With The Truman Show, the elastic-faced, loose-limbed dynamo shows he can also be as serious as needed, in the title role of this imaginative tale of an electronic-age guinea pig. Screenwriter Andrew Niccol, whose directing debut, Gattaca, cautioned against the potential tyranny of genetic advances, again finds reasons for paranoia in technological progress, as an innocent named Truman Burbank becomes the unknowing, all-consuming subject of a 24-hour television network. Niccol's unconventional fable is superbly realized by director Peter Weir (Fearless, Dead Poets Society, Witness), who fashions a disorienting visual style to fit the artifice and pent-up anxiety of Truman's world.Niccol and Weir shrewdly immerse the audience in this oddly cheerful environment, without immediate explanations of what's really going on behind its sunny fa‡ade. Truman lives with his wholesome wife Meryl (Laura Linney) in a picture-perfect house in the squeaky-clean island community of Seahaven, where he works for a large insurance firm. His days pass by uneventfully, until a series of incidents shake him out of his complacency: A huge piece of lighting equipment falls out of the sky. A homeless man appears who looks just like Truman's dead father. Strange radio transmissions, like stage directions, come out of his car radio. For the first time, Truman begins to suspect that something is rotten in Seahaven.Nearly halfway through the film, we learn the truth: Since birth, Truman has been watched by a phalanx of hidden cameras, his every waking move transmitted to an increasingly addicted, international television audience. Seahaven is actually the world's largest studio set; the sky, the ocean, the stars and the sunsets are fakes, and the weather is controlled by outside forces. What's more, everyone Truman encounters in his daily routine is an actor-even his wife and his best friend Marlon (Noah Emmerich) are on the payroll. This enormous charade is the handiwork of Christof (Ed Harris), a megalomaniacal conceptual artist who sees nothing wrong with the mass-appeal social experiment he's concocted.Christof has kept Truman from puncturing the boundaries of his world by staging a childhood boating accident in which the boy's father apparently drowned; Truman has been deathly afraid of the water ever since. The other key incident in Truman's life was unplanned-a budding romantic affair with a 'college student' who tried to spill the secret of Seahaven, but was suddenly sent away to the island of Fiji (or so Truman believes).The Truman Show begins just before this fantasy world begins to crumble, following a long and profitable run for Christof and his network backers. Niccol cannily maintains our involvement throughout, first by keeping the action shrouded in mystery, then by giving us a strong rooting interest in Truman's poignant quest for identity and freedom. It's an ideal role for Carrey: Truman's freakish situation offers him several dramatically valid opportunities to cut loose in the patented Carrey fashion, while maintaining the essential humanity of this socially deprived Everyman. In career terms, the part of Truman Burbank is an important turning point for this gifted comedian.The Truman Show strains credibility, however, in its cynical view of a world that embraces what is, after all, a rather cruel and disturbing experiment. Granted, the daily spectacle of audiences cheering brawls and fistfights on 'The Jerry Springer Show' proves we haven't come far from the Roman Coliseum era, and the public's salacious interest in scandals ranging from O.J. to JonBenet Ramsey reveals a whopping insensitivity to personal tragedy. But The Truman Show, despite its attempt to put an upbeat final-act spin on its hero's struggle, takes it as a given that the world would look in on Truman's unwitting imprisonment without much more than a few scattered protests.This one important caveat aside, Weir and Niccol have come up with a bracingly original cinematic experience, an eerie but entertaining vision of one man's struggle against a high-tech Big Brother he doesn't even know exists. Dennis Gassner's hermetically sealed production design and Peter Biziou's resourceful cinematography make a perfect fit with Weir's lively, lyrical directing style. It may be Jim Carrey's show, but he shares the bill with some equally daring high-wire walkers.楚门的世界 The Truman Show 英文影评review by ROGER EBERT2008-03-14 23:12:33 来源：Internet 浏览次数：1277 文字大小：【大】【中】【小】简介：``The Truman Show'' is founded on an enormous secret that all of the studio's advertising has been determined to reveal.

I didn't know the secret when I saw the film, and was able to enjoy the little doubts and wonderings that the filmmakers so carefully planted. If by some good chance you do not know the secret, read no further.Those fortunate audience members (I trust they have all left the room?) will be able to appreciate the meticulous way director Peter Weir and writer Andrew Niccol have constructed a jigsaw plot around their central character, who doesn't suspect that he's living his entire life on live television. Yes, he lives in an improbably ideal world, but I fell for that: I assumed the movie was taking a sitcom view of life, in which neighbors greet each other over white picket fences, and Ozzie and Harriet are real people.Actually, it's Seaside, a planned community on the Gulf Coast near Tampa. Called Seahaven in the movie, it looks like a nice place to live. Certainly Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) doesn't know anything else. You accept the world you're given, the filmmakers suggest; more thoughtful viewers will get the buried message, which is that we accept almost everything in our lives without examining it very closely. When was the last time you reflected on how really odd a tree looks? Truman works as a sales executive at an insurance company, is happily married to Meryl (Laura Linney), and doesn't find it suspicious that she describes household products in the language of TV commercials. He is happy, in a way, but an uneasiness gnaws away at him. Something is missing, and he thinks perhaps he might find it in Fiji, where Lauren (Natascha McElhone), the only woman he really loved, allegedly has moved with her family.Why did she leave so quickly? Perhaps because she was not a safe bet for Truman's world: The actress who played her (named Sylvia) developed real feeling and pity for Truman, and felt he should know the truth about his existence. Meryl, on the other hand, is a reliable pro (which raises the question, unanswered, of their sex life).Truman's world is controlled by a TV producer named Christof (Ed Harris), whose control room is high in the artificial dome that provides the sky and horizon of Seahaven. He discusses his programming on talk shows, anddismisses the protests of those (including Sylvia) who believe Truman is the victim of a cruel deception. Meanwhile, the whole world watches Truman's every move, and some viewers even leave the TV on all night, as he sleeps.The trajectory of the screenplay is more or less inevitable: Truman must gradually realize the truth of his environment, and try to escape from it. It's clever the way he's kept on his island by implanted traumas about travel and water. As the story unfolds, however, we're not simply expected to follow it: We're invited to think about the implications. About a world in which modern communications make celebrity possible, and inhuman.Until fairly recently, the only way you could become really famous was to be royalty, or a writer, actor, preacher or politician--and even then, most people had knowledge