Star Wars Rogue One has many elements that contribute to why the movie is so famous today. People can connect with the movie in many ways but also fantasize what life would be like in the Star Wars galaxy. There are two elements that help the movie, such as the noncognitive elements that are very dominate and the cognitive elements that help people connect with the movie. I will break down each element into parts and how the elements contribute to how people perceive and understand the movie.
The elements that seem to work according to cognitive principles are the Rebels and the Empire. They work according to the cognitive principles because they show the good verse evil. The Rebels and the Empire are realistic as there is always a

Another cognitive element is of a father and daughter relationship between Jyn Erso and Galen Erso. Galen has been captured by the Empire but was able to save his daughter from being captured by sending her to a hiding place. Galen has been captured by the Empire to help design a weapon that can destroy planets but does not agree with the evil Empire, so he sets a trap that will make the weapon fail. The weapon can only fail though with the help of his daughter that he sent away to not be captured. He was able to save her with a friend of his who down the road shows a message to her from her father of how she can save them from the Empire. She loves her father very much and is willing to do anything to save him but not at first because she thought he was dead. This father and daughter relationship is very crucial in the movie and is a huge cognitive part of the movie. Even though we do not know what exact galaxy they are in, we know the love between and father and daughter are very strong and will take a great ordeal to break that love. The elements that seem to work according to the noncognitive principles …show more content…
In Star Wars Rogue One, they seem to be from a very different galaxy that is abnormal and troublesome to comprehend in our own world. When watching the movie there seem to be many novums that are not natural or cognitively part of our galaxy. The work from Star Wars seems to predominately have noncognitive elements on a much higher scale compared to cognitive elements. Even though I have only discussed a few elements of each, there is way more noncognitive elements in the Star Wars galaxy. Having predominately noncognitive elements would suggest Star Wars is a fantasy according to Suvin. Star Wars would not be considered science fiction since science fiction is more cognitively connected to our world or could potentially be possible in our future. Star Wars being so different and way ahead of our time is challenging to comprehend which leads to the idea that Star Wars is not science fiction but a fantasy. If Star Wars was tilted more towards the cognitive elements, the movie would be very different in many ways. There would be no blasters for weapons or light sabers but weapons from our world that are modernized of our day today. There would be no flying ships such as the Death Star that has the capabilities of wiping out entire planets but there would be the use of nuclear war heads or weaponized cars or planes of some sort. Also, there would not be planets like Jedha,
Macbeth is a play written by William Shakespeare. It is considered one of his darkest and most powerful tragedies. Set in Scotland, the play dramatizes the corrosive psychological and political effects produced when evil is chosen as a way to fulfil the ambition for power.The play is believed to have been written between 1603 and 1607, and is most commonly dated 1606. It is a timeless classic and its themes resonate within some of the most common movies and books of modern times. Star Wars is an American epic space opera franchise centered on a film series created by George Lucas. The film series, consisting of two trilogies, has spawned an extensive media franchise called the Expanded Universe including books, television series, computer and video games, and comic books. The franchise depicts a galaxy described as far, far away in the distant past, and it commonly portrays Jedi as a representation of good, in conflict with the Sith, their evil counterpart. Their weapon of choice, the lightsaber, is commonly recognized in popular culture. It is arguably a cinematic masterpiece, holding in rank two of possibly the greatest trilogies the world has ever seen. It is a timeless epic which embodies within it an allegory for the history of the world; the rise and fall of empires and their emperors; the pursuit of power; the melting pot of cultures; the struggle for survival; the advancement of human technology; and most importantly as a whole, the history of humanity. Steven D. Graynus declared, “Ultimately, what the Star Wars films offer is….rousing storytelling suffused by themes of moral struggle and transcendence” (Decent Films Guide). The franchise's storylines contain many themes, with strong influences from philosophy and religio...
... cognitive acts, more generally, any mental acts, are not isolated particulars, coming or going in the stream of consciousness without any interconnections. As they are ESSENTIALLY related to one another, they display a teleological coherence and corresponding connections ... And on these connections, which present an intelligible unity a great deal depends.
