Illusion & the Media

Abstract: A 10 page essay/research paper that offers commentary on modern society, the jumble of images that bombard us daily, and argues that filmmakers are at least one area of the media in which creative people are trying to sort out the jumble and offer some coherent messages. In discussing this theme, the writer analyzes three movies, The Truman Show, Pleasantville and American Beauty, discussing the prevalent themes from each film and how this relates to society in general. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
