Truman_Show

Truman Show “The Truman Show” “The Truman Show” is a profoundly disturbing movie. The movie displays a wide variety of themes, but the philosophical key to the whole movie lays at rest. A utopia, an ideal place with social perfection, can not be faked. In Truman’s utopia he has no choices, and in the absence of choice, no utopia can survive. In the end, Truman’s fake world comes to a screeching hault. The hero, Truman, lives in an artificial world, constructed especially for him. He knows no other place. The people around him, unbeknownst to him, are all actors. His life is monitored by 5000 cameras and broadcast live to the world, 24 hours a day, everyday. All of Truman’s choices were controlled by his environment and his peers. He never actually made any choices on his own; they were all persuaded by his repetitive environment. In the world today, everyone is forced to make decisions and choices which shape our future. If we had no choices and our environment was controlled like Truman’s, the world would never progress into anything new. Technology would never grow, and the people would all live the same everyday life.
