Response to the fifth film

1. In the fifth video the house was used to represent the cave. There were cave-looking men in the video. As far as images and sounds, the music and the some of the dialogue, represented some of the different aspects of Plato’s allegory

2. The creator of this video had the basic concept of Plato’s allegory, but the creator did not use any of Plato’s own specific words. The creator of the video did use similar concepts of Plato’s allegory. The author of the video incorporated the fact that one man escaped, out of two. The supposedly bored man in the video was curious and that relates to the curious man in Plato’s allegory.

3. The video does not directly relate to the allegory; a sufficient amount of ideas were left out of the video that was in the real allegory. The creator could have done a better job of illustrating the “curiosity” of the man

4. The way the creator, of this video, made the characters speaks in was very modern. This was probably because these days you have to impress people and relate to them, so they can understand the type of entertainment.