of you only through words or printed pictures.Television, with its insatiable hunger for material, has made celebrities into ``content,'' devouring their lives and secrets. If you think ``The Truman Show'' is an exaggeration, reflect that Princess Diana lived under similar conditions from the day she became engaged to Charles.Carrey is a surprisingly good choice to play Truman. We catch glimpses of his manic comic persona, just to make us comfortable with his presence in the character, but this is a well-planned performance; Carrey is on the right note as a guy raised to be liked and likable, who decides his life requires more risk and hardship. Like the angels in ``City of Angels,'' he'd like to take his chances.Ed Harris also finds the right notes as Christof, the TV svengali. He uses the technospeak by which we distance ourselves from the real meanings of our words. (If TV producers ever spoke frankly about what they were really doing, they'd come across like Bulworth.) For Harris, the demands of the show take precedence over any other values, and if you think that's an exaggeration, tell it to the TV news people who broadcast that Los Angeles suicide.I enjoyed ``The Truman Show'' on its levels of comedy and drama; I liked Truman in the same way I liked Forrest Gump--because he was a good man, honest, and easy to sympathize with.But the underlying ideas made the movie more than just entertainment. Like ``Gattaca,'' the previous film written by Niccol, it brings into focus the new values that technology is forcing on humanity.Because we can engineer genetics, because we can telecast real lives--of course we must, right? But are these good things to do? The irony is, the people who will finally answer that question will be the very ones produced by the process.。
the truman show
<the truman show> 观后细节分析10909天，29年多一点，你能想象将近30年的生活，周围的人都是在跟你演戏？我不能，所以第一遍把<the truman show>看下来,我没能看懂剧情是如何发展下去的，我不明白为什么truman对周围的怀疑会越来越强烈。
今天外面大雪纷飞，第二次看完这部电影，发现有很多细节值得玩味。
一开场Truman开车时，收音机里面的播音员就已经在跟truman对话了，但是理所当然的，Truman不会感到这是播音员在跟自己对话。
Meryl每次的出场几乎都带着赞助商，也就是所谓的影片中插播广告，从影片初段Truman在剪草时的a chep's pal，在地下室修理割草机时的elk rotary,到后来两个人对峙,meryl应该想办法帮助truman摆脱困境时，毫无预兆的，兴高采烈的跟处于迷惘状态的truman介绍什么乱七八糟的mococoa。
同时介绍完那些商品，又很不满的指责truman哪里没做好，又该怎么做，根本没体现出来她很受得了这样的truman。
Lauran,就是那个被赶走的演员sylvia，她是在图书馆期末考试前一天晚上出场的，老实好学的truman，通过在舞会上见到的带绿珠子的手链，“偶然”碰到了都不知道自己演的叫lauran的sylvia。
我猜Sylvia是偷偷摸摸没让那导演发现，来到图书馆，想让Truman明白自己被控制了。
她不知道自己在看日文，同时她讲话时都会把眼睛往边上瞧，防止被其他人看到。
她知道摄像机都被秘密安放在哪里，故意绕开摄像头出门。
Truman与Sylvia的对话示好也极其好玩，都被Sylvia拒绝，Truman机灵的借那枚徽章表达自己的尴尬。
从Sylvia 的眼神中，Truman也看到了她其实是对自己有好感的，所以那晚他毅然决然的跟刚认识的Sylvia出去玩，最后还是被导演找到了，于是Sylvia对Truman一连串的实情相告，使得Truman更加时时刻刻的想走出那个seahaven island,他相信有FIJI，相信自己能到那里找到真爱的Sylvia。
楚门的世界(The Trumen Show ) 英文版观后感
The movie is about Truman had been placed in the studio, his growth environment is completely arranged, his every act and every move was being watched. Truman later found out about this, therefore he chose to leave the studio. At the beginning of this movie was so asleep, but the later plots I was moved by this movie. After watching this film, I found it is similar with my life.Since I was child until high school, and I almost liked Truman. The show's director of Truman Show just like God, created a miniature world for Truman. I look back my previous twenty years, almost all arranged by my parents, what clothes I should buy, which school I should attend, what type friends I should make, I think may be in the future I will marry with a man whose I doesn't like. I found I like Truman's life, has been living in the control of others. And ultimately like Truman, I walked out of the parental control. I againsted my parents will, choosing a university far from my hometown. But my life is reality, it has become a possible world that may Truman left that theworld. Long time under the arrangement of my parents, I have lost the independent thinking and judgment ability, so the reality gave me a painful lesson. I noticed that the words in that film director has said: "listen to me, Truman.There's no more truth out there than there is i n the world I created for you. Same lies. The same deceit. But in my world, you have nothing to fear. " At that moment, I seem saw the life I should have. There is no denying that I felt a little regret. May be parent's arrangement is right that I was not supposed to against them. I wanted to go back to the road which should be plain sailing. But at the same time, I am also soberly aware of-- this is life. I walk out of the perfect world, and it is high time to work up the nerve to struggle. I feel suffering and also feel lucky, learned to tumble also learned to climb up. I think that's what the movie wants to say: get out of shackles, brave pursuit.In the movie, this lens appears at least three time: director Christof across the screen touch Truman?The presence of so many times, and its meaning is about the father's love for son. I'm opposed to this opinion, how preposterous that the father put his son's life in public's eyes. "Touch" is more like a kind of appreciation that director to his "masterpiece". The movie, metaphorically, that our society is not too different from the one depicted in it- that we are both the victim and the villain of this perversive and pervasive situation. The director Christof is a villain in this movie, but I more appreciate this sentence: "If he(Truman) more than a vague ambition, if he was determined, to discover the truth,there's no way we could prevent him." That is we should struggle for our life, and fortunately, Truman escaped his control and lived for himself.In the movie, the audience willingly exploits Truman's life for the sake of entertainment and excitement. It's a illness social, they put Truman's life into screen, and deprivation his freedom, privacy, and dignity, but none of guilty. I remember clearly, after Truman escapes the virtual world, the guards said "what else is on?Let's see what else is on..." In their opinions, Truman's life is only a show for their entertainment, in that respect, whether your life legendary or ordinary, needn't to attention others eyes.As the audiences of Truman show, they are Peeping Tom in a way, and it the same as us which in front of the movie screen.In daily life, we often not only just focusing on the surface of things, but also paying more attention to the parties private action, so we have what difference with the audiences in the movies?We are not only concerned about the star's performance in show, but also follow the trend of amplification comment on their appearance in private online. To think about it, although we live in contemporary society, we just like the audiences in the movies, all our happy or angry, sad or joyous are controlled by the director.I dare to say that The Truman Show is the most wonderful film I've been watched. So that every time I watch the blue sky, I would suspect whether it true or not. Reading Hemingway's novel The Old Man and The Sea, I always feel sad that whenever I read the old man takes difficult hardship, last only get a fish skeleton. If I write this novel, I must want to let the old man win glory. Later I found that this was the reason why I couldn't become Hemingway.If the old man really brought the ship of harvest, let everyone sit up and take notice, then this story is only the ordinary comedy story, it can't become a classic, also lost the original shock of spiritual power. Individual is small in front of fate, is fragile. The old man can't avoid aging and death, Truman can't avoid Christof's man-made storm waves, humans also can't hide the fate. However, the big fish is almost only skeleton, the old man still fights with the shark, and Truman almost overturned drowned by the sea, he still refused to return. This is not to break the shackles of fate, but knowing you can't break the shackles of fate, still taking up arms. This is the nobility of the human spirit.Life there are all kinds of frustration and coincidence, there are always behind the stage. I appreciate Truman's optimistic and elegant. " Good morning, and in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening and good night."。
