All The World 's A Stage And All Men And Women

When people think of theatre they usually think of acting, directing, and maybe script writers. They would correct, all of those disciplines are part of theatre but there's more to theatre than just that; however, due to personal interests those specific disciplines will be exactly what this essay is about. What most people don't think of when they think of theatre is how much thought is put into it. The different type of methods, not just for acting but, for directing, and script writing as well. Everyone has a different method of running a show but this paper will discuss some of the legendary people that have influenced theatre the most.

What is reality? What is known? These questions are constantly being reviewed keeping people anxiously waiting for the real answer. The Matrix is a popular movie dealing with many philosophical ideas from, Gods, Beauty, Reality, and existence. The Matrix deals with an intelligent “computer hacker,” Neo, who questions many things such as reality as he lives two different lives day vs. night. With that being said, Neo starts to ponder how does he know what is real, true, or all knowing. As humans we face this challenge everyday, how do we actually “know?” We know because of our senses, evidence, observations, assumption, and Epistemology.

What is real and what do we really know? These are common questions that everyone asks sometime in their lives. These questions date back since man was made. Nobody knows 100% what happens to us when we die, or what our purpose is in life. Humans have a natural instinct to raise questions to material that we are uncertain of. The movie The Matrix, Descartes First Meditation, and Plato’s The Allegory of the Cave all raise different aspects to questions such as do I exist, what is reality, and how do I know?

“Books and movies, they are not mere entertainment. They sustain me and help me cope with my real life.” a quote by Arlaina Tibensky.

This type of questioning falls under the topic of metaphysics which deals with two broad questions of what is there and what is it like? Philosophers that discuss metaphysics question what we perceive in this world and attempt to clarify the sensations that we feel. Plato a renowned philosopher and student to Socrates had his own theories when it came to metaphysics. Plato believed that the world we perceive is a mere copy of an even greater reality that can only be unlocked by ideas and not material

Movies hold great importance in my life, but not for reasons that one would expect. Back in the fall of 2011, my mom and I reluctantly accepted our new reality, which meant that a house fit for five would only hold two for a large portion of the year. Since both of my siblings were attending college and my father was working countless hours of overtime at General Electric, we found ourselves alone for days at a time. Both of us knew that, eventually, silence's cold hands would take hold of our sanity. The stale air, the slow ticking of the clock, the loneliness- we needed a way to escape it. Movies became our solution.

There have been many films and books in today’s world that are worth seeing and reading more than once. Films and books have been changing the world since the early 1900s. They change the way people think, feel, and see the world. There are many films and books worth the read and the watch; the assassination of JFK, To kill a Mockingbird, and The Bible are three of the most impactful and insightful books/movies, because they bring up powerful meanings that helped the world.

However, it does not take a genius to figure out that these theatres are what put the magic in our eyes and hope in our hearts. They connect with the audience on a universal level and in the end, is that not what theatre is

Since seemingly the dawn of humankind, there has been a question that has prompted many different answers: what is reality? Among these writers were Renè Descartes and George Berkeley, who respectively argued that everything perceived must be real due to God being unable to deceive, and that the physical world only exists in one’s mind. In my view, it is not certain that the physical world is real, but one should act as if it is.

Theatre can be described as an art form to show expression of opinion, empathize a phenomenon, or tell a story through dialogue, song and body language. With multiple aspects contributing to this art, theatre is truly multidimensional. Throughout the semester, I have watched productions to analyze and evaluate aspects in the productions. Within helpful resources and my own techniques, I achieved the course objectives in a successful way. Because of this course, I have truly learned a multitude of aspects that can further enhance my education.

Great films or not so great ones, box office hits or flops, it doesn’t matter motion pictures have changed our lives; it changed the way we perceive our world and others.

Our thoughts, perceptions, feelings, dreams, and even delusions, living and dying; are all involved in this experience we know as realness.
