Essay / The Mystery of the Chocolate Maker - 901
While watching the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I found several examples of Aristotle's rhetorical concepts: Logos, Ethos, Pathos, Telos and Karios. In this article, I will give brief examples of my findings using quotes and brief explanations of scenes from the film and how they relate to the concept. In the film, the logos or logic of this film is realistic at first, but as it introduces With the character of Willy Wonka, you begin to see the fantasy and exaggeration of the character and the world that he lives in and that he created for himself and his customers, and when they buy his candy, they get a taste of it. The film begins with a boy named Carlie Bucket. The film's narrators state early on that Charlie is not special, he is just an ordinary boy, no faster, stronger or smarter than the other kids. In fact, Charlie is a humble and well-behaved child who lives in a crumbling house, with his father and grandparents who have little or no money. In the film, he has the chance to win a unique prize, a trip to the Wonkas Factory, which has been closed to the public for over 15 years. He finds a golden ticket and goes to the chocolate factory with four other children. In the end, Charlie wins the prize, but refuses Wonka's offer to leave his family and become his heir and take over the candy factory. Ethos, which essentially translates to “credibility or dignity.” The ethos of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory rests on the narrator's possibility that anything is possible. At first, his character Charlie and his living conditions are somewhat believable, and the search for the golden ticket is possible, but the author introduces Willy Wonka. He's a weird... middle of paper... little cabin he calls home. Throughout the film, in the factory, you see many of the advanced technologies that Wonka uses to create his candy, such as a candy transporter that he experiments on to transport his candy. He also uses a flying glass elevator which he uses to travel around the factory and to Charlie's house. This could imply that it is either extremely advanced with its technology and the rest of the world far behind or that the films take place in a later future, but the clothes the characters wear are very unlikely. Aristotle's rhetorical concepts are used every day. Whether through text, film, or even conversation in one form or another, at least one of its concepts is used. By breaking them down and evaluating each concept used in a film or book, it can make understanding things much clearer and give you a new way of looking at things..
