Homework- blog response

Respond to two (2) of the following three question sets to be handed the first day back from Exam Week.  The work is due Tuesday at 12:00.


Christof
We've become tired of watching actors give us phony emotions, bored with pyrotechnics and special effects.
While the world he inhabits is counterfeit, there's nothing fake about Truman himself.  No scripts, no cue cards.  It's not always Shakespeare but it's genuine.

  1. Have we reached this point in our "entertainment experience"; where we are tired of the fake and need the "real"?
  2. With films like Avatar- using completely created characters, 3D animation, CGI, etc.- is there a point where we, like Truman, can no longer believe the created reality?
  3. Is Truman's whole world fake or is it real?  Is What Christof says above true or is he just justifying the world he has created?
