Response to the fifth film

The fifth film
1.The images are two cavemen-like people and the cave is represented as an actual cave. There are shadows of the animals and there is a small introduction in the beginning.
2.The film doesn’t use Plato’s own words. The film uses the idea of the cave but not any exact phrases.
3.This video is obviously a comical version of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and it is not meant to represent it seriously. The video leaves out how the person who leaves the cave gets inspired and comes back to the cave to tell the people about it. The meaning doesn’t seem as strong because it uses swears and the guy touching a girls boobs, so it does get the basic point across but it is not that meaningful.
