Movie Review of the Truman Show

Born as a TV star, Truman is living in a small island called Seahaven for the first half of his life. But he doesn’t know that everyone and everything happened around him is fake. Nor dose he know that the place he lives for so many years is actually a huge studio. With the plot spreading, Truman gradually realizes that there is something wrong with his life; It seems that everybody and everything is focused on him. Leading by his dream, he managed to get out; leaving the world that was created for him and went to that unknown outside, dark and dangerous. Freedom is an eternal topic in western movies and is also very important for all of us. How can a people live without freedom and privacy? I see that Truman lives in such an amazing environment that everybody in the world can see him and there is no privacy for him at all. But after he finds that he is living in a fictitious world, he makes up his mind to leave the studio to live a life that belongs to him. To get the girl he loves and his freedom back, he overcomes his psychological barrier and fights with the storms and lightening made by the chief conductor of the movie---the Truman Show. Finally, Truman makes it and get out of the fictitious world although he knows that there maybe many unknown obstacles waiting for him. This is the power of freedom and love. Another thing I’d like to mention is that when reporters ask why Truman has never come close to discovering the true nature of his world

until now, and then the answer is that we accept the reality of the world with which we are presented. I was shocked when I heard this. In our daily life, we get used to what is happening around us so we never ask why this just happens. Although we live our lives everyday, life itself is the thing easiest forgotten by us. If we pay more attention to our life, we may find that there are so many things for us to do to enhance our life. We are usually getting numb with time going by. So be curious about the things happened in our life and you may find that life is interesting and happy.

Cherishing your life and enjoying your life, you can make a big difference.
