Plato's Cave: The fourth film, an oldie

The Fourth Film:

1. The Images used in the Fourth Film is a man being forced to go to the beginning of the cave and being forced to see the light, the music playing while this is going on is music that is kind of frightful and full of suspense.
2. The film pretty much summarizes all that Plato is saying and making it more modern, showing/saying that the light is hurting the mans eyes and how he sees the reflection on the water, the real image, and then the people in the night sky.
3. I think the fourth film is a cartoon version of what the allegory of the cave is supposed to look like, everything is played out just like it is in the writing itself except the words are more modern so to speak.
4. The film doesn't show the people in shackles down in the cave, it basically just starts with the man being set free from the cave, i guess it's more modern to not show that and kind of shelter the "violence" of this part.
