The movie “The Truman Show” is about a man whose entire life is a live 24/7/365 television that people watch daily. He never knew that he is being watched that is because he was led to believe that he is living a completely normal life with normal people when he is not. Truman lives on an Island named Seaheaven where all the people he thinks are real are indeed actors. At the end of it all Truman finally learns the truth about his life and from there he tries to leave the island. He has made a few unsuccessful tries but eventually he finally flees the island to begin his new life, one that does not include Seaheaven. Can Truman actually handle living a normal life after 30 years of being surrounded by untrustworthy actors? We all know Truman does not know exactly what to expect for the simple fact that he does not know anything else, but we do know he wants to expect a world with people are not going to lie and play pretend with him. In one way I believe that Truman will not be able to live a normal life is because to everyone else other than those living on the island look at Truman as a big celebrity. So instead of him exploring the world, doing things he has never done, and living a normal life he is going to get star treatment. Another reason I believe Truman will not like or be able to handle life on the other side of the door is because he probably wont be able to handle the reality of how everyday life goes. Other than the death of his father Truman’s life was pretty much perfect. Christof the creator of the Truman show said:
“Accept the reality of the world in which you are presented”
Only problem is that nothing about Truman’s life is real. I think the one thing Truman will enjoy about the reality is finding the woman he has always loved.

ReplyDeleteI think it will also be hard for Truman to live his life outside of seaheaven because he's going to meet people that he knows absolutely nothing about, but people know everything about him. He's going to be at a great disadvantage in progressing in his new life.
