Truman

Truman is an ordinary person, as ordinary as living by our side. He has many desires, and they are easy to satisfy. Therefore, he is sometimes ecstatic, sometimes like a concubine, and most of the time he is hesitant and depressed and at a loss. At this time, the genius director has a place to use it again. He constantly creates new stimuli, making his long drama turbulent and appetizing. He created trouble for Truman when he was happy, and when he was frustrated, he lost no time to give him a chance. He made the blonde girl suddenly appear in Truman’s sight like a romance novel, opened the valve of his lust, and let her leave suddenly, causing her soul to fall into a bottomless abyss; he let Truman never meet." "The late father" suddenly appeared, and the exaggerated and funny scene of recognizing each other made his eyes burst into tears, and at the same time earned the tears of the TV viewers; he also asked Truman’s close friends to care for him and enlighten him when he was in a bad mood. , Made him feel this "spring in the desert" and regain his confidence, although that friend is just an actor, and he is carrying a large number of lines...I admire the talented and extraordinary genius director in the movie. Thinking of God, and seeing that weak, tired, confused Truman was played with hypocrisy again and again, and still full of optimism about life and future, my heart was a bit sad, and I couldn't bear to face it—I couldn't bear it. Face a real "us"! "Life is like a play, and play is like life", the philosopher sighs, but the actors on the stage of life--we, do we always have a sense of acting? Or is it under the deception and arrangement of God to do meaningless things with selflessness? Happiness is not enough to make us love the world; frustration is not enough to make us abandon the world. God is like that genius director. He has a good grasp. He knows when to give us a head and when to set a warm stove for us. He keeps us hope in pain and in hope. To endure the pain, because the pain creates the waves of the plot and the ratings, and the hope is the appearance fee that is rewarded to us so that we will not stop halfway through the show. At the end of the movie, Truman was awakened. He turned to the camera and really stopped acting "God". The genius director panicked. He would lose the audience. He tried his best to keep Truman, telling him that it is dangerous to leave the world controlled by the director, but Truman still walked out of the door and walked into the dark unknown world. Said that no matter what was waiting for him in that world, he didn't care. Buddhism has the term "epiphany", and it is said that the human nature is self-sufficient and complete, and it is the dust of the world that covers it and makes it lost. It seems that Truman has had an epiphany. He has retrieved the lost self, that self-sufficient and free nature.
