I believe that the screenwriter of this movie must have had a similar idea to me. The film is about a reality TV show in which Truman, the protagonist, is an abandoned baby who has been kept in the dark. The "real world" he lives in is actually a fake set built by the show's producers. Apart from Truman, all of the other supporting characters - including his wife, friends, parents, etc. are informed actors. Truman, who grew up to 30 years old, slowly felt as if he was being followed, and gradually realized the unreality of the world around him. Finally, in the process of chasing his first love girlfriend, he got out of that false set.
In the film, the director of the reality show once said: "The outside world is a sick world, and Truman's world is perfect." Is that really true? Truman's world is fake, everything is fake, everyone is full of lies. But in such a world, Truman is safe. He has no worries about food and clothing, and he doesn't have to worry about being hit by a car. Everyone is protecting him in disguise, because he is the pillar.
Life itself is a huge conspiracy theory, you can believe it and give it your all, or you can not believe it and just want to escape. Everyone is the protagonist of their own life. The movie tells us that the outside world and Truman's world are full of deceit -- and so is everyone's life. The only truth is ourselves, and we are the true man.
Can the seemingly real life give us a sense of security? In a peaceful world where you can never be hurt, would you be willing to play this play until the day you die? If you found a door to escape from your life, would you go out?
You can go anytime, if you are a little ambitious.
