Truman going out

When Truman walked out of the closed town, I believed in all the courage.

Not everyone has the courage to go out, maybe you will say how difficult it is to go out. But, going out, the outside world is unknowable, unpredictable, uncontrollable, do you really dare? In a small town like a peach blossom garden, Truman is a protagonist, unknowingly being a protagonist, the kind of life of sunny and cloudy with showers, unhappy, if you want, you can live so ignorantly for a lifetime and be someone else. The creature in the eyeball, the creature that others pay attention to, and his own life under the control of a certain director has become a lively drama of the world's attention. It grows steadily, steadily falling in love, steadily sorrowful, steadily thinking, and steadily unhappiness. , Stable and stable, there is no wind and waves that upset the sky, and there is no disaster that hurts to the heart.

But Truman still chooses to go out. I like this Truman who insists on going out, this Truman who is full of courage to the unknown world, no one can guarantee that the outside world is more exciting, no one can guarantee that there is no sadness in the outside world. But that is the outside world, that is the outside world free from the current situation. Compared with stability and peace, freedom is a more precious thing. Say goodbye to a life without privacy, say goodbye to the years of being monitored, and say goodbye to those without real human rights. State, to go out, to the outside world, no matter whether the outside world is wind, rain or sunny, no matter whether the outside world is really free to the sea and the sky. What Truman hates is this kind of life in which his own life is controlled by the director's will. He wants to go out to the outside world.

I know that there is no peach blossom in the outside world. I know that in the outside world, our individual will is equally insignificant. We are also not our own masters. We are controlled by millions of directors. We will be more embarrassed and helpless, but For a moment, we worked hard for our lives, and our courage was like a sail full of wind, that was enough!

So I don't think about the life of Truman who went out, and what will happen to Andy who escaped from prison. I only like to see their magnificent moment, that great gesture, and the gesture of embracing freedom. This is a proposition about courage, about freedom, and about persistence. As long as we have this belief, I believe it will be enough for us to appreciate it.
