Through different rhetorical strategies, backdrops, and even weather, film makers and directors can grab the audiences emotions and take them in any way they chose.  They can make the most beautiful buildings look rough and beat down, or make an abandoned house into a beautiful home.  In the movie "Four Brothers", the director chooses Detroit as his crime-ridden and dangerous setting.  The movie shows how four brothers take down Detroit's most dangerous gang leaders to find who set up and killed their mother in a local grocery store.  The first scene shows an innocent elderly woman (the mother) get shot for no reason as she is buying her groceries.  From the start, the director makes the setting an unsafe place.  The movie goes on to follow the brothers as they ignore police orders to investigate themselves.  This adventure highlights many gang, drug dealers, and crooked police officers all in Detroit.  Though one fictional movie cannot change a cities image, this just adds onto peoples negative thoughts about Detroit.  Detroit already has a reputation for being one of the world's most dangerous cities, and this movie displays that.  The problem with using this as evidence to show that the city has gone bad is that it only shows images produced by the director.  He uses empty, vacant streets, frequent gloomy or night skies, and other rugged pictures to give the audience a negative feeling about the setting.  From simply watching this movie, Detroit would not be a city I would want to live in.  Again, the problem with that assumption is that we are not shown all of the city.  There are many great neighborhoods and safe areas where i would have no problem raising a family.  We are only shown selected areas, which may or may not be staged for the plot of the movie.  Directors can do amazing things with their images and effect the audiences emotions in many ways, but what they show does not always reflect reality.
