Thirty years of living in a seemingly real and unreal world, thinking that I am rich and happy, but in the eyes of others, it is just a live broadcast.
01
This man named Truman is the protagonist in "Truman's World". He is positive and optimistic, but also has a sense of humor, and every day he gets up and directs himself in the mirror to perform a small skit. Greeting everyone when you go out: "If I never touch you again, I wish you a good morning, a good afternoon, and a good night." He came here from birth, and he lived in this illusory studio for thirty years. 220 countries watched him learn to walk, the whole world watched his first kiss, technology grew up side by side with him, a person's life was recorded by the secret photography network, authentic, twenty-four hours a day, the world non-stop live broadcast.
Live broadcast for 30 years, Truman was also kept in the dark for 30 years.
Truman's relatives, friends, neighbors, and strangers on the road are all selected actors, and everyone is familiar with the performance process and has been performing with Truman for 30 years. He always felt as if someone was peeking at him, but he never knew the inside story.
It is said that life is a live broadcast, but who would have thought that they would be really live broadcast? Truman has been live broadcast for 30 years and kept in the dark for 30 years.
I have to say that the director of this live broadcast is a talent, or it can be said that the screenwriter of the movie is a talent, which is the originator of "family-style reality show".
In order to make Truman believe, the live broadcast crew also worked hard. First of all, a huge egg-shaped live broadcast booth was built, which covered an island, and the island was named Taoyuan Island. At the same time, brainwash him to think that taoyuan island is the best place, and let him feel that this is the most suitable place for life. Worthy of going hand in hand with technology, such a studio can be called a technological myth. This huge studio can achieve sunrise and moonset, rain and snow, which is even more difficult to see. Secondly, because it is surrounded by water, the plot of the drowning of his father prepared by the live broadcast director team makes Truman's heart form a fear of water and break through this layer of bondage. Then there's the actor who goes along with the performance, which consciously and unconsciously hinders him from having the idea of leaving. In this way, Truman lived according to the invisible arrangement for 30 years.
Life can be said to be a kind of arrangement, a kind of compromise, what do you learn, the work you do really like?
Whenever Truman finds that something is wrong in life and wants to doubt it, the people around him will say to him, "Forget it", "You must be thinking too much". So Truman accepted the absurdity, helplessness, and arrangement of this world, and finally trapped himself in Taoyuan Island.

Truman's life is actually the life of many people, living in a disciplined manner, and dying in a confused manner.
I've been preparing to go all my life but never taking a step.
And when did we become like this?
When I was a child, in the summer, it was steaming hot, and I most wanted to be a chef who sold sorbets, so that I could have endless sorbets. The people in the family said that this was not the case, and gradually the idea disappeared after the summer passed.
Slowly went to school, when it came time to choose a major, I chose the financial major arranged by my parents, and everyone said that this employment was good. So I graduated and went to the local bank and commuted to work every day. Later, I turned out my childhood diary, which read: "When you grow up, you must make a refrigerator to carry with you, so that you can eat sorbets anytime and anywhere."
In this way, in doubt, you wear out your dreams.
You think that you have become a parent and have to accompany your children to chase their dreams. Time and time again, I said that I should go back early, but the leader exercised you to give you the job, the elders taught you to have your own career, and finally listened to the opinions of the people around you to work overtime, after all, you don't have to live for progress. You think about the promotion and salary increase, you have time and opportunity to accompany the child, but in the leadership position you have to think about your subordinates, you are more stressed, and it seems that you have not seen the child for a long time. You are obviously not Truman, you are not living in the reality show scene, but you are still arranged and bound.

Of course, if this had been the case, there would have been no such thing as our movie plot, and a lighting lamp falling from the sky broke the silence. Then there is no longer deliberate advertising implantation, the girlfriend is taken away as a mental illness, and finally the "dead and resurrected" father makes his inner consciousness awaken, he starts to re-observe the world, if he does not do things in the established order, what will the result be?
The result is the same as most people's lives, different but just like a copy.
But in the end, Truman chose to pursue freedom and pursue the truth. Of course, this road is difficult, the plane has lost a ticket, the bus broke down halfway, the self-driving encountered a mountain fire, and forcibly rushed out and was caught by Truman under the guise of leaking from the nuclear power plant.
The desire to find the truth enabled Truman to overcome his fears, and he jumped on the sailboat and rode the wind and waves, even if he was knocked unconscious by the waves, he still insisted. Finally, calm returned to the sea, and Truman came to an end.
That is, at this time, the live director and Truman dialogued, the outside world is as false as the world I gave you, there are the same lies, the same fraud, but in my world, you don't have to be afraid of anything, I know yourself better than you.
I thought about it and there may be two meanings: this may be the final test given to Truman by the director, to see whether Truman chooses to break through the shackles or follow the steps; this can also be a hint that the arrangement of fate cannot be escaped, and Truman's breakthrough is the beginning of a new scene;

The end of the film is ironic.
Truman rushed out of this false world, and the audience outside the stadium cheered for him. And the next second, you will forget Truman to look for the next program. The audience does not care how Truman is living, his life is just a talk.
Praise and criticism are often not what you think of as life advice, but other people's comments.
The more comfortable life is, the more we must reflect, after all, life is like a drama, all rely on acting skills. No one can guarantee that their lives are not being manipulated by others?
