This commercial encaptures a broad and multicultural audience. It talks about a show that looks like will document the lives and cultures that 4 different babies will grow up in. The cultures vary vastly appealing to a large audience. I think it also captures those not only multicultural but also those interested in travel as the babies come not only from a multicultural home but live in complete different areas of the globe. It appeals to parents as well. I think it works in favor of Argument as Emergence, Rhetoric as Love. As we learn about the different cultures in this way, we understand them, see where they come from and essentially learn to 'love' them. The author would say that through this, our arguements towards different cultures can be more ready and understood from the opposites as we learn to understand the 'opposing' whatever that may be culturally.
I believe this trailer is geared towards everyone. The different cultures that each child will grow up in will become some sort of argument for all cultural backgrounds to ponder on. Everyone will have their own opinion in each place in the world that traveling will take place for the children, but everyone will also realize how similar we all are after watching how these babies in different areas grow up.
I've actually seen this movie and it's some of the most randomly hilarious things ever. I agree with Tim in that this trailer is geared to interest all people. But I do not believe that the reasoning for the babies to all be in different countries is to see the differences. Instead I believe that they just used the different places to make the film more interesting and explore all walks of life.
From this preview of the movie "Babies", are the lyrics to the song "The Perpetual Self, or "What Would Saul Alinsky Do?"" by Stevens, Sufjan, copied from MetroLyrics.com.
Everything is lost, uh oh But I know that you can take it to the Lord Everything you want, uh oh Is it all that you can gather for yourself?
Do you love a lot, uh oh? It's the love that changes gifts to everyone Everything is lost, uh oh Is it strange that you perpetuate yourself?
You wonder what it costs, uh oh It's the joy that he will carry to the door Everything is lost, uh oh Still I know that you can take it to the world
All that he has given to the world All that he has given to the world All that he has given to the world All that he has given to the world
All that he has given to the world All that he has given to the world
Four babies from different cultures and environments are displayed by rotating videos of their days and life from new born to their first birthday. These tender moments are emphasized by this beautiful song from Stevens, Sufjan. The producer of this preview tries to convey love. Each baby is a gift to the world and how through them, they can bring love no matter where in the world you live. They use this through endearing moments that these babies go through as they grow up. We laugh with them when we they smile at someone, chuckle when they fight with their brother or sister, smile when they explore new things and environments. We cant help but giggle when they pet an animal for the first time, and our hearts melt when we see a baby's first interaction with her mother. "Everything is lost", I know we all feel like this, everyday stress, fear of the unknown, life and goals we continually try to meet. How many times can a new infant give us hope for a new future and bring us peace in our life. "Babies Are Coming" to change the world, and they are god's gift to us to show us love and take that love to the world.
Choosing babies from four extremely different cultures shows the details of their everyday lives and not just the surface ideas of that culture. Filming how the baby is raised, what the baby is exposed to, and the interaction betweeen mother and child are all very personal parts of raising a baby. Through this film audiences will be able to get a deeper look into these different cultures.
I do agree that this film takes a deeper look into different cultures, but what I think that the trailer shows is not the differences, but the similarities. It shows the babies being born, how they all are cared for by their mother/parents, and it shows them doing cute things. I believe that they showed these clips to make the point that humans have similarities that span cultures. I think that this was evident in order of some of the clips that they played, for example, when they showed the babies with their mothers in China and then a same kind of group but in the USA. I believe that it also makes it easier to relate to other cultures when people from different audiences see other people's children doing the same things that their own children do.
I agree with the last comment. That this is intended to show us that although these babies are from seperate cultures they are very similar. They all laugh, cry, and crawl. The music in the background sets the mood for understanding and interest.
This commercial is targeted to a variety of audiences. Almost everyone can find joy in this movie because many people can relate to different aspects of this movie. The variety in culture also expands the ability for people to relate to it. The commercial alone can bring a smile to someone's face, making them want to see the movie.
This trailor was made for a movie that was clearly made to show different cultures and how each baby is raised differently based on beliefs and customs of the cultures they were born into.It was created in order to be somewhat educational for anyone who watches it. The target audience may be more of an adult audience but anyone might find it interesting or entertaining.
