Is The Truman Show true or not?

This is not true. The world he lives in is a huge studio.

Truman has been the protagonist of soap operas for 30 years since his birth. The seascape town where he lives is actually a huge studio. His relatives and friends and the people he meets every day are professional actors. Every minute of his life is exposed to a hidden camera, which is "The Truman Show".

Millions of viewers around the world are watching his every move, but he doesn't know that he has been being watched. Then after 30 years of absurd life, Truman finally felt that there was something wrong with his life. When he found himself like a butterfly living in a glass jar, he decided to escape from Haijing Town at all costs.

The significance of this film:

The Truman Show shows people how an ordinary nobody was turned into a famous TV star without knowing it, but was completely deprived of freedom, privacy and even dignity, and became a victim of the mass entertainment industry.

This film reflects the hopes and anxieties of human beings, and attracts much attention because it touches on the most sensitive social issues. With modernist artistic style, it profoundly exposed the ugly behavior of mercenary and trampling on human rights in western commercial activities, and strongly mocked the negative side of American morality, human feelings and the world.

The film strongly criticizes the value of "media omnipotence", and implies the "caged bird" type of survival sorrow with a virtual perfect world similar to "Utopia".
