"The Truman Show" is a movie about a person who called Truman. He lives in a false world which is created by a show director Cristoff. Truman's daily life has been played on the TV since he was borned, but he does not know the lie. Evrything around him is not real, include his parents, his wife and his friends. Everybody around him pretends to be so nice to him in order to hold him in this unreal world. For the show, he is a product which is used by a company to make profit. For the audiences, he is a hero who tries his best to escape the false world after he knew the truth. In the end of the movie, the show director Cristoff tells Truman that he creates what he considers a "perfect world" for him to live "happy everyday". He did it because he wants to protect him from the complex sociaty outside.
Maybe Cristoff really wants to protect Truman and wants him to grow up in a happy world, but I think that it is not a good method to protect a person by using a big lie. We maybe can lie to a person at a period of time, but it is impossible to lie to a person during his whole life. There must be one day that he will know the truth. If he found out his whole life was a lie, he would be upset and do not believe the people who are around him. I remember there is one scene in the movie, they used his father's death to lie to him. If he did not meet his father again, he never knew the truth. Nobody would like to live in a lie and use his whole life to exchange this kind of "happy after". Especially this lie concerned his father's death, it is terrible for Cristoff to use Truman's enmotion of his father to lie to him. And also, it reminds me of an exprience that my best friend lie to me. At that time, she said she wanted to protect me so that she lied to me. She did not tell me the truth is my ex-boyfriend already had another girlfriend when he and I was still in a relationship. I could understand she just wanted to protect me and cared my feels, but the problem was she really hurt my feeling because I really believed her. She thought that I would be happy to live under a "beautiful lie" that she consider it was, but she never considered what I really want. I just want to face the truth even though it will hurt me. It is better than escape the sadness which comes from the truth. I also will mature after this exprience. I will learn from what I exprience, no matter it is bad or good.
In conclusion, I think Truman has the same thought as me, it is also why he prefers to escape this "perfect world". He prefers to go out and live in a complex sociaty which maybe hidden many dangers. Maybe he will get hurt there, but it is better than being a slavor of a show in a unreal world, and even a slavor of the lie.
