The Response of the Truman Show




After I watched this movie completely, it had really rocked me to my core. Even I after one week, the shock which it gave me still lingered on. Sometimes, I cannot help asking myself who I am just like what Truman do in the movie.

Actually, I watched this movie three times. At the first time, I only watched for approximately 15 minutes, and then I lost the interest to this movie, because at that time, I just thought the plot was so boring and it just told some trivial things. And I even felt that this movie was even worse than soap operas. But one of my roommates told me it was very classical and persuaded me to keep watching it. At lost, I just decided to sit before the computer patiently to complete this movie. With the developing of the plot, I gradually began to be attracted by this movie. And after I finished it, I cannot help watching it one more time.

I have to say, the plot is so novel. What’s more, another thing which let me appreciate it so much is that it can express something profound and meaningful under this good plot. Almost everyone who finishes watching this movie will feel very shocked.

Can you image after you come down on earth for thirty years, you suddenly found that all the people around you are lying you, even your mother, your wife and your best friends who grow up with you. All these things happened on the leading actor of this movie-----Truman. When he was living a peaceful day before, one day he suddenly found his dead father on the street. Then he felt that always existing someone following him. He wanted to leave this city, but a series of unexpected things just stop his plan. Actually, all these are done by the director; the city which Truman lived is just a big studio which 500 mini video. From the day he was born, all the things he had already done were recorded and broadcasted to the whole world.

Luckily, at the end of this movie, Truman chose to leave the fake world he had already lived for thirty years bravely when he found the truth.

  1. I seldom watch movies, but I did catch Jim Carrey's 'The Truman Show'. Jim Carrey is a great actor, and I love his movies - needless to say I like this movie too (more for the actor than the plot I guess). But indeed, the plot is novel (now that you'd mentioned), and a very good one too!
