There is no enlightenment like Kidding in Truman’s life. He wants to awaken and save himself spontaneously. This is almost impossible in reality.

And Trumen, who had been deceived, chose to break at the moment when the truth came to light. Although the director tried hard to persuade him and told him that the outside world was as false and lie as what he had given to him, but Chumen still Resolutely go, looking for a life without a "director". Although the ending was soothing, but after seeing it, he still inevitably fell into pessimism. Maybe Truman was just another trap, the difference is that he just returned to the starting point of deception, just like he was just born. No wonder my friend didn't feel relieved after seeing it, but lost it, and developed a deep yearning for Truman's world...
