Approaches Expectations Assignment.  

This question is from an interesting site called Philosophical Films  that asks a series of questions based on the Truman Show:

During an interview, Christof states the following: "I have given Truman the chance to lead a normal life. The world, the place you live in, is the sick place. Seahaven is the way the world should be." Is Christof correct? What, if any, would be the benefits of living in Seahaven as opposed to the real world?

How About Them Apples? Good Will Hunting and Truman Show are Similar Existential Stories?


Good Will Hunting and The Truman Show are similar Existential Stories? How about dem' apples?

In this essay, the author makes the claim that both of these movies can be compared to the existential realization of existence.   Secondly, like any good conclusion, the author leaves us with a larger question.   The question is about love.  In each of these movies, the protagonist leaves their absolute systems in search of love.   Is this the main goal of self definition?  To find love?   Post your response and cite at least one text or movies that you have watched that strengthens your point.
