Chapter 1 Platos Picture Show The Cave image is significant: link between philosophy and the cinema. Like Platos cave the cinema is dark where we are transfixed by mere images that are removed from reality. Watch images that are projected onto a screen.

Truman’s world is somewhat like our own world because of the way things are perceived and approached

After watching the movie Zombieland I noticed that it was a very gory film‚ but I didn’t find it scary just very disgusting. It was interesting to see that only a hand full of humans survived the violence from the zombies. In the movie Columbus struggled to survive because before the zombies took over he was full of anxiety and was very fearful of being around people. He made a list of things on what to do to survive in the world‚ but the zombies overrode everything that was on his list. For example
