In this blog post I am focusing on the Michael Moore movie Where to Invade Next. This film focus was to show us how us as a country need to get better with our healthcare system, justice system, education system, and our employment system. He went to different countries across Europe, Germany and some other small places to show us their systems and to persuade us the audience to possibly take their ways of life to make it our own by making our voices actually work for us by going to the government to make our way of life better for now and the future generations to come . In the documentary Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore went into different countries to find out all of their good and to persuade the audience on how we the people should use the examples for us here in America. He went to some countries in Europe, Germany, and other places to see how there systems work. in this film he showed us how their justice system, healthcare, education, employment are better than ours here in the United States of America. We seen how they treat their employees in Italy and give them 8 weeks off in one year for sick, personal, and vacation time. In France they give the children four course lunch no added sugars and real food that deserves to be in a restaurant. Finland had only public schools and it is illegal to even have private schools. No matter rich or poor every child's education was the same. This is just a few to mention. Every time he seen something good that he thought that we should be doing in the United States he would put his American flag down and say that he was taking the idea. · How does Michael Moore establish Ethos? In the film he shows us what everyone else does not want to show us. He does not try to be something that he is not. He is raw and does not hold any punches. Michael is not afraid to show the world or anyone that wants to listen what needs to be heard and what needs to be said. To show us that we as a country need to change.
· How does Michael Moore use Logos? In the film Michael Moore showed a picture of a graph and compared the taxes in Italy to the United States of America. In the graph he showed us how even in Italy they may pay a little more taxes, but those taxes are shown to help their economy. Where as in the united states we the people pay a lot more and we don’t have any resources for schools and the likes and end up paying more money out of pocket then they do. · How does Michael Moore appeal to Pathos? There was a scene in the film that made me tear up a little and that was the jail scene. While he was in Norway he was showing us the way they deal with their criminals. And even their maximum-security prisons are better than our jails period. The men here were getting beat to a pulp and bit by dogs not only that but are also still not being able to keep their right to vote. Norway, they get debates done inside of their jail to get the votes of the inmates because their vote still matters like wow really. Their cells look like small little rooms with private bathrooms. · What is Michael Moore's Telos? His purpose was to persuade. He informed in a persuasive way. He was being serious, but it was very fun to watch how he would sarcastically ask them like well ‘’Why would you listen to your employees’’, and the person who would have to answer would be looking like for real are you serious. · What is the Kairos of this film? When he would hear the good things that another country was doing while he was invading he would take that opportunity to then compare it to our country to show us how we need to grow. One country Finland I believe said that their education system idea they got from the United States. How could you have an idea and don’t use it. Sad.
