Some viewpoints from the Truman Show

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2007)

In this movie, Truman thought he was a normal man, had an insurance job, a beautiful wife, neighbors, and some friends at first. But the truth is cruel. Trumen Burbank, is actually a well-known leading character in a TV series called "The Trumen Show". All of his movements have been recorded by cameras, sent to worldwide by satellites, and at last, shown by the TV monitor, and have been seen by most of the people around the world. Having read the novel "Running out of Time"? Jessie Keyser, the young leading character in this book, has the same situation with Trumen. Living in Clifton in 1840, she didn't know that many eyes have watched their life until her mom told the truth, about the outside world in 1996. It just let me think about those celebrities. They have been chased by some paparazzi since they became a focal point. "Princess Diana's accident" might proved this. Some odious paparazzi, no, "spies" would said,"This is just my job." for excuses. This movie told us, that the importance of the right of privacy and respectability to the others. Each person is an individual human being, not just a toy or a monitoring object.
