College. I saw The Truman Show starring Jim Carrey who played Truman Burbank. The Truman Show is about a television show that has recorded the life of Truman ever since he was born. The television show is a worldwide phenomenon‚ the only catch is Truman does not know his whole life has been recorded. Every person in his life is an actor‚ and the producer of the show determines the fate of his life‚ from his marriage to Meryl to the faked death of his “father”. The life of Truman Burbank connects to

Professor Ferris Williams Art History 2 December 2013 For my Formal Analysis I decided to choose the painting that Fridah Kahlo did in 1946 entitled “The Little Deer”. When examining this piece of work I see the deer jumping and running through the forest in action. The deer has a female human style face which is somewhat interesting because Kahlo uses the same type face when doing self-portraits of herself. When viewing this piece I see the arrows striking the deer and blood running out and the

Truman Show vs. Logan’s Run In the last two weeks‚ we have watched two movies that are alike and different in some very interesting ways. We first watched the Truman Show and then Logan’s Run and saw two very different views on faith‚ or religion‚ in film. In the Truman Show‚ the main character‚ Truman‚ is adopted at birth by a company that wants to make a documentary of his entire life. Everything that happens to Truman is a result of decisions made by those in the company‚ especially the

The Truman Show and Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” both provide a great example of what humans perceive as truth and reality. They portray the fact that humans assume that wherever they find themselves presently is the real world regardless of their lives only being as it presents to them. The Truman Show introduces the film’s protagonist‚ Truman Burbank‚ as a man trapped in a alternate reality he perceives as his actual reality. The Allegory of the Cave is a symbol for the contrasts between ideas
