A rational word healer, I hope you can find a little comfort in my words for life.
If one day, someone suddenly told you that every minute and every second of your life was arranged by someone, there were nearly 5,000 cameras monitoring your life at all times, and everything was acting, what would you do?
The movie "Truman's World" is such an idea.
Truman was born in a small town with a sea view, from the moment of birth to be watched by the audience in front of the TV, from the baby to the first teeth to learn to walk, until he grew up, it is still the same, every day is his life live to others to watch, this show is named: Truman Show.
Everyone around him, his parents, his wife, his friends, and even strangers, were all actors who were arranged to do the same thing day after day, and that was their job.
As Truman grew older, he gradually found that his life was too smooth, and once there was an accident, someone would immediately appear to prevent this from happening.
Every time you go out, you will see a couple of neighbors greeting him in a friendly way, and he will say the classic saying: In case I can't see you in the future, I will first wish you a good afternoon and a good night;
I would go to a commissary to buy a morning newspaper and a fashion magazine; then I would go to work and get along with my colleagues.
When he learned that he had the idea of leaving the town, the people around him tried to dissuade him, his mother would call him sick, and his wife and friends would play the emotional card.
Everyone's lines are prepared in advance, except truman who is real.
And the reason why he always wanted to leave, in addition to wanting to go to the outside world to see, the pursuit of freedom, there is another very important reason is that when he was young, he met a girl named Sylvia, she is also the only truth among the people.
After a brief time with Truman, she told Truman the truth:
At that time, Truman was still half-convinced, and it wasn't until the later occurrence of various things that he really began to doubt that his life was arranged by people.
More than ten years later, I met my father, who had long been told of my death; when I looked through the family photo album, I found that my wife was making strange gestures, meaning that the marriage was uncountable and false; in the process of talking with friends, there were lies in the eyes of friends, and a series of things made Truman have to doubt the truth behind this.
When all the truth was in front of him, he began to cooperate with them in acting, pretending to be indifferent, in fact, the escape route had already been planned, and the so-called ideal country was actually just to bind his cage.
Overcoming its fear of the sea, the boat that pursues freedom breaks through the delicate, false canvas. The director is still not dead hearted, repeatedly asked Truman whether he really wants to leave, in the director's view, everything he designed is the best paradise on earth, thinking that the outside world is full of hypocrisy, is a sick society, Truman lives in the world, safe, beautiful, fascinating.
In fact, this just shows that the reason why the director will arrange the appearance of Truman is only an excuse for him to avoid reality, and he does not have the courage to face life, he is the coward.
As the saying goes: When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.
At the end of the movie, when the audience saw that Truman escaped from the established "peach blossom garden", almost everyone was rejoicing, but soon after, it returned to calm, and the program was transferred like nothing, which also showed that your life has never been so many people care, your sorrow and joy, it is difficult for anyone to really pay attention to it.
As Lu Xun said: People's sorrows and joys are not the same.
"Truman's World" shows us a world full of friendship, but Truman living in it is not happy, bound by freedom, and can not really appreciate the warmth of life, what others give him, just what others arrange to give, what he sees, just wants him to see.
Everyone's life should have his own personal characteristics, good or bad is not the most important, the key lies in whether we can accept that state of life well.
"Truman's World" also made me understand: "The most unsorciable and unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart." ”
The first half of Truman's life was under the director's arrangement, and everyone thought that Truman would be satisfied with the status quo and spend his life on this, but underestimated his yearning and pursuit of freedom.
The director believes that everything he does is for Truman's sake, but in fact he only finds a fig leaf for his own selfishness, mistakenly believing that the comfort zone he gives Truman is the best state of life.
But the world is unpredictable, not to mention the human heart, Truman will choose to leave after learning the truth, because he wants to find his own life, to find people who really put him in his heart, and no one will always follow the established trajectory of others.
I've seen this movie three times in total, and each time I feel differently.
At first glance, I think this is a comedy, and many plots will make people laugh;
When I looked at it for the second time, I felt that Truman was pitiful, and I remembered the story of the canary who sang day and night in the cage;
When I looked at it three times, I understood that the so-called comedy is to take apart the tragedies of others for others to see, and the people who watch the live show all think that Truman's daily funny is funny, but in fact, who can accept and show everything naked in front of others.
