  Burnt Trailer Analysis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsyzkkI_g14 Rhetorical situation: The purpose of this trailer is just like all others, to captivate and engage viewers to watch its film. Which it does a good job at, and I’ll talk about later. The film Burnt is about the grit, determination, and boldness of chefs in the most prestigious and modern kitchens around the world. Following the story of Adam Jones played by Bradley Cooper, this film explores the complexities and dynamics of a kitchen while also showing the extreme amount of stress that inflicts the day-to-day worker. In the official trailer for the film, we get to hear a summarized story of Adam Jones’s life and why he is such a renowned chef. This story is told by himself and other characters that are in the film. This I feel is very useful in helping the viewer get an idea for the film and what it will entail. However, after seeing the film, I feel that the trailer gives away too much of the story and ...

 First off, I'd like to say that this film was great and I had a very good time watching it. I feel like I wouldn't have seen it if it wasn't for this assignment. Everything about this film was great from the casting, and editing, to the story it tells was beautiful.       Overall, this film shows many different aspects to life that we all experience and really dives into different family dynamics. But one thing this movie really explores is nihilism. When the audience finds out Evelyn’s daughter, Joy had become an antagonist for the film, she begins to express her disappointment in everything and believe that nothing matters in the grand scheme of things. I think Joy felt this way because she began feeling unseen by her own mother, just as Evelyn did by having a strict and unforgiving father.             I think nihilism is a good addition to this film as it shows how lost Joy has become but also how its ...

 In Moonlight (2016) written by Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney, the theme that is conveyed throughout the film is identity.  Chiron’s whole life he struggles to find who he is. Growing up he is bullied by the other boys as he doesn’t quite fit in. He is much smaller compared to the others, so he is regularly picked on and nicknamed “little”. In the scene where Chiron leaves the rest of the boys playing in the park, Kevin notices that Chiron is always picked on by the other boys and helps Chiron to stand up for himself. Kevin explains that if Chiron doesn’t stand his ground and fight back that he will always get picked on. So, Kevin wrestles with Chiron to help him believe in himself more and when they are done wrestling Kevin says, “…I knew you wasn’t soft.”, helping Chiron gain some confidence in himself. In this scene, Kevin was just trying to help Chiron not get picked on as he either felt pity for him. Growing up it appears Chiron only has his mother to depend o...

 Hello all! My name is Arbiovitch and I would like to introduce myself.  I am an avid enjoyer of movies of all genres. I enjoy fiction and non-fictional films from Star Wars to Foxcatcher. I think film and television is a great tool to escape and learn lessons that we can apply to our lives or to just be entertained for a couple of hours. In this blog, I will review popular films and television series and give my honest opinion and review of them. I hope that you will read my posts to help understand the gist of the films I write about and if you find my opinion of a certain film to be “incorrect” or “wrong” I encourage you to respond as I find others' opinions and views to be helpful to understanding and seeing everyone point of view on certain film. I will begin this series by only watching films that are found exclusively on Netflix as to allow others to easily access these films and voice their own opinions. I am very interested in all types of films so suggestions would b...
