The Truman Show

"Great, like a hero."

This film tells the story that Truman is the hero of a popular soap opera. Everything around him is fake. His relatives and friends are all actors, but he knows nothing about it. Finally, Truman walked out of this virtual world at all costs.

The world he lives in is the largest studio in the world. Everything about him is arranged. Crying for the first time, walking for the first time, talking for the first time, school, love, marriage and work are all in the spotlight. This is a fictional world specially made for him. Everything is false, but he is real.

"We have always accepted the world presented to us."

The film focuses on four groups of people watching TV, hotel waiters and guests, a bald old man who has been taking a bath in the bathtub, two uncles in the parking lot, and two old ladies who have been holding Jim Carrey pillows. When the program that had been broadcast live for more than 30 years ended because Truman went to freedom, the two uncles just said that they were moved, and then they went to search for other TV programs to watch. There are two ways to make spiritual culture wither: one is to make culture a prison, and the other is to make culture a stage for entertainment to death.

"I want to name this star ... the Truman Star of the big galaxy."

At the end of the film, Truman stood at the exit of the studio. The producer said, "The outside world is more unreal than my fictional world, the same lies and hypocrisy, but in my world, you don't have to be afraid. Come back, I know yourself better than you. "

Is everything you touch real?

"In case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening and good night."
