Intonation of "patriotism“ and "unchanging" in their sentences
Hi,
I have listened to a video on YouTube. It is here:
At 1:14, I hear the word "patriotism" within the context: "how it paints this picture of complexity of patriotism between France and Russia evenly".
At 1:24, I hear the word "unchanging" within the context: "the actions that the characters are taking are unchanging".
I think the intonation of the two words "patriotism“ and "unchanging" is very interesting. Can you please tell what the speaker wants to convey by this interesting intonation?
Thank you very much!

The rising tone is a kind of questioning emphasis. Overuse of rising tone is an enormously irritating feature of modern speech. It makes the speaker sound whiny and uncertain, as if constantly seeking reassurance from the listener.
