  1. Digging up the Truth...in movies, books, pop culture, and the media. By Laura Muller

  2. A Few Good Men “You want the truth? You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!” What do you think he might have meant by this? Are there times when the truth is too hard to handle? • I think he means that the thing he did or the thing that happened to him was too much for them to think about; too gross, too rude to mention, or maybe he just doesn’t want to be caught out. • Sometimes the truth is to hard to handle. Especially if you have lost someone you love, or maybe you just can’t believe that your parents just gave you the present you’ve always wanted!

  3. Liar Liar ‘And the truth shall set you free...’This is actually a quote from the Bible (John 8:32). What are your thoughts about what this might mean, in the film and the Bible? • I believe the truth can set you free in many ways, free of guilt, free of the burden of having to go to court, and not winning the case even though you know that you truthfully should win. • In the Bible I think it means that if you know that what you’re saying is the truth about God/Jesus then you shall go to heaven and you feel all warm and fuzzy inside (in a good way).

  4. Liar Liar In advertising for the film we are told that Carrey has to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth... What difference might it make to you evidence/ information if you did not tell “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth” • The first type of truth is that you say true things. • Next is promising that you will say everything that really happened. • Finally, you promise that every word you say is true (i.e. No adding extra bits!)

  5. Pride and PrejudiceJane Austen “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” What point do you think the writer was really trying to make about this “truth universally acknowledged”? • The real thing known everywhere, what is to be expected etc.

  6. Digging up truth in Media Current Affairs programs, entertainment news programs, and even the nightly news on TV, all depend on the ‘truth’ to keep going. Can you offer your opinion of ‘truth’ as it is seen in such nightly programs? • I think that they just look for stories that touch your hear, or news that makes you roar with rage, so that you keep watching to see what else is what the media pictures as ‘wrong’ with the world or the people in it. • The media often exaggerates what has happened to make it look worse then it really is, or even under exaggerate something more important to cover up.
