can be seen through the spoken words, and the theme of the film is
A common theme throughout the movies we watched, Paths of Glory, Beasts of No Nation, and City of God was that of Brotherhood. Brotherhood is a common theme throughout all war movies but especially prevalent in these. For example, to develop this theme in Paths of Glory, Stanley Kubrick, uses the costumes to show uniformity, which in turns represents brotherhood. Another example of this in Paths of Glory is the use of the dialogue by Colonel Dax as he is constantly trying to defend his company from the council. In Beast of No Nation the director, Cary Fukunaga, develops the theme of brotherhood by showing how close Agu and Strika were, and showing them go through their hardships together.
The freedom and the safety of the homeland is the key figure in patriotism and in order to provide a concrete security, a nation should have a strong army.

Ideology The movie that I have chosen to analyze is the 2004 film Crash. This film emphasizes the intertwining cultures of today 's society and the conflicts faced from class, culture, stereotypes and racism. The explicit content of this film is to teach the audience that one person 's choices has an impact on another person or multiple people and to persuade the audience that we as a society need to change how we treat each other. The films overt message does generate social dialogue, however, this film can be interpreted by the audience through their own beliefs and behaviors causing some misinterpretation.
