They took the allegory of the cave and filmed it. ... Why is it a unique interpretation? Aside from no one being chained into an actual cave, that is.

No, I'm not being sarcastic. Have you ever heard of social engineering? Sometimes or should I say many times we do things according to how we are programmed. We believe what we are told to believe. It is by placing everything aside and climbing out of the cave that we start to learn the truth about ourselves and the world around us.

i'm trying to figure out if you're being sarcastic or not?

I turned off the TV, and lowered the volume on the radio, and placed my books on the shelf, and tuned out my friends and the culture around me and stepped outside under a tree. And the birds spoke to me, and trees sang, and the mountains heralded, and all of nature spoke of a world that was created. And in my soul I knew that truth existed. And a ray of truth filled my soul and enlightened my mind. And I was never the same. Great video.

Try not to take this too seriously guys! I think its a good effort, it made me laugh, it bascally sends out the same message of Plato's cave without being 100% literal. because obviously college/uni students arent going to chain people up who were born in a cave then miraculously let one of them escape n see the real world. its a good basic rep of his theory.

This gave me a headache. i have been trying to find out what Plato's theory was in NORMAL english not scientific language because like c'mon who actually talks like tht
