In the movie Boiler Room, Giovanni Ribisi€™s character (Seth) is a trainee working at a €œchop shop€€”a shady brokerage firm that sells stock in fake companies. The movie is based on a real company, previously on Long Island. During a sales call to a prospective customer (Harry), Seth uses credibility (ethos), emotional appeals (pathos), and logical arguments (logos)€”but not in a professional, ethical way.
On the DVD, the sales call is at 1:04:28€“1:07:56 (in scene 18). You will also find the clip under €œVideos€ on the author€™s blog (www.bizcominthenews.com).
