(and the movie's) Truman Burbank. Now the creator of the show Christof says, that Truman is the only thing real about the show. He says we accept the reality with the world we are presented. Even if the world is fake. Christof says in an interview, nothing about this world is fake. I see that Truman is not really a "True man". As we find out early on in the movie Truman has a thing for an extra. The extra's real name is Sylvia, but she is playing a person named Lauren. Truman develops a crush towards Lauren but per the order of Christof, Lauren is not allowed to speak to Truman, she is an extra. My beef with this that Christof said nothing on the show is fake. So why does the love between Truman and his wife Meryl have to be fake? Why didn't Christof let Truman love the girl he wanted to love. Christof did not let Truman be a "true man". Christof forced a relationship. If Truman were to really be a "True man", the show would have to let him live his life and find things out for himself. The show instituted all of these fake fears into him to keep him on the island. Truman Burbank was not a "true man", but in fact just as fake as everybody in the town he called "home."
I have something that I don't agreed with you. about Truman he is a perfect character the only reason why he have the extra because some people In his life have try to help him get out of the illusion.
ReplyDeleteI never thought as Truman being anything other than a true man. After reading your post I kind of have to agree with you in saying that Truman was not a true man because the world in which he live in was not true.
ReplyDeleteWhen watching the movie, I thought Truman was the only "true man" in his town, because everything was false. But after reading your take on it, I do see why you would think he was not a "true man"
