Element 1: Persuasion
Persuasion is the key to convincing someone to do something that you want. It is important because it helps you to have people believe what you are saying so you look more credible. Even if you do not really know what you are talking about, but look confident doing it, you can persuade people to think or believe anything. For example, Ryan Gosling uses persuasion in order to convince Emma Stone to have a drink with him. He becomes very persistent with his smooth, gentleman-like ways, but ultimately seems to fail. He continues to tell Emma how beautiful she is and how he is unable to focus his attention anywhere but on her. Emma, although she could not deny that Ryan was an extremely good looking man, she figures …show more content…
Body language, posture, and actions are all components of non-verbal communication. We are much more likely to judge someone through what they do rather than what they say. When Steve Carell was venting to a woman at the bar about his wife’s affair and his poor luck with females, it was clear she was not listening by the way she was facing.

Right when he thinks the world is crashing down and no one is there for him, and the lady at the bar can’t even listen to his rant for longer than a minute. I personally think that was a message that the movie producers wanted the viewers to take out of that scene as …show more content…
A very large basis of the movie is that Steve needs to change his ways from a dork to a man. With Ryan Gosling’s help, he is able to transform into a new person. Ryan starts by throwing away Steve’s shoes and suggests that as long as he is not in a frat he should not be wear New Balance sneakers. Ryan recommends that he opts for much more business attire looking shoes like with a pointed toe and leather. Before Ryan’s help, Steve was still trying to find himself as a newly single man. He needed desperately to rise above the heartache of his beloved wife’s affair. Once Steve was dressed to a tee and had the confidence of a tiger, he was able to pick up some girls at the bar. Surely he made a few mistakes as a beginner in the dating world, but even when he thought he had messed it all up he realized that what he said was working. With a little bit of Ryan’s help, Steve was able to discover his personal identity and establish
