Philosophical Allegory of Freedom

Rating: Null/10 (1 November 2003)

A slickly veiled philosophical allegory of Plato's Cave, The Truman Show is a triump of social commentary of 'in the box' living and prophetic warning of the surveillance future into which we are all heading. Yes, for in real life Truman is You, albeit in a sinister vein. The film is a also a good representation of spiritual awakening and the need for constancy and aim in overcoming all troubles to walk the path to freedom, while appreciating the help we receive along the way.
