In honor of the recently learned effects of claims of policy, fact, and value, I decided to write about a review on a movie I had seen this weekend, "Gravity". Gravity was a film about a woman (Sandra Bullock) who is stuck in space. The most intriguing thing about the movie, however, was not the situation, but it was the reality of every scene. The filming was, in my opinion, incredible, and the review agreed with me. The movie review was written by a man named Michael Morganstern, who writes for the Huffington Post. I found its claim first. The article writes, "I don't usually write movie reviews, but this film was so spectacular and disturbing at the same time, I felt like I had to." (Morgenstern, 1) Automatically, I agreed. The article also makes a claim of value by saying that he wouldn't be surprised if Bullock won an Oscar for best acting, while also saying that her acting performance was "stunning". He also mentions that her character was not only intriguing, but she was the heroine throughout the film. In a way, I feel as if he tries to persuade the audience to see the movie, maybe even twice. What jumped out at me from the article, though, was that he did state some of the claims that could have been made from the other side of the argument. For example, he says that it's "easy to forgive the cheesiness of the film" (Morgenstern 1). Although he agrees with this statement, he also says that it's extremely easy to look past this little flaw because of its achievement in so many other areas. He then goes on to try and oppose a claim that has been made about the script being underdeveloped. I think the article itself was extremely effective in supporting its initial claim. Not only does it praise the filming, the actors, and the director, but it also recognizes the possible opinions that others may have against the film, and addresses those claims as well as the one that the article attempts to make. In my opinion, I did enjoy the movie the first time. The article, though, almost makes me want to see it again.
