REALITY

Have a look at this video....especially fifty seconds in when the phrase "reality is a prison" is displayed. the movie comes out march 2011 and centres around a girl who escapes her reality through her imagination where she lives in a hyperreality. while kind of off-putting at first, i think this movie is a great introduction (while not a television show) towards reality tv, especially in the instance of the reading for november 16th in which it discusses domination. i really think the trailer suggests these girls render a rebellious type of domination by moving outside of a world which has subverted them through a specific power hierarchy. but it makes me wonder if, with a tag line of reality is a prison, if those who enter this hyperreality will never be able to escape this type of power because every world needs a hierarchy so it isn't chaotic.....(similar to the unfortunate lessons learned in Lord of the Flies)..... i don't know....it's the first time i've seen this trailer....so it's just an opinion...comments are appreciated!
