What could be a reality

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2016)

In the last scene of The Truman Show shows two security guards who watch the show their whole day at work. One of them says to the other what else is on after Truman leaves the set. For the first time in the history of the show Truman says something directly to the fans watching. The Truman Show is aimed at all audiences because it is a funny and dramatic film but only some will see the true meaning behind it. For the romantics there is a love story between Truman and Sylvia, Lauren, for the comedians Jim Carrey hilariously portrays Truman Burbank, and for the dramatics it tells the all too sad story of how a young child is taken at birth and raised by a corporation for profit. The Truman Show is a must see for everyone.
Weir's take on The Truman Show was made to display the directors beliefs of what could happen if reality TV goes too far. A fictional idea that could be all to true. When someone is filmed non-stop for their whole life they ultimately are given no privacy. Weir named the director of The Truman Show on TV ,within the movie The Truman Show, Christoph because of a performance artist named Christoph who would use people and other object to create art. The Truman Show in some ways was made to show how artists might go "too far" in creating what they believe is art. Christoph traps Truman in what is basically a cage for his entire life. Everything Truman has been taught has been controlled by someone else. Truman has no choice in choosing what he can and cannot do. His entire life has been controlled by the outside world. Weir is trying to warn people that if actions are not taken soon people may go too far in the real world. Restrictions on what people can do without an individual's consent should only ever be needed as a fall back. Artists and creatives alike although they may want to finish their "dream project" should have the ability to restrict themselves from doing unethical things. Peter Weir has set a limit of what something should never be with his film The Truman Show.
