Document Summary
Summary: the allegory of the cave is a philosophical conversation between plato and. The conversation is about the nature of reality. Plato uses the analogy of shadows on a cave wall to ask the question of whether the shadows we see accurately represent reality. Don"t you believe the shadows were talking whenever one of the carriers were doing so? i certainly do then the prisoners would in every way believe that the truth is nothing other than the shadows of those artifacts. This is important in understanding lm because you must understand that often times it is unclear to the viewer what they are seeing, unless you clearly illustrate it. Sometimes you may want to leave it vague. Summary: in this reading, sergei eisenstein explains how lm is more than merely the literal translation of what is depicted on screen. The superimposition of two non identical two-dimensionalities gives rise to stereoscopic three- dimensionalities. pg.
