These four films/novels show a…

In the movie, The Truman Show, a lot of the main concepts were shown throughout the entire movie. One concept that was shown was the Allegory of the Cave by Plato.

Lastly, the movie talks about the nature of reality on if a person’s reality is true or fake. All these concepts were used to show just how much you can affect a person’s “reality” from birth…

terms I can; they both hosted popular TV shows where they deceived their audience members. That’s not to say they’re both bad people. In fact, one of these men is earnestly trying to help people and make them feel better (the other… is John Edward). Jokes aside, John Edward was the host of a Sci-Fi show called Crossing Over.

However, he instead found a way out of his “staged” life and into a real one. Having a sacramental worldview means you see things as…

he Truman Show suggests that the achievement of a higher level of entertainment requires a disregard for people’s lives. At the start of the film, the director comments, “We have become bored with actors give us phony emotions,” and his comment demonstrates the theme of the audience’s desire for a higher level of entertainment that permeates the film (Weir). Unfortunately for Mr. Burbank, the audience’s desire makes him unknowingly live a fictional life, which provides the viewers with the next…
