Philosophical Painting Blog #13

Source

So my semester exam were to find a painting and to connect it to a philosophical idea that i had learned. To be honest here, it was really difficult to find a picture that would work. I then came across to this painting here, by Edwin McCormick, and connected it to the idea of Albert Camus’s Myth of Sisyphus. This painting here shows a guy doing some very heavy duty work. From the look of his eyes, he realizes that this is his life. He looks as if he accepts his job, his fate as a man who works at the job. There are times where life would go the wrong way, such as Sisyphus. But realizing that this is life and to accept it can only make life easier. I believe that we as human being should be able to accept reality. Even if we do not like it, if it is unchangeable, adapt to it or try to adjust it to your liking in a way so that life can be lived in comfort.

The Truman Show and Philosophy Blog #12

The Truman show was rather interesting. The movie started off a bit slow but later draws your attention. The cast of the movie was, in my opinion, perfectly made. What surprised me the most about Truman and Cristof was the symbols that is in their name. Truman or True man  is what society calls a "perfect man". Christof or Christ of is basically the god of the universe Truman lives in. he is the one who pulls the string in Truman's life. Christ is considered a God in the movie. Which made it interesting because we can watch and follow Christof's version of a perfect life. Truman was made to show that if everyone where to live like he did, there would be no worries and distortion in the world. The Truman Show is a perfect movie that shows this.
