Warning to mankind hidden in the The Truman Show

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2012)

The Trueman Show could be a warning through film, similarly to The Wizard of Oz and how that was used to tell a more important story and is not merely entertainment but a warning to humanity, if we are prepared to see it. The Trueman Show is one example of many other films sending out this warning.
Truman Burbank represents "the people" while the actors (bystanders, friends and family of Truman) on the ground are the "gatekeepers" of the "illuminate" who are hiding in the hollowed out moon. The audience may be alien intelligence (who in the movie some of which get on the "set" (inside Trumans world) to interact with Truman, could be representative of aliens interacting with us) watching us from another dimension or from "above", or might just be us the viewers looking into the "looking glass" (TV).
His name says a lot and is like an overview of the whole meaning, Trueman is true + man = truth for man, while Burbank is Bur (prickly/thorn) + Bank (money/power) = corrupt elite or illuminate, therefore Truman v Burbank = right v wrong or good v bad etc.
I believe the warning could be to inform "the people" who are prepared to see it for what it really is, that if we can overcome our fear of living we can set ourselves free from the illusion of our controlled reality and if we don't then we remain in bondage, as shown in the movie where Trueman overcomes his fear of the water (water represents the essence of all life, so he fears life or living) to eventually escape at the edge of his "prison". Truman's fear of the water was constructed through events orchestrated by his controllers and is a mirror of how humanity has been left in a state of fear through controlled and manipulated staged events.
There is a screen shot of a view that appears to be a pyramid and is one of many examples of "illuminate" symboling used in the movie. Truman is in his car at the bottom of the pyramid, to get to the top he has to overcome his fear of the water by crossing the bridge. The sign post on the right looks like a police badge outline which is a reminder of control, and the light at the top of the lamp post representing the "eye". The long yellow line in the middle could be a reference to the yellow brick road from the Wizard of Oz.
Andrew Niccol the producer and writer of The Truman Show also directed and was the writer for Gattaca made one year before, which has an interesting link as this is about how to overcome and beat the PTB in an Orwellian society through overcoming fear to achieve the ultimate goal for the main character Vincent Freeman of escaping earth, which is the same goal for Truman Burbank.
