Truman looks like He lives exactly the same life as ordinary people, but he doesn't know that thousands of cameras are watching him every second in his life, and that the whole world is watching him every moment, and he doesn't know that his wife is around him. Everyone, including my friends, is an actor in "The Truman Show."

Although he felt that everyone seemed to pay attention to him, and everything he did from childhood to adulthood had some unexpected dramatic effects, these did not make this simple-minded man The young man cares too much. However, due to a moment of negligence, the production team of the show actually allowed the "father" who "died" because of Truman when he was a child to reappear. The "father" was immediately taken away by the staff until Truman was extremely sad and began to suspect that they weaved the story. A perfect lie allows them to meet "father and son" and achieve their satisfactory results.

At this time, Christopher When he came out, he told Truman the ins and outs of the matter, and told Truman that he was now the most popular star in the world, and what he had achieved today was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Brief review

Black comedy "The Truman Show" "World" shows us how an ordinary little person was made into a famous TV star without his knowledge, but was completely deprived of freedom, privacy and even dignity, and became a victim of the mass entertainment industry. The film reflects the hopes and anxieties of mankind, and has also attracted much attention because it touches on the most sensitive social issues today. It uses a modernist artistic style to profoundly expose the ugly behavior of profit-seeking and human rights abuses in Western business activities, and has a negative impact on the United States. It effectively satirizes the negative side of morality, human feelings and the world.

"The Truman Show" is a unique and creative film, with thought-provoking and touching content, and at the same time, it also has some laugh-out-loud moments. humor. Comedy king Kim Carrey's performance in the film is innocent yet complex.

Wonderful film review

▲Spiritual epiphany

The movie "The Truman Show" is a fictional story, and Truman is the protagonist of this story , he is the protagonist of a long-running TV series, but he does not know his identity as an actor. The director of the TV series is a super genius. He let Truman grow up in front of his camera from birth, but actually kept him in the dark for nearly 30 years. During these years, this live TV program was broadcast 24 hours a day. Rolling broadcast without interruption. This talented director created the entire "The Truman Show". He sent many actors to act as Truman's mother, friends, classmates, colleagues, first love, lost father, wife who lacked the same language... He His studio is a huge space. He lets Truman live in this virtual space every day. Everything is created, including the air, the sea, the city, thunder and rain...

Truman He is an ordinary person, as ordinary as living around us. He has many desires and they are easily satisfied. Therefore, sometimes he is ecstatic, sometimes he is mourning for his heir, and most of the time he is hesitant, depressed and at a loss. At this time, the talented director comes into play again. He constantly creates new excitement, making his long play ups and downs and exciting. He created some trouble for Truman when he was happy, and lost no time in giving him a glimmer of hope when he was depressed. He made the blonde girl suddenly appear in Truman's sight like a romance novel, opening the valve of his love, and then made her leave suddenly, causing her heart to fall into a bottomless abyss; he made the "girlfriend" Truman had never met before. "The late father" suddenly appeared, and the exaggerated and funny recognition scene brought tears to his eyes, and also earned the tears of the TV audience; he also asked Truman's close friends to care for him and enlighten him when he was in a bad mood. , making him feel this "sweet spring in the desert" and regain his confidence, although that friend is just an actor, and he is reciting a lot of lines...

I admire the talented and arrogant person in the movie He is a genius director who makes people think of God. At the same time, when I see the weak, tired and confused Truman being played by hypocrisy again and again, but still full of optimism about life and the future, I feel sad in my heart. I can't bear to face it - I can't bear to face a real "us"!

“Life is like a play, and play is like life,” the philosopher lamented. But do we, the actors on the stage of life, have a sense of acting at all times? Or are you selflessly doing meaningless things under God's deception and arrangement? Happiness is not enough to make us love the world; frustration is not enough to make us abandon the world. God is like that talented director, who has a good command of temperament. He knows when to give us a blow in the head and when to light a warm stove for us. He allows us to maintain hope in pain and in hope. Endure the pain, because pain creates plot twists and ratings, and hope is the appearance fee rewarded to us so that we will not stop performing midway.

At the end of the movie, Truman became enlightened. He faced the camera and really gave up on "God". The talented director panicked. He would lose his audience. He tried his best to retain Truman, telling him that it would be dangerous to leave the world controlled by the director. But Truman still walked out of the door and walked towards the dark unknown world. He said that no matter what was waiting for him in that world, he didn't care. There is a theory of "sudden enlightenment" in Buddhism, and it is said that human nature is self-sufficient and perfect, but it is the dust of the world that covers it and makes it lost. It seems that Truman has had an epiphany and wants to find his lost self, his self-sufficient, free nature.

The "Diamond Sutra" says: "All appearances are false. If you see all appearances that are not appearances, you will see the Tathagata." Sooner or later, the costumes will fade away, and the scenery will have to be removed sooner or later. When acting, Perform a lively performance, but don't forget to indulge in the addiction of watching the theater. Let another "me" - the self, step off the stage at any time, take a sip of tea in the audience, and look at the "me" on the stage. With "them", a few claps and a few tears, once you understand this, you are close to enlightenment. In fact, what does it matter whether we cross that door or not? Because our hearts have stepped out.

Behind the scenes

[Edit this paragraph]

In 1998, Jim starred in the famous director Peter Weir's surreal film "The Truman Show" ("The Truman Show"), this humorous, original and serious film can be described as a change in his acting style.

He doesn't have too many exaggerated performances in the film, and he interprets an ordinary person who has been manipulated and fooled by others all his life. He portrays this almost tragic little character very vividly and convincingly. Jim Carrey, who made his first appearance in a drama, gave a well-behaved, steady and solid performance, bringing comedy to the highest level. People discovered that Jim Carrey was not only funny, he tried to add deeper connotations to his performance, bringing the performance to a higher level. He won this year's Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for this film. In 1999, Jim began a new and different type of comedy performance, starring in "Man on the Moon" ("Man on the Moon"), playing the legendary comedian Andy Kaufman. The film, which is more serious in terms of content and form, was equally well-received and well-received, and once again won the annual American Film Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical.

This seemingly absurd story is actually full of philosophy: people’s voyeuristic psychology has been upgraded and satisfied in modern society with the help of ever-changing technology. For the film's protagonist, Truman (whose name literally means "real person"), life is really a drama, and he is the star of it. With his endearing and upright image and his explosive anger at critical moments, Jim Carrey interprets a typical ordinary person who has been manipulated and fooled by others throughout his life. The supporting characters and extras in the film must perform the duality of a play within a play: they must do so to make Truman (and the TV audience) believe it, while at the same time making Truman (and the movie audience) suspicious. There must be some falsehood in the truth, but it is definitely not the kind of falsehood with poor acting skills, but a kind of falsehood that is too perfect.
