The Truman Show

The Truman Show

The whole movie is creative and shocking, like a modern utopian fable. After watching the movie, I can't help but think of the classic communication book "Entertainment to Death": the general expression of television is entertainment, and all public discourses are increasingly appearing in entertainment and become a cultural spirit. All cultural materials are willing to become vassals of entertainment, and as a result we become a species that entertains to death. For entertainment and fame and fortune, TV companies can deprive a person of their most basic rights; to satisfy their own voyeurism, the public can treat a living person as a clown, and behave with TV companies. Such a morbid society is suffocating and suffocating. People fear. But in retrospect, aren’t we also all Trumans? Perhaps one day you will find that everyone around you is acting. You are a "cage bird" trapped in the design of others, but the pursuit of freedom is a belief that each of us should not let go of. It is the charm of classic movies that it is the fascination of classic movies to let others do the same.

    Isn't our life under the surveillance of our surroundings, it's just a lack of a studio and a lot of cameras!!

  • Tatum 2022-03-23 09:01:04

    Life is like a play, and play is like life. If you can’t distinguish it, then don’t distinguish it.

The Truman Show quotes

  • [In the control room, Christof grabs a headset and a monitor to see Truman standing in front of the door to the real world]

    Christof: Truman.

    [Truman hears Christof's booming voice coming from the sky]

    Christof: You can speak. I can hear you.

    Truman Burbank: Who are you?

    Christof: I am the creator... of a television show that gives hope and joy and inspiration to millions.

    Truman Burbank: Then who am I?

    Christof: You're the star.

    Truman Burbank: Was nothing real?

    Christof: *You* were real. That's what made you so good to watch.

    [Truman turns back to face the door]

    Christof: Listen to me, Truman. There's no more truth out there than there is in the world I created for you. The same lies. The same deceit. But in my world, you have nothing to fear. I know you better than you know yourself.

    Truman Burbank: [insulted] You never had a camera in my head!

    Christof: You're afraid. That's why you can't leave. It's okay, Truman. I understand. I have been watching you your whole life. I was watching when you were born. I was watching when you took your first step. I watched you on your first day of school.

    [chuckles]

    Christof: The episode where you lost your first tooth.

    [smiles]

    Christof: You can't leave, Truman. You belong here... with me.

    [Truman remains silent, contemplating]

    Christof: Talk to me. Say something.

    [incredulous]

    Christof: Well, say something, goddamn it! You're on television! You're live to the whole world!

    [Truman turns back with a familiar smile]

    Truman Burbank: In case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and good night.

    [false chuckle]

    Truman Burbank: Yeah.

    [Truman takes a bow and then steps through the door to Christof's astonishment]

  • Lauren: [during her forbidden date with Truman, about the show's crew] We have so little time. They're gonna be here any minute.

    Truman: Who are?

    Lauren: They don't want me talking to you.

    Truman: Then don't talk.

    [They share a long, heartfelt kiss]
