The use of definition when it comes to dopamine, for example, is an excellent rhetorical strategy for those unfamiliar with the chemical and its effects on happiness. This comes to light when the film describes dopamine as “a chemical in the brain called a neurotransmitter that’s necessary for feelings of pleasure and happiness” , and then explains the intricate details of its process in the brain (Belic). Considering how dopamine is the fundamental chemical for happiness, it is essential that this documentary set in modern times touch upon it. When it comes to rhetorical strategies, the documentary does hold an advantage over written pieces in terms of imagery. Obviously, to use one image or vivid description would be a discredit to the others it presents, but where its imagery holds the most power is when the film demonstrates people “doing what they love” while talking about it, such as the surfer who describes his passion as the camera shows him curving over a wave (Belic). This particular usage of imagery allows the audience to visualize and connect with what the surfer is describing, and almost allowing them to experience it in the same fashion. This works particularly well in combination with the sound effects of the waves and wind combined and the soothing soundtrack to provide an element of

According to Munsterberg’s film theory, the motion picture is an original medium in that it aesthetically stimulates the spectator’s senses. Although both still picture and theatrical play can possibly leave images on the spectator’s retina or brain, each element of motion picture, including camera angle and work, lighting, editing, music, and the story itself, appeals to somewhere more than just retina or brain— the element of motion picture truly operates upon the spectator’s mind. Speaking of Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, the film unfolds a story of physically and mentally repressed ballerina’s life. Due to the film’s effective filming and editing techniques, the film successfully increases excitement as well as suspense in the story. Since Black Swan captures not only the real world the ballerina lives in but also the other side of the world the ballerina has within her mind, its spectator would experience a fantastic world where one ballerina lives in two different worlds at the same time. Even though the still picture and the theatrical play also give the spectator either a visual or an aural image, motion picture is the one that stimulates the spectator’s senses with its story, color, sound, acting, filming, and editing.

One can easily identify that inculcation of fiction and romance is helpful...
Movies take us inside the skin of people quite different from ourselves and to places different from our routine surroundings. As humans, we always seek enlargement of our being and wanted to be more than ourselves. Each one of us, by nature, sees the world with a perspective and selectivity different from others. But, we want to see the world through other’s eyes; imagine with other’s imaginations; feel with other’s hearts, at a same time as with our own. Movies offer us a window onto the wider world, broadening our perspective and opening our eyes to new wonders.