We can start off with something that we all easily take granted for in movies and that is the imagery. We all have imaginations that can produce an accurate image depending on what we read or see, but something the books or plays couldn’t accomplish is give the image to us. So we wouldn’t have to seco...
Many devices such as theme, subject and meaning reflect different aspects of a film. The time and place that the movie is made are usually affected but this.
A tale as old as time itself, star crossed lovers, separated by forces bigger than themselves, crossing cultural boundaries to be together and paying the ultimate price. Our story starts in New York, New York, 1936. Joseph and Kelly had always been together, and now Joseph was going to study abroad and visit family in Germany. The two hugged and said their goodbyes as Joseph boarded the boat and took off. Kelly heard from him every day, until all at once the letters came with part blacked out with thick, heavy ink. Kelly became very concerned with the censorship of the letters and received no communication from Joseph about it, or maybe they did, and it was just redacted by the German censor bars. Things continued like this for awhile, then
Darko Suvin defines science fiction as "a literary genre whose necessary and sufficient conditions are the presence and interaction of estrangement and cognition, and whose main formal device" (Suvin 7-8) is a fictional "novum . . . a totalizing phenomenon or relationship" (Suvin 64), "locus and/or dramatis personae . . . radically or at least significantly" alternative to the author's empirical environment "simultaneously perceived as not impossible within the cognitive (cosmological and anthropological) norms of the author's epoch" (Suvin viii). Unlike fantasy, science fiction is set in a realistic world, but one strange, alien. Only there are limits to how alien another world, another culture, can be, and it is the interface between those two realms that can give science fiction its power, by making us look back at ourselves from its skewed perspective.
Whilst evaluating the cognitive approach to psychology there are many strengths such as that the cognitive approach takes an understanding of the influence from mental processes on one’s behaviour, focusing on an individual’s thinking patterns and their perception. This approach also relates to many known functions and operations that the human body performs such as memory and problem solving.
The aim of this essay is to give an account of what constitutes the cognitive revolution, and also assess the contributions that the cognitive revolution has made to the scientific study of psychology.
Other issues under the cognitive theory are social and learning theories that are founded on the assumptions that humans make decisions based on logical evaluation of ideas. One of the strengths of the theory is in its recognition of humans as logical beings. It rejects behaviorism because the theory does not recognize the importance of logics in human reasoning.
...verything around us is made by our actions. Positive or negative they cause an effect that will ultimately lead to a different story base on how we interpret life. Narrative elements are used as a bridge by the directors in their film to create any master plot that is currently known. Any modification at any narrative element used by the director at important moments inside the story can help you portray a different master plot. This used of narrative elements can be best described as an ever changing process that takes place inside an individual’s head. Depending on the individual that may be exposed to those narrative elements can create different meanings. This new interpretation can be different for everyone. We have to be aware that one change in the surface scenery can lead to many ideal outcomes in our minds and that is the main power the audience has.
The cognitive principle: the core idea of the cognitive element of CBT is based on looking at different interpretations which people make of events (Graham, 2005). It basically highlights that when two people react differently in a situation, it is because they feel and see the event differently and gives different ‘meaning’ to it.
With reference to the films you have studied for this topic, explore in detail two of the key elements that produce an emotional response in the spectator.

The genre of what is called science fiction has been around since The Epic of Gilgamesh (earliest Sumerian text versions BCE ca. 2150-2000). The last 4000 years has evolved science fiction and combined it with all categories of genres comprising action, comedy, horror, drama, and adventure in many different ways. From chest bursting aliens, to robot assassins sent back in time science fiction has successfully captured the imagination of nearly everyone that has been introduced to it. The movies Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Independence Day are both examples of films created with the idea of advanced life existing outside the boarders of our own world. The foundation for each film in view of how extraterrestrial life will affect human affairs, however are very different.
Cognitive: our understanding, thoughts and faith about the subject is or having knowledge about certain things is cognitive. Like to giving teaching to students that how things are to be done, because without having a prior knowledge they cannot be succeeds and they will not be able to use skills.
