The Truman Show Review

Rating: 8/10 (15 September 2015)

The Truman show was a satire that I feel was aiming to target the way that people choose to live. I got to this because of a quote that sounded really strong and powerful, it said "We choose to live in the world that we are put in". I took this as saying that like Truman in the film we tend to get stuck in routines by whatever the world throws at us and we don't do anything to try and change it, like Truman who went into adulthood before finally realizing his whole life has been planned. This quote could also hint at the way the media affects how people live. Reality TV shows have been very popular lately and the fact that there lives are in front of the whole world to see changes them by not doing things to make them happy but doing things to make an audience happy.
