Open your eyes

After viewing the film "Open your eyes" which by the way was a very interesting movie I began to make connections between that and "Allegory of the cave". In "Allegory of the cave" there are people chained up facing a blank wall and had supposedly lived like that all their lives. When an object passes by the entrance of the cave it projects an image on the wall and these images are the closest those people get to seeing reality. Socrates then mentions what would happen if one of those people gets up and realizes that those images were not part reality and would they come to accept this true about reality or would they go back to the wall and back to what they believed was real. This was in a way perceived in "Open your eyes" because the main character Cesar at one point of of life was living according to false memorys projected before him to satify his needs but then it began to become a nightmarish reality. He then begins to realize that he was not living in a reality that makes sense and chooses to open his eyes literally and live in a true reality rather than images projected to satisy his wants.
