Truman Show (1 Viewer)

[Volley]

Would anyone be able to help me in relation to The Truman Show. I need related material for it, and i am struggling to find any. Would anyone be able to tell me what types of related material i could use...

try having a look through some song lyics or poems and look for imagery. anything that has a lot of metaphors is a safe bet.

some movies you can use include-
pleasantville
edtv
matrix
total recall
etc
you can also use things like travel brochures and cosmetics ads

Teachers are loving pieces relating to sept 11, seems just like yesterday we were all watching the news about that, hmhm nearly been a year
geezzzz

What I don't understand is what the imagery is supposed to be of! Is it supposed to be of just anything? Like, can a travel brochure work? and if so, what is it that i'm supposed to comment on. Same with the song lyrics.

 

[the great one]

it is not about imagery it is how images shape meaning

oooooohhhh! I get it!! if only my teacher would be able to explain it that simply. all she does it talk about Big Brother, and then tells us don't use it.
