Title: Sources/evidence for context piece (Whose reality)
Post by: HossRyams on April 18, 2012, 01:00:55 pm

I just returned from a trip from Japan, hence had absolutely no time to get any holiday homework done. As a result I lack sources for the following prompt:

People’s memories shape their understanding of themselves, their world and others.

The only source I have is the film we studied which is The Blade Runner.
My SAC is this Friday and I was unable to get an extension despite the fact I was away for more than the entire break. :(
Any suggestions of quick novels, films or anything I can watch/read and analyse that would relate to this prompt well?

Thanks heaps :)

Inception, Shutter Island, The Matrix, A Streetcar named Desire.

I think these are very good films for the contect of "Whose Reality?".

Also, The Truman Show and The Player

Reading the Life of Pi is also actually quite useful

Ah a lot of people have suggested The Truman Show so I think I'll go with that.
Do I have to watch it? Or would I be able to look up parts that are related to my prompt?
( We got the prompt beforehand since we rushed through expository writing late last term, as in we learnt it all in a week, so they thought it was fair to give us a heads up )
Would you be able to tell me how it relates to the prompt (A) LOL
