A classic clip of the film
Everybody's acting, only you're in the dark. Truman's world is entirely realized by the creator's creativity, in fact he lives in a huge studio, the sky he looks up at, not an infinite space, it is only the illusion of what he sees visually. All the people around him are actors invited by the director, including his parents who took care of him since he was a child, the lovers who lived with him, and the fa xiao who he knew when he was 7 years old...
But people are always very accustomed to accepting the things around them, whenever there is something strange happening around them, the newspaper or television or radio will have the corresponding report to explain, we will believe, and Truman is of course no exception, from small to large all things the media will always report to explain him. For example, if a lamp accidentally dropped by the staff, it will be reported on the radio immediately because of a plane crash and so on.
Dreams are the source of change. When he was a teenager, Truman fell in love with the girl Roland at first sight, unfortunately, this girl is not the heroine approved by the director, so the director arranged for Roland to leave Truman's world, and before leaving, Roland's father told him that their whole family was going to move to Fiji in order to make Truman die. In order to piece together his memories, Truman bought a fashion magazine from the newsstand every day, and then tore off the five features of the girl on the screen, and finally spelled out Roland's photo. Because of his doubts about the world around him and his attachment to love, he decided to flee Taoyuan Island and go to Fiji to find his true love. But outrageous events follow one after another...
He cleverly escaped and sailed to the other side of the sea. The director insisted that he stay in this place, and increased the intensity of the storm, almost sunk the ship, Truman still did not turn around. Finally, the clouds opened and the fog dissipated. The boat floated in the middle of the sea, and when Truman was still imagining, suddenly the ship crashed into the "blue sky and white clouds".
There is a door at the end of the blue sky and white clouds, Truman can choose to go out or stay here, the director said, the outside world is the same as here there are lies and fraud, the difference is that this is a world for you, you can consider it.
Truman smiled and walked out, on the other side of the world, Roland was waiting for him...
There are no desperate situations in the world, only people who are desperate for their situations. In this colorful world, everyone lives a different life, and there is always someone who lives the life you want.
Among us, some people choose to follow the script given by life, play their own lives safely and steadily, and some people choose another path, they will take the initiative to understand the world of others, broaden their horizons or change themselves for their own better life, and promote themselves to become a better self. Perhaps, we will always be in this circle, perhaps, we are hovering on the edge of this circle, we may leave this circle at a fortuitous time. So, if I don't see you again... Good morning, noon and evening!
Classic lines from the film
1, if I can't touch you again... Good morning, good afternoon, good night...
2, we are tired of seeing fancy stunts.
3, but Truman's world can be said to be false. Truman himself was not false at all.
4, this show has no script, no prompt card. Not necessarily a masterpiece, but like a fake. It is a true record of a person's life.
5, time is not with me, you can not face the reality, so... You're going to go somewhere else to find a way out, but the important thing is that I'm willing to stick a knife in both ribs for you friend.
6, some birds will not be locked, because their feathers are too beautiful!
7) You have no right to treat a life as a show.
The film also asks about the meaning of existence
Each of us is Truman
Unknowingly accept the influence and implications of the environment on us
But we can choose
Choose to burn beautifully and shine
Choose to sing far away in the impact of ocean currents
Choose an uncertain state to live with vitality!
An An believes that one day
You and I will break free of the shackles like Truman
Even if you carry the weight forward, you can live your life
The world
Hope you can do yourself well
Because everyone aspires to be themselves
