What kind of world do you live in now?
If one day you find that everyone in your world except you are actors, including your partner, your parents, your best friends... Are they all fake, will you choose to accept this thing? Or go looking for another world?
The movie "Truman's World" tells such a story, Truman has lived in "Taoyuan Island" since birth (in fact, it is the largest studio, his every move has been captured by thousands of cameras, the whole world can see his live life), everything around him is fake, everyone knows that only he himself does not know, and finally Truman found the truth and walked out of this virtual world without fear of difficulties.
It is such a seemingly absurd story, but it has caused people to think deeply about what is the difference between Truman's world and our world, and whether the people around us are also arranged people, even
Truman's end of the world
The Taoyuan Island built by the director in the movie, from the name, reminds me of Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Origin", we also have a paradise, which is a perfect world, beautiful environment, simple folk customs.
Whether it is the perfect world built by "Truman's World" or "Peach Blossom Origin", there is a common feature, that is, it is centered on the protagonist and there is only justice and there is no evil.
The protagonist's every move in "Truman's World" is transmitted to the ears of everyone on the island through headphones, and all they have to do is to cooperate with Truman to create a seemingly "normal" world, and in this world there is only good, no evil, and let him accept this reality.
At this point, the director in the movie said that he wanted to give Truman the best and most perfect life, Truman is like a flower in a greenhouse protected from the world.
This is to create a comfort zone, we also have a comfort zone in real life, and there are people who create a comfort zone for us.
When we are young, our parents will give us what they think is the best and most perfect, and will deliberately put us in the environment they think is perfect, creating a world that will not be harmed, so some children have a very happy childhood, and their lucky life is healed by childhood.
After growing up, parents do not have the ability to create a perfect world, we participate in the work, some companies will create a comfort zone for us, just like the previous bankruptcy of the live broadcast platform, the employees inside rely on the comfort zone created by the company, do not want to make progress, and finally the company closes down, the employees inside are unemployed, just like boiling frogs, not in the circle outbreak, just in the circle to perish.
At the same time, we will also create a comfort zone for ourselves, we set limits for our own lives, choose to live in our most comfortable circle, for example, I have a teacher who teaches in a well-known training institution, has an annual salary of tens of millions, it can be said that it is very comfortable, but he is not willing to choose to be comfortable in the circle, because then he will not make any progress, so he chose to resign and start his own business, for this I admire the teacher, because really rarely choose to break through the comfort zone he has created.
People are all emotional, as the only real person in the "Truman's world", he certainly has a real love, that is, his first love.
Her first love fell in love with Truman, did not want to see Truman deceived, told Truman the truth, violated the regulations, and was forcibly dragged away by the crew, but she always believed that Truman would come out to find her, and she has always believed and continued to pay attention to Truman.
Truman pieced together the face of his first love
Truman's love for his first love made him begin to doubt the world in which he lived, and later his deceased father (in order to make Truman fear the sea, the director let his father die in a shipwreck) suddenly appeared, which made Truman's suspicions deepen.
In an interview with the director in the film, someone asked "how to make Truman fully believe in that world", and the director replied: "It's very simple, because that's reality".
But the real reality, the dead will not be reborn, people's lives can not be smooth and smooth forever, not to mention ordinary people like Truman, even the life of a well-known celebrity is full of disasters and difficulties.
Truman's world is always bland This is not reality, the real world will undergo earth-shaking changes every second, every second there are people dying, accidents are everywhere, it is because Truman's world will never have accidents, so his father this accident, the first love of this accident, the discovery of the crew of the accident, so that Truman began to doubt life.
Life is full of accidents, just like some people say I want to have a life without surprises, but I know that it is the life of a dead person.
Truman discovered the truth, he decided to look for the unknown world, that world may not be perfect, people may be hypocritical, even full of evil, but Truman desperately looking for it, after all, that is the real world.
In order not to let Truman escape, the director created an artificial wind wave, the wind blew the boat over, the wave knocked the sail down, Truman was soaked by the sea, or did not turn back, the director stopped the action.
Here is like the person who has decided to escape from the comfort zone, the road will encounter wind and waves, will be injured and desperate, it is not so easy to walk, the road to the goal is always full of thorns, it will make you scale all over, but as long as you withstand the baptism of suffering, like a phoenix nirvana, reborn in the fire, let it wind and rain are not afraid.
Truman's cry of not accepting defeat
Truman withstood the ordeal and walked to the door to the real world, at this time, the director in the movie appeared, he expressed his love for Truman to Truman with a feeling of an old father, telling Truman that the outside world was not good, and warmth did not keep Truman.
Truman's desire to flee has been firmly determined, and neither tribulation nor warmth can stop it. Some people are not defeated by tribulations, but lose in flowers and applause, lose themselves in some satisfaction of desire and vanity, and thus lose the motivation to continue to move forward.
(1) Be good at finding comfort zones
Truman's world is Truman's comfort zone, we also have our own comfort zone, in this circle, we are at ease with things, familiar with the people in the circle can not be more familiar, in this circle we are very comfortable, but we are difficult or even unable to make progress, this is the comfort zone.
(2) Have the courage to break the comfort zone
No one likes suffering, but we don't like to rest on our laurels and make no progress. It's setting limits on your life, and you're only going to keep improving if you're uncomfortable, because science shows that as long as you keep doing something, or even thinking about something in the same way, you'll eventually stop growing.
(3) Firm in your own choices
When you decide to jump out of your comfort zone, you must be as unswerving as Truman, and be "soft and hard not to eat", neither afraid of believing in difficulties nor being confused by comfortable smoke bombs.
