\"Truman’s World\" review Introduction
Truman Burbank (Jim ) is the star of the most popular show in the history of television.For 10,909 days, it has been on the air, using 5000 cameras to show every moment in every day of the life of one man.The public loves it -- there are Truman addicts who go to sleep with the TV on and who have sets installed in the bathroom so they don\'t mi anything when they\'re taking a bath.Every individual in \"The Truman Show\" is an actor with one important exception: the lead character himself.For, while everyone around Truman is playing a part, he is cheerfully ignorant about the truth.He thinks this is all real, and his obliviousne to the situation gives the program its core appeal -- that there\'s nothing counterfeit about Truman.One day, however, when a former member of the cast sneaks back onto the set with a warning for the star, Truman begins to suspect that appearances can be deceiving.
(James Berardinelli [OL].The Truman show.Retrieved .14 Mar.2008
) Trumanʹs life in the show can be said happy actually.Though in the show he have setbacks and unfortunate,he also have satisfied and lucky waiting for him after each setbacks and unfortunate.From a certain angle, the show director put he into a relatively pure world.Even if the world is made up of lies.When the lies were exposed,Truman went resolutely.He stept on the way to the real world ladder to become a true man.However,I want to know if he went out and found that the so-called real world was the same or even worse.whether he have powerlene and despair or not.Especially the seconds before it is very exciting.Does he want to go back to the original world? In this movie, Truman’s life was perfectly devised.In order to control him, Christol, the director, arranged so many plots to interfere Truman’s thinking, making him afraid of water by his father’s death, advocating the plane crash and preaching up the living environment of Seahaven.All of these made Truman feel that all these years he spent on this island were so comfort and easy, just as the world should be.However, it was his dream that changed all these beauty.Although he did not talk much about this dream of going out, he never let it go.The dream was just like a seed, taking root in his heart and flourishing into flowers.Finally one day, he wanted to go out, to go after his dream.All the things he was familiar with became his barriers.His life is being planned,including every part of it.But each place designed are reasonable.Maybe we can compare life as a play.Truman had become an involuntary actor to show his gain and lo really in the play.However,everything must be attributed to commercial interest.Although the director developed feelings for him and soulfully call him children with tears,it can not hide the eence which the director want to use the play to earn money and fame.Therefore,the director advised him to continue to stay there and play the show.Literature review
- 2can not bear to face a real \"us\"! Perhaps the director did not think he was indefensible.It seems that he is all about Truman.He created the world that ordinary people dreamed of for Truman.Besides,it saves much trouble and sorrow for him.It remind me of the life we used to track ,our narrative style and thinking path are influenced by something automatically.It could be our culture or eduction.I am not sure.I do not understand when many people struggle joyfully, on which support their value system.So does the formation of the value system.The formation of the value system maybe come from the interest group ,such as the special political benefits and economic benefits.What is the most important I think is to follow the heart not to blind eyes by the interest.Reading, knowledge, and independent thinking is the best way to polish eyes.
One\'s birth and leave is lonely,so we need resonance and communication.We
- 3the I, off the stage, in the audience, sipping tea, take a look at the stage of \"I\" and \"them\", a few drum Under the palm, a few drops of tears flow, understand this, that will insight a.In fact, we not taken the door acro what is the relationship? Because our hearts have been cro-out.Conclusion
We prefer to believe the world is true.But when we are controlled by an unknown person who nearly means the god to you,we do feel entirely lost and lonely.Truman could not bear the truth,so he made up his mind and try to be recalcitrant.He used to afraid of the artificial sea,but he defeat the deepest funk in his heart and escaped.We often say life as play and play as life.There may be more dangerous ,sham and cheat in the life ,but all of this come from nature and society not from the people stared us all the day.We learn from Trueman that we should have a brave heart to pursuit the thing which in our inner heart instead of setting for the surface of our life! No matter what had happened,we also should greet other people and ourself good afternoon,good evening and good night every day like Truman.
