Can you persuade someone without ever actually proving your point? And where is the line between brilliant communication and manipulation? In this Watch & Talk\, Davie will take us into Thank You for Smoking\, the w ickedly smart\, funny and very dark satire about Nick Naylor\, a charismat ic tobacco lobbyist whose job is essentially to defend the indefensible. N ick doesn't necessarily have better facts than his opponents\, but he unde rstands framing\, language\, audiences and the strange mechanics of persua sion better than almost anyone around him. We'll watch some of the film's sharpest scenes and use them to explore How To Win An Argument\, not in an academic debate\, but in the messy real world. How do skilled persuaders reframe a question they can't answer? Why is understanding your audience s ometimes more important than having another fact? When should you attack a n argument\, and when should you change the battlefield completely? And ca n you recognise when somebody is doing all of this to you? Expect clever a rguments\, questionable ethics\, deep thinking and plenty of laughs as we pull apart the techniques hiding underneath the dialogue. You may not leav e as dangerously persuasive as Nick Naylor\, but you should leave a little better at arguing\, listening\, spotting rhetorical tricks and understand ing how people actually change each other's minds. Let's sit back with goo d friends in comfy chairs\, watch scenes from a one of the smartest and mo st darkly comedic films of the last few decades\, and\, of course\, let's have a deep and fun discussion about our mutual cinematic journey! 如果 赢得争论的关键不在于你有多占理，而在于你能不能掌 控问题本身呢？你能不能在不真正证明自己观点的情况 下照样说服别人？出色的沟通和操控之间，界限到底在 哪儿？在这场“观影聊片”中，Davie会带我们走进《感谢 你抽烟》——一部极度聪明、幽默又暗黑讽刺的经典电 影，主角Nick [...] DTSTAMP:20260814T185013Z LOCATION:China\,\, Shanghai SUMMARY:Watch & Talk: Thank You For Smoking - How To Win An Argument END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
