lol. Our teacher chose our related material - we did Dolly Magazine of all freaking things - (promoted body image etc., exploiting famous people for money), but we thought about leading a rebellion to do the matrix.

Last year i did the terrorist attacks in America. I showed how the media manipulates us. Which is sort of the same aspect as in the turman show.

Friends! Comrades! Anglo-Irish! I prepose an end to this ignoble drizzle chit-chat and a new dawn, indeed, A RENASSIANCE in Tru-talk.
Allow me to begin,
Peter Weir made the movie...the 3 worlds = Seahaven
Viewer's homes
Omnicam ecosphere
...as Truman finds truth, he is revealed as dark and tragic, sybolised in the IMAGE of his black costume in the final sequence, a contrast to the bright background...

a really good one to do is the television show Frontline, in particular the episode called The Seige. Its good cuz it manipulates the audience like in the Truman Show so you can link it really well.

Related TEXTS for truman

yeah, i found it very difficult to find ORT's on Truman

but I found 2 films that are excellent and relate to Truman

the first is : Pleasantville

the other is : ED TV

the problem is, both these texts are films, and so is Truman. Is it a requirement to have a range of texts for eg: Film, Book, Poem etc etc

????

I maintain that it's contrary to the unit to include quotes from the film. Why would you need quotes to show how image shapes meaning? surely that's contrary TO THE TOPIC