楚门的世界影评
观《The Truman Show》有感《The Truman Show》，以其不可抗拒的吸引力把我带入了它的世界。
这部电影，充斥着太多元素，虚假与真实，美好与残酷，刺激与平淡，荒诞与惊奇。
当我在观看电影的时候，是以欣赏的角度，人在戏外。
但是结束电影，走入真正的生活中，突然发现，其实，人在戏中。
人生如戏，戏如人生。
从组织社会学的角度来看，电影中的桃源作为戏中导演的拍摄基地，其实也是一个压缩后的社会组织基地，这里面有着小人物的悲欢离合，存在着各种人物冲突，而电影中体现的价值观念也是一种非常典型的组织价值问题。
电影中的男主角楚门从一出生，就注定了无法选择自己的命运，就像是一个玩偶一样被“上帝之手”基斯督操纵着，成为他真人纪录片的男主角，巨大商业利益的创造者。
世界上的17亿人见证着他的成长，他生活中的一切都是虚假的。
他的妻子，最好的朋友马克，朝夕相处的同事，每个人都是演员，都围绕着他这个唯一的主角。
不仅如此，就连蓝天，雷电，每天升起的太阳，都是那么不可思议的用一些高新技术手段制造出来的，还有身边的一切事物都是广告产品，都那么商业化，当然，最悲剧的是，他整个人就已经被导演商业化了。
但是，这一切他还没有意识到，直到死而复生的父亲偷偷潜回片场，这个导火索让他的生活起了变化。
他慢慢地发现自己像被人密切关注着，自己的一举一动都被人掌控着，身边的事物和人都是在接连不断的重复，身边的一切故事和情节都是预先设定的。
这让他对自己的生活起疑，他向身边人求证，却得不到任何答案。
当然，他的心中一直有一个目的地，斐济。
这是他的初恋女友施维亚的所在地。
施维亚当初善意的提醒并没有给楚门的世界作出根本改变，但是，却给了楚门一个希望，一个寻找自由的，寻找真实世界的希望。
可是，他最终发现，他终究无法逃离桃源，任何的交通工具对他来说都是行不通的，周围的一切信息都在阻止他离开，更可怕的是，他一直无法战胜自己心灵里的恐惧。
最后，父亲的一场闹剧被导演完美的解决了，当所有人都认为楚门会回归到导演为他安排的生活中时，楚门却悄悄离开了，他想找寻这场闹剧的源头，他想重回自由，他想突破自己，想拥有一个真实的世界。
The Truman Show
Analysis of The Truman Show——Mise-en-scène英美文学与电影2011级英语02班20110914 刘思辰Analysis of The Truman Show——Mise-en-scèneThe Truman show is an American comedy drama film directed by Peter Weir. It deserves great appreciation for its unique approach: switching the images between program of Truman and "real life" of the director and spectators.In the beginning, the hero Truman led what seemed to be a simple life on the island. He knows nothing but that the rest of spectators watch him a 24-hour-day reality programming but something was wrong in his life. He gradually tries his best to get away from the surroundings where are full of strange scenes and events. In the end, he obtains the precious freedom. Anyone can get a kind of inspiration after watching it.Mise-en-scène is what we see in a film. It refers to those elements of a movie scene that are put in position before the filming actually begins and employed in certain ways once it does begin. Mise-en-scène includes everything that is visible onscreen. Next, I will analysis the movie The Truman Show from the point of the Mise-en-scène. The specific expressions are just as follows.Set designSet design is an important part of almost any theatre production, as almost every show will utilize some sort of set, however minimal. Set design can be used to amplify character emotion or the dominant mood, or to establish aspects of the character. The set is, strictly speaking, a constructed setting, often on a studio soundstage and it can combine natural and constructed elements. In each film, the film designer and director have to decide to shoot on the real place or on set. The main distinction between the two is that décor and props must be taken into consideration when shooting on set. Most of the films choose to shoot on set, because it is more cost effective. In the film The Truman Show, it’s a combination of the real place and sets. Sometimes it just uses the real places, sometimes it uses the constructed sets.Example:These scenes are in the last of the film. It is obvious a constructed sets. Along his path to truth and escape, Truman encounters obstacles placed in his way, including choreographed traffic jams, the inability to arrange any trips, sudden breakdowns of transport, a non-existent nuclear meltdown, and an artificially created hurricane on the “ocean”. He finally reaches the edge of the constructed reality and exits via a door in the wall, cheered on by an audience of millions. Christof finally talks to Truman from the clouds. He tries to convince Truman, but Truman choose to escape. When he touches the fake wall, all the audience's emotions are to the climax, this scene is the most exciting moment in the whole movie.LightingOne of the most important dimensions of Mise-en-scène is lighting, which not only allows an audience to observe a film’s action and understand the setting in which the action takes place but also draws attention to the props, costumes, and actors in the Mise-en-scène. The intensity, direction, and quality of lighting have a profound effect on the way an image is perceived. Light affects the way colors are rendered, both in terms of hue and depth, and can focus attention on particular elements of the composition.Example:In the film, sometimes it using the natural light to create a sense of authenticity. In this scene, Truman and his best friend look at the beautiful sunset. Truman tells his friend that he wants to live for a while. The natural light make us feel the mood of Truman, it’s very calm. The natural light help amplify character emotion and the dominant mood.Example:In this scene, it relies on the three-point lighting style. In order to model Truman’s face with a sense of depth, light from three directions is used, as in the diagram blow.A backlight picks out the subject from its background, a bright key light highlights the object and a fill light from the opposite side ensures that the key light casts only faint shadows. Truman fell in love with Lauren when he first saw her. When he is missing her, he see her in the library. At that time, in order to model Truman’s face with a sense of depth, it uses the three-point light. The main character Truman is rendered glamorous by the balanced lighting.SpaceSpace is also very important for a film. The representation of space affects the reading of a film. Depth, proximity, size and proportions of the places and objects in a film can be manipulated through camera placement and lenses, lighting, decor, effectively determining mood or relationships between elements in the story world. Frontality is a common method. Frontality refers to the staging of elements, often human figures, so that they face the camera square-on. This arrangement is an alternative to oblique staging. Frontal staging is usually avoided by the invisible style of continuity editing, since it supposedly breaks the spectator's illusion of peeking into a separate world, by having characters look directly into the camera as if they were aware of the viewers' presence. Some films may go even further and have the characters speak to the camera, in what is called a direct address. Accordingly, frontality is often used in films that are more willing to play with, or openly defy, the distance between the screen and the spectator.At the beginning of the film, the main character Truman speak directly to the camera. This scene is very interesting. We know Truman is living in a constructed reality television show, broadcast 24-hours-a-day to billions of people across the globe. The enclosed studio allowed the producers, directors and crew to control every aspect of Truman's environment, including the weather. But Truman has no idea about that. This scene let Truman look directly into the camera as if he were aware of the viewer’s presence. So it’s very interesting.CostumesCostumes are the clothing that the characters dressed. Costumes in narrative cinema is used to define the character, or advertise particular fashions, or to make clear distinctions between characters and contribute to the visual impression and design of the film overall. We know that the students wear uniforms, the doctors wear white gown, but actually, it’s