MIMESIS - Trailer
What begins as a horror convention after-party for a group of fans will quickly become a genuine flesh-and-blood nightmare: Trapped inside an isolated farmhouse, they must now survive attacks by hordes of hungry zombies while desperately attempting to escape. But is this gore-soaked siege a twisted prank, an elaborate trap, or has NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD actually come to undead life? Sid Haig (THE DEVIL'S REJECTS) and Courtney Gains (CHILDREN OF THE CORN ) star in this award-winning shocker from co-writer/director Douglas Schulze that walks the razor sharp line between edgy homage and depraved reality... then proceeds to rip its guts out.

What is Mimetic Theory? A Short Basic Introduction
Mimetic theory is a concept developed and advocated for by René Girard, 20th-century French anthropologist. Mimetic theory’s key insight is that human desire is not an autonomous process, but a collective one. We want things because other people want them.

- - - PLATO'S THEORY OF MIMESIS SUMMARY - - -
Plato was a great ancient Greek philosopher. He born around 428 BC in Athens, Greece and died around 348 BC in Athens, Greece. He was a student of Socrates and teacher of
Aristotle. Plato was born into a rich family and he was the Founder of an educational institution named ACADEMY, which was the first institution of higher learning in Western world. Plato was the son of Ariston (his father) and Perictione (his mother). Plato's father, Ariston died in his young age, although the precise dating of his death is difficult. After that her mother Perictione married with her uncle.
Some of his Notable works are - REPUBLIC, SYMPOSIUM, APOLOGY, PHAEDO, ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE, etc.....in which Republic is the most famous.
In his theory of mimesis, Plato says that all art is mimetic by nature and art is an imitation of life. Plato believed that IDEA is the ultimate reality. Art imitates idea so it is imitation of reality. Plato gives a beautiful example of a carpenter and a bed:- So according to Plato when a carpenter gets an idea of making a bed, then only idea is the ultimate reality. And when that same carpenter transforms his idea into physical bed, then the bed becomes the first copy of his idea, and thus it is once removed from the reality. And when artist or painter makes the painting of the same bed which is already made by the carpenter, then the painting becomes the second copy of carpenter's idea and thus it is twice removed from the reality.
So, Plato called the artist an inferior person because he drives us away from the reality. And he doesn't have any knowledge regarding the original idea, and he just copies the thing which is already in existence.
After that Plato compared the poetry with philosophy and said that philosophy is superior than poetry because philosophy deals with ideas whereas poetry deals with illusion and do not teaches us morality.
Plato says that the human soul is divided into three parts :-
1. Rational
2. Spirited
3. Emotional
The rational is the highest part and emotional part is the lowest and because the poets deals with emotions, which is the inferior part of the human soul then the poet is also an inferior being.
Plato’s student, Aristotle, did not agree with the view that the poet is an inferior being. He says that the world of ideals is not a constant one but that it keeps changing. Aristotle says that when a poet writes a poem about a tree, he not only copies it in words but also adds his own imagination to it to give it a better aesthetic representation. The poet takes a form from nature and reshapes it in a different medium. In this way, poetry makes an
improvement upon nature.
Plato said that art is inferior because it do not teaches us morality. On this Aristotle said that the ultimate aim of art is to give us asthetic pleasure and not to teach morality. And when any artist succeeds in pleasing us then he is a good artist and if he fails in doing so, then he is a bad artist. There is no other criteria to judge an artist.
Plato judges poetry from the educational point of view But Aristotle said that we should see poetry from unique standpoint. Aristotle says that everything should be judged in terms of its own aims and objectives, it's own criteria of merit and demerit.
We cannot say that music is bad because it does not paint, or that painting is bad because it does not sing. Similarly, we cannot say that poetry is bad because it does not teach philosophy or ethics. If poetry, philosophy and ethics had identical function, how could they be different subjects? To denounce poetry because it is not philosophy or ideal is clearly absurd.

"This began as a natural phenomenon: animals and humans learn by imitating other members of their groups, but neither humans nor animals are able to differentiate between good, non-acquisitive mimesis (learning skills from others in your group) from bad, acquisitive mimesis (desiringing objects – money, fame, power, someone else’s mate, etc.
Let us say that there is an object, which a person desires. A second persons sees the 1 first persons desire and imitates it. Now the two are in conflict for the object. The conflict escalates when the two subjects begin to model each other in an ever-intensifying desire. This is called “doubling” because the two are mirroring each other until all differentiation between them breaks down. This conflict then escalates until others are drawn into it–for, as Girard puts it, “if two persons are fighting over the same object, then this object seems more valuable to bystanders” (Girard, Evolution and Conversion, 64). Finally, the object disappears, meaning that the participants in the conflict stop caring about the
object itself and are only focused on their antagonism. Eventually, this erupts into a “mimetic crisis,” where the only “effective form of reconciliation–that would stop this crisis, and save the community from total self-destruction–is the convergence of all collective anger and rage towards a random victim, a scapegoat
Lets take a close look at escape gopating
The Scapegoat Mechanism
As rivals become more and more fascinated with each other, friends and colleagues may be mimetically drawn into the conflict as rival coalitions form. What began as a personal battle may escalate into a battle of all against all, threatening the cohesion and peace of an entire community. One way of solving this problem is to find someone to blame for the conflict that all the rival coalitions can unite against. This unfortunate person may or may not be guilty. All that’s required for the scapegoating solution to work is that his guilt is universally agreed upon and that when he is punished or expelled from the community, he will not be able to retaliate. The proof of his guilt is found in the peace that now returns to the community.
Mimetic theory allows us to see that the peace thus produced is violent, comes at the expense of a victim, and is built upon lies about the guilt of the victim and the innocence of the community. This mechanism functioned at the origins of the human species, when this peace appeared as if by magic and was attributed to a visitation from an ambiguous god who came first as the terrible cause of the conflict but then was revealed to be its cure. Prohibitions emerged to forbid the imitative behaviors which lead to conflict, rituals developed that consist of a well-controlled mime of the redemptive violence against a victim (originally human, later animal and so on), and myths were born as the stories that tell of how we became a people as the result of a visitation from the gods. This method of controlling violence with violence can be found in the rites and myths spread all over our planet and gave rise to human culture."

Plato political thought is explained in Republic. Plato banished poets, dramatists and minstrels fr his Ideal State as they were misrepresenters of Truth. Plato also believed Art results in immorality.
