➢ Anchor 2 (James): If everyone did not know already, Black Panther was released Friday,
February 16th, produced by Marvel’s Ryan Coogler. This also happens to be released
during February, which is national Black History Month. It has been trending on the box
➢ Anchor 1 (Jose): If you have not watched the movie already here is a brief summary of
the movie. Black Panther is the position of king of a hidden country “Wakanda” with
unbelievable technology based from a special metal, vibranium. The main conflict of the
movie is when a hidden, forgotten son, Killmonger, defeats the current king, T’Challa, in
a ritual duel that gives him rights to the throne. As king, he chooses to expose
Wakanda’s technology, and unleash all its powers on people who have oppressed
Wakandans in other countries. The majority of the government remains loyal to the
➢ Anchor 2 (James): The plot is less important today, as we will be specifically looking the
representative symbols and roles in movie. We will be analyzing the main characters and
the plot in the film to see in what ways the audience can connect to them and how film
can engage the audience by providing literacy narratives describing our experiences
with film.
➢ Anchor 3 (Shwe): We will also connect the film to social movements in today’s society
such as Black Lives matter movement and how the film has raised awareness on the
Rhetorical Analysis essays, we will be conducting interviews with students as well as our
peers, asking them questions pertaining how the film has similarities to today’s society
within America with Donald Trump as president, what social matters were apprehended
in the film, and what ways this film can connect to the theme of power, literacy, and race.
“There was controversy about Black Panther not having enough white actors, besides the CIA
“In what ways do you think the film has raised awareness in regards to social inequality matters
“Do you believe the film has had any affect in the way you visual the United States government
on how conservative the city Wakanda was, and if so, do you believe it has any correlation to
Trump’s presidency?”
“Have you heard the soundtrack?” “How do you think it is relevant to black pride? Favorite
song?”

“When the movie was released, it became popular and was trending on Twitter and all social
media platforms for several days. Marvel had not released a film with a superhero protagonist, a
person of color. This became a phenomenon and a major change. How has Black Panther
“Black Panther includes a lot of scenes with the major female roles. Why do you believe the film
has emphasized the importance of the role women have in today’s society, as there been
moments within Trump’s presidency that has devalued the importance of women in today’s
world?”
Reflect on interviews
➢ Jose A. Jauregui: The film King Kong in 2005 was the first film that I can clearly
remember that evoked my thoughts and emotions. I never was into reading nor movies
because I have been someone who has favorited hands on activities as a means of
learning. Being seven years old at the time I was not aware of what a rhetorical situation
was or historical context, but what I did understand was how film can deliver a message
that makes us feel like we are all connected. The message I got from that film was never
judge a book by its cover, because no matter how scary one may seem we all have the
same heart inside. Through film I understood that visuals is another way one can
understand rhetorical messages and feel as if they are part of the film, Films not only can
evoke empathy, but suspense, or anger and that is what makes film such a strong
aspect in the world of delivering messages. Films can be more appealing by making the
audience engage with the characters within and it makes those people like myself ,who
are not into reading, feel like we are the character in the movie or have a similar lifestyle
as them.
➢ James Chong: The first film that moved me was Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki. I was
always more into action movies, but my parents sat me down and made me watch this
cartoon film. At the time I was young, so I was not aware that movies could be there to
send a strong meaningful message, I just watched movies because I thought they were
cool. At first I thought the movie was scary because the main character's parents turned
into pigs, but as the movie progressed, I realized it was about the bond and strength of
love between the protagonist to get her parents back. As a child, I remember tearing up
and having my emotions stirred up from watching such a heartbreaking and warming
story. Watching Spirited Away marked the point in my life where I enjoyed all movies,
because I knew that films could engage their audience with feeling and emotions,
➢ Shwe Nemyo: Bridge to Terabithia is one of the very first movies I remember seeing
from my childhood, based off a novel. If it is not familiar, it tells a story about a friendship
between a young boy, Aaron, and a young girl, Leslie, as they create a fantasy realm
from their imagination. Their creativity allowed for their relationship to blossom and
expand with magical creatures. Terabithia became a place for them to have time to
themselves and get away from reality, after swinging the rope over the creek. However,
a horrific incident happens to Leslie, and Aaron does not have the strength to continue in
Terabithia because it relied on their friendship. The movie evoked many emotions from
my sister and I. We knew they were just actors, but the setting, music, and action all
created an emotional scene to affect us, the audience. From there in third grade, I
realized that movies were not just for entertainment. And I continued to realize that every
time I watched a movie or televisions show. Every film has its purpose, whatever the
genre may be. Now when I go to the movie theaters, I tend to think about the message
the film is trying to convey. If a movie does not have a message that can relate to its
Scene 5: Recap of the show and connect back to our audience (UCI students)
If film has moved them or made them think a different way about life regarding to race or power
relevant in today’s world that may not affect us directly, but affect someone we may know.
Although all hope seems to be dim with the way Trump has managed the nation of America
making us seem more of a foolish nation rather than the American dream we are known for,
films can be an effective way to deliver a message of hope and reassurance to everyone who
can relate to the message. For those people who participate within the black lives matter
movement whether it be physically or through social media, you’re raising awareness in different
platforms. Would you rather be the person in history who did not help with the social matters in
today’s world or be the one who uplifts the generations to come through your own personal
platform. Thank you to those who we interviewed and our viewers. I highly recommend seeing
