[1998] The Truman Show Review ( Are you an animal familiar with control? Are you a human who yearns for freedom? )

Review by @zioland · 1938d · of The Truman Show

0.jpg

We don't see the real reality, we just mistake the world in front of our eyes as the real reality.

Throughout life, we often forget our options.

Remember that the moment you forget, you lose it.

The moment you think you can't change and you think this is forever

You get trapped in it.

We live in a centrally controlled society.

central bank, central government, SNS, media, etc.

These controls are familiar.

But humans have an intrinsic desire to get out of repressed control, and that's probably the birth of blockchain and the reason we're in the hive.

The last scene of the Truman Show is a famous scene, and I think there will be people who know it even if they haven't seen all the movies.

I remember watching the movie'Truman Show' when I was a kid, but the last scene was vividly in my head.

Although it was released in 1998, I think it is more valuable and better than the movies that are now out 20 years later.

There is a reason why this movie is considered a masterpiece.

The story of the movie criticizing our lives through the story of reflecting one's life on TV was also amazing, Director Peter Weir, famous for'The Society of the Dead Poets,' and Jim Carrey, who is known as a comedy actor, have excellent cami.

A man living in a fake world

'Truman Show' contains the story of'Truman', a character who has lived in a huge set made for him since he was born.

In a world woven by director Christophe (Ed Harris), Truman lives without knowing anything, and his 24 hours are broadcast live all over the world.

Still, 30 years after the Truman Show aired, Truman has no doubts about his fake world.

The world he lives in is a world where 999 people play for one. At the very beginning of the film, there is an interview with actors who play Merrill and Malone.

Ironically, they say that the Truman Show is life itself, and it's true. However, they too are just actors who move according to the written script, and Christopher controls Truman's life through cue signs and scripts.

The broadcast, which was wrapped up as if it were true, was a film that was woven by the director's direction in the end.

Truman's controlled life seems to reflect our self.

The current state of being monitored by CCTV, and of sharing all of our daily lives through social media and being controlled by the media, our reality resembles Truman Show's Sea Haven.

It is a movie that makes us think about whether we are living a controlled life within limits and norms like Truman.

The advertisements that appear in the middle of the Truman Show also witty pinch the negative side of reality.

Truman doesn't feel weird when he sees Merrill and Malone, who advertise their products in a weird situation.

Even though we are exposed to numerous advertisements, we are used to it and seem to see ourselves controlled by advertisements.

His ordinary story'The Truman Show'

Truman works as an ordinary insurance salesman.

He greets neighbors every morning, buys magazines from newsstands, greets twin brothers on the road, and goes to the office every day, and his pattern goes the same, without error.

That's why the actors only have to perform at the same time every day, so the world centered on Truman goes smoothly.

Why have people all over the world watched for 30 years when they saw that ordinary Truman's daily life, and are they enthusiastic about Truman?

Perhaps, what does it mean for them to watch Truman's day by day, who is living a life similar to himself?

Do you feel a sense of unity as you watch others who are living a life similar to yours, and feel relieved that everyone is living the same life?

The laxity of the world through his inner change

Truman begins to have doubts about his life, and the world he sees appears in front of him 180 degrees differently than before he had doubts.

The world he lives in is clumsy.

Actors who continue to perform given actions in the same pattern, to incomplete sets and radios.

The world that looked so perfect and smooth until Truman became suspicious now appears so lax and poorly.

The film shows us this change in Truman's consciousness appropriately.

These features often appear in our lives as well. Suspicious of things that have become so used to it

Without paying attention, we lose our ability to doubt.

'Christopher' in control of everything

The Truman Show intersects Truman's daily life, the control room where Christopher controls the situation, and the people watching the Truman Show.

The character Christopher plays an important role in the movie'The Truman Show'.

He has destroyed the dignity and free will of mankind for 30 years for the success and success of his broadcasting.

Christopher's actions, such as artificially letting him have a mental trauma to control Truman, and brainwashing him by reminding him of danger, are selfish.

The actions he does without taking Truman's position into account make him angry while watching a movie.

To prevent Truman from coming out of the fake world, it was shocking to see Truman's cold-hearted appearance in increasing the intensity of the storm, saying that it is okay for him to die.

Because of his soberness, I think the Truman Show could be maintained for 30 years.

In addition to Christopher's directing, viewers who watch the Truman Show are also his conspirators.

'The Truman Show' was now a part of their lives, and Truman was like their idol.

The movie cheered and cheered for Truman's escape, but as soon as the broadcast was stopped, they immediately showed their appearance to find another program, making them goose bumps.

Watching the ending of a drama, not interest in what a human really does come out into reality, Their interest was there.

It was out of their interest how Truman came to reality and how he would accept this reality and how he would be shocked.

To them, Truman was not a'human' like them, but an actor in the medium of TV...

I think the Truman Show's way of delivering messages is great.

In the second half of the film, Truman overcomes the storm, or trial and his own trauma, to find reality, and eventually reaches the end of the world, the wall of the set.

As he slowly steps toward the door to the world, he must have been ready to encounter reality.

How complicated his feelings must have been. Truman only knows the futility when he finds out that the world he knows is a decorated fake.

Christopher talks about how dangerous reality is, but Truman decides to come out into that dangerous world.

And his final greetings show that his determination to go on an adventure has now become a real reality.

In the movie, the following lines appear three times. If the first and second greetings were to show his willingness to go on an adventure, the last greeting he gave is now really the last one.

  • And in case I don't see ya,

    Good afternoon,

    Good evening,

    and good night.

Truman comes out of the world.

Will he be able to adapt and live in reality rather than in a world revolving around Truman?

Will he be able to believe everything Christopher will tell you? Maybe a fake world that was like a nest would be more comfortable for Truman.

Before he knew the truth, Truman was happier than anyone else and was living a normal life.

His friends, his straight job, his wife and his own home.

Now, it is time for Truman to leave the nest and flap his wings, and instead of turning the channel where he appears, I want to support his adventure to the end.

And I have to look back to see if I am living in a controlled life.

I hope that I can face reality and live my life independently.

    There is only lies and deception in this world, but there is nothing to fear in the world I made. "

    I love this movie, Jim Carrie as always makes what is a serious topic really funny. Ready your post, just brings back memories especially the catch-line good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

    But I do agree, sometimes our world is a façade, and we need to go out and explore the world around us, and that means sometimes doing things or places that are outside our comfort zone. Just like Truman did when he left the set.
