The film presents us with three perspectives, one is the perspective of Christof, who was the director of Truman's life. He watched Truman's growth and showed Truman's life before the public. For his behavior, we cannot simply summarize his actions with just two words of interest. In my opinion, Christof has feelings for Truman, but he is still selfish. He thought that giving Trumen a Taoyuan-like world would make Trumen willing to stay in Taoyuan. In his opinion, the world Truman lives in is false, but the real world is not much better, on the contrary, it is more cruel, more hypocritical, and more painful.
However, this imposition of one's worldview on another is itself a wrong and selfish act. Christof is a tragic character. Although Truman is trapped by him, he is not afraid of him. Although Christof seems to have mastered the overall situation, he is doomed to fail because he does not even have the courage to see the world clearly. He does not believe that although the world is ugly, it is also beautiful. The second perspective is that of Truman. After discovering the weirdness of all these events, Truman finally chose to forbear. When everyone thought that he no longer doubted his life and finally started to calm down again, he suddenly disappeared. He rides the wind and waves to get out of this predicament. In the end, he came to the edge of the town after experiencing rough seas, and found that the border of the town was a wall painted with blue sky and white clouds. How desperate and sad. But in the end, Truman still had a choice. In the end, when Christof threw the final multiple-choice question, all those who watched Truman's life held their breaths, waiting for Truman's final answer. This answer is not only for Truman, but also for everyone in the world. Fortunately this answer is a good one. The third-party perspective comes from the audience. A performance requires not only actors and directors, but also audiences. What do people living in reality think about what happened to Truman? Is it a farce, a joke? So what? We won't analyze it in detail, but I believe that in every detail, I can see the human nature as a human being. This human nature is beautiful or ugly, good or evil. We can all judge. The protagonist of this film is definitely not just Truman alone, every participant is the protagonist, and everyone is showing his true humanity. So Taoyuan will not exist. In the end, Truman chose to return to the real world. Some are happy, some are sad. No one is sadder than christof, he failed. The happy people are those who have sympathy for Truman. It's like there are two types of people in our world, those who are pessimists in life and those who are optimists. The optimist who finally chooses to stay, because although the world is not beautiful and not completely real, he really wants to overcome the fantasy that has no temperature and no true feelings at all. However, everyone in this is just a kind of person, representing every real person in our life, we are both pessimistic doubt and optimistic believe. However, in any case, only bravely facing the truth is the thought that this film wants to convey to us. Facing the exit at the last minute, what do you want Truman to choose?