far more than that. how actors are costumed and made up can play a central part in a film, describing tensions and changes in the character and the story.Example:In this film, the main character Truman wear the same clothes in most of the times, he seldom change his clothes. We all know that Truman was watched 24-hour-day by the rest of spectators, it’s a reality programming. His entire life was not real, including his parents, best friend and even his wife. Every day he met the same people, he goes to same place to work, everything is just like yesterday. Because the other people are all actors, the other things are all not real. The same suit reveal that the character living in a specific place, it contributes a lot to the theme.Example:This scene is in the last part of the film. In this scene, Truman wears a coat and a sailor hat, he looks very handsome. We can feel he is very happy at that moment, because it has a big smile in his face. Although he lives in a small town, he loves adventure. His heart was full of questions and passions to this world, which force him to go outside the Seaheaven to find his true love and even his real life. The costumes here draw out or point to important parts of Truman’s personality. It helps us to what the true man is like.ActingThe actors are at the center of the Mise-en-scène. Performance describes the actor’s use of language, physical expression, and gesture to bring a character to life and to communicate important dimensions of that character to the audiences.Because the characters help us see and understand the actions and world of a film, the success or failure of many films depends upon an actor’s performance.Film actors have to learn to get used to and be comfortable with a camera being in front of them.Film actors need to learn to find and stay on their "mark." This is a position on the floor marked with tape. This position is where the lights and camera focus are optimized. Film actors also need to learn how to prepare well and perform well on screen tests. Screen tests are a filmed audition of part of the script.Example:When Truman was young, he dreamt to be an explorer, but was told the world had nothing to explore. He dreamt to leave the island, but indirectly resulted his father’“death”.But one day, he found his father who had died because of him appeared at the gate of his company. In order to dispel his doubts, the director arrange his father to reunite with him. We can feel the character’ strong emotion, he hugs his father tightly with tears in his eyes. Because the actor has the superb acting, and it makes this scene was so touching.Example:Christof is the supporting character of this film. He plays secondary character in the film, he plays a very important role in this whole film. At the end of the film, Truman is awake, and he told the camera, really the “God” strike played out. But Christof told him that leaving the control of the world is very dangerous. Because of him, the plot of this film is very smooth. He was awarded as the Best Supporting Actor of Golden Globes in 1999.After I have watched the movies, sometimes I wonder if I also live in that fake world, am I the real leading role of my Truman Show? I don’t know. If I live in this situation, I will be angry and want to escape from this huge prison. I will feel disrespe ct and boring because in my mind no one has the right to arrange my life. No one can control it including me. My life is supposed to be an adventure. Nobody knows what i s going to happen. If it is like a soap opera as Trumann’s, it will be meaningless. Nobo dy wants to be a victim of media. But I have to admit, media is powerful, we can’t liv e without it and we have to suffer from it, especially stars.In my view, the Truman show is a profound film. After watching the film, I was always feeling that maybe where the camera would monitor me. In fact, I am more luck. Otherwise, I would found uneasy if I lost freedom and private space. As we know, everyone is born to be free and equal. Truman’s losing was too much-losing freedom, truth of the real life. I will enjoy my free life every day, every minute. Of course, I should have a positive attitude in face for hamper.We may live in a perfect planned life or face with choices. So I think the figure of Truman can be a lighthouse in life which guides us out of trouble and to a bright future. The word Truman said: “In case I don’t see you, good afternoon, good evening and good night.” I think that should be a life gospel and everyone needs that.。
The Trueman Show
宁波大学答题纸（20 11 —20 12 学年第 1 学期）课号：064J09AGY 课程名称：欧洲文化入门改卷教师：学号：096010400 姓名：沈锦阳得分：隐喻色彩和象征意味--------《楚门的世界》与古希腊的寓言《楚门的世界》讲了天才导演基斯督创造的一个叫海景镇的地方，整个镇子就是一个巨大的摄影棚，所有建筑都是布景，生活在镇上的人都是职业演员，除了楚门。
楚门从出生的那天就被挑选为一部电视的男主角，这部电影沿着楚门成长的轨迹展开，一切都是所谓的现场直播，这当然引起全球观众的巨大兴趣，所有人都守在电视机旁，为楚门的欢乐而欢乐，为他的悲伤而悲伤。
在一次偶然的机会，楚门发现了自己生活里的一切都是安排好的，他开始怀疑，并通过一系列的行动来探求，终于知道自己生活在一部戏里，他不甘心，要逃离这世界，在经历了极度的危机之后，他傲然离开了这个号称没有危险而充满爱心的世界。
影片带有强烈的隐喻色彩和象征意味。
我们很容易就想起古希腊著名的悲剧《俄底浦斯王》。
神谕说：“国王的儿子将要杀父娶母。
”所以孩子一出生就被扔到山上，但被救活，并长大了。
一次，他失手打死一个老人，这正是他的生父。
后来，他来到忒拜，为当地人除去人面狮身怪兽，被拥戴为忒拜王，并娶了前王的妻子——正是他的生母。
注定的命运还是实现了。
影片中楚门就是现代的俄底浦斯，而那个电视制作群体就像是太阳神的预言或者说命运，他们时刻掌握了事情发展的主动权：他们觉得楚门该谈恋爱了，于是便安排一个漂亮的姑娘，美露，进入楚门的生活；他们不想让楚门离开海景镇，便安排他的“父亲”淹死在海里，让楚门从此对海感到深深的恐惧。
总之，无论楚门怎样努力，实际上都是处于电视制作群体的安排之中，在楚门发现并怀疑这一切的时候，他还是无法摆脱这种安排，因为对于制作群体来说，楚门太势单力薄了，正如人在命运面前也显得脆弱和无助一样，与命运的抗争注定是充满了悲剧意味的，也正因为如此，全世界的观众都在楚门与“大海”搏斗过程中屏住了呼吸，翘首以盼，也许和命运的抗争永远是以失败告终，每个人都难逃死亡这一终极命运，但这种抗争正是人这所以为人的价值的体现。

I had heard a little bit about it before watching, but I didn't fully understand the crazy premise until experiencing it myself. The main character, Truman Burbank, has lived his entire life on an enormous TV set without realizing that his whole world and everyone around him are completely fake!From the very beginning, we see Truman going about his daily routine in the cheerful, picturesque town of Seahaven. Everything seems perfectly normal at first. Truman has a nice house, a good job at an insurance company, and a loving wife named Meryl. But then some really weird things start happening that make you go "Huh??"Like when Truman tries to leave Seahaven on a ferry, and his vehicle suddenly gets bombarded by special effects like fire, wind, and objects falling from the sky to block his path. Or the time when a backdrop falls from the sky right in front of Truman,revealing a tiny glimpse of the enormous studio surrounding his town. So bizarre!My favorite parts were watching Truman slowly start to notice and question all the strange coincidences and setups in his life. Like how a light object "falls" in the same pattern every single morning to hit him on the head as he's leaving for work. Or how there's constantly bright lighting like at a studio following him wherever he goes.It was hilarious yet disturbing watching Truman's friends and wife having to follow tight scripting and camera cues in order to convince Truman his life is authentic. Meryl, his on-screen wife, has to act giddy and overjoyed at all times so Truman won't suspect she's just a paid actor. There's even a scene where Truman gets frustrated that Meryl has memorized the floor plan of their home down to the foot!I felt really bad for Truman because even though he's living in a beautiful place and seems happy on the surface, you can tell he feels trapped and like something isn't quite right about his world. He has hardly any privacy since he's being watched by cameras and crew 24/7. I was cheering for him the whole time to finally escape and discover the shocking truth about his reality being one enormously scripted set.The creator of the Truman Show, Christof, was such an unsettling villain