Blog 8: The Truman Show

       
                      The Truman Show is about a man who was born into a fake world but in actuality is a reality show all about him. He figures out that his whole life was a lie, his friends, his wife, and even his whole existence. Cristoff the creator and Truman’s “father” wanted to create a perfect world where there was no danger just real emotion. He put Truman’s life and his whole existence on national Television which is wrong without consent. After watching this movie I couldn’t believe what kind of deceit that had been wronged to him. Everyone deserves to live their lives how they please; no one should ever be deceived how Truman was deceived.
                       Our society may not be perfect but there is pure truth and reality. We live our lives how we please and work even harder to make it better. These true interactions with people real people can help how a person thinks and find out what they believe. The Truman show was unreal except Truman, all his friends and his family were reading from a script just saying things without truly meaning them. Basically Truman had been lied to, his whole existence. Even with my consent I would never live in a place like Sea haven it is too perfect, all smiles everything neat and tidy. I couldn’t live with myself how everyone would be artificial and reading off lines when I would talk it would be real and considerate. That lifestyle is unfair to Truman how he didn’t know what was going on and how he lived his so called ordinary life every day until he started suspecting something was up. All he wanted to do was to leave that little town and travel so he could see the world.  
                      Cristoff wanted fake a society where he was safe, unharmed, and comfortable. He implies that the reality of the real world is too dangerous and all he wanted to see was real emotion from Truman and told Truman that there was nothing waiting for him. Cristoff put Truman in his fantasy world where he wanted to grow up. As a “father” cristoff wanted to protect him from what he went through. He used Truman as an example of what he really wanted as Cristoff was Truman. The problems he creates in trumans world are real but candy coated problems, it always has a touching solution.  In the movie they didn’t want Truman to find out he was in a show so they made him afraid of water by truamatizing him.
