We are our own Truman.

I have recently revisited The Truman Show, and every time I watch it, I will have different feelings and experiences. The film has several overlapping effects, which hit me hard again.

The first perspective of God is undoubtedly the audience watching Truman Show, the bar girl, the old man taking a bath, the old lady sitting on the sofa and the security guard in the monitoring room. They regard Truman as a kind of entertainment, or a joke, and enjoy himself with Truman's joys and sorrows.

The second level of God's perspective is the team that created The Truman Show headed by Christie. They supervised Truman's every move. As long as Truman doesn't follow the preset plot, whether he takes someone who can walk or readjusts the plot, the director will try his best to get his life back on track. They regard Truman as a tool of fame and fortune.

The third layer of us from the perspective of god. The plot of this play is somewhat similar to Sophie's World and The Secret of Cards. Also substitute yourself into the leading role and supporting role, let us feel our feelings. We even think that we are Truman, that is, Sophie, which has risen to the philosophical level infinitely, reminding us that life is also controlled by unknown forces.

What is life?

The contradiction between rationalism and individualism.

? When Kishore advised Truman to stay in Taoyuan Island, he said, "The outside world is as false as the world I gave you, with the same lies and frauds, but in my world, you have nothing to be afraid of."

? Kishore shielded the hypocrisy and cruelty of the outside world, and provided Truman with a complete life, a happy family, a relaxed job and a comfortable living environment, which most ordinary people might never reach in their lifetime, but Truman easily refused.

? Truman refused for the simple reason that this was not the real life he wanted.

The contradiction between ideal and reality

? Perfect Xanadu is false, and there can be no such utopia in reality. As an audience, on the one hand, it comes from prying psychology, on the other hand, it will seek spiritual comfort and all the beautiful life in The Truman Show.

True self is the only theme of life.

What shocked me was this conversation: Truman asked Christopher, "Is everything fake?" Christie replied, "You are real."

? Truman has lived in a perfect scam for 30 years. Everything about everyone is false, but one thing is true, that is, Truman is true, and everything related to Truman himself, knowledge, hobbies, habits and personality, is true.

This film is our last hope. No matter how false the outside world is, the self is real. No matter how dangerous it is outside, instead of being a pull-string doll at the mercy of others, the real experience is to live your real life based on your own heart, even if it is just an ordinary person.
