If I were to select the ten films that influenced me the most, "The Truman World" would definitely be elected. It used to make me, who was a child at the time, in a trance for a while. I began to doubt the truth of the world and the meaning of myself, and began to ask myself several times a day, "I? Who? Who?"
(Spoiler for this short paragraph) The story of "The Truman World" is simply a "lucky" one The selected child has become the protagonist of a 24-hour reality show and has become a much-anticipated star. He was trapped in a man-made island. The sky was the studio and the cover. His family and friends were all actors, including his parents and wife. Of course, he didn't know all of this. The audience followed his life in real time through the TV broadcast, grew up with him, laughed together, and wept together until one day Truman discovered all this... It
can be said that the shock this movie brought me was huge, yes An important piece of my teenage map, because it made me realize for the first time that the world could have been a completely different place. From then on, I began to observe everything around me. I observed my parents, my classmates and teachers, to see if their happiness and anger showed signs of performance. I observe all the objects around me, where can I hide a pinhole camera. I feel that every expression I make is captured, and every word I say is recorded. Maybe in another world, there are thousands of people watching my every move. And I am the Truman of my world.
I think about it, day after day. Every time I was in a daze, every time my eyes were dull, for a long time, until someone suddenly walked up to me and pulled me back from fantasy to reality. But what is "reality", is the world around me sure it is real? Who can prove it? What if everyone was telling lies? Truman is sad, and his sadness also made me worry about gains and losses when I was a young boy at the time. Until puberty, more troubles made me have no time to consider this naive assumption.
"Trumen" is a transliterated name. This transliteration is not good because it loses the original charm of English. Why? What if the English name I told you was actually "Trueman"? Yes, real people! I have to say that one of the many comments about this movie impressed me the most: "He is the only fake in this real world, and the only real in this fake world." This sentence is too apt, too right, too shocking! My worldview has since been subverted because of this movie and because of this sentence. I suspect that I am someone like Truman, imprisoned and observed without knowing it. Truman is like this, so when everyone asks themselves, can you completely deny this assumption? Are you sure you are not Truman!
The development of science and technology has made human beings gradually omnipotent. "The World of Truman" is a derivative of entertainment civilization, and it is precisely because of the assistance of powerful technological means that the producers have become the creators of Truman and the "god" who dominates Truman's life. We use technology to explore the limits of the universe, but unknowingly touch the forbidden zone of the gods. And when human desires really devour the self, will the world be destroyed and then reborn like in "EVA"?
In fact, even today I am still making similar conjectures. So maybe I'm looking into your eyes and thinking "Are you a new actor". But of course, I don't know if you are looking at me with the same eyes? We are all children of God, without exception. When you think about it, haha, it's funny!
