This film is narrated by music and no dialogue with the exception of a few subtitles.The film uses a classroom with a projector as an example of the cave and the students represent the prisoners watching the shadows.One student escapes and discovers the campus and world outside of the classroom. He discovers the sun and wants to go tell the other students. When he goes to tell the students what lies outside the classroom they kill him. This film does not use any of Platos own words. This film gives an interesting modern interpretation of Platos allegory but does not include all of the aspects of the cave. For example there is no fire or representation of fire. I do not think that this really affects the meaning of the allegory. Although it is not exactly like Platos allegory it gives and amusing modern day version of it. This version leaves out alot of detail of the cave but covers the main points such as the esacpee and the reaction of the other prisoners when he returns. The modern meaning of this is that the classroom is a cave. Students are not really learning when they are in a classroom staring at images projected on a white board. Students need to go out and experience life outside the classroom to really live and understand life. The Teacher on the laptop projecting the images onto the board represents the puppeters.
this film was a more entertaining interpretation of Platos allegory. it has no words put its acting speaks for it self. i think this film most relates to the actual writing because all the scenes that were displayed in the writing was esablished in the film. however in this film, the message seems to relay a Friere concept. the film replaces Plato's cave with a classroom and showing how the teacher has the control to manipulate and inject knowledge into the students who are to sit and absorb what they see.
Almost half of you have a zero for the blog on Plato. Good job.
Homework due for Thurs. Nov. 1st: All students should bring in the final version of paper two. Really make your introductions sweet and interesting. Be good to me.
