Another moment that stood out to me from the film, Philadelphia is when Andrew Beckett and Joe Miller are in Beckett's home trying to go over the questionnaires for the court case. However, Beckett starts to listen to the opera music that is playing and starts to move around the room. When this scene started to play out, I felt a little bit awkward. If I was in Joe Miller's place, I would have been in awe.
The rhetorical appeal that I think is being portrayed is definitely pathos, illustrating many emotions of Beckett's mind. Like in class, I do not remember who it was that mentioned the "5 phases of grief", but I agree with that this scene is where Beckett is going through the depression stage. He is beginning to realize that he will not live for much longer and is very down. By the end of this scene, I was so drawn to Beckett's emotions and I sympathized for him.