I think that this video was made to illustrate the differences between these four different cultures. However, I also think that, after seeing this movie, it's to show that even with vast differences, babies can still grow up to be healthy, happy babies. This trailer begins with two siblings fighting. The beginning is used to draw in a fast audience. Two small children playing in dirt laughing then they end up fighting draws in a child audience, as well as adults and mostly moms. Some teens might even find this appealing. Babies are often the symbol of innocence even when they are fighting or crying.
I feel that this video is to encourage people to have kids due to the fact that there is a warm song that could make a women feel good and want a baby. It also shows babies getting raised in different parts of the world, showing that they are growing up ok. The way the video is presented makes it seem having babies is not a bad idea. It shows pathos because there is a loving emotion going on in this video.
I think this trailer was to show the differences between the four cultures. I don't, however, think that is trying to promote having babies. I think it was just a creative way to get an inside look at some cultures that we might not be familiar with. Its audience is probably geared toward young women or mothers.
The preview seems to compare and contrast babies lives of different cultures of Africa, America, Asia, and others. It showed daily lives of each baby and how each culture isn't too different from each other. All babies must be cleaned, fed, and played with ect. The point of the clip was to probably bring together all cultures under the common ground of being human and going through the same basic stages of life as a baby.
The main focus of this is the different cultures of babies and the view point from there lives. The music makes it seem as though the storyline will be based on the positive aspects of the life as an infant but is also misleading because in the back of my mind, I feel that there has to be some sort of catch to this movie. One of the most important stages in life is the infant stage where humans learn most of their basic skills of life and I believe the main idea just from the commercial is taking us through the life for which most of us do not remember at all because we were too young.
By choosing babies as the main topic of the movie, like most everyone else said, it chooses an audience of all ages. Everyone can relate to babies because everyone has been one and has been taken care of by their parents and that everyone thinks babies are cute too. Its more geared toward mothers I think because it makes them remember of when they had babies. By picking four widely different place from around the world everyone can relate mostly to one of them but also see how mothers and fathers from across the globe take care of their babies. This strengthens the overall pathos of the movie by emotionally connecting to the audience on a special topic like newborn babies.
It appeals to the pathos of the audiance while they show the African families because they are depicted as being so much more underprivalaged and underdeveloped. But this also only shows what its like in some parts of Africa, Northern Africa is actually much more comparable to the other places in the movie yet they purposely decided to flim that family which gives the impression that all families with babies in Africa live in huts with not much but natural resources.
I have to disagree with sergio18. I don't think the purpose of this movie is to promote people to reproduce, but I do think that this was to compare and contrast the different beliefs and customs amongst different cultures, like many have stated before me. I found it a little difficult to decipher the ethos and pathos in this movie trailer, however. The pathos could be the music that is played throughout the trailer, or it could be what Carlie said above showing the underprivileged people in the underdeveloped countries.
I agree with Jeremy Esmay on the idea that the purpose behind this movie is to show the similarities every culture has with one another. We all start at the same point, as babies, and we are influenced by our culture. I don't think it is spread awareness on "underprivileged" parts of the world at all, and even when we see obvious differences (i.e. a baby taking a bath in an expensive tub versus a baby taking a bath in a bucket) we still see a baby smiling, laughing and bobbing around. It's the similarities that this movie focus's on.
I agree with the statements above. The commercial promotes a message that celebrates our differences and similarities in these cultures. While we may have very different lives, we are all humans and can all relate to how cute babies are or something.
I must first say, that the preview for this movie did it's job well. I have got to see this movie, because the of how the rhetoric of this preview has affected me. My first reaction to the beginning of the preview was related to pathos. I found the babies hilarious and adorable and the display affected me emotionally, because I have younger siblings. The "cute factor" is something that draws the audience to continue watching. Kairos is a huge part of this film. The main idea is to follow four different babies in four different parts of the world simultaneously and compare their up bringing. While it may seem, on the surface that this movie shows how different a baby's life can be throughout the world, I believe the true goal is to display we are the same. All babies laugh, play, cry and love regardless of their kairos.