because he justified exploiting and deceiving Truman for decades as an art form and for entertainment value. He constantly gives fake scenarios to Truman, like killing off his father in a made-up storm, or hiring an actress to play his wife. Christof thinks of Truman as his personal puppet who has no right to the truth.I was riveted during the tense climax when Truman starts piecing everything together and makes a daring attempt to sail out of Seahaven and into the real world. The special effects were mind-blowing, like when the crew has to create a massive artificial storm to once again try blocking Truman's escape. You're just waiting for the moment when Truman finally breaks free from the giant dome covering his world.When Truman does finally step through the exit door into the real world outside the studio, it was such a powerful and liberating scene. I loved his defiant speech calling out Christof and the show for robbing him of human rights and a genuine life experience. At the end when Truman waves to the audiences who've been watching his life as entertainment, I felt amazed that he faced so much courage to embrace reality, no matter how unpleasant.The Truman Show raised so many fascinating questions for me about what's real versus fake, the ethics of television/media exploitation, and the universal human need for truth. Even though the premise is totally out there and extreme, a lot of the ideas resonated with me about feeling pressured to behave certain ways or not being offered real choice in life. I'm still pondering so much of it!This movie was honestly mind-bending, hilarious, and just brilliant storytelling in my opinion. The message of gainingself-awareness, breaking free from deception, and seeking an authentic life really struck a chord with me. Even the supporting characters were masterfully crafted, like Truman's only true friend who tries dropping him hints about his reality.I'd highly recommend The Truman Show to anyone who wants to be totally absorbed in a creative, well-acted film that makes you think deeply about the human condition. Just watching Truman make the empowering choice to accept reality was so gratifying and unforgettable. What an intricate, poignant movie! I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This is definitely going to be one I'll need to watch again to fully grasp all the thought-provoking layers.篇3The Truman Show - A Movie That Made Me ThinkHave you ever felt like everyone was watching you? Like you were living in a big reality show? That's how I felt after watching The Truman Show! It's a crazy movie about a guy named Truman Burbank whose entire life is actually a giant TV show that millions of people watch every day without him knowing it.Truman was adopted at birth by a television company. They used cutting-edge technology to build an entire fake town called Seahaven just for him to live in. Every person in Seahaven is an actor, even Truman's wife and best friend! There are hidden cameras everywhere recording his every move 24/7. The set has a huge dome over it with a painted sky and artificial lighting to simulate day and night. It's all totally fake except for Truman himself.From the very beginning of his life, Truman's world has been controlled and scripted. As a baby, they hired an actress to play his mother. As he got older, they hired more actors to play people in his life like neighbors, teachers and co-workers. Truman has no idea that none of it is real. He thinks Seahaven is just a normal, ordinary town.Watching the movie, I felt bad for Truman. His whole life was a lie! He never got to make篇4The Truman Show - A Movie About a Guy Whose Life Was a Big TV Show!Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your whole life was just one big TV show and you didn't even know it? That's exactly what happened to Truman Burbank in the movie "The Truman Show"! Let me tell you all about this crazy movie.Truman was adopted as a baby by a TV studio. They built this huge dome set that looked like a regular town called Seahaven. Everyone who lived there, except for Truman, was an actor getting paid to be on the show about Truman's life 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Can you imagine having cameras following you around everywhere you went - even the bathroom?! So strange!As Truman grew up, weird things kept happening that made him wonder if something was off about his world. Like one time, a light came loose from the sky and fell right in front of him. Another time, he was reading a magazine with a picture from the set on the cover! But whenever he asked questions, the actors brushed it off like nothing weird was going on.My favorite part was when Truman tried to get out of Seahaven by taking a boat and sailing past the horizon. But the studio had created a special effect of dark clouds and high waves that made it too dangerous to leave. So he had to turn back! It made me so mad that they wouldn't let him go explore the real world.Truman's wife was also an actress, but she ended up feeling sorry for him being trapped. She tried to tell him the truth that his life was just a TV show, but the studio kicked her off before she could explain everything. That's when Truman really started to catch on that something bizarre was happening.Finally, after noticing too many strange things, Truman was determined to escape the fake town and studio set. Even when the crew created a crazy storm to try and stop him from leaving, he still made it all the way to the exit door and was able to step out into the real world for the first time ever! I was so happy for him.By the end, Truman was free from the fake life he had been trapped in. I felt so bad that he had been lied to his entire life just so people could watch him on TV. It made me appreciate being able to go outside and travel to real places instead of being stuck inside a studio set.This movie really makes you think about how much of our lives is maybe an act or a performance, and what is truly real versus fake. It's pretty deep for a kids' movie! I liked that it had funny moments but also made you feel sad for Truman too. I definitely recommend watching "The Truman Show" if you want to see a wild and creative movie.Overall, I give this movie 5 out of 5 stars! It was so imaginative and kept me wondering what would happen next the whole time. Plus Jim Carrey was hilarious as Truman. What did you think of the movie? Let me know if my review makes you want to watch it or not!篇5The Truman Show - A Movie ReviewWow, what a movie! The Truman Show was so interesting and made me think a lot. It's about this guy named Truman Burbank who has no idea that his whole life is actually a huge TV show that millions of people watch every day. Crazy, right?Truman was born and raised on this totally fake set made to look like a normal town called Seahaven. Everything and everyone around him is actually an actor or staff memberworking on the show. Even his wife and best friend are actors! The only person who doesn't know it's all fake is Truman himself.From the time he was a tiny baby, every single moment of Truman's life has been broadcasted live to viewers across the world. There are thousands of hidden cameras all over Seahaven recording everything he does - when he eats, sleeps, goes to work, you name it. People tune in 24/7 to watch the Show and see what Truman does next.The creator of the show is this crazy television guy named Christof. He basically controls and directs every aspect of Truman's artificial world from a huge studio command room. If the script calls for a storm or someone new to arrive in town, Christof