A person's life is designed to be a reality show that is broadcast live to the world 24 hours a day. His birth, his first front teeth, his first kiss... All these should only belong to his own memory, but Forced to share with the world without his knowledge. In Truman's world, except that he is real, everything around him is just acting, whether it's his gray-haired mother, his wife in bed with him, or his best friend since the age of seven Malone. This deliberately created world always has moments of stiff expression. After he saw these abnormal appearances more and more, he began to do everything possible to escape, to find the truth and love on the other side of the world...
After he finally defeated that A huge man-made storm, and as he continued his long journey with full anticipation, his boat collided with the boundary of this world - a huge wall painted with sky and white clouds, this wall has A door, without a doubt, to the real world—the real, sick world of lies and hurt. Although the creators of the show tried their best to tell Truman how terrifying the world outside the door was, Truman chose to leave the greenhouse, stepped into the gate, and disappeared in the darkness...
If I were Truman, I would definitely I will choose to go out, but it's not how much I hate this huge studio, and the false warmth of the people around me every day, I'm just curious, curious about this black world that I have never reached in my lifetime, and after this, I I will definitely regret that I tried so hard to pursue such a cruel truth. Obedience is dangerous, but resistance is more painful, and illusions are often easier to accept than truth.
Looking at the cheering people in the ending, the audience who always thought it was none of their business but also became the accomplices in the tragedy of Truman, they obtained the pleasure of snooping from Truman's reality show, and gained resistance from Truman's struggle They can't resist accepting all the performances that look good, they follow the director's intention to be sad, happy or angry, and finally what? After cheering for Truman's success in breaking away from this illusory world, they could only be meaningless bystanders.
Yes, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, and their cheers are just because of a drama that they successfully escaped from reality.
I don't like this ending. It doesn't get rid of the usual happy ending routine of Ho Laiu. As a viewer, I don't feel relieved as expected by the director. The only thing that made me feel a little bit brilliant in the ending was the two guards. When the "Truman Reality Show" ended, they immediately put away the smile on their faces and started looking for the next exciting show, because they are paying consumers , so they know that the next "Truman" will be created by the profit-hungry media immediately.
The ending of Truman I imagined should be another equally virtual world that I stepped into after walking out of this door.
Really, very tempting, but also hurtful. Just like the freedom we hope for, but absolutely pure freedom, I think no one can afford it, so stop teasing the system. Although it is also a double-edged sword, it is never as hurtful as the truth.
Either live in fantasy, or die, or watch how this executioner named "Real" shatters your spine little by little.
