"Truman's World" is a film at the end of the last century, released in the United States in 1998, douban rating as high as 9.3 points, nearly 1400,000 people gave 5-star ratings, is a well-deserved "good movie", this film starring comedy master Jim Carrey, looks like an "inspirational comedy", but the content is "extremely scary".
Therefore, many viewers also said: Looking at Jim Carrey's bright smile, they can't laugh at all.
This movie is a brain-opening work, the plot in it is absurd and bizarre: Truman has been "selected" when he was never born, and after birth, he became the male protagonist of a reality TV show, from childhood to adulthood, Truman lived in a "fake world", he lived on an island with 5,000 cameras, every word and deed, and a move were transmitted to the world by satellites for people to watch. Truman has always lived in this show, and his parents, wife, friends, and all the people he came into contact with are actors, even the grass, air, sun, etc. are also artificial.
Truman has lived on the island for more than 30 years and has always longed for the outside world, but he has never dared to go out, because when Truman was still young, this program designed the bridge section where his father and Truman went to sea together and were in unexpected distress, so the young Truman was deeply afraid of water. Since then, Truman has not left this place called Taoyuan Island until he was thirty years old.
Seriously, it's amazing to have such an avant-garde film theme in 1998. Coincidentally, in 1998, Japan also produced a reality TV show that was very similar to "Truman's World", which was called "Forward!" Radio Wave Boy", even half a year earlier than "Truman's World".
This "Forward! The protagonist of "The Electric Wave Boy" "Moustache" was originally a funny comedian, the program team found him and said that he wanted to shoot a live-action life program, live in a specific room, but to be naked, and there was no electronic equipment, and said that the later will be edited and broadcast again, which can make "Moustache" a hit, so "Moustache" agreed.
What "Moustache" didn't know was that all his actions in that house were broadcast in real time, and the whole Japanese audience was "teasing" the stupid boy who didn't know it. In the first two weeks, the "moustache" can still adapt, and in the next month, "hallucinations" begin to appear, physical functions have also declined, and the weight has dropped significantly, but the program team has concealed these for the sake of ratings, and the picture of the "mustache" being injected and treated has not been broadcast.
Time to 5 months, "moustache" has appeared auditory hallucinations, delirious, it seems that the audience also perceived something, gradually some viewers proposed to "end" this program, forced by public opinion plus the "mustache" situation, and finally the program group terminated the program, but unexpectedly, the program group for the last day's ratings, actually moved the mustache's house to the studio site, under the "public view", the house fell apart, and a naked "mustache" appeared in front of the audience. At this time, the mustache panicked, and after that the mustache became delirious and could not return to normal.
Imagine a person who is placed to live in a world where everything is fake, without any human rights and privacy, and all his actions are used to please the audience, but he does not know it.
"Truman's World" is only a movie after all, and what is fake is always fake, but "Forward! "Radio Boy" is so real that the audience is afraid, and this may only be something that the island country can do.
Today, 23 years later, like "Truman's World" and "Forward! The "reality show" of "Radio Wave Boy" actually appears in front of our eyes every day, and many viewers are still happy to "like".
Maybe some friends wonder, appear in front of our eyes every day? After reading what The Flathead Brother said next, you will understand. Self-media in the past two years to reach a state of blowout, countless people joined in, in order to get a "piece of the pie" on this platform to do their best.
There is such a group of people who are doing "Truman's World" and "Forward! The same thing as the "Radio Wave Boy": every day direct dial "tide shows the people's livelihood"
Everyone knows that the whole is relatively backward, especially in the border area, you will see the "gap" between each other, on the one hand, the developed city, the high-rise buildings, on the other hand, the state of the early liberation period, a curiosity makes people want to know more. Therefore, there is such a group of people who are specially directly dialed on the other side. Every day they set up telescopes on the opposite shore to "record" the bits and pieces of those on the other side.
Along with being "peeped" every day, some of the residents on the other side have long been accustomed to it, but some of them are very disgusted, and even make indecent gestures to the camera.
However, the audience who always dials the same content directly must "not buy it", and at this time, there is a new trick "script killing", they will set some people on the other side who often appear in the direct dialing screen, give them names, and then contact other people through them, and then start to "imagine the content and make a big fuss".
Or some women at work, they will deliberately "hype" to highlight what "male strong female weak, humble gap", a series of content is nothing more than to "stimulate" the audience in front of the mobile phone to participate, there are topics and traffic, and finally there is what they want.
Are these things real? How could the audience not know! But why are there still countless people standing in front of the screen every day to watch this "imaginary Truman world"? Is it really to pass the boredom? Watching, and even participating is normal, but the scariest thing is "addiction".
What is fake is fake after all, because those people can't have this ability like "Forward! "Radio Boy" does a "reality show" for you to see. This kind of content has no "positive energy", and this kind of direct dialing is not allowed by others, and it also affects the normal life of others, in other words, you are "peeped" like this every day, what will you do?
