Entry 8: Responding to a significant topic in The Truman Show

Topic 1


The story is talking about a person whose name is Truman. He wishes to have a regular life without complications and obtain his happiness. Truman is  in his thirties and he works as a salesman for an insurance company and he lives in a beautiful city which name is Seahaven and it is located in an Island. Truman seems to have a very nice sense of humor and a very good heart with others and he says that something is not going right on his life and later he discovers  the truth, and he starts to realize about the reality . " The Truman Show"  producers start to fail with certain mistakes and make Truman think about the reality. Truman made the decision to leave his town Seahaven, when he understood that everybody the audience was involved in his life. He tells his family friends and wife that he is going to a place that he likes very much which name is Fiji. There in Fiji he met a beautiful woman, and he feels very enthusiastic and happy because he realizes that is a real life for him but his producer, Cristoff allows him to know the truth and tell him that is better for him to be in Seahaven and Truman after knowing Cristoff's words knew that his entire life was a fake TV studio. Truman never wanted to leave his Island despite of his fear of water, when he was a child and he saw his father drown in a storm. After this long trip as a show,  Truman knew the real truth that was around him.
I disagree with Cristoff 's decision, for the following reason:
Usually producers want to succeed and demonstrate his or her talent in order to have a high percentage of audience and show the world what can be done or what needs to be improved. But I disagree completely with Cristoff about having done a film without asking for permission. I would not like to be in Truman 's shoes and feel victim that I have been recorded for my entire life and just to show the world about something that I do not know. We can obtain many different ways in order to record our lives and show the world about a reality. And also be prepared to start with a show that I have the knowledge that is a show.
