the truman show

[Chives99]

 Has any one seen this movie? I think its the perfect analogy of platos cave, the way truman discovers his fabricated reality not out of being motivated by pleasure, his drive for truth comes from an inability to stand being false, he couldn't live his fake life when it didnt seem real. I feel people think enlightenment is a state of bliss, its not but its a state of being true.

I feel like i would go mad if i was truman if everything in my town that i was trapped on all started to revolve around me, maybe thats what enlightenment is like going mad for unravelling truth

 

ps i feel its great they called him truman, ie hes becoming 'a true man'

Beautiful movie. It's also about how we are locked-in to play the same ficitonal role on daily-basis, and being afraid of taking risks.

@oMarcos i especially find when christof says "we simply accept the reality that is presented to us" very fitting
