Recommended: Analysis of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Charlie and the Chocolate factory is a remake of the children’s classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, although the acting, setting, and story may seem silly at times, the movie actually have a logical message hidden beneath it all. The emotional connection, credibility, logic, purpose, and setting of the movie are extremely valid, and when you get past the childish cover up, it is really a serious movie.
The use of pathos is very strong in the beginning and end of the movie, first with the Character Charlie. He does not come from a privileged background, and his father (the only working parent) does everything he can to provide for Charlie and the rest of the family. When the golden tickets were announced you can see Charlie’s hope start to build, when Charlie does win the ticket with no hope or expectations, his excitement exceed most children’s and as he runs home creaming for his parents to tell him the news, you would think he wouldn’t trade the ticket for anything. After showing his parents Charlie begins to get serious and evaluates the living condition of him and his family, and states he wants to sell the ticket for money, because the chocolate cannot make living conditions any better. Children don’t normally do that kind of sacrifice, but with Charlie you can see his seriousness, and at that moment you can feel everything he is portraying, it makes you remember how much you wanted to help your own parents with the bills as a child.
Willy Wonka has his own form of pathos too, towards the end of the movie Mr. Wonka decides to see his dad whom he ran away from as a child, so he can eat candy. When Wonka ran away his father said “… I will not be here when you get back!” this is what parents say to their children i...

...t of their dark side and really supports the use of Telos. The Factory pretty much swallows the fat German kid whole after he tries to eat the Factory, using the German kid’s passion against him. The champion kid’s passion was gum and the gum did come from the factory, but that is not a real use of kairos. Both the British kid and bratty geek get what they deserve. The British girl is kicked into the garbage shoot by a squirrel she wanted. Thinking she can get whatever she wanted, she goes after the squirrel when her father wouldn’t, and that ended with both of them in the garbage. The bratty geek’s use of kairos is strong just like the fat German boys. The Geek was trying to prove transportation but ended up really small and proved Mr. Wonka right when he said it should not be done. Like the Fat German, The bratty geek was swallowed up by the factories temptations.

  • Rhetorical Analysis of the Film, Waiting for Superman

    1238 Words  | 3 Pages

    Educational systems in America are impaired, and the very educators that are meant to teach are the one’s pulling it down. That is the apparent message that Davis Guggenheim attempts to convey in his documentary “Waiting for Superman”. He uses many strategies to get his message across. Some of these include cartoons, children, and those reformers that are attempting to pull the system out of the ditch that it has found its way into. He makes his point very well, and uses facts and figures correctly. He does leave out some of the opinions of the opposing views, but it does not take away from his point that the educational system in America is in need of repair.

  • The Novel Is Remarkable, and the Film Is Exceptional

    “I forgive you, Dad.” (Movie) On the movie screen the tearful Eddie, with his trembling voice, is wholeheartedly trying to reach out to his father inside the Diner in Heaven. It is the moment that Eddie’s sentimental reflection turns into an emotional eruption. At that moment Eddie’s tears almost wet my face. That is just one of stunning visual effects I felt while watching the film, “The Five People You Meet in Heaven.” The film, directed by Lloyd Kramer, is based on the book with the same title, written by Mitch Albom. In terms of plot, general theme, and setting, they are all projected in similar ways both in the book and the movie, such as chronological order of the five people Eddie meets in Heaven, use of flashbacks, and Ruby Pier entertainment park as the central stage. By appearance, both in the book and the movie, Eddie and the five people are naturally the major focus. However, I believe that the relationship between Eddie and his father is specially fabricated by the director and the author with the intention of making the story more complex and captivating. On top of that, I find that Eddie’s father, portrayed as a controversial character throughout the book and all over the film, is really worth further reviewing and discussion. More specifically, I would like to analyze the similarities and differences vividly perceived between the novel and the movie in various ways of portraying the father.

    Pathos is mostly implemented when Krakauer speaks of the moment when McCandless’s parents visit the site where their son died. Billie McCandless’s quote in this portion of the book resonates as a sad admittance. He says, ” Many people have told me that they admire Chris for what he was trying to do. If he’d lived, I would agree with them. But he didn’t, and there’s no way to bring him back.”(203) The quote serves to articulate the fact that the child of two parents are dead. This makes it difficult for people to think of Chris in such a negative way as before, because he is gone.

    Some films are made for mind-numbing entertainment, some are made to make you cry, and some are made to think, to question, Missrepresentation is one of the later films. The movie makes you question society and even yourself and what you view as the norm in media. I enjoyed the film overall. I believe the message the film was trying to portray was message that needs to be said and heard. Watching the film made me realize how so many things I just accept in the media that harm women and perpetuate rape culture and misogyny. Missrepresentation is a film that made me think and connect its message with what we are learning in class and my own life.

    The book, "Being There," is about a man named Chance, who is forced to move out of the house he lived in his whole life and his experience in the outside world. Based on the success of the book, the movie, "Being There," was made. The author of the book, Jerzy Kosinski, also wrote the screenplay for the movie. I think the major difference between the book and the movie is that in the book, we get to read what Chance is feeling and thinking, but in the movie, we only get to see his actions.
