My Last Hollywood Rhetorical Analysis

Improved Essays
In Anzia Yezierska’s “My Last Hollywood Script”, she makes an important discovery that she may not be the genuine writer she claims to be. When our narrator goes up to talk she rips her speech up and tells young girls the truth of becoming famous. Our narrator went through some default paths on writing her book. She was discouraged by her teachers, they were telling her that to be a cook because writers don’t make any money; but Yezierska did whatever she could to be a writer and to say something of her own. When she told the girls the truth she got a reaction that she wasn’t expecting from them. Our narrator realized from the reactions that deep down inside she was like the young girls.

    The film I reviewed for my rhetorical analysis was the documentary Thirteenth (13th). This documentary uses many methods to show the viewer how the oppression of African Americans has evolved overtime since slavery. Thirteenth was directed by Ava Duvermay, who is a well-known director that produced other renowned films such as Selma. The documentary was produced by Ava DuVermay, Howard Barish, and Spencer Averick. This film does a great job of using notable speakers, pictures and facts to explain to the viewers how African Americans are still being oppressed today.…

He does this by stating, “the Net is becoming a universal medium” not only for himself, but for everyone.…

    In the movie Rize, an escalation of positive impact to a battle of two distinct styles of dancing, takes over the inner city of Los Angeles known as Watts. “Tommy the Clown” implements a company, and later a style known as “clowning.” that is taken up by adults and children of all ages, backgrounds, and physical statuses within the community. Based on an analysis of such a plot, the title “Rize” could be inferred to rhetorically describe the movement that this ‘clown’ began, “rising” from a solo act at children’s birthday parties, to the most influential person within the city.…

    The stimulus above is a quote from the movie ‘Blade Runner’. The quote above is delivered by a machine called a replicant, a machine that is capable of mimicking a human being. In suggesting that this machine is able to replicate a human in some emotional capacity, the stimulus raises the preliminary question of whether or not we can know what it is like to be a replicant (as it is something that mimics our own behaviours such as in the case of feeling sad)? If we can consider a replicant to be human, then ultimately, we can know what it is like to be a replicant. Thus if a replicant can mimic our own behaviours, can we call it human?…

Too often people do not realize that there are subtle ways a film can go from good to great. There are certain things that filmmakers can do to help immerse their audience.…