makes it happen with tricks and paid actors. He's like a controlling movie director except Truman's whole life is the movie!At first, I thought the whole premise was really messed up. Like, how could they do that to Truman without him knowing?? It's such an invasion of his privacy and super unethical. Watching someone's intimate life for entertainment just feels weird and wrong to me.But as the movie goes on, you start to see how tragically lonely and unfulfilled Truman feels in his little fake bubble world.No matter what he does or who he's with, he can't shake the feeling that something is majorly off in his life. He's stuck in a constant cycle feeling depressed and discontent without knowing why.Even though he appears to have the perfect family, great job, lovely home, and sunny utopia to live in, Truman is deeply unsatisfied. All the money, blue skies, and manufactured happiness in the world can't fill the empty void he feels. I felt so sad watching him struggle to find purpose and meaning in his meaningless fake existence. Trapped in a phony world without any awareness or control over it.That's when I realized this show, as unethical as it seems, might actually be giving Truman more than it's taking away. By watching him, the viewers get to analysis and think critically about what it really means to be free, to have knowledge of the truth, and find genuine happiness and purpose. Weighty philosophical stuff that kids like me don't usually ponder.When Truman finally starts catching on that everything is a sham, the intensity and suspense of the movie gone through the roof! I was on the edge of my seat watching him piece together clue after clue that his world is not what it seems. He gets soclose to breaking free and escaping to a real life so many times, but Christof always finds an insane way to pull him back in.The huge sailing scene at the end was so epic and cinematic. Truman finally takes his freedom after living a lie for three decades. Sailing away across that painted sea backdrop was such a symbolic and beautiful moment. I had goosebumps watching him trade an artificial reality for the scary-yet-liberating truth of the real world. Even though he lost everything he ever knew, at least now he was free.After watching all of Truman's struggles, I realized how important and precious the basic human rights of truth, free will and spiritual freedom really are. He was denied all of those and it nearly destroyed his soul. We're supposed to be able to think for ourselves, ask questions, and live an authentic life without deception.At the same time, I see why Christof did what he did. He gave Truman a utopian life free of poverty, crime, suffering and ugliness. A perfectly groomed childhood and overly positive world. In Christof's eyes, he was protecting Truman from harsh realities and human flaws. He wanted to prove that he could create a real heaven on earth by controlling every single element of it.So in the end, The Truman Show makes you think hard about important stuff like what's more valuable - the ugly truth or a pretty lie? Security or freedom? A phony existence created for you or a real life you have to make on your own? Heavy stuff for sure, but that's what's so awesome about this brilliant movie. It makes you question and think critically in a way most TV shows and movies don't.I'd totally recommend The Truman Show to anyone who wants to watch an original, suspenseful, mind-bending movie. Just get ready to get your brain tied in knots while you ponder all the deep philosophical questions it brings up! Even though I'm just a kid, this movie made me feel like a little philosopher trying to figure out what's real and what's fake. I'll never watch TV shows or movies the same way again, that's for sure!篇6The Truman ShowI recently watched a movie called "The Truman Show" and it was super duper cool! The story was about a guy named Truman who lived in a town called Seahaven. But guess what? Seahaven wasn't a real town at all! It was all part of a big TV show and Truman was the star!Truman had no idea that his whole life was being filmed and broadcasted to the whole world. Can you imagine that? Every single thing he did, from eating breakfast to going to work, was all watched by millions of people. It was like he was living in a giant fishbowl!Truman started to feel something was not quite right. He noticed strange things happening around him. Like when a light fell from the sky, or when his wife always seemed to know what he was going to say. He started to question everything and wanted to find out the truth.Truman was a brave and curious guy. He decided to go on an adventure to discover what was really going on in his life. He faced many challenges and obstacles along the way, but he never gave up. I think that's a really important lesson from the movie – to always follow your heart and never stop searching for the truth.One of my favorite parts of the movie was when Truman sailed away on a boat to escape Seahaven. The whole world was watching and cheering for him. It was so exciting! Truman showed us that it's okay to be different and to break free from what everyone expects of you. He taught us to be brave and to believe in ourselves."The Truman Show" made me think a lot about reality and what is truly important in life. Sometimes we get so caught up in our routines and what others expect from us that we forget to live our own lives. Truman reminded me to be true to myself and to follow my dreams, no matter what.The movie also made me realize the power of television and media. It showed how people can be manipulated and controlled by what they see on the screen. It's important to think critically and not just believe everything we see or hear.In conclusion, "The Truman Show" is an amazing movie that teaches us about courage, truth, and the importance of living our own lives. Truman's journey was inspiring and it made me think about my own life too. I would definitely recommend this movie to everyone, no matter how old you are. It's a movie that will make you laugh, cry, and think. So go grab some popcorn and enjoy "The Truman Show"!。
观the Truman Show有感
观the Truman Show有感有这样一个宝贵的机会观看如此有意义的电影，真的让我获益匪浅。
看完之后，首先不禁为这精妙的设计拍案叫绝，然而其中反映的深刻内涵更值得我们去思索和回味。
从最开始由情节产生的激动，感动，同情，欣慰，到细细品味后我对道德、法律、科技、人生等的思索，为我三观的塑造又增添一砖一瓦。
思考给人的财富无穷无尽。
电影主要讲述了一个以娱乐为目的而设计的人生——Truman活在虚假的，由各路演员扮演不同角色的世界中，三十余年一无所知。
直到偶然机会发现猫腻，经过努力克服心理障碍最终回到现实的故事。
故事的背景设置在未来，所以目前没有与之对应的法律，而故事以目前科技的发展和趋势未来是完全可以实现的，那么对其的讨论或有现实意义。
首先从目的看，以娱乐为目的而设计他人的人生不符合道德。
道德释义为人们共同生活及其行为的准则和规范。
核心应为对他人的尊重，若以他人苦乐得失为娱乐，窥视、干涉甚至控制他人私生活，可以说明显侵犯他人权利，不仅违背道德，以今日法律观来看亦不合理。
可是不妨推理下去，如果目的是高大上的，甚至从道德来讲是合理的，我们有权在对方不知情、未同意的情况下窥视、干涉、控制其生活么？不妨做个假设，以科研、医疗的目的和形式做同样的事，假设结果会大大促进医学、科研的进步，很大程度上造福人类，又该如何抉择？或者就像电影中设计师所说，虚拟世界未必比现实差，或许不知道会更幸福，而接受现实会带来苦难，比如《黑客帝国》，不是所有人愿意放弃所谓虚拟而追求残酷现实。
那么这样的“利他”又“利己”的行为，难道不符合道德吗？但是，如果有法律出台的话，我相信这是会被禁止的，即使它符合道德。
道德和法律有其相通之处，但也有无法调和的矛盾。
举一个外国部分国家废除死刑的例子。
道德上讲杀人偿命天经地义，我也曾对此深信不疑，但是如果换一个思路，或许有新的思路和认识。
当然，我国对死刑的态度由当今国情决定，我相信其合理性。
但外国废除死刑的一个理由确实让我印象深刻。
The film review of The Truman Show(楚门的世界英语影评)
Who is Truman?
• Truman is a true man! But he has lived in an untrue world for about 10,000 days. He is the only true part of his own teleplay, everyone, including his best friend, his wife, his workmate, his manager, his neighbor, is one of the performers of the Truman show. But in order to keep the teleplay really true to the audience, his father is Truman’s true father who “died” when Truman was a young kid.
←A trip to the Mount Rushmore, what a mini-president statuary /ˈstætʃu:ˌeri:/ and a tiny hill!
↑All the cars suddenly appeared to stop Truman from leaving the “Sea haven town”.
