For the flat-earth people, an impervious solid firmament is part of their whole conception. In reality, it is not even an allegory (of what?). It is simply a word they used for what we call the sky.
The flerfs believe that the "firmament" is a dome, and that it's boundaries are the "ice wall" of Antarctica. They believe that beyond the ice wall is an infinite flat plane, and that "the gubbment" is trying to keep them from reaching the ice wall because they will discover that there is more to the world than just what we see. The Truman show is a perfect allegory of this idea, if you don't understand, it isn't my problem.
I get the allegory, but---as I said---the movie would amount to debunkery, not propaganda. And if you don't understand that, it isn't my problem either.
You are ignorant.
Of what? Care to be more communicative than to throw aspersions?
