Scrub's Synthesis To Oz

Watching the episode of Scrubs, anyone can easily see the relation to the 1939's "the Wizard of Oz." The writers were focusing on three different quests to achieve certain attributes. They are heart, brains, and courage. For heart, the writers of Scrubs place Turk on a quest for an actual human heart in order to participate in a transplant surgery, the counterpart of the movie's Tin-man character. Elliot is struggling to maintain the persona of an all knowing doctor and is challenged to speak in front of a group of experts. She comes to find that she, like the Scarecrow, had the brains, but just needed to tap into the well of knowledge. Finally Carla, the child desiring nurse finds that she cannot stand children, but Dr. Cox tells her that she will have the courage when the time has come. The synthesis of these two works shows the journey many go through to find something they didn't know they had all along.

Allegory of the Cave synthesis

In Plato's "Allegory of the Cave," he makes a point of understanding the perspective of reality. The Matrix shares this theme. Plato wrote "when he came into the light, the brilliance would fill his eyes and he would not be able to see even one of the things now called real?" He argues that man is used to darkness and to see the light of the sun would fill him with a feeling of greatness. The light of the sun is referring to truth. As in the Matrix, the world if the Matrix is a computer system, but the inhabitants of it believe their lives to be true. This is due to their perception.

From both movies, the theme of perception of reality both tie into finding the truth. What humans know goes as far as what they see, which makes them believe that. The Matrix's computer world and the Plato's cave are bridge together and meet at point of true knowledge.
