In the movie The Secret it makes an attempt to explain a certain force that they call The Law of Attraction, as well as claiming that this Law of Attraction is the end all solution to having your wants and needs achieved. Throughout the entire duration of the movie it plays a somewhat dramatic background music, Doing this creates pathos towards the reader, making the speaker seem credible or at least more believable in this case.. Almost always after someone is finished talking, the movie plays a quote taken out of context content from a historical political figure. “ ‘You create your own universe as you go along’ Winston Churchill, 1974 - 1965 “ (The Secret). This quote was shown in between two interviews and played over an ominous background with a very low-pitched voice as well as being ghostly. While …show more content…
During one portion of the movie they talked about whatever you think, or a direct reflection on your thinking. This is using pathos to persuade the viewer into thinking that this direct reflection on your thinking will influence your life and give you anything you desire just by thinking about it. Parts in the movie also implied that the law of attraction follows your brain's thoughts and feelings, making it so if you are happy, happy things will happen, if you think something will happen, it will happen. This is an example if pathos, it attempts to make the view believe that they will have anything with thought. Early on in the movie the speakers say that this ‘ Law of Attraction ‘ affects everyone in the universe, this is an example of logos and hasty generalization, it is assuming that all individuals are affected by the
Newton’s Law the first law being an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction. In this movie I would say that Newtons 3rd Law came into effect. That being for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction which states for every force there is an equal and opposite force.
...ll, the accuracy and fairness of the arguments presented within suffer from the financial interest of those professionals within the movie. The argument stilts itself on the ethos attributed to the perceived authority figures, attributing correlation as causation, in order to drive home a marketable lifestyle that focuses more on pathos-laden reasoning than on a logical foundation. Based on the potential demographic, it could very well be effective to achieving the goal of those involved with the film.
The entire movie is bursting with counter narratives, when the audience believes they hold an accurate grasp on what is truly happening, there is a misguiding event, as the storyline is continually challenged. The viewer’s beginning formations about what is going on are learned to be always questionable because what is repeatedly steered to trust and is revealed not be the truth in the conclusion of the film. This neo-noir film had multiple scenarios that make the previous actions untrustworthy to the actual message. This proves that all the observations and thoughts the viewer possesses are only relevant to what they are exposed to and shown and not to what is, in fact, happening.
John Grisham uses personal experience and cause and effect strategies for emotional appeals or also known as pathos to show the audience how movies greatly influence people and their decisions.
Originally written for the motion picture “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” this masterpiece reaches me on a variety of scales ranging from my deepest desires to simple everyday lessons to live by. The amiable tune that is heard throughout the song and the lyrics commence with provoking that the world is a deep, vast place full of disappointments. Fortunately, I perceived it to show the ugly before the good and gradually ventures into hope and optimism. There are many lessons that are interwoven in the tone and the instrumental choice of this song and give me a great sense of motivation towards future events and how I am able to handle whatever conflicts arise.
In his first thought, Greg M. Smith establishes nothing is random within fictional lives. First off, he points out how easy it is to treat films like everything happens by chance, but proceeds to prove this is not the case. We are encouraged to get caught up in the movie’s world. Even a pedestrian of a scene has specific directions to follow. Outfits are chosen at length. Environments are carefully picked for being utilized by filmmakers. Everything in a movie has a purpose and has been edited and reviewed several times before reaching the big screen.
The concept the movie’s based on is that something so small as the fluttering of a butterfly's wings could result into something big. Every time he changes just a small detail in the past, it has dramatic effects later on in the future.
The 2004 film, 50 First Dates starred by Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore revolved around Drew's role, who has a kind of amnesia that the movie refers to as loss of short-term memory.

According to the Webster's dictionary love is defined as “a feeling of strong personal attachment; ardent affection or the strong liking of another person.” However, in all actuality what is love? What is it that causes the butterflies? What is it that causes the emotions that can't be described in words other than, “you just know?” the feelings for every person are unique when it comes to love which makes defining it even more difficult. Even though the relationships and the experiences differ for each person; the concept of love all involves the same three stages- lust, attraction, and attachment. Those three stages each have their own particular physiological effect on a person. The reactions that a person in love can have may include butterflies, sweaty hands, a rapid heartbeat and even more, but what is it that truly causes this? What is happening to a person’s brain when they are in love?
In studies about attraction, it has been found out that people have a tendency to be strongly attracted to look-a-likes in physical and social appearance and to potential partners who, in important domains, are similar to themselves (Lucas, Wendorf, & Imamoglu, 2004). According to the Social Homogamy Theory, we are more likely to select a mate as someone who is very similar to us rather than different. We choose mates within specified sociological categories called "endogamous mate selection norms" within categories of age, race, status, religious affiliations, socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. Another theory that supports similarity in attraction is the Wheel Theory by Sociologist Ira Reiss (1980).
My favorite theory of personality is Carl Rogers’ person-centered theory. “Rogers believed that within each of us is an active, controlling drive toward fulfillment of our potentials that enables us to maintain and enhance ourselves.” I feel this relates to my Christian faith because I am constantly “maintaining and enhancing toward fulfillment.” I strive daily to be a good Christian and a good student. I have mentioned in other assignments that I am a work in progress and I believe we all are. The priest at my hometown church, Fr. Renato Cruz, always adds after he gives us a goal to accomplish that “the rewards are out of this world.”
This is partly because of the way individuals mentally organize perceptions, and partly the agenda of the film itself presented by the author’s inherent bias. Filmmakers impart themes through imagery which lies in the way the audience makes sense out of what it sees through its own bias, history of myths, and the mechanics that affect the workings of the sense of Gestalt’s
