To understand the moral fabric of the world, it is important to question any information given to an individual, instead of blindly accepting the majority opinion and giving it full credibility and based validity about other people's opinions. Plato's work, The Republic, introduces the allegory of the cave, a metaphorical scenario that attempts to explain the importance of questioning norms that may seem trivial. Plato illustrates a cave where bound prisoners lived their entire lives in isolation, far from the outside world. In their motionless state, they can only look at the wall in front of them, lit by a small fire burning behind them. The wall constantly casts the shadows of people passing outside the cave as they go about their daily lives. The prisoners have never seen anything else and have never experienced the outside world, so they are happy with what they have. Plato, therefore, poses the problem of a prisoner's escape and analyzes and hypothesizes what the initial reaction of the escaped man would be. The first thing the prisoner would experience would be blindness, ironically due to the overwhelming exposure to light while exiting the cave. He will soon begin to realize his ignorance when he sees that the shadows he had seen all his life were actually real people. Plato concludes that his idea of ​​the perfect life inside the cave was ill-conceived and that the prisoner would never have been aware of the outside world if he had not escaped. Similarly, The Truman Show, directed by Peter Weir, follows the life of a man in the utopian town of Seahaven. However, what the protagonist is not aware of is that his entire life has been broadcast worldwide; like… in the middle of the paper… the essence is absent or present.” Since the beginning of human existence, people have always been desperately searching for the truth, how we came into existence, what a person's identity really is, and to find the truth about what perceived reality it actually is. To do this, they must become nonconformists and judge things for themselves outside of the prejudices imposed on them by society. This is exactly what Truman and the escaped prisoners did. They demonstrated Christof's quote, which came across as condescending towards human beings, pointing out their ignorance, reluctance to change, as well as their deeply rooted conformist values. The protagonists of the scenario painted by Plato and Truman Burbank successfully deciphered the distinction between reality and illusion and acquired their individuality by questioning the information they were given with an open mind.
