AL-HIJAB

In class, i got a task which is i need to find some video that similar to the story of plato's myth of the cave. As i wrote in my blog before this, i had found the video AL-HIJAB, the malay movie. AL-HIJAB is about the man who got the offered to be actress in horror movie.But, he doesn't have any feeling and do not believe about the ghost until he can saw it. He tried went to the place that have a ghost according the people said but when he went there, there's nothing he can see. Until one day, he heard about HIJAB which is when it be opened, the man can see the ghost. To open his HIJAB, he needs to see the old lady in the village. He went there and the old lady brought him to one place which is many ghost at there. The old lady ask his permission to opened his HIJAB and he just obey with that. After his HIJAB was opened, he feel hurts in his eyes and then when he opened his eyes he can see the ghost. He was very excited although sometimes the ghost make him shocked. Then, the old lady asked his permission again to close his HIJAB because only the old lady can closed it. But,the man refuse to close it and request the opportunity from the old lady to give him a chance to see the other ghost. The old lady agreed with the request and told him to see her in a few days to close the HIJAB. At the end of the story, when the man could not stand with his eyes that can see the ghost everywhere, he went back to the village and want to see the old lady. When he was arrived at there, he got know that the old lady was died. He was very shocked because the only one who can closed his HIJAB is the old lady. 

The object that symbolizes in this story with the plato's myth are :

  1. The prisioner : The man (RAFAEL)
  2. The chains : HIJAB
  3. The shadows and the images : The ghost that the man can't see
  4. The puppet players : The God
  5. The old man : The old lady
