The Truman Show

THE TRUMAN SHOW

1.Write a personal response to having watched the film, your reflections, what it made you think about. 

  I think "The Truman show" is a wonderful movie which EVERYONE should watch. After I watched this movie, I felt like I might even lived in a "Fake world" which I don't even know myself. In this "Real word", I believe many people have lost theirselves, becasue everyday is live, no rehersal. People might cannot follow the change of the things that have happened around them in their enviornment.
2. Summarize what the article, "The Meaning of the Truman Show" is saying.

 "The Truman Show" is talking about a " World Pouplar Tv Star" who actually  lives in a "fake real world" under the camera in 24 hours. The story in his life has perfectly developed and designed by a genius televsion director. The funny thing is, his friends, his family, his wife, his frist love, his classmates, the people who also "lives" in the island are all actors, and Truman has lived in this "fake-real life" almost 30 years until one day he realizes the strange things have kept happening in his world. He is trying to figure out the answer and acrros oversea to find out another world. In the end, he would like to go out rather staying in this "fake-real world". The actual meaning of this movie is reflecting human being's hopes and worries, the world that auidance live might not the "REAL WORLD" (like they live in a comfortable world and cannot understand what poor and hunger are. Also, auidances can understand that celebrities have never enjoyed in his/her real life, or love. They don't have freedom, privacy or even theirselves.

3. Do you agree with the writer's opinion? Justify your answer with valid reasons.

 I totally agree with the writer's opinion, I believe too many people have lost theirselves in the "REAL WORD", and they are afraid to change or even take a further step. If you don't try, how do you know the result? If you don't try, what esle will you know? People should not just sit there and do nothing in their lives.
4. How long has Truman been led to believe that he has been living a "Real Life"?

  I think Truman has been led to believe that he has been living a "Real life" when finds out the "different place" after the elevator,  he starts to think about those questions:  Why the lamp just falls from the sky, and where does it come from? Why his first love told him that everything is fake around him,even the sand? Why the people around him are doing the same thing in a planned schedule?

5. What film genre is The Truman Show?

 I believe "The Truman show" is a comedy which can teach us leason and causes us to think, a educational movie.

6. Does this movie act as a metaphor for our own lives. Justify your answer with valid reasons.

 Many auidances may just live in a "fake life like Truman. Your friends are not really your friends, your love might not really like you, some people are might using you to approach their goals, but we always say "who knows?" Yea, who knows? But if don't find out by yourself, you will NEVER KNOW!