EVERYTHING is not true. Truman’s wife, friends, costumers, neighbors, workmates, teachers, are play a simple and untrue part in Truman’s life. The truth is TERRIFIED
The Truman Show
thetrumanshow观后感
thetrumanshow观后感《真人秀》观后感电影《真人秀》是一部由彼得·威尔切执导、吉姆·卡里、劳拉·琳妮主演的科幻剧情片。
故事围绕着一位名叫特鲁曼的男子展开，他生活在一个巨大的电视舞台上，自出生以来就被摄像机无时无刻地记录。
整个电影以特鲁曼试图摆脱这个剧本安排的现实，揭示了娱乐和隐私、自由和控制之间的复杂关系。
观看完这部电影，我对人的自由意志、媒体舆论对个人影响有了更深刻的认识。
首先，电影中特鲁曼的角色给我留下了深刻的印象。
虽然特鲁曼被安排在一个人为控制的世界中，但他的内心却渴望自由和真实。
尽管他一直被观众和电视节目主持人视为娱乐工具，但他有勇气去探索和追求真相。
特鲁曼敢于面对自己的内心，在剧本给定的范围内尽可能地挣脱控制。
他的毅力和不屈不挠的精神使他成为了一个旗帜鲜明的英雄形象，激励着观众自我的追求和勇气。
其次，电影中展现的电视节目制作和大众娱乐业的黑暗面也给我留下了深刻的印象。
电影通过特鲁曼的视角展示了他在整个生活中被观众、剧组和主持人操控的情景。
这种集体意志压制个体意志的现象不仅存在于电影中，也反映了现实社会中媒体对个人生活的干预。
电视节目的制作和娱乐业通过操纵信息和情节来控制观众的思想和行为。
观众习惯了被操纵，渐渐地失去了对真相的追求。
电影给人们敲响了警钟，提醒我们要保持警惕，主动思考，不被主流媒体的舆论引导。
电影中另一个令人深省的方面是对隐私和监控的探讨。
特鲁曼的整个生活都被摄像机记录，每个细节都成为了他人的谈资。
虽然现实生活中的监控可能并没有达到电影中那么极端，但是随着科技的发展，个人隐私正在不断被侵犯。
我们的手机、平板电脑以及社交媒体都成为了监控我们的工具。
个人信息的泄露和监控对个人的自由和安全构成了威胁。
电影唤起了人们对于隐私保护的关注，并提醒我们要保护自己的隐私权。
此外，电影还对人们对于真实与虚假的追求进行了深入的思考。
虽然特鲁曼的生活是被控制和制造出来的，但是他渴望的却是真实的自由生活。

The Comments on The Truman Show----A Brief Comment on The Truman ShowAbstract:The Truman Show is one of the Hollywood’s famous movies which tell us a story of struggle for freedom from an oppressive system. It is full of philosophy of life. After a brief introduction about the background and the main story about this movie, this paper focuses on probing the religious elements and profound philosophy of life hiding in the plot. After a detailed analysis of two important plots, we can draw the conclusion that we should struggle against fate and discover unknown world bravely.Key words: The Truman Show, philosophy, life, fate, braveThe Truman Show is one of the Hollywood’s famous movies, it shows us a story of a person struggle for freedom and to fight against fate bravely. The whole movie is full of philosophy. In order to convey the philosophic main idea, this movie based on a very unique setup. Through a show of a real person—his process of discovery, his attempts to escape his situation to provoke us into think.Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) 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 miss 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 obliviousness 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. He found all people lie to him, including his father, wife, and friends.After learning from a painful experience, Truman decided to escape from this unreal small town. After several failed escape, he decided to leave the town from the sea. However, he was desperate to find the sea in front of him and the sky turned out to be a part of this huge studio. Christof at a huge control room in the sky talked to Truman about the whole matter and told Truman that he now has been the world's most popular star. What he achieved is ordinary people can not imagine. If he is willing to stay in the sea, he can continue his star life. Truman is unmoved, took the road towards freedom.In this movie, I find an interesting detail in actors’ name. The director whose name is Christof, it is made out of my supposed religious element of the Truman Show. You can see that "Christof--Christ" named parallel. Actually, Christof did play a figure as God in the film. He controlled everything in the show---what should be happen, who should live or die, even the time (day or night) is decided by him. In my opinion, on one hand, this role try to tell us everyone has his or her destiny that was doomed when you are born and controlled by God. On the other hand, this role also laid the groundwork for the following development of plot which shows the main idea of the film.There's a deep philosophical message in the film. Truman lives in a world that's been created for him. I think many people would say that we should accept the world we're given. What we "know to be true" is what we are told is true. My "truth" depends entirely on the culture I live in and the categories of thought I'm provided with. On this basis, Truman should never escape Seahaven. But human intellect and curiosity exist precisely to question and change categories of thought. As much as Christof can try to control Truman, he fails. Truman becomes rebellious, trying desperately to escape his existence. So, Truman's quest for the truth involves observing both anomalies (a falling stage light, odd patches of rain) where there should be consistency, and patterns (bicycle, flowers, Beetle) where there should be randomness. He persists until he finds a way out of the world of image into the real world, out of the fake light, sky and clouds into the black door of whatever is out there.After watching the movie, I had a huge doubt with the way it ended, in which Truman walks through the door and out of the show forever. I had wished they could have shown us what would happen after he left. However, I finally understood why they did not. Truman had been trapped by fear. When Christof talks to Truman, trying to convince him to stay, he tells Truman that the world he is about to enter is different from the world he is leaving: the real world is full of lies, deceit and horrors. Truman's world is a place where none of those fears exist. When Truman steps through the door, going into the real world, you realize that Truman has truly conquered his fears after all.

