Introduction to The Truman Show:

Omnikon TV production company adopted a baby 30 years ago, and they deliberately trained him to be the protagonist of the world's most popular documentary soap opera "The Truman Show", which made the company a great success. However, only one person knows nothing about all this. He is the only protagonist in the play-Truman.

Truman grew up in a small town called Taoyuan Island (actually a huge studio). He is the agent of an insurance company in this small town. Truman seems to live the same life as ordinary people.

But what he didn't know was that thousands of cameras were pointed at him every second of his life, and the whole world was watching him all the time. Everyone around him, including his wife and friends, was an actor in The Truman Show.

Although I feel that everyone seems to be paying attention to him, and everything I have done since I was a child has some unexpected dramatic effects,

But all this didn't make this simple-minded young man care too much. However, due to negligence, the program production team made the "father" who died as a child appear again, and the "father" was immediately taken away by the staff until Truman was extremely sad and began to doubt. They made up a perfect lie to let them meet each other, thus achieving their satisfactory results.

Many years ago, a young girl, Sylvia, was a loyal audience of The Truman Show and an extra. She was very sympathetic to Truman, and Truman fell in love with her at first sight. She gave Truman some kind hints, but she was forcibly taken off the set. Truman, who recalled Sylvia, began to re-recognize his life.

Gradually, Truman found that in the company where he worked, everyone didn't start real work until he appeared. The same people and cars come and go repeatedly on the road near his home every day. What makes him even more unbelievable is that his wife who claims to be a doctor and works in the hospital every day is not a doctor. Truman began to suspect that the world he lived in, including his wife, friends, father, etc., were deceiving him, and a heartfelt fear arose.

From a painful experience, he decided to escape from the seaview town at all costs to find someone who really loved him in his real life. However, Truman underestimated the power of Christopher, who is the producer, director and producer of this soap opera. Christopher designed almost everything perfectly, keeping Truman steady in the surreal seascape world for nearly 30 years.

After several failed escapes, Truman decided to leave the town by sea, but he desperately found that the big sea and the sky in front of him was also a part of this huge studio. At this time, Christopher told Truman the whole story in the huge control room in the sky.

And tell Truman that he is now the most popular star in the world, and his achievements today are unimaginable to ordinary people. If he wants to stay in the sea view, he can continue to live as a star. Truman was unmoved and resolutely embarked on the road to distant freedom.
