The whole movie is creative and shocking, like a modern utopian fable. After watching the movie, I can't help but think of the classic communication book "Entertainment to Death": the general expression of television is entertainment, and all public discourses are increasingly appearing in entertainment and become a cultural spirit. All cultural materials are willing to become vassals of entertainment, and as a result we become a species that entertains to death. For entertainment and fame and fortune, TV companies can deprive a person of their most basic rights; to satisfy their own voyeurism, the public can treat a living person as a clown, and behave with TV companies. Such a morbid society is suffocating and suffocating. People fear. But in retrospect, aren’t we also all Trumans? Perhaps one day you will find that everyone around you is acting. You are a "cage bird" trapped in the design of others, but the pursuit of freedom is a belief that each of us should not let go of. It is the charm of classic movies that it is the fascination of classic movies to let others do the same.