英语电影赏析
英语电影赏析英语电影赏析The analysis of film—The Truman Show The Truman Show is a comedy film. It is a film within a film. The following is the cinematic analysis in three aspects: character, narrative and critical perspective.1.Characters and performanceCast Design in The Truman ShowCharacterization in films is sometimes novelistic, in the sense that novels typically seek to convey depth and intricacy of characters. In The Truman Show, Truman Burbank is the protagonist who is a happily married insurance salesman living in a normal life in a small town named Seahaven Island. But Truman still pursues his first love—Sylvia. It is in conflict between the two situations. Conflict is that which causes problems for the character in the pursuit of his goal.In essence, the engine driving character development and the “transformational arc” come from the change that occurs within a character when his intentions are confronted with an obstacle and he must adapt to deal effectively with it. The outer motivation (what the character wants to achieve) plus the outer conflict (conflict against external forces), develop the new abilities of protagonist in the face of challenge. Many different factors block Truman to go to Fiji to find Sylvia, on the contrary, Truman has stronger desire to get out off Seahaven Island and find the truth of obstacle. He lives up to his name Truman (true), at the end of the film, he risks his neck to conquer the storm which is mad e up and then, go out. Truman often says “In case I don’t see you, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.”This hints Truman is a man breaks the normal procedure, so the outcome doesn’t come as a surprise—Truman breaks away from the Christof’s contro lling.Meryl, Truman’s wife, seems virtuous. Everyday she goes to hospital for her work—nursing. When she comes back, she always brings new products back, and then she introduces them with a way for the promotion of the product. Meryl is a professional actress but not a good wife. Shedoesn’t love Truman but married with Truman. In the wedding, she crosses her fingers for luck. Because the actress does not present herself but instead represents the character she is play, so the style that downplays the reality of the actress has been called the “representational style”. She repeats all words from memory, not the true words from her heart. Meryl successfully reveals her motivation—through “character-in-action”.Sylvia, Truman’s first love, is an unusual lady.The first appearance on the scene, she was named as Lauren (her performing name). Sylvia sympathizes with Truman and makes an attempt to tell Truman that everyone knows about him, everyone is pretending, everything is faked for him. Her motivation is exposing the deception for rescuing Truman. She criticizes Christof is a liar and a manipulator. What he has done to Truman is sick. Her performance style that emphasizes the reality of the actress has been called the “presentational style”because Sylvia presents herself to the audience as herself in the show. It conversely compares with Meryl. But Sylvia’s power is too tiny to rouse Truman to believe her words. Due to the appearance of Sylvia, the whole film seems more illuminating.Christof, the producer of this show, a very important man inthe film, regard himself as the god. Everything around is under his controlling and monitoring. He controls Truman in his sphere of influence for 30 years which attribute to “We accept the reality of the world with which w e are presented”. Christof seems to be the creator of Truman, nevertheless, without Truman, Christof is nothing. Christof model himself as Truman’s father, a father would not let his child in a sick world. He deems it there’s no more truth out there then there is in the world he created for Truman.2. Narrative:MomentumFrom the beginning of the film, Truman wants to leave for Fiji to find a girl named Sylvia. Why does he look for this girl? That leaves us suspense. The suspense is that the audience will experience suspense if they are uncertain of the outcome of an event. To produce this uncertainty, scriptwriters and directors will commonly present a character with a strong intention and then lay significant difficulties in his way, which will lead to uncertainty concerning the outcome. Also, suspense is one of devices scriptwriters and directors employ to generate momentum in the films.Momentum is the forward movement necessary for the audience to maintain its interest in the narrative—put simply, momentum is what keeps us watching.Furthermore, there always has a camera aim at Truman, which would puzzle audiences very much and arouses me to maintain interest in the overall process, not let go out off any details. In that way they would become fully involved in the drama. Especially when Truman sails to escape, but Christof would not let him go. So many produced storms stop Truman,the audiences tense their nerve as Truman’s, as if themselves sink into the danger. Their momentum is that they want to know the ending of Truman and eagerly to know whether Truman could get rid of the island. Consequently, the box office revenue grows. More and more audiences pay their attention to the show. All the audiences doubt if Truman could escape from it, their eyes staring at Truman. This is what scriptwriters and directors expect plot to progress.3. Critical PerspectivesPsychoanalysis and the spectatorPsychoanalysis is the theory of personality developed by Sigmund Freud that focuses on the dynamic interaction of different forces (conscious and unconscious) of the psyche. It is based on the concepts of the unconscious, repression, and the division of the psyche into the id, ego, and superego.In the most primitive form, psychoanalytic interpretations of art attempt to analyze the psyche of the director. Christof calls himself as the Creator. Even his name sounds like Christ. He arranges Truman’s life in a fictional way other than he considers it as the normal life. Christof keeps watch on Truman even wants to contro l Truman’s life. Not until he sees Truman immobilize on the boat does Christof stop the storm. Maybe, it’s people’s desire for control. It’s psychological desire. Christof’s egoism brings up the non-freedom of Truman. He treats Truman’s life as a game, a mockery. The show of director—Christof, his venal psychology makes him use up all means to keep Truman in Seahaven Island.The people in the island, who are the most apathetic and insensitive spectator, pay close attention to Truman’s matters around the clock in order to satisfy their deep desire to peer. Theshow’s popularity is its straightforward voyeurism. This kind of psychology—just like Sylvia’criticism on the show—is sick. A group of psychopathic people are immersed in the sick world.。

微影评《楚门的世界》—TheTrumanShow（1998）
微影评《楚门的世界》—TheTrumanShow（1998）楚门的世界“我想所有人都会质疑各自生活的真实性，就如同孩子们总爱询问自己是否被领养一样。
”编剧 Andrew Niccol（1991）▲4分钟看完《楚门的世界》01何为真实？你所见所感所知的，就是所谓的真实吗？活了三十年，才发现身边所有的一切都是假的。
包括妻子、发小，甚至“生母”……影片创意我给满分，但剧情却细思极恐，不禁想起了几年前的Snowden……片中所有生活的场景，包括日出日落、雷电、暴风骤雨……，都是一档真人秀节目的布景（如图圆形的玻璃罩摄影棚），隐藏摄像机记录男主从出生到三十岁的全部生活记录。
1998年的老片放在今日应该也没有任何一档真人秀可以超越吧？那么问题来了？Truman三十年的生活是他本人想要的么？显然不是，从小想探险，却不断的被老师和家人洗脑，制作方甚至使得片中的演员父亲“溺水身亡”，彻底杜绝男主的念头。
直到片中的一个临时女演员忍不住泄露真相……开始对周遭产生怀疑，但和最亲近的妻子和发小分享却遭否定。
妻子呢，很“敬业”，但演技不“专业”，随处硬塞的广告植入多到连观影的我都心生好奇……▲上下滑动查看更多“The last thing that I would ever do is lie to you…”然发小则一直演技在线，特别是这句“作为朋友，怎也不会欺骗你”，辅以从小到大的回忆杀，足以瞒天过海，而后营造的22年后的父子重逢也赚足了观众和不明真相的Truman的眼泪！02即便现实并不美好，我们也不会选择一个完美无可挑剔的虚假世界。
TRUMAN:Who are you?CHRISTOF:I am the creator of atelevision show that gives hope and joyand inspiration to millions.TRUMAN:And who am I?CHRISTOF: You're the star.TRUMAN:Was nothing real?CHRISTOF:YOU were real.....这是真人秀节目的制作者Christof和Truman片尾处的对话。

1. A Brief Account of Its Background of The Truman Show
The Truman Show was a black comedy directed by Peter Weir, who was born in Australia. The film is released on 1st June,1998,which is acted by Jim Carrey, a famous comedy actor who has been well-known for "The King of Hollywood comedy".
2. The Story of The Truman Show
Truman is determined to spare no effort to get over varieties of obstacles set up by Christof, attempting to break away from the dictatorship of Christof after finding himself robbed of freedom,and makes it in the ultimate.
3. What’s Interesting
3.1. Truman,who has been in ignorance of living in a utopia over the span of his lifetime,in which Christof acts exactly like the god.What a folly it is!From my point of view,I perceive our life will be of no meaning when it is beyond our control and almost nobody would like to lead a lifestyle just like a soap opera as Truman’s because we all are always desperate for freedom.
3.2. With the economic globalization,mass media are playing a more and more significant role in every corner across the whole world.However,we are so bombarded with negativity that is important to be aware of the effect that the media has on us at the same time.For instance,there is a probability that citizen’s privacy may be exposed to outside,especially for public figures.
3.3. With so much negative influence from media,then are there any measures that we can adopt to avoid us suffering from media?In my opinion,the most important of all is that we ought to form the ability to distinguish between right and wrong amongst mass media instead of blindly accepting what we hear in the media.
4. Conclusion
Notwithstanding that mass media benefit us a lot,we are supposed to make the most use of them rather than rely on them.。
