A different world

After watching "The World of Trumen", my heart was quite restless.
Has a person's life been arranged? I still can't believe it. From the moment Truman was born, everything about him was arranged. He was just a doll. However, is this really the case? People have their own pursuits at all times, just like those who think of thousands of ways to approach Trumen, they think about it in their dreams when they think of Trumen's world. It is ridiculous that Truman is also thinking of doing everything possible to enter their world. People are like this in many cases. They can see the happiness of others but cannot see their own happiness, and they have been pursuing the happiness of others.
Truman is pursuing. He thinks of his first love, and he thinks of escaping from that "strange circle". Maybe Truman had the idea of ​​"strike" because of that girl, maybe it was for other reasons. At the end of the movie, Truman made the most beautiful choice in the world, stepping out of the so-called "Xanadu" and entering the real society to experience his true life.
Why a group of people’s happiness is based on one’s pain. How much happiness Truman brought to those audiences, and how much success it brought to the director of the TV series. They laughed, moved, shed tears, made a lot of money, and became famous, but what did Truman get? Truman can only have a strange feeling, can only be inexplicable. There is no absolute fairness in the world, but many times people don’t expect the so-called fairness, and just want a little bit of satisfaction in their inner world. This may be called selfishness to the people around them. Everyone is selfish, there is no doubt about that. But in this film I saw that the selfishness of a group of people is better than the selfishness of one person. The same is selfishness, why can the selfishness of a group of people be satisfied, but the selfishness of a person cannot be satisfied. On the contrary, the selfishness of this group of people is still based on one's pain. I think it’s easier to meet one person than to meet a group of people. Simple!
Everyone's life is like the Truman in the movie, except that thousands of cameras are installed in his brain, not in his world like Truman. Truman can get out of the camera shooting range, but we can't get out of our camera shooting range unless life stops. But the camera in our brain is not as scary as in "Trumen's World", we don't need to get rid of it. What's sad is that we rarely can direct our own film into a blockbuster like the director portrayed in "The World of Truman". However, this is not what we worry about, this is just our dream. We only need to work hard to make ourselves a very creative director and perform our own films to the fullest.
Finally, let's talk about a shot of this movie. "The portrait of Truman hiding under his desk, tearing up a book to put together." Why should he hide under his desk? I feel strange. First, this is not logical, and second, it does not conform to American culture. When performing this scene, Truman's dissatisfaction with the surrounding environment was not clearly shown in the film. In other words, he didn't know that everything about him was being stared at. Is it necessary for him to hide? American culture can be said to be relatively open and avant-garde in the world, especially in terms of sex. It's common for a man to put a woman's head together. Is it necessary to hide? If it is to increase the sense of mystery, then there is no need to perform the spelling images as well! It's okay if Truman is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, because people at that age are shy. But Truman is not, he has a wife. I am puzzled about this.
"The World of Truman" has a unique shooting angle and is refreshing. It is a rare and good film. It is not easy to forget and has endless aftertastes. It can resonate in the heart. I will not regret it after watching it. I hope more people will watch it. , Think about it, comment on it, and feel it.
