Rhetorical Analysis Of Federico Fellini's Film La Strada, Randall Scott Hanzen
Rhetorical Analysis Of Federico Fellini's Film La Strada, Randall Scott Hanzen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
One of the problems faced by critics in the past was a lack of critical resources that would allow for viewing a film as more than just moving pictures. Certainly, it would be difficult to understand or appreciate Fellini's use of the spiritual and metaphysical realms of reality if a critic did not have a means for such analysis. This writer believes that a rhetorical analysis serves as that means to the interpretive end. This study seeks to shed light on Fellini's definition of man's reality through its rhetorical analysis. Noted philosopher of rhetoric Kenneth Burke proclaims that a "rhetorical …
