Philosophy In Film - 047 - The Truman Show

Philosophy In Film - A podcast by Chris McTavish and Alain Beauclair

Categories:

In this landmark episode, we examine Peter Weir's "The Truman Show", finally delving into the topic of utilitarianism, while welcoming our first ever "in-studio" guest.  We discuss the weekly beverage pairing and power through Producer's Notes (9:54), before a quick Synopsis leads us into Philosopher's Corner (30:50) and a round table discussion of the philosophical aspects of the movie.  Its worth noting that Alain's treatment of utilitarianism is suspect at best.
