Truman is stuck in a world he doesn't know and has to figure out how to leave.

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2015)

The Truman Show shows how fake our own media is nowadays. News, politics, advertising and public affairs are increasingly made up of theatrical illusions. Like our media, it is convincing and seems real with lifelike simulations. The fake sun that radiates false sincerity of the actor he believes to be his best friend. And it's flawless. There are almost no flaws that give away the illusion until things start to go wrong. Truman shows the symbiotic relationship we have with media and how we want to leave it but we can't break it off. It describes two kind of relationships we have with media. We either adore it and have everything to do with it or we don't get involved with it and are repulsed by it. The irony is very prominent as this idea is brought up by none other but the medial powerhouse, Hollywood.
