False Dilemma If one thing is true, the other is not; you cannot have both, or any other choice. [] [] (only play till 1:00) In the first video, Ben Hurr is presented with an option to either join the Romans, or oppose them on his own and choose the right path. The audience and the characters are led to believe there is no other option. In this case, that Ben must choose to completely oppose the Romans instead of agreeing with only a few of their beliefs. If the Romans were not so stubborn, Ben would have other options, and still could. This gives the audience and the characters a false dilemma. In the second video, various villages and kingdoms are told to join Kuvira, or be “defenseless” (destroyed). Although another option is to fight her army, it seems like her options are the only two available. The audience knows that like in many movies, the hero will rise up and take over the dictator. However, the feeling of only having what seems like two options keeps the audience on their toes. media type="custom" key="28236469" align="center" width="60" height="60"
